ASK ME ANYTHING...
I write noir thrillers, a genre most people don't think of too often, though it influences so much of what is written in both books, television, and movies.
I'd love to answer questions about my genre, so... ask me anything.

Well, I'm doing it...
Tonight I'm going to stop putting it off and actually write my first spicy sex scene.
I'm nervous, but since I can only seem to write in chronological order, I have to do it so I can move on.
Wish me luck, and send any helpful tips my way.

My partner and I are in disagreement about what the phrase "sewing your wild oats" means in common usage. NOT WHAT THE DICTIONARY SAYS, but what most people think when they hear it.
He's been out sewing his wild oats...
No hints here, just tell me what you think it means.

I have a confession to make. I'm terrible at coming up with character names. Like, really bad, so I cheat.
NO, I DON'T USE AI!
Instead, I use real people (with their permission of course).
So, here's the ask...
You want your name in my next book?
I won't promise who you'll be...
But let me know.

This is what I mean when I say #wordle is ultimately luck. There’s no skill that would have allowed me to “figure out” which word it was. English has so many words that are one letter apart. And at that point it’s just luck if you guess the right one.
