No writer is an island onto himself or herself, present company included. The following were invaluable resources to me in preparing The Literary Six for readers:

Marilyn Weishaar is a delightful, funny, and astute professional editor who can expertly trim the excess from the wordiest manuscript. She was instrumental in helping to polish my diamond in the rough.

The website design firm of Designs After Dark did a spectacular job of getting The Literary Six out onto the web. With professionalism, creative genius, and a heaping helping of Texan charm, Debra Moores, Tara Green, and their team brought my vision to dazzling life.

The talented artist Holly Smith designed an incredible book cover that truly captured the setting of The Literary Six. Another talented artist who contributed some artwork for the website is Samantha Wall from England.

Tony Lopez is a talented photographer who has a great eye and can make anyone look good. I've had the pleasure of working with Tony on several projects in the long-term care field, so asking him to photograph me for the website and author photo was a no-brainer. If artistic vision, patience, and a warm, friendly attitude are what you're looking for in a photographer, Tony Lopez is your guy!

Authors After Dark is an online community for readers and writers of mystery, suspense, and horror fiction. The website is chock full of news, reviews, and author profiles for fans of these genres.

One of my favorite freelance writing gigs has been as a contributing editor with Autograph Collector Magazine, a national specialty-niche publication for enthusiasts of the titular hobby. Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Steve Cyrkin and Managing Editor Cherise Asato do an incredible job every month putting out a quality magazine.

The JRose Studio offers California-based acting classes and private coaching for aspiring thespians and is facilitated by the talented actress Jamie Rose (Falcon Crest, St. Elsewhere). I had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with this delightful actress on an interview for AC. Bit of trivia: Jamie was the inspiration for the character of Taylor in The Literary Six!

Actor and supermodel Michael Bergin is truly one of the most down-to-earth and genuinely funny guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of interviewing. Check out his official website for more information about the career of this talented actor and his exclusive new line of men’s underwear inspired by his days as a Calvin Klein model. I’m hoping that if The Literary Six ever gets made into a film that I can convince Michael to play the character of Sean!

Musical Artists...

Besides writing and collecting autographs, one of my passions is music – especially female vocalists. Some of my favorite (and sorely underrated) female singers include British songbirds Alison Moyet and Lisa Stansfield , the original Power of Love vocalist Jennifer Rush, and two former band frontwomen who’ve branched out on their own – Martha Davis of The Motels and Maria McKee of Lone Justice.

Not to leave the guys out, check out Casey Stratton – one of my favorite most-deserving-to-make-it-big male vocalists. If you haven’t heard of this talented singer, songwriter, and musician, then your ears are missing a real treat!

Writers...

People are always asking me who my own favorite writers are. Well, among my eclectic list of favorite horror, suspense, and gay lit scribes are the talented Christopher Rice, Douglas Clegg, Jack Ketchum, Dave Benbow, Bentley Little, Michael Thomas Ford, Michael Rowe, Mark Edward Hall ,the late Richard Laymon, Steve Gerlach, and the incomparable Michael Cunningham and Armistead Maupin.
