For Mothers Everywhere

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
Today, I’d like to wish all the mothers, and those who will soon become mothers a lovely Mother’s Day. As I was thinking about this special holiday, I couldn’t help but think about my own mom. Thinking about her caused me to think about other moms, and about a friend of mine who will soon again become a mom. Mothers, if they are anything like mine, are so precious—even those who have passed on. For my own mom, I truly thank God each day. I am overjoyed that she is yet here.

The Cohort Trilogy, meet Veronica —more aptly known as Ronni…

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
Today, in keeping with our theme:The Cohort Trilogy-Book I,  Absolution which will soon be re-released with new ISBN numbers, new covers, and updated content I’d like to speak to you about our lead character. Well not about him exactly. I want to introduce Ronni to those of you who haven’t yet met her. This butter-yellow mouthy spirited woman happens to be Beau’s other roommate.
 
Now I must tell you, with Ronni [RON-nee] you will either love her or hate her, there is no in between.

The Cohort Trilogy, let’s talk about Cousin…

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
I’m back. Let’s jump right in. I wanted to let you know concerningThe Cohort Trilogythat soonBook IandBook IIwill  be re-released with new ISBN numbers, new covers, and updated content. I’m quite happy about that. As the time nears I will remind you.
 
Now back to what we were discussing last week – the characters inThe CohortTrilogy-Book I,Absolution. So I told you a bit about Beau, our gay male lead… therefore I want to mention his cousin, a woman who is also in the book.

The Cohort Trilogy, Beau in particular...

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
I must apologize. I’ve been so busy! I wanted to get back to you and tell you a bit more aboutBook IinThe Cohort Trilogy, my super-fast-reading novelAbsolution. Well, here I am.
 
To pick up where we left off, inAbsolution, you get to meet Beau, one of the stars of the show, a buff beautiful gay male. Now he maylooklike he’s got it all together, but there are some other things going on, trust me. However, you’ll have to read the book to find out what those issues are.

Someone Else's Book I Read

I want to quickly tell you about a book I happened to read. Actually, I took the last two days off from writing
so I could immerse myself in it. The book is called 'I See Your Dream Job,' by Sue Frederick, and boy is
it powerful! Yes, I love self-help books and lots of things that seem 'new age' to some people.
 
Anyway, about the book; Sue the author is an intuitive, someone who instinctively knows, after interacting
with a person what they would be best and happiest doing in their career. Don't get me wrong, I did not

So yummy!

Hi readers, friends and fam,
 
I just wanted to let you know how excited I am to be able to finally offer youIniquities!
It'sBook IIIin myCohort Trilogy, and believe me, just like you loved the first two, you're going to feel that way about this one. I don't mean to sound cocky. You all know that's not my way. I'm just saying... I gave this book all I had.
 
I had help too. That I'm happy to report. My gay male friends were more than willing to give me their input. You know, to make the story real.

Get Ready For 'Iniquities!'

Just wanted to update my readers...
 
I am putting the finishing touches on Iniquities, the third novel in The Cohort Trilogy. Ladies, and gentlemen, I think this is some of my finest work yet, but I'll let you be the judge!

It's been a while

I know I haven't said anything in a while. That's because I've been working on the third book inThe Cohort Trilogy. I did also tell you that I wasn't the greatest at blogging, and that I would do so when I could say something of interest to you. I don't want to waste your time, you know?
 
Since many of you keep asking me whereBeau's bookis, the follow-up to both  Absolution  and Progression, I can only say, it's coming. I love that you're interested, don't get me wrong. I can tell you too that like the first couple of novels, this one is also a ride!

So Much Going On!

Hey,
 
 
In the midst of all that I as an author and editor have got going on, I just wanted to let you know that yes, I am working on Iniquities, the third novel in  The Cohort Trilogy.
 
I wanted you to know that yes, it is going to be something! The only difference between this book and its predecessors is that it is mostly about the buff, gay male Beau. In this novel, you’ll get to peek into his closeted world and find out quite a few things.  As with the prior two novels in the series,

A Dedicated Reader Asked...

A dedicated reader asked about my latest fiction.
 
My answer: It's a great, semi-traditional romance calledTURNABOUTand it is available many places, includingAmazon. It is truly adult fiction in its purest form --as is most of my work.
 
TURNABOUT showcases a woman who happens to be involved with a pop music producer while another man won't leave her alone.  It is a love story that not only involves the main couple, but also family, friends, and foes.
 
I wrote it like this because isn't that how relationships go anyway?
