Piers Anthony Reviews Escaping Paradise

When I published Escaping Paradise, I dedicated it to my grandmother and to Piers Anthony.  I sent a copy to Piers, thanking him again for encouraging me in my writing and for sharing his knowledge with me so many years ago.  I thought I’d probably get a response thanking me for the dedication and that would be that.

What I did not expect was a review!  And wow, what a review!  It took days to…

Escaping Paradise Character Review: Joshua Smith

As the head of security for Allied Futures, Joshua Smith is startled when Alyssa walks through the secured door and into a meeting for the charity group.  He still sets his cautions aside and keeps her around long enough to find out the information he needs to know.

“BUY MY BOOK IF YOU LOVE ME!” (Why authors should never do this)

In my AMA session, I was asked how many friends have bought copies of Escaping Paradise.

In writer support groups online, I regularly see people complaining about how many friends and family members did not buy their books.

The fact of the matter is, a few friends bought copies, but most have not, and I am FINEwith this.  I may be in the minority in not being troubled by those closest to me not…

Escaping Paradise Character Review: Hannah Graves

Hannah is the 26 yr old, African American assistant to Michael Blackstone.  She has worked with him since he was in New York City, and at his request, followed him to help set up the new offices for Blackstone Industries.  Finding the new climate more to her liking than New York in the depth of winter or heat of summer, she stayed with him instead of returning to New York.
