Convince Me I Need A Keurig!

If you have one and love it, convince me that I need one. Y'all know I'm a coffee whore. It's a plain and simple fact. I am told more often than not in this online community when people think of me they think of three things … Coffee, cupcakes, and Vinter. It's more than just [...]

Guess What, Y'all?

Yesterday, Bethany, my editor with Samhain Publishing, offered yours truly a contract for Cowboy Justin, his girl Ella, and their book, Twisted Up. The earliest the book will come out is December, thought it may even be January. I'll let y'all know when I know. I have also turned in the partial of Forever in [...]

My Porn List

According to the World English Dictionary as cited on Dictionary.com, Porn, also called: Porno, publications or broadcasts that demonstrate an unhealthy or voyeuristic interest in a particular subject. Well, okay. Unhealthy, I don't know about that, but I'm sure there are cases to prove it. Voyeuristic, oh hell yes. When the word porn is brought [...]

I want to write…

… a story with a heroine based on this picture… I am just completely inspired and fascinated by the swirls of color. Of course, I'm completely inspired and fascinated by this image too… I have a thing for the jeans and barefoot look… sexy and casual and comforting even. Anyway, just thought I'd share… Off [...]

I'm Still Here…

I'm still here. I promise. I pinched a nerve in my lower back a few days ago and well… PAIN. To sit, to walk, to stand, to pretty much move at all. PAIN. Add in PMS and I'm just a barrel of fun! I was just starting to get back to my writing after the [...]

A Moment to Catch Up

It's been a long couple of weeks. My mom has been here. We've gone to the races. We've had a lot of heart to heart talks. I've written only about 400 words. I still haven't heard from my editor, but I have sent her an email, just inquiring. I'm an anxious as the rest of [...]

I Met Kyle Busch!

(this was the image that was the first inspiration for Cam Carter in Stick Shift…cocky, self assured, a little wicked and devilish) Yes I did! He was doing a signing at Walmart, organized by NOS Energy Drinks. The store is down the street from me and well, hell, y'all KNOW I'm not gonna pass up [...]

It's Race Day in Charlotte and You KNOW What That Means!

Yep! It means yours truly is headed to Charlotte Motor Speedway for some racin'! My boy Kyle won the truck race last night. I wasn't there cause it was my daughter's 17th birthday. But, it's all good. I will be at tonight's race, sitting on the front stretch between the exit of pit road and [...]

Teasin' Ya Tuesday

So, one of my readers, Lynda, emailed me and asked if I was no longer doing Snippet Saturday. Well, for the month of May, I'm not. Most of you that have been with me for a while know how utterly busy May is for me. You know my mother comes to visit for two weeks [...]

Snippet Saturday – Talk Me Down

I have to be honest with you. I'm not really sure what this theme is all about. I'm not really sure how to interpret it. I've been thinking about it all week and still … I got nothin'. So, I'm going to give you what I think it should mean or what it would mean [...]
