When my first book came out, I did a round of signings and appearances. It was all very exciting and I had a lot of fun. Meeting and talking to readers, I soon learned, is easy. I love to read so we automatically have something in common.
One evening I …
I just finished reading an advance copy of SUN, SAND, SEX, a Brava anthology with Linda Lael Miller, myself and Shelly Laurenston that will be out in June. Wow! Three very different stories! What is really awesome is that I haven’t read Shelly Laurenston before and now I’m hooked! I …
Hi All,
I’m sorry I’m late getting this up today. I have a good excuse. I was working on my galleys. For those of you who haven’t heard of the term–I never had until I got published–this is the last proof of the manuscript before it heads to print.

If you read my daily blog, you know it’s been one of those weeks. A sick kid, a broken washing machine, and a blank screen, and no junk food in the house anywhere (because I’ve consumed it all, damn it). There were some positive events. I’ve …
I was minding my own business…
Okay that’s not true. If I was minding my own business, I wouldn’t be able to write Luke and Ivy’s story. I’m very deep into THEIR business.
So I was minding Luke and Ivy’s business when Ivy’s mom, Mallory, started whining and being generally difficult. Which …
In my house, it’s BOB’s fault. Bob is Book On the Brain. Due to an endless string of stuff happening, I’m up against my deadline and now having to live this book to finish it. The Book has taken Over my Brain.
