After six years of staying off the grid, emerging with a new novel and renewed sense of literary understanding is not the easiest.

I wrote Emerald Butterfly when I was twelve. And I stand by that singular reviewer who rated the book with one star. HE WAS RIGHT. I mean, let's be real, what twelve-y... Read more of this blog post »

I've seen some people refer to themselves as "closeted" m/m readers (slashers, pick your term), and I have some hesitations about the title, but at the same time I sort of understand it.

In full disclosure, I'm a straight cisgender female. I do not want to equate myself or my situation with those... Read more of this blog post »

Above the city
the serpentine river;
the bridges crossed,
with loves of mine.
Lights twinkle
in shadow-waters,
I feel the touch
of hands, entwined.
Lower still,
and all the people
swarm along the river’s path.
I remember
how one evening
your whisper echoed,
as if you laughed.
What would you make
of all the chang... Read more of this blog post »

Many of my readers have asked what inspired me to write “The Knowing.” It is almost impossible to give anyone one solid answer, as there are several contributors that inspired me to write specific plots or pushed me towards writing a jaw-dropping reveal.

Music, for example, played a h...

I think I'm kind of done here. My book sales are as strong as they've ever been, but I don't know that anybody on Goodreads has read one of my books in the last two months. It just doesn't seem worth my time anymore. If you're interested in getting more info on what's going on with my writing I'd... Read more of this blog post »

I started reading young and just didn't stop. I read fast. Faster than anyone else I know. I can sit down with a 500 page novel for breakfast and be done with it by dinner while still leading a fairly normal day.

Then about a year or so ago I did what I'd always told myself I wanted to do. I star... Read more of this blog post »

Dirty Lies is out! This is the first Prison Planet novella, and though I intended for it to be a short, fun, sexy romp through zone four, it actually wound up a lot longer than I expected.

In Dirty Lies, the warden's daughter gets stranded on the surface of Devil's Eye and falls for a convict who... Read more of this blog post »

Jolly is an interesting and unusual name for a dog. Where did you get the idea?

From an old woman living in Decatur, Alabama, back in the 1980s. I was a young sportswriter working for The Decatur Daily. I was working on a story about a group of women who went swimming every morning to stay in shap... Read more of this blog post »

The Cupid Caper by Larissa Reinhart

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Edgy and Action-Packed

Love the characters and the con! It's nearly impossible for Finley to "go straight" when her best friend is murdered and her partner (Lex) is so hard to resist. What is a girl to do? Figure out how to con the murdere... Read more of this blog post »

Life is a celebration and pageantry underscores it! Do you scorn parades, beauty contests, rituals of any kind? You might be fooling yourself!

Recapacitando sobre el fenómeno estúpido del año (que ya nada lo mueve de ahí), el "Cómeme el Dónut" ha llegado a darme cierta lección.

Usually when I'm having a hell of a time writing a chapter, I find that I'm following the wrong train of thought or forcing a character/plot point that doesn't belong or belongs elsewhere. Best solution? Scrap it and come at it from a different angle.
Then there are those chapters that are a real... Read more of this blog post »

We rose at 9:00 am (7:00 am according to our body clocks), showered and dressed, and headed out in the rain to the subway station three blocks over. Thankfully, we had thought ahead and brought umbrellas although, if we hadn’t, there is someone on every street corner selling them.

Writing a book is kind of like riding a bike. Because it's all about forward momentum, right? Keeping those words and ideas flowing. If you stop, you fall over. Bam!

My soul weighs heavy
On my shoulders.
The burden of the burdens
Wearied me wholly .
The demon awoke
The demon Is on my tail.
Never have I wronged
A man or a woman
So why is it that
My soul weighs heavy
On my shoulders.
Never have I been so lost
So frail, so impotent
So fragile, so fluent
In the language

It doesn't take generosity to be thankful for the hands that feed us.

It doesn't take courage to be grateful for the people who protect us.

It doesn't take intellect to appreciate the parents, educators and mentors who taught us.

All it takes is common consideration.
