By

Tags: , ,

Hello from wonderful, energetic New York City.  I am nearing the end of my three week conference odyssey that started about three weeks ago in Munich.  I am at the RWA National Conference.  The previous conferences in Munich and Tampa were reader conventions.  This one is most definitely centered on craft.  I have met some amazing authors. I set next to Amelia Grey and near Patience Griffith at the literacy signing.  I got a signed book for my mother form Robyn Carr.  I have attended workshops on building sexual tension and writing Killer Romantic Suspense.  It’s been really awesome.  I’ve … Continued

Tags: , , , , , ,

This morning I thought I’d give you all I little peek into what I’m working on.  I started Fire and Rain four days ago and it is already about a quarter completed.  I think this is going to be one of those stories with a life of its own and I just need to hold on for the ride.  I only hope my heart can take it.   “They’re already full,” the man said, though he sounded like a kid.  “We got turned away from there a few hours ago.” Bonner’s suspicion rose.  We?  What exactly was going on under … Continued

Carlisle Cops – We All Need a Hero

Tags: , , ,

When I began the Carlisle Cops series, I set the stories in my own home town.  I love Carlisle Pennsylvania and Dominic and I have built our home there.  I have had a few dealings with the police, once when our garage was broken into, and again when the tires on our cars were sliced.  They were always professional and as helpful as possible.  It was after the tire slashing incident that I decided to write Fire and Water, the first story in the series.  Fire and Ice came to me because of a local news story that captured my … Continued

Marty Pfeifer is the model who posed for the cover of Backward.  Once I had finished the manuscript, I asked Jesse and Dirk if they knew of someone who would be interested in posing for the cover of Backward.  I asked for a larger man who was older.  I didn’t want a young kid.  They told me about Marty and sent me a few pictures.  As you can see by the finished work, he’s a handsome man and was perfect to portray Harry on the cover of Backward.  Joey Flyfoto agreed to shoot the images as he did for Jesse … Continued

He’s watched as Tristan dated Eddie and then reluctantly sat on the sidelines during the emotional breakup when Tristan discovered Eddie was dealing drugs. Now that Tristan seems to be healing, Harry hopes to … Continued

Fire and Water – My Thoughts on Release Day!!!

Tags: , , , ,

Today is the release day for Fire and Water.   Dominic came in this morning to say goodbye before he left for work and I could barely sit still on the sofa I’m so excited.  This is a story that really touched my heart.   I was the oldest growing up with a younger brother and sister.  I heard over and over how I was the smart one and they were the ones with the looks.  It hurt.  Of course my peers reinforced that view.  Anyway, I don’t want  this post to be a downer and the point is that in Fire … Continued

Tags: , , ,

I write blog posts all the time and sometimes I forget to write on my own blog.  So I decided to write a post about Christmas with Andrew.  Dominic is amazing and he cooks all kinds of Christmas goodies including cookies and fruitcake.  He also does all the food for our huge holiday open house.  He is an amazing man and I’m lucky to have him in my life. My contribution to the festivities are the decorations.  I put up three trees, decorate the mantle, and the house.  I love lights and if Dominic would let me I swear I’d … Continued

Tags: , , , , ,

Trapped in Oz is the final story in this novella series.  I have thought long and hard and in the future I plan to concentrate my writing efforts on the novel length work.  They give me more time and space to explore my characters and for you to fall in love with them.  So with the exception of holiday and daily dose titles, this is my last novella.  I really hope you enjoy it.  There are plenty of stories already in the works and I’m working on more!     Martin Long has plans and dreams, but they are derailed … Continued
