Start Spreadin' the News…
I'm not quite "leaving" today…just doing some preliminary packing before I head off to New York City for Bright Lights, Big Stories, the RWA National Convention. I'm excited about this trip. For one, I've never been to New York, so that will be an adventure in itself. The second reason is that three years ago, [...]

Cover Art Christmas
It's been ages (okay, just six months, but still…) since I've gotten new cover art. I have to say that this one was well worth waiting for! I'm tickled 'blue'! Then, to celebrate, I put together a book trailer to showcase my pretty shiny cover. Suitably spooky? I hope so… Now, go read the book. [...]

Perhaps it was a Freudian slip that I sent my mother home from her two-week visit the day before Mother's Day. I apologized, but as I got up this morning to hugs and kisses from my children and a leisurely day stretching ahead of me, I realize that it might not have been as unconscious [...]

I Gave Up Buying Books for Lent
Yep, you heard me right. Believe me, it wasn't an easy decision. I'm addicted to books…reading them, writing them, owning them. If it wasn't for the "pitching" gene I inherited from my mom, I would be in danger of showing up on an episode of Hoarders. Luckily, my local library takes donations and I have [...]

What's Not a Ghost – The Basics
I've just received page proofs for my upcoming release, Wild Ghost Chase. Two reality-show ghost-busting teams versus one haunted house – the first team to successfully exorcise the spirits wins the renewal of their television contract. It sounds like a pretty straight-forward competition, but something or someone at Harrington House has another agenda. Siblings Monica [...]

The Power of a Deadline
When I left the rat race of technical editing and writing to stay at home with my kids for a few years, I honestly thought the only thing I missed were the people. I'd had enough of office politics and stress to last a lifetime. Or so I thought. Last year, I wrote almost every [...]
