Dying for the Past—Aren’t We All?
I often live in the past. I think we all do. Our past is who we are—maybe not exactly—but it makes us who we are. Doesn’t it? If we have a great past, we live it today. If our past is not what we wished, we can change it. Either way, our past is like history—it is our roots, like it or not. Read More »

Have you missed me, Watchers? My apologies for the long absence. Other concerns kept me away from the column, and some of the shows we typically discuss here I am still behind on, but wanted to touch on a few. *Spoilers will abound, so do not read further if you have not seen the first two episodes of these series.
Grimm, Friday 9:00 EST, NBC
After the last season’s finale shocker, with Nick losing his Grimm powers/abilities and Renard shot, the show came back strong, picking up right where it left off. Read More »

Book Reviews
A couple times this week I’ve opened my Facebook to see discussions among my fellow authors and reviewers regarding reviews and review etiquette.
One of my FB friends had reviewed a movie and got blasted for it. He was told he had no right to state his opinions in his review. The commenter was so nasty to him personally it made the reviewer nervous.

Welcome to our bi-monthly feature with Jay Scott of Great Scott Audio Productions. Jay will be reading from Greywalker by Kat Richardson. Set in my hometown of Seattle, this is book one of the thrilling Urban Fantasy Greywalker series.Watchers, recently we have said goodbye to some of our favorite shows, whether just until they next return, or perhaps, sadly, for good. Several genre shows got cancelled this year, some leaving fans hanging without a clear and decisive ending. If we’re lucky, shows end by agreement, with a plan and a proper send-off by its loose ends being tied up, such as Being Human. Often, however, cliffhanger season finales end up being series finales since the showrunners don’t know the show’s fate at the time they are writing. Read More »

Dying and Murder are overrated. Writing about them is not.
That’s what I used to think anyway. Until my first publishing contract with Midnight Ink last year. Then, holy-crap on a popsicle stick, I got a lesson in being an author!
See, it started with Dying to Know, my fourth book and first to be published. Dying to Know is a murder mystery with a paranormal twist—the story about Oliver Tucker, a fun-loving, wife-loving, take-the-world-by-the-horns homicide cop in my small home town of Virginia. Tuck is murdered in his own home and his world turns, well, weird. He returns to solve his own murder—Detective solve thyself! His biggest challenges are learning to be back Read More »
