Snippet Saturday – They Call It The Blues Breakup
Breakups suck. We all know this. They are painful. They are difficult. They are binge-worthy.

Snippet Saturday – Author’s Choice
I love author’s choice. It’s my favorite topic. I can choose whatever I like, from any book. I can do that any Saturday, but not all books fit all topics. Today, my choice is a snippet from my upcoming release Keep It Together… I really am in love with this book, these characters, and I’m [...]

Jobs. We all have them. Some of us would like different ones, some of us would like a day off from the ones we have, some of us covet other jobs, some of us even probably wish we didn’t have to have a job. There are some of us who have jobs we love and [...]

Snippet Saturday – I Need A Hero
Need. That’s a pretty strong word. We often say Need when we really mean Want. Need implies something we can’t live without. Food. Shelter. Air. So to say I Need A Hero, well… I think we mostly WANT a hero. I know I do. I want one. I don’t need one. I was raised not [...]

Snippet Saturday – Holding Out For A Heroine

Holding out… Waiting… Imagine our hot, hunky heros waiting for that one woman, that one soulmate. Many of us write that way, there’s only one man for that one particular woman (or two [...]

Devon Ellington: Commitment
Characters who engage us strongly, whether we agree with them or not, share a characteristic — commitment. The commitment might be to a cause (saving the world/ruling the world), a person (protecting a loved one/destroying the family of someone who’s wronged them), a job (an assassin, an agent, etc.). But they have a purpose, and [...]
