It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Ahh...it’s February and love is in the air! Everyone loves a good romance that ends with and they lived happily ever after. That’s where most books end. But in real life that’s just where the fun begins. After the whirlwind engagement, the beautiful wedding, and the romantic honeymoon, it’s time to settle down and live your life together with the man or woman of your d

     A Flash Fiction Magazine Editor Ben Erlichman says, "Splickety Magazine exists to bring high-quality short fiction from new writers, established authors, and everyone in between." Get the day off to a good start with a quick read, or enjoy entertaining fiction while waiting at children's activities. It’s great for taking to waiting rooms, because the reader can finish an entire story before his or her name’s called. In some waiting rooms, the reader probably can finish the entire magazine. The first issue launched this month and is available in digital and print copies. One story touches the heart while another brings laughter and yet another surprises the reader. In addition to finding sixteen stories, readers can peruse a prologue to Over the Edge by best-selling author Brandilyn Collins.  While going through Splickety I hope you'll look for my story, "Lifeline.” Splickety is available in digital and print copies from https://magcloud.com/account/

Because I love mystery and romance, I signed a three book contract with Desert Breeze for a new romance/mystery series, The Zoe Mack Mystery Series . The Secret of the Love Letters is the first book in the series, with others to follow in June and December. Why do you write? I write for the simple joy of placing words on the page. It's more than a hobby, it's a passion. I recommend new writers not write for fortune or fame because it many never come. If you're writing because you love
