After designing the cover for the series prequel, Track Town, a redesign for Ambient Light was inevitable. Now all the books in the series will have the same layout and same fonts. Each cover will be unique, yet the consistency will help Angel McKenzie fans recognize a new book at a glance, even with the […]
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do…
Posted on May 5, 2015 ·
But sometimes it becomes necessary. After more than a year as a member of Rave Reviews Book Club, it’s time for me to say goodbye. It was good while it lasted, but there are some major philosophical differences between what I believe and how the board chooses to run the club. That’s okay. It’s their […]
My 3D Entries in the “DAZ3DPrinting” Contest
Posted on February 28, 2015 ·
This post is graphics heavy. As a certifiable Nerd, I’ve always found computer graphics fascinating. I’ve picked up several free versions of 3D software over the years, but until recently, I never had a computer with enough computing power to run the programs properly. I got a new computer last July, and by late September […]
Happy Holidays
Posted on December 19, 2014 ·
Angel and Jason took a big step this year. They sent out this photo card to their family and friends for the holidays. Don’t they look cute together? Where’s David? Behind the camera, of course. The 3d image was created in DAZ Studio and modified in Photoshop by Call Of The Wild. Like a photographer […]

A New Look For “Ambient Light”
Posted on August 18, 2014 ·
There is a saying within the writing community, often attributed to authors like William Faulkner and Oscar Wilde, to “kill your darlings.” Specifically it means to delete from your books those words you are most attached to as they take away from the readers’ experience. But it can also be said of book covers. The […]
Excerpt: In Spite of Honor
Posted on July 3, 2014 ·
Here’s another scene from the first in The Rocky Shores Resort romance series. I’ve settled on a title for this book: In Spite of Honor. The following excerpt is a scene from chapter five. As the Flying Dutchman Winery is a real place, I’ve included some photos I took while at the coast. This is […]
More Research on the Coast
Posted on June 15, 2014 ·
In chapter five, my main characters—Suzanne and Charlie—spend a long day at the coast; From around 10:00 a.m. until after sunset. Besides showing Suzanne some highlights of the area, they also go looking for a piece of driftwood small enough she can take it home in her suitcase. Originally, I planned on them driving nearly […]
I Need To Go Back
Posted on May 23, 2014 ·
