I am a big fan of the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra, and to hear and watch them play during one of my all time favorite movies from childhood was sensational! ​ I find the RI Philharmonic to be incredibly inspirational, and creatively stimulating.  Any time I have the opportunity to see and hear the RI Philharmonic play is truly a joy.  There is something deeply moving about hearing classical music played live.  

The new book I'm currently writing, the third and final installment of The 13th Apostle trilogy series, is a dramatic conclusion, but a tricky story to tell, as it's set in hell.  I had to create a unique nether world that no one has ever seen or read about before - and I've done it.  Reading what I've written so far, I feel that readers will be drawn right into this story, just as they were in the first two books.  While writing this installment, it was critical to me that the story, the characters (the old ones, and some new ones), and the scenes, are every bit as compelling as they were in the first two books.  From book 1, to this one, I want my readers' emotions to soar, without interruption.  Anything short of that, and I've sacrificed the story, as well as my own talent.  This book is living up to everything it was always meant to be.

In Divine Providence, Fallon, who intentionally condemned her soul to hell, is on a never-before-attempted mission to try to save the soul of her twin brother Roarke.  Knowing full-well there is no record of any life force ever successfully freeing itself from the Place of the Damned, Fallon has no idea what to expect, as she is deposited in the afterlife location the living consider a place of torment and shame.  But one thing is for sure, Fallon has no intention of giving up until she's found a way.

So far, I have 274 pages written, with maybe another 100-150 pages to go.  My goal is to complete this work by the end of 2019, and I'm well on my way.

Every writer/author has his or her own way of inspiring themselves.  One of the things I like to do, is print out a hard copy of what I've written so far, so I can see/measure my progress.  There's something satisfying about seeing hundreds of pages stacked, knowing how much I've accomplished....  and am well on my way to completing the work.  While this will not be the book cover, it represents a scene in one of the chapters of BOOK III of, The 13th Apostle trilogy series, that touches me deeply.  Writing a novel takes intense concentration, emotional and spiritual inspiration, and prolonged commitment.  It's the little things like this, or a stirring piece of classical music, a profound photo evoking feelings of love or despair, or even a meaningful life experience that keeps me at my keyboard, typing.  If all goes well, I hope to have this final installment of my trilogy series to readers by the end of 2019.    

When I'm finished writing this book, I plan to move on to my next writing project, which will either be a sequel to, The Vampire (for which every reader has been requesting with great enthusiasm), or a UFO/alien novel, for which I've already written an outline.

There's no better way to spend a cold, snowy, January Sunday morning, afternoon and evening, then writing.  Days like today are perfect for any writer, and I think my author friends will agree.  Dressed in warm, comfy clothes, with the fireplace lit, and your computer on your lap, is a great way to spend a stormy weather day.  For me, there's no better feeling, than knowing I've produced some profound creative work, that my readers will eventually come to enjoy.  I am making my way through the final installment of my trilogy series, slowly but surely.  Hitting the 254 page mark today, is a great feeling of accomplishment, but there's still more to go.  I am eager to complete this book, so I can move on to my next book, which will either be a sequel to The Vampire, or a UFO/alien book, for which I've already written an outline.  Either way, I will be exhilarated to complete my trilogy series, which I've been working on for over 12 years.   

Join me on Wednesday, April 3, 2019 from 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. at the University Club (219 Benefit Street, Providence, RI 02903) for a book signing for, The Vampire.  Members and guests of members are welcome for cocktails at 5:30 p.m. followed by a talk and discussion about my novel.  Books will be available for sale ($25.00/copy) and I will gladly sign each copy and speak directly with readers.    

​I'm sure my author and writer friends will agree...  there's no better way to start the first day of 2019, than by writing something you're truly passionate about.

For me, that's penning BOOK III of The 13th Apostle trilogy series.  

I am eager to complete this final installment, which has been in the making for quite a long time.  It's half done, and coming along beautifully, as I've already laid the groundwork, before writing, The Vampire.  

This novel will be the conclusion everyone has been waiting for.  Set in a never-before-seen realm, readers will be taken on a journey of the mind, body and soul.  

One of my goals for 2019 is to complete this work...  thank you to all my loyal readers and fans of The 13th Apostle trilogy series, as well as, The Vampire, who have brought me so much joy by sharing your thoughts and feelings about my work.
