When he answered the door wearing nothing but a pair of basketball shorts, hanging loosely from his waist, I lost my breath and nearly swallowed my tongue.

I knew he was ripped, but what the hell!? I never imagined that amount of muscle was possible on one person. As if that weren’t enough, the gu... Read more of this blog post »

Oozing sexy coolness in his leather, Thorny relaxes back in his seat behind Jazz on the motorcycle. Thorny’s gotten used to being back here and doesn’t panic when Jazz makes turns anymore.

Pot holes are another matter.

I am DONE.

I’m tired today. I’m not sure why.

Actually, there are reasons. I may have been going out a lot. Ahem. But I’ve also been writing nonstop, trying to finish the first draft of MAD ABOUT YOU, Laurel Heights #9. Then there are a lot of things happening here in Kateland: changes and new thin...

I said a couple of days ago on my Facebook page that I read all of your reviews, comments, and messages. And I do. I read every single last one of them. I read the ones that are nice, and I read the ones that aren't. I read the ones that say we want more.

When I started writing Gabby and Bradley,... Read more of this blog post »

10 TIPS FOR HANDLING PUBLIC PRESURE AND ONLINE VITRIOL WITHOUT LOSING IT
By: Andrew Jack
There seems to be a spate of authors losing their collective minds of late and making very public responses to people. Almost always these authors are coming off as petty, spiteful and occasionally even psyc... Read more of this blog post »

I wonder how many of you (who are writers) approach your writing with your readers in mind, in the sense that you are fashioning a product for that consumer. Personally, that doesn’t work for me, but I imagine it does for many. When I read some of the reviews my stories have received online, I […... Read more of this blog post »

I dated a guy in a wheelchair. Yeah. I don't need any awards, not really. Plus, it was just one date. And I was hell-bent on making it a wonderful time for the guy. His legs didn't worked, but at least he had me. Part-way through the appetizer I decided I'd marry the guy.

As many of you know, my buddy David Rakoff, one of the funniest and most brilliant writers ever, died this past August after a long battle with cancer.

It’s that time of year again. The time when the young writer makes the rounds on the internet, hat in hand, asking for brief berths on websites, submitting reading copies to reviewers, and generally trying to build a promotional blitzkrieg to surround their new release.

This week I have started to write my third novel. It is great to get back to writing! I struggle a bit with the publicity and marketing, but I am making progress.

I was reading about Rasputin today and today’s story is about him but it’s inspired by him and parts of it are just stolen from his life, or from the myth of his life.

This weekend, for some bizarre reason, I decided to purchase a Kindle copy of Orestes: The Young Lion to see exactly what readers see when they have the whole book ahead of them.

Fifteen published reviews, and all five-star ones.

It took a year to research it, and six months to write it. It is based on a true story, under the shadow of WWII planes and '40s Mafia.

I'd love you to review it too. Goodreads is the best community for some sound feedback.
