Writing is a solitary endeavor... but we're not alone!

I wouldn't be where I am today without the things I've learned from other writers. Friends and mentors who have taken me under their wings. Trusted critique partners who help me polish my words to the brightest shine. Those who have taught classes and workshops. Those I've met at conferences and conventions. And the writers I will probably never meet, whose books still inspire me every single day.

I believe in paying it forward, so this page is for You!

Here you will find free tips and tricks, interviews where I talk about the writing process, and even links to the (live or on-demand) virtual classes I teach on writing and on marketing yourself as an author!

Trailers can be a fun way to promote your new books.

They don't necessarily have to be fancy or even professionally edited to be effective.

Here are a couple of very simple trailers we put together for my debut novel, TWELVE STEPS, when it released in March 2014.

Resource guides can be an effective way to connect with teachers and readers!
