*cranes neck* Did anyone see where February went? It seems to have blown through and left a bit of a mess behind. Ah well, time to get things back in order. First, I want to give a big “THANK YOU” to all who helped LINKED BY DECEPTION have a great release. I really hope you […]

Every year I try to sketch out the game plan for upcoming releases and writing schedules. This year is no different, and as a believer in the mantra that if you write it down, you’ll actually accomplish it, below is my attack plan for 2020. Fair warning, it’s debatable if I’ll emerge in 2021 sane […]

As a writer, you often get asked, “What is the one piece of advice you would offer new writers?” The answer to this could be a very, very long list, and some of those answers are shared by many of us—write what you love, just write, write for yourself. All of which are spot on, […]

If you’re a writer and/or a reader, you may have heard some furious rumblings about a dastardly disturbance the Writer-Force lately. It involved a supposedly well-known (I say supposedly because I never heard of her until she up-ended the proverbial apple cart) romance author who dared to pass off other writers’ works as her own.

Just looking around my group of lovelies, I have one awesome writer who takes great joy in showing off her beautiful Saluki darlings, another loves creating culinary delights (and then quality testing them), still another finds solace in sketching images, another indulges in discovering new places and people, […]
Continue readingFor those who’ve read my books you’ll probably notice I’m a character driven writer. (According to my critique partners, I’m also the queen of sub-plots, but that’s another post.) About 99.9% of the time when I’m playing around with a new story idea, I’m starting with a character, not the world or the plot, but […]
Continue readingIn the wonderfully creative world of writers we are flooded with posts on writing tips, marketing strategies, balancing life with creativity, and nailing those word counts. The amount of positive encouragement is huge, and I’ve always loved the fact that this exists in the writing community. Our ability as writers to constantly offer that nudge […]
Continue readingAwww, it’s the month of heart and flowers! You’d think since I write romance, I’d be all about Cupid and his arrows, but nope, not really. Actually, I think I’m a big humbug on many of the holidays, probably because while sitting and muttering to myself I tend to lose track of time. But back […]
