Charitable Payout Update December 12, 2017 Thank you! Your purchases of ‘A Kiss to Keep You’ have made it possible for me to give to a great charity: Lone Star Warriors Outdoors When I first put together the idea for a year-long charity initiative and decided on 50% of all first year sales for this title, [...]
There's been a LOT going on since I last posted. I've been too busy writing stories and books to do a blog post, but I promise to try and ... who am I kidding. If the guys wanna talk, I'll listen to them -- that's who you want to hear from anyway, right? So let's [...]

There's been a tale rattling around in my head for a while now, ever since I penned Twisted Penny, a short story for the OAMC anthology. George Bell, aka Twisted, has been all up in my face, demanding he get more page time, so what else could I do? I'm giving it to him. Set deep [...]
I've been playing with an idea about the early days of Mica, how she came to be embraced by the club, and what kind of encounters she might have had. It's from her point of view, but kinda not, since we know all the players. Some of the guys are talking, and I kinda like [...]
