Stephen King
As I work on the craft of novel writing, I find myself following the advice quoted above.
While an author may write in isolation, it is very helpful to have other authors to talk with,
to get advice from, and to be each other's cheerleaders.
A writer may be on an island, but there are many other islands near by.
Many within yelling distance!
I have been fortunate enough to learn from the following wonderful authors.
Kevin's first book, a nonfiction memoir, is available as of April 15, 2026. One Life One Perspective is delivers readers with a riveting true story of the human will to survive. Kevin takes us back to when he was a young child and learns one late night in a southern Maine hospital that he has childhood leukemia. The rollercoaster of events and experiences that come to pass for Kevin divert him along paths in life that he never could have imagined. Kevin writes vivid descriptions of what it was like battling childhood leukemia, not once but twice, and how it has shaped his outlook in life ever since those early formative years for him. This memoir intertwines tragedy and spirit with kindheartedness and perseverance. One Life One Perspective is the nonfictional telling of one young boy's journey in discovering what really matters most in life.

Claire is the author of many romance and urban fantasy novels. She also served as the developmental editor of my novel. Shown are the two novels of hers that I have read so far.


Amber is the author of the Emari Chronicles series. I have read both books. Very well done!


Alessandre Torre has published many romance novels, including bestsellers. She also writes suspense novels under the name A. R. Torre.
Alessandre also co-founded Inkers Con. I participated in the 2024 Inkers Con Boot Camp. It was very educational and valuable to me as an author entering the world of publishing. Highly recommended!
Steven served as the copyeditor for my first novel Forestton. His company, Condor Publishing in the UK, also did the cover for the novel. He has published many novels in the Horam Kane series and the Alexandria Ridlaey series plus a number of others books.
