about me

After countless writing workshops presented by editors and/or multipublished authors, sweat, blood and tears (not really but why not add some drama) I too am a debut author. My first full lenght novel "Bonded by Crimson" (see the cover as my avatar pic) is getting published by Black Opal Books. Release date January 28th. You can check the first reviews here:

"Treasured Chest" is completed at 74K, so now edits and more edits, but I did submit a partial to an epublisher AND THEY REQUESTED IT IN FULL!!!!! So keep your fingies crossed. Toes too, if it would help. I have to take it down from this site. Apparently, the editors frown upon unpublished books posted on public sites. Even if it's only a short excerpt. Something to consider.

As my publisher said: "The number of words does not matter as much as what you did with those words."

I'm a member of RWA and its chapter FFnP as well as Savvy Authors and Muse. Come and meet me at my blog.

If I didn't read the pitch I would not have any idea from the first chapter what is this book going to be about. And I must admit, not my genre. There's just too much rambling going on here. You seem to go on a tangent about this and that and it reads dissconected. Also it is not recommended to star... view book

The story is captivating and you tell it pretty good, but you need to clean up your prose. First of all the semi-columns are murder in fiction. It's better to start a new sentence. They work in non-fiction as in annual budget report but not in commercial fiction. An editor will scan over the page an... view book

Hi Brian, Writing for children is quite different than the style I'm writing in, but same rules do apply especially when children are involved, you need to keep their interest. You may want to look into the use of passive language. Your opening sentence is telling. It was really hot summer day. R... view book

As per your request I will support you and back your book, however this is not exactly my genre. Nonetheless, there are some issues with your sentence structuring and writing in whole. First, the prologue. Editors don't like them. Why? Many reasons and the biggest one is they give answers for what r... view book
