Books, Cake and Snow...in that order

I celebrated the release of my novel The Weredog Whisperer last night at the Jacksonville (AL) Public Library with a humorous, dramatic reading, sing-along, and book signing.  A wonderful friend of mine created the most adorable and delectable cake for the event.  Local author Michelle Lowery Combs (Heir to the Lamp) attended, as did aspiring author Nick Redden. I've posted photos from the event below. 

Today it's snowing in Anniston, Alabama.  It doesn't happen often, every few years, but I'm enjoying the view from my window. My dog, Bo, wanted to go out, but when I opened the door and he saw the snow--something he's never seen before--he changed his mind.

Who let the (were)dogs out?

It's official!  My second novel The Weredog Whisperer--published by World Weaver Press--has officially launched.  Click on the specific tab to the left to read a synopsis, reviews, and purchasing info.

The Weredog Whisperer is my love song to the Florida Gulf Coast and my American pitbull terrier, Moxie.  It's chock full of zany characters, humorous paranormal situations, and surprising plot twists. 


I had a ton of fun writing this book and I hope it shows.  There were times when I laughed so hard at a scene that I cried.  My comedy-writing philosophy is that if it doesn't make me laugh, ain't no one else gonna laugh. 

I drew inspiration from the Chevy Chase Vacation movies and An American Werewolf in London, as well as family vacations to Panama City Beach, Florida when my family lived in Alabama, and later, life as a resident of Florida when my family moved to Gulf Breeze (near Pensacola).  Plus life with two pitbull terriers who are smart, loyal, and absolutely the most affectionate dogs I've ever had. 

The Weredog Whisperer can also be read as a stand alone novel, so if you haven't read The Haunted Housewives of Allister, Alabama, you can go right ahead and dive into Weredog Whisperer.  Or read both.  You have a buffet of options. 

Keep this writer writing and go out there and buy my book.  I think you'll enjoy the ride.

Getting All My Ducks in a Row

My publisher has announced the publication dates for my first novel The Haunted Housewives of Allister, Alabama.  And yes, I'm am doing a happy dance all over my office.  Good thing I teach Zumba Fitness because it's a great outlet for said happy dance.

Here's the link to the press release:

And the Aquatic Exercise Association is publishing my article, "That's Entertainment: Water Fitness Follies" in their members only webzine next month. 

Also, in addition to all the myriad little tasks to go into getting a book launched, I'm doing my darnedest to move forward with revisions to my novel's sequel on a daily basis--no small feat considering how many things I'm having to juggle at the moment.  Some days I feel absolutely schizophrenic from all the "hats" I have to wear and all the gear changes I have to make in a day and a week. 

The good news is that I'm never bored. 

So to recap: ducks in a row, novel and article coming out next month, sequel being revised, entirely different novel being drafted.  Yep, I lead a writer's life.
