Point of View: Getting Your Cover

Skythane

Hey all, I’m so excited this week to be able to officially share my cover for my forthcoming first novel “Skythane”. I worked with the amazing Anne Caine on this cover, and am thrilled with the results. We did hit a brief rough patch when the graphics department flagged it for being to similar to an earlier book by another author, but we reworked it, and I think it’s even better than before. It combines a romance look with a great sci fi background. 😛 The book is available for preorder at DSP in eBook and paperback formats. So how has … Read more

Point of View: I Wish I Lived in Stars Hollow

chasm

We’re most of the way through our sixth or seventh or maybe eighth viewing of the entire Gilmore Girls series, and I find myself affected by a peculiar kind of nostalgia. It’s a longing for a simpler time, when things were less messy. Less racist. Less Trump. Watching this show, I can envision the perfect place. It’s clean, friendly, an ideal combination of small town charm and big city mores. Okay, so Stars Hollow is a little white. Maybe a lot white. But there’s something about it that calls to me, that imagines America as it could be if we … Read more

Anne Barwell Gives This Wish Tonight 4.5 Stars

Another great review, this one from Anne Barwell, of “This Wish Tonight” and “Wonderland”: This is also SF, but very different from the previous one as it is set on Earth in the not so distant future after a rather nasty plague has decimated the population. Both Nathan and Zeke need to do some serious soul searching and I liked that one of the MCs is dealing with OCD as it gave the story more of a realistic edge. I prefer to read about characters who have an internal struggle as well an external one. The descriptions of the setting … Read more
