Finding the Words

2018 was *not* my year. Between personal, professional and financial difficulties, I struggled in every way. Including with my faith; and with my writing. I hadn’t realized before how deeply connected the two were. Have you read any of my stuff? Yeah, I bet you didn’t see a connect there either. But it seemed the further I felt from God, the harder it was to reach inside and pull out anything creative. It was hard to care about something that felt, for the first time ever, useless. I’ve had moments, years even, in my life where I was too busy, or too scared, to pursue my dream but I still wrote in those moments. I never walked away from that, I just did it for me. In many ways, to keep myself sane, it often felt. Until this year when I couldn’t string a sentence together and wasn’t bothered by the lack. I could barely generate an interest in reading, my second favorite activity. As Christmas approached, I began to feel a loss. A yearn for mass, for ritual and rite, for the feel...

What scares you? #MFRWHooks

Image
What scares you? I don’t mean clowns or spiders; those are irrational fears that develop over time or due to an inciting event. But as a member of the human race, what truly scares you? Is it dying alone? Or do you fear commitment? What roadblock are you creating to hide from true intimacy? What mask are you wearing today? Jayson Donovan and Kylee Parker [A Love Restrained] allow their fears and their masks to stand between them, creating a vulnerability exploited by their enemies. Theirs is more than a story of star-crossed lovers pitted against criminals. It is more than just a second, or third, chance at love. It’s about trust, intimacy, and risking everything for love. A LOVE RESTRAINED Philadelphia police officer Kylee Parker is dedicated to protecting and serving. She sees the work in absolutes: right and wrong, black and white, good guys and bad guys. That is, until she chases a drug dealer into a dead-end alley and finds the bad boy she had a painful crush o...

A RIVER OF SILENCE with Susan Clayton-Goldner #Interview

Image
Today I am pleased to share an interview with Susan Clayton-Goldner, author of A RIVER OF SILENCE, the upcoming entry in her Detective Radhauser series. Is There a Message in Your Novel That You Want Readers to Grasp? A River of Silence is about a hearing-impaired man, Caleb Bryce, who is falsely accused and imprisoned for the murder of a 19-month old child. This is the 3rd book in my Detective Radhauser series. Because of pressure from both the small community of Ashland and his boss, Captain Murphy, Radhauser makes the arrest, but remains convinced Caleb Bryce is innocent. With the help of a young public defender, who wants to prove herself to her father, a world-renown criminal defense attorney, they set out to find the real killer and free Bryce. The novel deals with issues of abandonment and the effects it has on the child even after he reaches adulthood. It also deals with alcoholism and its aftermath which can cling to the lives it affected for decades. Ment...

Former shortstop, Gabriel Foxx, is drawn to his difficult new neighbor. The more the prickly divorcee tries to keep him at arm's length, the more determined he is to break down her walls. He can't avoid the passion Jenna inspires and his friendship with Finn has him yearning for family,   but Gabe won't allow himself to feel more.
