I was thrilled to read a few exerpts from The Orphan Ship to a good-size crowd at the Lazy Lion bookstore in Fuquay-Varina tonight. My books is now available there.

I just had a great interview with Anne Woodman of The Cary News. Please read her article on The Orphan Ship in The Cary News this weekend. It's always great to have some local PR. The Orphan Ship is available at Wake county public libraries and Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh. You can also order it from one of the links on the right side of this page.

I'm also announcing the formation of a new open-genre writers' group called A Novel Approach. If you're serious about becoming an author, you're welcome to join ANA. We will meet once a month at a mutually-agreed-upon time and location to read and critique each other's work. A writing group can be extremely helpful for feedback and support. I am at a stage with my sequel, The Lost Sheep, where I need some objective feedback from fellow writers. Email me if you're interested, and live in the Raleigh area. ANAwritinggroup@yahoo.com.
