I’m writing you from my wonderful, relaxing vacation in the upper and very cool part of Washington. Not D.C. Port Townsend is a great little bohemian seaport filled with ambiance and art and fun and laid-backness, just what I needed!
Nonetheless, I embark on another sort of tour Monday, where I will begin my “trip” with [...]
Surely you know how exciting this is to us lighthouse people!
A quick surf through cyberspace will turn up numerous celebrations of National Lighthouse Day. I am celebrating by kicking off my month-long campaign to launch my latest romantic lighthouse mystery, CAPE SEDUCTION!
But back to NLD. What’s it all about, actually? Well, back in 1988, Senator [...]

I hope so. Because life would be pretty dull without some kind of imagination. As you watch this wonderful slideshow of St. George Reef Lighthouse, just imagine what Darla’s life may have been like while visiting “Dragon Rock Lighthouse!”
St. George Reef Lighthouse
1948. Post war, recovery.
Hollywood was wooing back the public with blockbusters like The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Key Largo and The Three Musketeers. The beautiful people were “seen” at the Brown Derby and held their not-so-secret trysts at Chateau Marmont. They drove fishtail-finned Caddies and flew in the luxurious Douglas DC-6.
Darla Foster wanted to [...]
It’s been three years since I last attended Printers Row in Chicago. It was hot but pleasant. Hoards of people. There I met fellow Echelon Press authors J.R. (Jenny) Turner, Luisa Buehler, Robert Goldsborough, Marc Vun Kannon, Margot Justes, Mary Welk and of course our fearless leader, Karen Syed. This year, we’ll be joined by [...]
Set in an off-shore lighthouse perched on a deadly reef near the extreme northern California coast, “Dragon Rock Lighthouse” provides the eerie, dangerous background for CAPE SEDUCTION. The story takes us back to 1948, when a popular Hollywood starlet goes missing after the filming of a blockbuster movie set in the water-locked beacon. In 2008, [...]

Small press month
Women’s history month
National Nutrition Month
National Kidney Month
American Red Cross Month.
See anything interesting yet? Maybe you’re not up to a whole month of anything, so consider this: it’s Read an ebook week! Yes, those annoying tree-huggers are back, admonishing you for still reading paper books! I’ll admit [...]
Aside from the notion that I am, in fact, going mad, everything seems to be fine.
Everyone is quick to say, “2010 will be better!” Even in the bank today, a customer—a stranger to me—called out the same, asking for my concurrence. I do believe that people everywhere are ready to feel better. They are ready [...]
I am one of Pavlov’s pups when it comes to this song by Edwin McCain. “I’ll Be” (see below) and “I Could Not Ask For More” set standards for romance in popular music. Read (and hear!) more about this soulful troubadour at his website. Turn up (or down, as the case may be) your speakers [...]

Was it a hoax? It’s kind of looking that way, isn’t it? Would a six year old manifest anxiety over lying by being nauseous? Could happen. If it was a scheme, how sad. People can be so pathetic in their obsession for notoriety. If it truly was as presented, it’s still a sad commentary [...]
