Kiss and Tell

A year ago, if you told me I would be writing a romance, I'd have called you a liar.

You know what? I would be right.

(sorry, that's an old joke)

Then how do I explain my part in best selling author Murray Pura's Blue Heaven Romance series? I was fortunate enough to be invited to a group of varied and talented writers. Under Murray's guidance, we are putting together a series of romance stories in different genres. I was going to say I wrote a fantasy romance, but that sounded like one of those shades of gray. Instead, let's call it a romantic fairy tale.


Before I give you a synopsis, here is a quick look at the other stories in the series:

Emalyn's Treasure by Joy Ross Davis - http://amzn.to/1eVkmRB
Blister Creek by William Tasch - http://amzn.to/1eVlnJm
Do No Harm by Kathi Macias - http://amzn.to/1aLlZgg
Heaven is Not Far by Marian Baay - http://amzn.to/HlDI72
The Whispers of Angels by Jen Cudmore - http://amzn.to/1eVna16

And here is my entry into the series. The story is called A Dragon's Kiss. The title comes from a birthmark that certain villagers bear which destines them to become great warriors. Instead of your typical "damsel-in-distress", I tried to have a little fun. This time the girl is the hero and the guy needs saving. There is plenty of magic, adventure and, of course, dragons.


When you read A Dragon's Kiss, I would love for you to post a comment (even if it's to tell me to not write romance). I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

How Can You Say No?

Look at this face. Do you think she has me wrapped around her precious little finger?


You bet she does!

And the result was this:



So, she came to me with all of these ideas about a story. She wanted adventure in mystical lands. She wanted heroes and monsters. Most of all, I think she wanted to spend some time with her Pop.

I am fortunate enough to be a part of a special and talented group of people known as Trestle Press. Where else could a writer present a story co-written by his 8 year old daughter and have it published? I can not express my gratitude enough to Giovanni and all of Trestle Press for this opportunity.

The story, you ask? The story is high fantasy and it takes place on the world of Kaskaya. The planet bears a strong resemblance to our own medieval past. Except they developed technology with electricity and not gunpowder. Their warriors use swords and computers.

I am not at a loss for ideas. Still, to see what springs out of her head amazes me. She is primarily responsible for the creative content. No name, no place is put on paper without Olivia's approval. Mostly, I think I am there to work the keyboard and turn a phrase. For a third grader, though, she has a way with words herself.

For ONLY 99 Cents, you can't say "NO" to a beautiful little girl? Get the story HERE or click on the picture above.

Don't forget, I have four children. I want everyone to know how proud I am of Zak. He is amazing with computers and helped me with the fantastic cover design. Ashlin is my math whiz and Liam is a junior paleontologist. It is for all four of them that I keep writing. They are my inspiration. It makes it that much sweeter that I can share a by-line with Olivia.

Happy Birthday Olivia!
