Retired art director for TV news. Now I play the saxophone, grow orchids, write novels, and annoy my husband.
Fun time yesterday getting interviewed at my local NPR affiliate! Along with fellow authors Madi Love and Gustave Carlson, we promoted the Local Author Open House that's coming up on Dec 6 at the Fayetteville Public library. Writers who like to talk to the public: We really are a thing.

Join me and a dozen other local authors for an afternoon of smiling, chatting, signing books, and being generally ... authorish. It'll be fun!

#writers #writingcommunity #writing In an insane world, is it wrong to use our writing to try to create a quiet space, a refuge where the madness is kept at bay? I'm a news junkie, a former TV newsperson, a small-town elected official, so I'm not apolitical, but sometimes I just have to walk away.

No, I'm fine. I'm just resting my eyes.
No, that's a lie. Actually, I'm halfway through the second act of my current novel-in-progress, and my protagonist keeps wandering off script. My brain is melting.

Genre prejudice. That's when a great actor gets no respect from film historians because he or she worked primarily in genre movies. Every time I see Barbara Shelley in something, I fall in love all over again.

I did a thing. Humor me, just this once, and I'll get back to political sh*tposting soon.

Because there just aren't enough words floating around cyberspace currently, I've revamped and relaunched my website, www.turningupbones.com
It's lean and clean, and yes, I'm using it to promote my upcoming novel, Strange News. Don't judge me.

Well, me plus three editors, five beta readers, and a lot of emotional support from people who will be glad when it's all over. My third novel, “Strange News,” will be hitting the streets on May 3. Ask for it at your local bookstore!
