I’m humbled and in awe to see this baby (which is now technically a teenager after all these years haha) get some love in *this the Carol’s, a contest I coordinated for three years and is part of an organization of which I’ve been a member for the last almost 15 years.

VVolt Cancer Fund-raiser
For those who have missed my posts on Facebook or Instagram, two weeks ago it was determined that my retired military working dog, VVolt N629, was once again battling cancer. The diagnosis came Saturday morning and Monday afternoon, he received his first round of chemotherapy. On Monday the 22nd, he will begin an aggressive radiation treatment against the hystiocytic sarcoma that spread from his leg (diagnosed/treated last October – November) to his abdomen and enlarged his lymph nodes. Mercifully, VVolt is covered by the United States War Dogs Association under their medical and Rx program, so we have had no financial cost, save the cost of gas to drive to the clinic about 45 minutes away. However, the cost is …

Rapid-Fire Fiction Celebrates 10 Years!
This March officially marks the 10th Anniversary of Rapid-Fire Fiction first being published–and I’m DEAD! I cannot believe I’ve been published for ten years, and in that time, I’ve had twenty-five stories released into the wild. My first contract came in 2008. When Steve Laube called to offer representation in February 2007, I had no idea the journey I’d just been plucked into with its highs, lows, victories, tears, awards, best-seller lists, speaking engagements, teaching at conferences … It is hard work, but I wouldn’t want any other job! The easiest part of this career is that I get to write. I love writing, and I’ve LOVED writing paramilitary fiction for the last 12+ years and being a part of …
