Raven Scavenger Hunt

The hunt is on!

Back in Town and Catching Up…

A girl leaves town for a bit, and so much happens!  Okay, I'm playing catch-up, so please be patient with me. 

First, I want to send out a HUGE thank you to all the wonderful Books-A-Million folks that I met on Monday and Tuesday. I had a fabulous time signing books and chatting with everyone.  Such a wonderful event!  Thank you!  I tell you, those BAM Managers sure do know how to make a girl feel incredibly welcome.

While I was away, two of my friends had new releases. What? I know...

Very, Very Sad News

I apologize for not posting sooner. I was out of town and am now back on track!

First, as many of you probably have already heard, the romance industry has recently lost one of its most influential members.  Kate Duffy, editor extraordinaire at Kensington Publishing, has passed away.  I admired Kate more than I can say, and I will miss her (as will so many).  Her family will be in my prayers.  On Sunday, Sue Grimshaw will post a memorial to Kate on the Borders True Romance blog.  Folks are...

Let's talk books!

I just finished reading a great book, Gena Showalter's THE DARKEST WHISPER.  I loved this book.  It was one of those stories that kept me up until 1 a.m. (Well, I don't usually get a chance to read until 10 p.m. and once I started, I didn't want to stop!).  I haven't read the other Lords of the Underworld books yet, but you can bet that as soon as I meet my writing goals, I will.

Now this makes me wonder…what other great books have I missed out on?  Sometimes I get so into the writing that I m...

The only pirate I like…

…is Jack Sparrow.

Okay, I'm having a bad morning, so I'm going to do something I don't normally do on my blog–rant.  You see, I woke up today to find out that more folks were stealing from me. Yep, stealing.

You see, when you post an author's book online illegally and allow 1400+ of your friends to all download their own copies of that book–you're stealing.  That's against the law.  Um, you know, the thing that if you break, you're supposed to be punished for?

You are NOT helping me by posting i...

A message to those who want to write…

Do you think you want to write a book?  If so, then this post is for you.  If you don't want to be a writer, feel free to ignore the words that follow.

If you are dipping your toes in the writing pool–just getting started on the path to your dream, I think there are a few things you should know:

1. You will get rejected.  VERY rarely do folks sell the first story they wrote to the first editor they submit said story to.  Instead, you'll find this writing road is bumpy. No, not everyone will...
