SNAPSHOT OF MY CHARACTER PROFILE FOR ASHER SULLIVAN: Ideas for my stories usually come to me in the form of a character first. Take for example the hero of my upcoming novel "Her Protector". Asher Sullivan is a former Navy Seal who runs a private security firm based in New York. His job and love interest is Haley Provost, a billionairess who is having some security issues that need fixing! Once that swirled around in my head for a few days I started building my two main char

Okay. So I didn't win NaNoWriMo 2016. In other words, I didn't reach the 50K word count goal (it was closer to 15K). But you know what? That's okay because this was my first attempt at a pretty tough challenge. Now I have no doubt that there are those total rock stars out there that succeeded their first time out and do it every year because they have their shit together and because they're awesome.

Meet Haley Provost, the heroine of my debut novel Her Protector due out November 2016. Although billionairess business woman and socialite Haley Provost shows up often on the blogs and in the news, she rarely does interviews. But recent events have caused her to be more accessible to the media than she has been willing to be in the past. The popular New York online magazine City News was fortunate enough to be granted an exclusive interview with the fiercely private heiress.

Follow my blog on Bloglovin As a writer, I love books that talk about the craft of writing. There are thousands of books out there that are available as resource guides for writers like me. I've only read a handful. But there are a few that I use all the time. In fact, when I am working on my current manuscript, "Her Protector" I usually have them open because I refer to them so often. So I thought I would list those go-to books that I rely on to get me through the good times

As I approach the completion of my first novel “Her Protector”, I am facing many business decisions. One of those decisions is the cover art. Heads up, this is NOT a cover reveal! While I do have the cover design already done, I’m not ready to roll it out just yet. However, I have shared the cover with a couple of non-writers to get their opinions, and their feedback was interesting. One opinion stood out to me in particular. The individual questioned why I chose to put a whi
