RWA Pics
I am having a great time at RWA–meeting lots of new friends, catching up with old friends, and getting a romance writing buzz!
The publisher spotlights will start tomorrow (and I'll be sure to share the details I learn), but for today, I thought I'd share some pics:
Beth Williamson, me, and Anya Bast–love those ladies! Awesome writers and just fun folks. 
Next up…my date for last night. The lovely Ann Aguirre (who is a fantastic author and one very skilled dancer–I'll show that video...

Release Day! Deadly Fear is here!
I am so happy to announce that today is the release day of DEADLY FEAR!
TWO BRILLIANT AGENTS
FBI Special Agent Monica Davenport has made a career out of profiling serial killers. But getting inside the twisted minds of the cruel and the sadistic has taken its toll: She's walled herself off from the world. Yet Monica can't ignore fellow agent Luke Dante, the only man who ever broke through her defenses.
ONE DREAM TEAM
Luke has the unique ability to put victims at ease…professionally, he and...

I am doing last minute packing today because come 9 a.m. tomorrow, I'll be hitting the road and driving down to Orlando for the Romance Writer's of America Annual Conference. If you'll be at the conference, please find me and say hello!

More Paranormals with Kensington Brava!
I'm happy to say that I was recently offered a contract to write three more paranormal romances with Kensington Brava. I absolutely adore my editor, Megan Records, and I am looking forward to creating more stories with her!
And, yes, I already have plans for these stories. I believe I've mentioned the Fallen Angel of Death story that I wrote a few months back. Well, I will be continuing my Fallen Angel tales. These angel stories are based in New Orleans (one of my favorite cities). The...

Nashville Heat
First I want to thank Cynthia for the opportunity to participate in her Deadly Days of Summer and tell you about my upcoming August 6th release, LOVE ME IF YOU CAN. It's amazing the small things which can start the creative juices flowing. Several years ago I was watching Extreme Home Makeover, on ABC when one of the featured families was a blended family of siblings. The parents had passed away—I've forgotten the details—and the older siblings abandoned whatever plans they had, got jobs and...

A Town of Intrigue
For as far back as I can remember I've always been fascinated with towns, places, communities and what makes a family. I enjoy watching the interactions of those around me. I'm curious about all that makes towns, places or communities come together. Work, play or just become. So to those who know me or read my books it comes as no surprise that I love to create towns, places and communities. People who are families – some not by blood but by choice or circumstances. Communities that are...

Let's Talk Killers…
Okay, so today, I wanted to talk about a curious phenomenon…
I"m a Dexter fan. I thought the first season was awesome. I loved the idea of the series (it was similar to a plot in my old Idea File–I'd wanted to write a story about a serial killer who only killed other serial killers–cause it was more fun that way, but, whoops, I'm sliding off topic…).
Dexter is dark. He kills. He dismembers. He lies. He frames. He does any number of incredibly un-heroic things. He's not the hero.
Um, is he?
Th...
