I occasionally guest blog on Writers in the Storm Blog (WITS), a top blog for writers. I’m going to start linking those posts here.

A couple of years ago did an experiment on character development. I wrote a story and asked the readers to respond to a question at the end. The results of that experiment are posted here on WITS.

If you’d like to read the story, it’s available on Amazon for 99 cents.

I’m going live! Join me for a Facebook Live broadcast celebrating the release of the second James McCarthy adventure, Catching Karma. I’ll be answering questions, talking about the characters, and reading a few passages. I might even give you a little peek inside the next book!

One lucky person will also win signed copies of both books. To enter, click the “Sigh Up” button on my Facebook author page and enter your information. I’ll draw the name during the broadcast, and email the winner. You don’t have to be present to win, but wouldn’t it be more fun?

The broadcast will start at 5pm MST on April 21st. That’s 8pm EDT, 7pm CDT 6pm MDT and 5pm PDT.

Something is going on in the Bradshaw Mountains of Arizona. Follow James McCarthy and Will Dugan as they track a killer and unlock a family secret. Catching Karma, the second James McCarthy adventure, is now available for Kindle. Have Kindle Unlimited? Read it for free!
