DarkFuse, FWA Blog, and RPLA Award

DarkFuse has published Prelude To A Murder Conviction, which earned a Writers of the Future Honorable Mention. It's a love story, a dark love story, but definitely about a man in love with his wife. If you're looking for dark fiction online, DarkFuse is the place to find fresh content every few days as well as interactive contests in which readers get to vote. Subscribe HERE. I also qualified a story into the first round of the Tiny Terrors contest. Some great writers there and I need to hone my micro-fiction skills! Vote on the winners in eight micro-fiction pairings. No subscription needed! My entry is 'Food'.

I'm now writing a blog on writing at the Florida Writers Association website on the first Friday of every month. Read the first one on the fear writers face when needing to get inside a character's head.

​Still writing, writing, writing on the Year of the Bear, set on Beech Mountain, my Daytona set detective novel, and Alvarium Experiment project 3, which involves a speculative setting and an appearance of a classic fictional character. Mine includes the ocean and a minor character from Moby Dick. Anunnaki, my sci-fi space/Earth novel is on the back burner until May. 

Billie Mae, my paranormal murder mystery set in Charleston, West Virginia won SECOND place at the 2016 Royal Palm Literary Awards in October. I'm *still* thrilled. Two different agents are now holding full manuscripts :-) I'd love everyone to be able to meet Andrea and Taka, all their friends, and Billie Mae, too!
