Let’s talk about triggers. When I’m writing, I try not to think about anyone’s potential reactions to how I tell the story. I let the characters speak and try like hell to keep up. But inevitably, some scenes prove triggering for readers. I get lots of colorful comments, negative reviews, and occasionally the virtual middle …
What’s it really like to write a novel? And don’t give me a bullshit hallmark answer, tell me what it’s actually like to put something like that into the world. ~Hana Corison, Taos, NM. This question made me laugh, and we all know there’s no danger of a bullshit answer from me, so brace yourself, …
One of the reasons my books have sparked such love and loyalty in readers, according to them, is that I write as if anything is possible. And there’s a reason…because it is. Is your job so mind-numbingly boring it’s dragging you to an early grave? Make a plan, then fucking quit. Want to travel, but …

If you’ve read Windswept, my latest release with Bold Strokes Books that dropped October 1st, 2022….thank you! It seems a few of you had some burning questions, so I compiled a few and answered them accompanied by a cigar, a gorgeous amber glass of Islay, and my comfiest curmudgeon hoodie. Ready? Get in and buckle …
Ahhh…. the lure of polyamory, or, in my case, Ethical Non-Monogamy. The freedom to explore hidden sides of your sexuality with different partners, or just allow yourself to love (not using that as a verb) more than one person at a time. I’ve had very successful ENM relationships and successful monogamous relationships. I have ethics …
I’ve really missed keeping in touch with readers and talking about books, love, and life, so I’ve committed to a new blog post every Thursday in 2024. I’d love to know your questions, so don’t be shy, comment below or message me directly on Instagram at @tomboyinkslinger and I’ll answer them the following week. To …

Recently, I switched publishers, so while my first six novels will be available at BoldStrokesBooks.com com in the future, I currently have Return to McCall, Windswept, and Undercurrent available there now. Those three books are also available on Amazon, in Barnes&Noble, and my latest releases are always available at my publisher’s website, at WWW.BOLDSTROKESBOOKS.COM Looking …
