EDITORS

EDITORS

Most writers don't love editors. I do. Back since Beth Hagman at Competitor Magazine told me to tell stories in the most linear fashion possible ("the horse pulls the cart over the trail by the fastest route"), the notion of editors crafting a story has been in my head. Through Jason Kaufman, Geoff Shandler, Gillian Blake, and Brent Howard, these wonderful people have made me better. And don't get me started on how much I love copy editors. This gushing deserves an explanation.

SUPER POWER

SUPER POWER

My son asks about my super power. I don't really think of it as a super power, just the ability to hit a deadline. I got too precious/ambitious with the first two books in the Taking series. Delivered late. First time in my writing career that I missed deadlines and I blew through them pretty hard.

A LITTLE UPDATE

A LITTLE UPDATE

It's been awhile since I wrote in this space, so I thought I'd pass along a little update over what I've been doing this past year. Last spring, just as Covid was beginning to look like a long term issue, I began working on the first book of my own in ten years. The title is TAKING PARIS. It's about World War II. I love it.
