The Experiment: The Soundtrack

Music has always played a big part in my life and every book I write comes with its own soundtrack. Book soundtracks are invaluable as they keep me focused on the current book, even when I'm not writing. I listen to them when I'm driving in the car, cooking bacon and eggs for a big […]

The Book My Subconscious Plotted Behind My Back

Usually, when I start writing a new book, it begins with a little spark of an idea. An opening scene, a what if question, random snatches of dialogue that wander unbidden through my brain. In this regard, The Experiment began as any other novel would. With a spark! I was hanging out at home one […]

Ebooks for the Win!

The superiority debate between ebooks and paperbacks has been going as long as ereaders have been around.

What's in a Name?

When starting a new book, there are only about a million big and little decisions an author must make. Everything from the theme of the book, the basic premise, the plot and how to structure it, how many sex scenes to include, how many people will be in the sex scenes… Okay, not all authors […]
