First author blog is up on our GLVWG blog site.  Our own Dianna Sinovic asks the question, "Where do you find inspiration" for stories.

Let’s face it, many of us go ape-shit when cell signal is lost, bang keyboards when the internet goes down. Adolescents enter that special cranky state when cable or satellite goes blank with, “no signal available,” and how does anyone make it through the day without texting?

I am excited to have won another award from Reader Views, this time for my fantasy novella Worthy of Prometheus.  My previous award from Reader Views was Honorable Mention for my book It All Started with a Bicycle in the middle grade category.  This time, although I entered for fantasy, I won in the eBook category.  (I didn't even know they had one!)  It's better than nothing!

Hi everyone!

Proud to have another feature article published in the May issue of Lehigh Valley Style magazine, in print and http://www.lehighvalleystyle.com/May-2015/Home-is-Where-the-Art-Is/

Check it out--interesting story about an art-filled home and the people who live in it.

Happy Writing!

I had a blast at The Write Stuff this year--my editing partner Tina Gallagher and I critiqued some pitches Friday evening (even over drinks at the Friday night cocktail party!) and presented Marketing for Introverts and Extroverts Saturday morning. Enjoyed meeting and talking with everyone!

And I have an article in the gorgeous April issue of Lehigh Valley Style magazine! Seize the Day: Manayunk is about a day trip to that cool little town. Stay tuned, I wrote an article on a unique LV home and the art within--slated for the May issue of LVS.  

Happy writing to all! 

My latest novel in my Victorian Mansion series, "The Backstage Murders", is now available.  Find links on my website http://www.pimabooks.com/ and click on the Victorian Mansion Series.

Can artificial intelligence ever achieve the emotional rollercoaster that defines who we are as humans?

I muse in honor of Hallmark's invented holiday of the year.
