Rehearsed Reading in the West End!

At the end of May, my play Sanctuary will have a “rehearsed reading” at the Seven Dials Playhouse! It’s tentatively scheduled for 22 May at 2pm, but that’s subject to change depending on the cast and director. Before I started delving into the world of playwriting, I never heard of a rehearsed reading. Had no…

The Last Book

This is it, my friends. In April I released my final book, a story about survival and living with PTSD called One Reason to Live. To date, I’ve published 12 books, and I think that’s a good place to stop. My journey as an author has been a tumultuous one, and I frankly just don’t…

Survival Memoir Release!

This is it folks. The first book I’ve published in nearly a decade. It was a very difficult decade, thus the pause. Throughout the past ten years, I’ve survived assault, loss, and divorce…and rebuilt my life from a very dark place. During that time, reading other survivors’ stories kept me going. They helped me realize…

Love Bombing & Oxytocin Addiction

Love bombing is a term widely used within the context of a romantic relationship. It’s essentially a form of manipulation that attempts to artificially create intimacy.

Review: “The best book ever made.”

Hyperbole. I use it often for emphasis, especially when overwhelmed with joy or another passionate emotion, so I deeply appreciate this glowing 5-star review by reader K. A. Schaefer for the 5th book in the Rowan of the Wood fantasy series: SPIRIT OF THE OTHERWORLD. Awesome! The best book ever made. The ending is the…

At Long Last: Spirit of the Otherworld

Although I wish this post was announcing the actual release of the fifth and final book in the Rowan of the Wood fantasy series, as originally planned for a Christmas 2013 release, I’m proud to at least unveil the cover of Spirit of the Otherworld: Rowan of the Wood, Book Five. For those of you…

This is the long-awaited sequel, of sorts, to the Amazon Gothic Romance bestseller Avalon Revisited, available from Riverdale Ave Books in either paperback or eBook. About Avalon Revamped: Arthur Tudor, a vampire for nearly four-hundred years, finds himself bored with life and…

Elimination Diet: Day 24

Day 24 with only 4 days to go on the 28-day Elimination Diet. Today, tomorrow, and Wednesday, I’m re-introducing dairy to see if there is a major reaction. Like I said last week, I pretty much have reactions to everything, no matter what. The one thing that has reduced considerably is the mood changes and…

O. M. Grey Talks Four-Fold Twitter Approach

My alter-ego, O. M. Grey, wrote a post for Erotic Romance Publishers on my Four-Fold Twitter approach. Here’s an excerpt: Sex sells. At least that’s what we hear over and over again, and it does to an extent. Erotica sells quite well to a specific audience, but then mystery sells well to a specific audience,…
