Where Fiction and Reality Meet
One of the subplots in Sleigh Ride revolves around Arthur’s nephew, Thomas, who is six years old and has a doll. Thomas appeared in the story after I’d been writing for a month. Something seemed to be missing, and then one day when revisiting the opening, Arthur started talking to his nephew, which was delightful—and... Continue Reading →

My new novel Semper Fi is about Marines who go from friends to lovers after WWII.
