What’s in a Name? Part II: Disney World and a Demon

What’s in a Name? Part I: The Real Betty and Daisy
If you have ever written a piece of fiction, then you can probably relate to what I’m about to say: naming characters is one of the most difficult parts of the writing process.

After a few chapters, I realized that I was writing in Bradbury’s voice …
I’ll Miss You, Maxwell
On Tuesday I finished the manuscript for Ghost of a Hope, the fourth and final book in my Betty Boo, Ghost Hunter Series. I knew I was close to the end, and I was so inspired to finally see how things would wrap up that I banged out almost as many words as I typically …

My Characters are Coming to Life!
Every now and then there is a strange blurring of the lines between fiction and reality. That happened to me recently with the news that there is a new restaurant opening in Savannah called Maxwell’s. Those of you who have read any of the Betty Boo, Ghost Hunter books know that Maxwell is the name …
