Betrayed Alternate-Ending, and Blue, but we were taking it in a
different direction than where it is going today. Let me explain why this novel
is taking us so very long to finish.
You see, there’s
something about our main character that tends to make us want to ignore... Continue reading ...

Q & A With Toby Neal, Author of Blood Orchids
Posted by Wodke Hawkinson on Tuesday, February 21, 2012,
 Toby Neal Congrats on your upcoming debut novel - tell us about it! Toby:
I’m from Hawaii and I’ve always wanted to read a really good
suspense/romance set here, that showcases the unique setting, culture,
multiethnic people and dialects, and yet keeps your attention via
riveting story alone. I’ve never found one that really did that—Hawaii
novels are often written by outsiders, or are too “niche” to appeal to a
mainstream audience. I finally decided to write the kind of book(... Continue reading ...

The coolest review I've
received to date for any of my books, delivered a mere two out of five stars… from an author, no less! Bar-none, it's

An interview with Mandi Casey's character, Sydney Sedrick:
Interviewer: In a nutshell, how would you describe yourself?

to help my Aunt Judith with her store, Morning Sun. Since then, my life
has been turned upside down.
Interviewer: What makes you say that?
Sydney: A few nights ago, I was attacked by a werewolf and he bit me in

Writing Rape
Posted by Wodke Hawkinson on Thursday, September 1, 2011,
By K. Wodke
Every survivor of rape experiences the trauma in her (or
his) own unique way. Some common after-effects include fear, anger, guilt, shame,
loss of trust, anxiety, insomnia, and even denial. Because of the element of
shame associated with rape, many victims are reluctant to report the crime and
/or seek the help they need.
Like child molestation, rape is an abhorrent and aberrant
