NEW BLOG POST: Real Moms – Kindergarten Cop Out

Something strange is happening with my four-year-old daughter, whom I affectionately call ‘The Divette’. (Keep reading – you’ll note very quickly why she has this name.) You see, she is in her final month of preschool and I think it’s beginning to freak her out a bit.  The Divette’s lead teacher recently upped the ante… Continue reading NEW BLOG POST: Real Moms – Kindergarten Cop Out

The Nevers: How I Navigate Feminism in Romance Writing

After self-publishing seven books, I feel as if my writing style is finally coming into its own.  I’m not without my doubts, like most writers, but I feel I have a handle on my voice. I’ve learned that I enjoy writing about flawed but fabulous women, specifically those in their late thirties/early forties rediscovering love… Continue reading The Nevers: How I Navigate Feminism in Romance Writing

Adore: My Childhood with Prince

The first thing I did was call my mother. Because when someone like Prince Rogers Nelson is even rumored to have died, the first person I think of is the woman that introduced me to his talent when I was still a fetus. I have no recollection of the 1978 Rick James concert my pregnant mother attended… Continue reading Adore: My Childhood with Prince

I Used To Loathe Her

I went to a family event this weekend and saw someone I lowkey used to hate: my former BFF. You see, many moons ago (read: the late Nineties), this chick & I met and became besties. Then we had a meaningless falling-out of which the details I cannot recall. It was almost ten years ago; […]

Which Social Network is Best for Authors?

Originally posted on Savvy Writers & e-Books online:
. . On Social Media you have an opportunity to talk with your readers, learn about, and empathize with your followers. However, there is not a single perfect Social Media network site for authors, rather a combination of several pages – each one with its pros and cons.…

The NaNo Diaries: Day Ten – Bumping Uglies

Word Count: 12,298/35,000 Sanity Level: 6 (The book’s coming along, I guess. Meh.) What I Love: Writing Nick.  I can’t help it; I love crafting his charming douchebaggery. What I Loathe: Trying (and failing) to build a dynamic between two of my characters. It is WAY too early in Camp NaNoWriMo for me to be all Paul Sheldon with […]
