Author’s Lament: For Many, Success Is Merely Money
As I face yet another birthday three weeks after launching the sixth book of my Other Worldly series, Altogether Alien, I’m feeling altogether hopeful, though I had been bordering on despair and wondering if I should give it all up. Or at least take a break from the emotional roller coaster that authoring can be. […]
Authoring an Aries Paper-Crafty Protagonist
March is Women’s History Month, which I celebrate by writing a novel series with a fierce feminist protagonist over fifty, Rowan Layne, who fashions herself as superheroine Luna Moth Woman. Plus, March marks the two-year anniversary of this Luna Moth Woman blog. So, yay for Luna Moth Woman! May she continue to shine brightly and […]
Wearing of the (Alien) Green
Did you know that only two percent of Earth’s population has green eyes? Like curly or red hair, green eyes are a recessive gene, a recurring subject in my Other Worldly novels. Along with the color green itself—and myriad things that appear as green. Including alluring green-eyed aliens. Today, March 17 and St. Patrick’s Day, […]
Altogether Alien Has Finally Launched
The sixth novel of my Other Worldly series, Altogether Alien, has finally launched at online bookstores including Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com, with more to come. The paperback is available immediately, though eBooks take about a month longer. For those who favor an electronic version, it will be available sooner through the publisher, Book Locker. That link […]
Lost in Space While Lost in Transit
I’ve needed comic relief while I await another print galley of Altogether Alien, being sent to my current address this time, or one can only hope. For this next book in the Other Worldly series, six times has not been a charm when it comes to the publishing process. Yes, delays happen, but a lack […]
March Roars In… Without My Next Book
March may have roared in like a lion outdoors, but not so much for the inside angst of my author life. Today’s blog post should have been, was supposed to have been, about the launch of my next novel of the Other Worldly series, Altogether Alien. It’s altogether annoying, frustrating, and disappointing that it is […]
Exploring Unconditional Love and Uninhabited Islands
Throughout my Other Worldly novels, I’ve had a grand adventure addressing—and sometimes solving with flagrant literary license—myriad mysteries involving aliens of the extraterrestrial kind, including the infamous Roswell, New Mexico, UFO crash, hushed happenings at Nevada’s Area 51, and saucer sightings in places like England’s Rendlesham Forest by US AF personnel in December 1980. Not […]
It’s a Bird, it’s a Plane, it’s a Weather Balloon?
Funny, but not really, how everyone seems to immediately assume that objects unidentifiable in the sky are some sort of sinister invader out to destroy us. Evil aliens to be blamed for all the foils of mankind. The very subject of my Other Worldly novels. Because what if aliens are visiting for a positive purpose? […]
It’s Written in the Clouds
Did you ever gaze up at clouds as a kid, or even an adult, and compare their shapes to animate objects? That one shaped like a heart, or a whale, or some kind of strange submarine… In my Other Worldly series, the shape of clouds, in particular ventricular clouds appearing like flying saucers, feature as […]
Otherworldly Past Life Regressions
I often jokingly refer to my former work as an attorney for the Department of Defense as a “past life.” But there are in fact those who espouse that, buried deep inside of our subconscious minds dwell memories—cognitive remnants—of actual past lives. As in, we were once someone else, perhaps even hundreds of years ago. […]
