Demon Fashionista

“Food, shower, bed,” Maggie muttered, stumbling into the kitchen. She lifted an arm and sniffed. “Shower, food, bed.”

She made it as far as the table before collapsing on a chair and resting her head on the smooth surface.

“Uh babe, no offense, but you reek like a long dead troll.” Declan’s hand rested lightly on her head then retreated.

“More like a chupacabra with enhanced magick,” she mumbled into her crossed arms. “Bad. Very bad. When we destroyed him his blood and guts went everywhere. Na...

Summer Recipes

Summer's here! Lots of hot weather and days where it seems appropriate to curl up with a good book, a cold drink, and have the A/C on or if nice enough sit outside.

Sadly, I'm usually stuck inside writing. But also have had a lot of house things going on. Amazing how annoying real life can be at times! And why I still want minions.

I thought I'd share a couple of my favorite summer recipes with you. Pink Lemonade Pie ended up a hit from the first time I made it. The owner of a local rest...

A Man With Doubts Japanese Comic Book

[image error]


[image error]




A Japanese publisher contracted four of my backlist books to be turned into cell phone downloads and comic books. The first one was released in January and I just received copies!



A Man with Doubts was my first Silhouette Special Edition published in 1982. I loved the original cover so much I purchased the original artwork.

Since I now own the rights to the book I will have it available as an ebook soon.

I just wanted to share this with you.

Here's the cover and I also scanned two of the...

Searching for that Pot 'O Gold

[image error]




"Be vewy vewy quiet, we'we hunting lepwechauns," Horace intoned, creeping along the lush grass covered path. He ignored the birds perched in the trees overhead, although he did growl when bird poo plopped on his head.

"Dude, you have got to stop watching cartoons," Puff muttered, nudging him with his ear.

"Those cartoons are classics," the gargoyle informed him, looking at the paths branching off. "We need to go left."

"We go right," Fluff argued.

"Hello!" Puff rolled his eyes. "We stay on this...

Blast to the Past -- Midnight Lady

[image error]

Midnight Lady was my second Loveswept Romance published in 1994.

I'm a big fan of the classic horror and sci-fi films. I would have been one of those pesky fans who'd want to spend time with Boris Karloff and Vincent Price hoping they'd share stories from their careers.

Since that wasn't possible, I did the next best thing. I created a film studio that produced classy horror films owned by a once famous horror actor who had a bit of Karloff, Price, Lugosi, and even Lorre in him.

Since Baron...

Blast to the Past -- O'Hara Vs Wilder

[image error]

With so many of backlist books out there as ebooks, I thought I'd start talking about them.

I wrote three books for the Loveswept line and O'Hara Vs Wilder was one of my favorites.

I wanted to write a sassy suspense with a hint of humor in it. Scruffy FBI agent Jake Wilder was my idea of the right type of hero for small town sheriff, Tess O'Hara, who'd once been his partner and one night stand until she took off for the hills. Or in this case, the small desert town of Crater Rock.

Pet Peeves -- I Haz Dem

[image error]
















I'm sure we all have pet peeves. Little ones, medium size ones and the ultra big ones that make us scream.

Yesterday I saw a few of mine that had me ready to scream at more than a few people.

So I thought I'd take the safer route and talk about them.

Not just list some of my pet peeves but also how I deal with some of them.

Peeve -- A big one has to do with people who talk during a movie. Have your conversation before and after, not during! One, it's downright rude. Two, it's more than annoying...

The Merge of Truth and Fiction

There are times when the phrase 'truth is stranger than fiction' comes in handy.

There's something true in each of my books. Not historical fact. I'm talking something that's either happened to myself or to a friend. I always changed the names to protect the guilty. Plus throwing in things that interest me and I always hope they'll pique my readers' interest too.

Naturally, some stand out in my mind more than others, so I thought I'd mention the ones that do along with books that had my...
