Snippet Saturday – Friends
Friends. They are a valuable part of our lives. Some are here for the long haul, some for only short bursts. Some are good friends. Some are not. Some we think are true, yet there are those in all our lives who prove false. I think we all are different people to the different friends [...]

Snippet Saturday – Settings As A Character
Welcome to another edition of Snippet Saturday. Our topic today is Settings as a Character, where places are part of the scene. I am a very big character person, the human character, but if the author can create a setting where you feel as though you are there in the midst of the room, the [...]

Snippet Saturday – Fears
Fears. We all have them. Internal fears. Emotional. Physical. We all say we're scared of this or that and it rarely is about anything that isn't internal or emotional. We're scared we'll lose someone's respect, or a job, or a lover, or a family member. Maybe what we're really scared of is how we're going [...]

Guest Post: Kate Davies
This holiday season, I got a Christmas card from a friend in England. It was handmade, with a cartoon drawing of two characters from a TV show we both used to watch (and was the reason we first "met"online). While the show was running, she created a series of cartoons based on the characters that [...]

Snippet Saturday – Endings
Endings. Truth be told, I can't wait for this year to be over. Or maybe just this month. It's not turned out at all how I had hoped the Christmas/New Year season would be. However, that being said, with any ending, there is always a new beginning. And sometimes both at the same time… Enter, [...]

Snippet Saturday – Beginnings
The beginning of a relationship is exciting. It's scary as hell too. There are all sorts of emotions running through your head and sometimes you even second guess everything that is said or done by either of you. It's no different in a romance novel. The hero and heroine go through the same things, the [...]

Author Moments II – Authors Helping Harry
Harry Moseley, the boy who raised over £500,000 for Cancer Research UK, is no longer with us – but his legacy lives on. "Britain's Kindest Kid", Harry was more than a nice kid with a big heart; he was a real life hero. A hero with an inoperable brain tumor who tragically lost his battle [...]
