Victory in Europe Day
It’s sad to say, but for most people World War II VE Day is all but forgotten – perhaps even meaningless. VE Day, for those that do not know, means Victory in Europe. Sure, some online networks and few newspapers will have a small article about it, but most people and media outlets skim right over it or pass it up altogether.

Charmed Haven Reviews 'Paper Boats'
I am humbled to receive engaging and intriguing reviews. It means the world to me people are enjoying my novel, whether they are fans or seasoned critics. It’s fascinating to read insights, some which are new to me, things I had not thought of in regard to the characters and the events.

Thinking About Self-Publishing?
I am often asked about self-publishing; specifically, why I chose to do it, how to do it, and what challenges there are in doing it. There are many books and information on the web about these topics and more so I won’t go into it here. I’m not an authority on the subject either, but I will provide some good information on what works, what doesn’t and some of the decisions I made for myself. I chose to self-publish quite simply because I wanted to. It took seven years to writ

In this book, we follow Annie on her journey, which happens at the exact time Otto is on his. It will have all the twists and turns of Paper boats but on a mu
Writing Tip: Never Stop Writing
While I have been writing for many, many years, I still consider myself new to the industry. There was a time when I had to have complete silence around me to write. Not even a piece of dust could hit the ground, because I would hear it and it would ruin my thoughts. It was very frustrating but after about six months that all went away. For starters, in my pressed world it just wasn’t realistic. Something always interrupted. I read an article about how Tiger Wood’s father wou
