I’m back from my hiatus. Didn’t know I was taking one, but there it is. I did. Here is a video you will enjoy. This song came out something like 9 or 10 years ago, by American bluegrass band Nickel Creek. Saw them at the Greek Theatre, opening act for someone else, and was just [...]

My upcoming release has a face! I am so delighted with this cover. The lighthouse is none other than St. George Reef Lighthouse, the inspiration for CAPE SEDUCTION. This photo, taken by the delightful Lighthouse People, perfectly captures the dark, broody mood of the setting in this novel. The young woman represents Darla Foster, a [...]
