Sneaking back from my hiatus to share with all lovers of story that a number of authors have banded together for a special online promotion this weekend. First, my thoughts are with everyone along the East Coast who is facing Hurricane Irene. It’s hitting the Outer Banks of North Carolina as I write this. In fact, it’s hitting the Cape Lookout National Seashore, a place I know well because I …Read the Rest
For those who follow this blog, my apologies for another “on hold” announcement. My father passed away a few days ago. It was unexpected, but peaceful. He was 81, and I’ve had the luxury of living in the same town with him for the past five years. However, the blog must again be put on hold. I have a few family events to attend, some upcoming snowy travel, and a …Read the Rest
Christmas is next week and I am, to say the least, not prepared. In fact, my To Do list is towering very tall and rather unsteadily as I try to clamber back on top of it. I still have gifts to wrap, to ship, to BUY–ack! I run an online writers community that’s all about goals. New Year’s is a major kick-off for new annual goals and welcoming new members. …Read the Rest
I hunger for a good story. As much as I hate to miss a whole week with you all, I’m putting the blog on hiatus. The holidays have filled my calendar with a lengthy list of “to dos.” I’ll return on Monday, Dec. 13th with more regularly scheduled blog posts. Meanwhile, enjoy the tiger. I’ve been looking for an excuse to use this photo… No, he didn’t eat me. However, …Read the Rest
Just a note that there’s no post here today because I’m over at Romance University discussing Linear vs Non-Linear Story Structure and how they’re used in different mediums of storytelling. Please feel free to swing over there and check out the post. I’ll be back here on Monday to discuss the importance of World Building–not just in fantasy or science fiction, but in all of our stories. Have a great …Read the Rest
Welcome to the launch of What’s the Story?. I’m excited by the premise of blogging on the topic of story. Personally, I love stories of all kinds. Stories bind teller and audience through an emotional exchange. Stories make us feel as well as think. Stories help us be more human. I’ve been a fan of stories in many forms for decades. I was raised in a family of avid readers …Read the Rest
I'm a storyteller at heart. After fifteen years in professional theater, I turned from the stage to the page to write fiction. It's been a journey honing my craft in this new medium, but my debut novel LYING EYES is now available from Carina Press and other online retailers. I love contemporary and historical tales that combine romance and adventure. When not writing, I run an online community to help goal-oriented writers achieve their dreams.
