Thanks to Marame and the wonderful people at Rainbow Reviews, who gave The Long Way Home four stars and wrote what I thought was a very good, thoughtful, and thorough review of the book that you can read right here. Reviews are scary but they’re also cool. I actually asked for this one, and it’s … Continue reading »

My day in the sun!
I woke this morning to discover, alas, that my day in the sun is over. Still, considering I never imagined in a million years I’d ever make the top ten of ANYTHING, at all, getting to number one at All Romance Ebooks for twenty-four hours was more than fun. Did you ever have one … Continue reading »

This is my favorite…
This is probably my favorite scene in any movie about dance, ever, although the scene in Strictly Ballroom, where our hero slides on his knees across the floor in the final Paso Doble probably comes in a close second.

Holy Cow!
(And A Pg-13ish R-ish sort of Excerpt) Every so often I wonder if I’m not just dreaming. If I am, DO NOT pinch me.

Z.A. Maxfields Cyber Cafe
I’ve got to tell you, the last thing we need is a new Yahoo Group. And truly I believe in setting those individual profile settings to “Don’t bother me until the big asteroid is about to slam into the Earth’s surface.” And yet, since my ego knows no set boundaries, I’ve gone and created a … Continue reading »
