What I finished in 2008

I'm proud to say that with all the work I've done what with starting my own technical writing company, Techni-Lingo Corporation, I was able to start and finish "Jade Seas" in 2008. In fact, I just finished it in the nick of time. And, I've subbed it to Red Rose.

All my readers will enjoy reading about Jade and her swashbuckling pirate. It's set in Annapolis and Baltimore, Maryland and features a very "green" theme when Jade opens up a solar and wind art gallery.

Even though she knows it's crazy, she falls in love with Captain Alejandro Valdivia, a pirate she summons from his grave unknowingly.

Will Jade be able to leave her gallery to join Alejandro in the Caribbean? Or will she end up in jail because of her cousin's fiance?

More in 2008

Recently I signed a contract with Red Rose for a delightful story called "Raquel's Abel". Raquel's a very large woman, with a ghost with a very large crush on her. And, Raquel's grandmother thinks she's Anastasia Romanov. The old woman must be crazy - or is she?

And Abel, a World War I ghost wandering around her house, can be very mischievous. Can he persuade her not to have the gastric bypass? After all, he likes every pound of her.

So much has happened in 2008

Where do I begin? First, I published my first and only science fiction novel, Irina's Quest. It was a great challenge to write, but it certainly did turn out to be an exciting story. I call it a "green" and sobering story. It's about Irina, the ship's captain, after Earth has been destroyed, well, destroyed for human life to exist there. Irina's quest is to find another inhabitable planet for her people. She has some very dangerous enemies, but the saving grace is that she finds Ken, a very hot human from another galaxy. I won't tell you the outcome, but having sex with an alien won't let you down.
