I write novels, poetry, music and lyrics, and non-fiction. I love writing. I've been writing in some form or another since around the age of ten. I'm particularly fond of the novel. I love the process, and the opportunity to create a fictional tale from nothing but what's knocking around in my head.
My first novel began as a short story I started while living in England in the mid-1970s. It then became a screenplay which I finished in 1978. It took another 16 or so years before I managed to finish my first book which was so large I had to ultimately split it into two. The finished novel hardly resembled the short story, but it's where I began.
I've written four non-fiction books that are now out of print, five novels, and am at work on two others. With each book I like to stretch myself, to see if I can tell a story in a different way.
I love the idea of the series. I become so attached to my characters, I don't want to lose them when each book is finished; so, I let them live on in a series.
My influences began with Victoria Holt whose books I devoured as a youngster. Then, Anne Rice, Tom Clancy, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Jane Rule, and Armistead Maupin. Yes, an incompatible group, but I like to think of them as my teachers. I would be remiss if I didn't mention my favorite book of all time which is House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier. I read it in high school (and I still have it), and I believe, still, to this day, it continues to fuel my creative aspirations.
In addition to writing novels, I now produce a weekly podcast, The Djuna Shellam Podcast, which is available at nearly every podcast venue.

The Em Suite
|
Much beloved and fan favorite Dot Baverstock is back in this fourth installment of The Em Suite—but not in a way you'd ever expect.
Dot and her son Waverly have a deep, dark secret they've been keeping for years. When Dot suffers a traumatic fall, they make a difficult and daring decision to expose themselves to their extended family.
Waverly has orders to report for Air National Guard duty which would leave Dot, seriously injured, on her own or in the care of strangers. Em and Eve, with their son Liam, rush out to the Palm Springs desert to the rescue. Along for the ride is Prairie Fire Vaughn.
But, there's something else...
Dot and Waverly's secret is the "Big Mystery," and the true reason the family is needed and is revealed soon after their arrival. It appears far more will be needed from them than expected, while also putting them in peril. There's no question. They love Dot. They'll do anything for her—even if it means breaking the law or risking their lives.
Love, tragedy, humor, heartbreak; adventure, mystery, and danger all deliciously intertwine in this fun, yet heart-tugging installment of The Em Suite. Though Dot in the Weeds is part of a series, it is also a story that firmly stands on its own.
