Been finishing up a new manuscript for pub pitch so I’m late to the #Noirvember party this year.

A little #FilmNoir zinger from one of my favorites.

Whether it’s hot or smoky or both this weekend, why not watch something a little different?

An unconventional Cinderella-of-a-certain-age is aided by a gangster “fairy godmother.”

My debut novel, LOVE & MURDER, has won the 12th Black Heron Press Award for Social Fiction.

It is dedicated to my late grandpa, who was steadfast in his belief that, “Everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time.”

Missing you, Grandpa Chuck, this Father's Day. #Booksky #readersky #scifi
