Hopes for the New year.

As this year ends, I find myself thinking about the future. I love writing stories that catch your attention and speak to diversity and hope. I also write to call out bigotry, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, racism and other forms of exclusion and hatred.Writing about queer trans woman Mary Dubois, allows me to use my voice in a way in which I feel rewarding. So, as I wait to see where I go…

A Dearth of Representation, with hopes and dreams.

Since completing my debut novel, which is presently in the hands of my publisher at Brainspired Publishing, I have already started work on the second installment of the Mary Dubois Thriller series. Now that I’ve had that first drink of the nectar which pours from the fountain of the Imaginarium in my mind, I understand that it flows freely and is only limited by what I’m willing to write, by what…

This is how I fight. (quoting: Dharma Kelleher)

I came across a post from a sister thriller writer who says she writes as an act of activism in the face of anti-LGBTQ violence and anti-trans laws. I’m ad-libbing as these are not her exact words. However, I think she says, “This is why I write. This is how I fight.” Her words brought it home for me, not that I wasn’t aware of why I was doing what I’d been doing after my transition all those…

My First Draft!

I am delighted to announce the completion of the first draft of my debut thriller, “The Rainbow Killer, a Mary Dubois Thriller.” This first draft is 77,220 words, that’s 268 pages. It’s not for the faint of heart, as it contains graphic details of mutilated bodies and swearing and is provocative as all hell. I wanted to tell a story in which the protagonist is a queer, trans woman. I populated…

Born with this voice!

I love that I wrote my memoir “Breaking Free: 45 Years in the wrong body” and published through Brainspired Publishing. In so doing, a door opened on a new way for me to continue being creative. Hopefully, those who read it will come. away with a deeper understanding of finding a way forward while being different.As I mention, the door is open for me to explore a genre I have long enjoyed as a…

Trans Representation in Literature.

Trans literature is not new; it has been a subject for a long time through works such as Ovid’s Metamorphoses and Virginia Woolf’s Orlando. Then came the biographies and memoirs, Man into Woman by Lili Elbe, Kate Bornstein’s Gender Outlaw, Casey Plett’s A Safe Girl to Love, and many more that I could easily enumerate, but the list would be lengthy. Suffice it to say that there is representation…

Creating and Marketing.

I enjoy the process of writing as much as I have ever loved drawing and painting. Both activities have this in common; they are introverted tasks. I am an introvert! I am a loner when it comes to expressing my creativity, and yes, I enjoy sharing my process, but I have great difficulty promoting my work. When I need to promote to market, I get nervous and self-conscious and go into it dragging…

A Dark Psychological Thriller Writer.

When I set out to write fiction after my memoirs got published, I wished to continue writing, only about something other than me. A couple of years ago, I was nearing the end of a four-decade-long career as a painter. I needed a change, a different way of sharing what I observed, what I thought.Being me, this meant I plunged headfirst into books on how to write novels, signed up for MasterClass,…

Achievable Goals.

I have never been good at setting goals or being exceptionally well organized; one could say that I’m something of a pantser (fly by the seat of your pants type). However, now that I feel more comfortable as a writer and know that I can tell a story, I am setting two goals for myself regarding this thriller I’m working on.1. I will try to write 500 to 1000 words daily. 2. I want to complete the…
