Moxie has a plan; she’s determined to rule as queen after her father, King Smedley, dies.

But Smedley refuses to acknowledge her as his heir. Her uncle also wants the throne and he’s already tried once to eliminate Moxie as competition.

           Moxie recognizes she hasn't been trained to rule and she needs lessons about the real world. Moxie goes on a quest to learn how to rule and to learn about life outside the castle. 

Moxie faces unexpected obstacles as she struggles with adventures in a brutal reality that tests her mettle and determination. 

This is a fantasy coming-of-age story that is decidedly different than the usual ones. The book is filled with satire and humor. What more can a reader wish for? 

It takes place against the backdrop of Camelot, but this isn’t the Camelot of legends. It’s Camelot in a parallel universe where the Knights of the Round Table play football and Guinevere coaches the team’s cheer leaders. The wizard Merlin struggles to understand the Magic of the Mind using primitive ink stained diagrams and Stonehenge is a theater-in-the-round.   

Moxie’s rollicking adventures are the stuff of comedy. Enjoy!

Interview 

                        Does writing energize or exhaust you?  Both.  I love writing new stories and that energizes me, but writing non-fiction is more like work than fun.

                        Did you ever consider writing under a pseudonym?  Nope.  I have enough trouble getting name recognition for myself without having to double the effort by using an alias.

                        What other authors are you friends with, and how do they help you become a better writer?  I know a number of other authors.  Mostly they help by offering encouragement and by beta-reading my novels.  The job of a beta reader is punch holes in my story. This is the time-tested way of improving the story.

                        Do you want each book to stand on its own, or are you trying to build a body of work with connections between each book?  Each of my books is a stand alone work.  Most of them are parodies of classics such as Shakespeare’s plays or an opera by Wagner.  I love writing satire and each of my books skewers different targets.

                        How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?  Quite a few.  An editor convinced me to consider my first two novels as writing experiments.  Eventually, I came to realize they were really bad stories.  I have a number of unfinished stories, both shorts and novels.  The reason I abandoned them is because I got bored with writing them. How can I keep a reader interested in a story that bores me?  Can’t be done.

                        If you didn’t write, what would you do for work?  I really don’t have anything else I’d rather be doing.  I guess I’d have to watch day-time TV and that would be death sentence.
