Snippet Saturday – Say Anything

I know I know! I’m late again. I spent the morning working on proofs and the afternoon at Charlotte Motorspeedway at the Nascar Nationwide Race. It was hot but it was great fun. And because today is Author’s Choice, I’m going to choose something different and new that I’ve been working on and am close [...]

Snippet Saturday – Why Can’t We Be Friends

So sorry I’m late with the post. It’s race day here in Charlotte and it was baseball before 9am this morning. I think I’m still trying to wake up. It’s been a very long and tough week here in our household and I’m looking forward to a little relaxed with a hundred thousand or so [...]

Hop Against Homophobia

I am a new author to M/M, however I am not a new reader of it. I have to thank Erica for inviting me to participate in the hop. I agreed readily enough because the outright meanness, harsh unkindness, anger, slander, bullying, hypocrisy, and discrimination against gay, lesbian, and transgender person is appalling. It shouldn’t [...]

Snippet Saturday – For Shame

Ever had one of those ‘oh my bad’ moments? Yes of course you have. WE have ALL had one of those moments. A lot of us have had more than one of those moments. But that’s what the snippet is about today… One of those moments. My for shame moment, oops my bad moment is [...]

Author Friday

Rejection sucks. No matter the reason, it sucks. Professional rejection? Personal rejection? It all sucks. But, it’s all in what you do with the rejection that teaches you. We’re all allowed pity parties, tantrums, crying fits, wine, chocolate, the biggest most unhealthy bacon cheeseburger with a side of fries we can handle and… Oh, is [...]

In The Kitchen With…Coffee Creamers

Coffee. I love coffee. We all know that. I also like my coffee sweet. I’ve tried it black, straight, strong, weak, medium, fresh ground, pre-ground, cheap, and not so much… No matter what the brand, the price… I don’t like straight black coffee. When I started drinking coffee, I started out on the sweet kind [...]

Favorites – Writing Life Blogs

I follow a lot of blogs. Probably not as many as some and probably more than others. I follow 83 blogs. Not every one has a post every day which is good cause I wouldn’t be able to keep up if they did. Some are review blogs, but not many, and not for the reviews [...]
