Practicing what I Preach. Read a Book, Write a Review.
Thank you so much for taking the time to not only read my nearly 500 page book but also reviewing it so honestly. I too am surprised and delighted to have a man’s perspective on the story. Now I feel much more credible as part of the family here and hopefully I’ve passed my final exam for entry into into this awesome community of writers. 🙂
One thing to tell you about me and the rest of us here at LitWorldInterviews (LWI) is we are going to be honest, even about our own family and by family that includes the LWI Team members. Why, because if we’re not then we might as well not even be doing this at all.
If you’ve read the recent announcements here at LWI, then you know award winning author PS Bartlett has joined our team. You also know her latest novel, The Blue Diamond: The Razor’s Edge was released this past Friday.

The ten worst writing tips I’ve received
The problem with writing advice is that every writer is different. This leads to lots of advice being passed around, often with the type of reverence reserved for holy scripture, that may be of limited use, or at worst, incredibly harmful to a new writer.

I’m sure there will be one or two tips listed here that some of you swear by (or according to number 3, by which some of you swear). The best advice a writer can receive is to go with what works for you. The following definitely didn’t work for me.
Write what you know
This is an incredibly frustrating piece of advice. We have been blessed with a wonderful imagination yet when starting out as a writer you’re told to stick to what you know. How many wonderful…

Here's something I'm happy to announce...
Cover reveal: The Rogue Element
Sharing the author love today! Best wishes to you!
As I count down the days until the release of my novella THE OTHER DANIEL (October 10th), I wanted to offer an exciting sneak peek at my next project.
THE ROGUE ELEMENT introduces a new character to the Grisham/Sullivan universe – Homicide Detective Karl Frost.
The Denver police department is in turmoil after two of its own are shot by a fellow officer. The motives for the shooting are unclear, but speculation mounts that a criminal element within the department is responsible. As he struggles through a grisly murder case involving a hotel room attendant, Detective Frost will also find himself on the front lines of a secret investigation into members of his own unit – men he once trusted with his own life. Before it’s all over, Frost will question whether or not there is anyone left to trust.
He will also be forced to wage the…
