Writers are a Magical Community
Sisters in Crime is a national writing organization founded in 1986 to promote the advancement and professional development of women crime writers. As President of the Colorado Chapter, I've spent the last several months planning a big event for our members.

Honor What’s Most Important to You
I'm ashamed to say that I was a more productive writer when I worked a full-time job outside of my house than I am in retirement. What I hadn't anticipated about retirement is that, ironically, more time kills productivity. A full-time day job left me with minimum time in my study writing. I coveted that… Continue reading Honor What’s Most Important to You

The Lure of Bookstores
Anyone remember B. Dalton, Waldenbooks, or Borders? If you're a writer, you likely remember all of them well. To authors, brick and mortar bookstores are the equivalent of water to a river. We all dream of having our books holding space on the shelves. Even before I began to take my writing seriously, I spent… Continue reading The Lure of Bookstores
Making a Difference to Just One
A while back a friend talked to me about her desire to make a difference in the lives of others by getting her "story" out there. That story consists of almost being murdered by her ex-husband. No one--as in not one--not even the doctors, expected her to survive. But survive she did! She's truly a… Continue reading Making a Difference to Just One

I did an author reading from my latest book, Shear Murder (Book 4 in the Melanie Hogan mystery series) this past weekend. While it was fun to participate in an author event and hang with other local authors--one of them dear friend Karen Whalen who did an author reading from her new release, Peaches and… Continue reading Connections
