Juneta Key has an Author Spotlight feature on her blog where she highlights different authors and their works. Guess who she decided to do a spotlight on? She interviewed myself and Arthur Mace, the main character from my book Arthur Mace, Medieval Gumshoe. It was fun and I’m glad I had the opportunity to participate.

Arthur Mace, Medieval Gumshoe
Here we go, folks! My first novel is now available. I hope that you enjoy it. If you buy a copy and do enjoy it, I’d appreciate a favorable review on Amazon. Good reviews are worth their weight in gold. I’ve just got the ebook out right now and I’m working on formatting the
And the monkey presses the button
So, I finally went and published my first novel to Amazon. There was that moment when I’m sitting there, staring at the button for the last step in the process, and hesitating. This is it. The make or break moment. I publish this and put something out into the world, and hope that enough people

An object lesson on why learning to read is important
So, I’m helping the kids with their homework during the afternoon homework session at the center. Two of the kids (7 – 8 years old) decide that having a shoving contest with me was a better idea than doing homework. Once we got that settled (I won) they were supposed to sit and read. One
All writers are from Australia

I’m a bad blogger
Let’s face it. I’m a bad blogger. My last post was … egads … last September. I’m not sure why I don’t post more often. I think it is because I don’t have much to say, which is strange as I’m trying to make it as a writer. I mean I could just talk about
100 days of words
