Namaste! Please add me as your friend (see ADD to the left). I'd love to hear from readers, aspiring writers, published writers, and artists of every type. I'm from Baltimore, and have lived in various spots worldwide. After working as an archaeologist for many years, I've settled into a desk job with writing as my hopeful retirement job. I enjoy music of all sorts, preferably quirky, classic films, and fantasy and the paranormal as reading material. My favorite authors are Terry Pratchett, David Eddings, and the like. I'm currently published with Ellora's Cave, Samhain Publishing, and Loose ID, and am in search of an agent. I'll let you know how it goes

On competition

I'm at that point in my life (okay, I got my AARP card this year although I'm 15 years away from retirement) that I think I've softened. I never considered myself competitive really, but I feel even l...

On being a hobbyist writer

I've been wondering why people are afraid to call writing a hobby. Agents say it's the kiss of death--they won't take you seriously. But to call yourself a pro...hmnn. I'm not making a full-time livin...

Bad girl, bad blogger

Okay, who else is tapped out? Nothing to say? I have a webpage, a blog, this blog, myspace, a yahoo group, my publisher's groups, my Romance Diva pals, plus a real life. I'm not so good at keeping up ...

What or who inspires you?

I'm a huge Mark Twain fan, and I love these quotes. This is not much of a blog, but I thought I'd store them here, for future reference and for the one person who might see this! ..> I conceive th...

History's Mysteries

What license does fiction writing give you? As a former archaeologist, I get many questions from fellow writers about antiquity. Usually I have to honestly answer "I don't know what the current schola...

Bad Girl

Oh, I've been so remiss in blogging here. I blog there, another place, and that other spot. I'm new to myspace, and besides, I'm not convinced anyone will read this! I'm waiting for edits on one book ...
