I finished my novel, Halcyon Days, last month. I am lucky to have some beta readers who have been great help in getting me to zero on what the novel is REALLY about, and let me tell you, I have been rather shocked by what my unconscious mind has dished out.
When I started this project, I thought it was going to be a YA novel about a teenage werewolf, Genny, living in a crappy trailer with her younger siblings and her moody uncle Clayton. She struggles with a bad reptuation in…

Essentially, it allowed me to cope with a world that didn’t meet many of my needs, in which I didn’t feel like a whole person. There was something so complete and gratifying in the places I went in my imagination that I spent…

You know you have. I'm running two writing workshops, in June and July, in the "quiet corner" of CT about 2.5 hours from NYC and 1.5 hours from Boston.

The Rangers and the Bruins played hockey this afternoon. I watched the game at my brother’s apartment, on his giant TV. He and his wife have a very cute apartment and such a comfortable sofa, and it’s a great place to sprawl and relax. I’m not a sports fan, but it was rainy and chilly out and I felt like spending some time over there. But, last night, their neighbor was murdered. The man who lived next door to them at their garden apartment complex, the man who shared the…
