Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there and all the people who parent. A special Happy Father’s Day shout out to my dad for all he’s done over the years.

Boomerang Boyfriend Excerpt

ChrisUncategorized

I’m working on edits for Boomerang Boyfriend, the 3rd book in the Boyfriend Chronicles series. If you can’t tell from the title, it’s a romantic comedy. Today I’m sharing a scene that didn’t make the cut. Sometimes the hardest part of editing is cutting scenes you love. In this scene, Aiden and Delia are trying to talk things out. It isn’t … Read More

ChrisUncategorized

I’m attending the Barbara Vey Reader Appreciation Luncheon  #BVW17  on April 28th. I can’t wait to meet all the readers and authors. Now I just have to overcome my natural introvert tendencies.

Holiday Shopping

ChrisUncategorized

I have five nephews and they are all old enough to want specific games or lego sets that I’ve never seen or heard of. Rather than fight the crowds and search for their hearts delight, I am taking the easy way out. I’m giving them all gift cards to a local arcade where they can play laser tag or video … Read More

What does Halloween mean to you? When I was a kid (long, long ago in a far away galaxy) everyone made their own halloween costumes because store bought costumes consisted of cheap plastic masks and vinyl jumpsuits which tied in the back like an apron. Here’s a picture from Pinterest showing these costumes in all their cheap glory. Every year … Read More
