Snippet Saturday – Author's Choice

Today's theme is Author's Choice. Well, this author is going to choose a book that doesn't garner or draw attention. Carnal Ecstasy. Most people shy away from the cover. I don't blame them. The cover is… And I tried to tell the powers that be at Ellora's Cave that that cover was… and that it [...]

Snippet Saturday – Springtime

Happy Saturday! I don't know about where you are, but here where I am it's chilly outside and overcast and they're saying we're gonna get rain today and tomorrow. I'm good with that. For anyone that pays attention to me, y'all know my plans are to write…grins.   So, let's get on with it. Springtime [...]

Snippet Saturday – The Female Protagonist

Happy Saturday! I am feeling so much better. My mouth is back to normal! Grins… For those of you that didn't read about my going to the dentist, well…nevermind. Today's theme is the female protagonist. Now, I don't write the typical female in my books. She's usually older, she's full-figured, she's got an interesting or [...]

Legal Torture – The Dentist

I went to the dentist today. It is now 3:00pm in the afternoon on the East Coast. It has been 5 hours since I left the dentist's office and the novocaine is finally starting to wear off. Now, they say, 'take some ibuprofen before the numbness wears off for the pain that you'll feel'. That's [...]

Snippet Saturday – The Male Protagonist

Ah, the man. I don't know about y'all, but I crave the men in the book. I know I should be more feminist and want the woman's story more, but I'm not. I want the man. It's all about the man in books for me. I want the hot, overbearing, pain in the ass, bend [...]

Catching Up

It's Friday! Yay! Of course, the weekends for me are just more of the same as my days of the week so… I have emailed all the authors that were giving ebook presents with the list of names of their winners that were picked through Random.org. If you are on this list, you should be [...]

Birthday Bash Winners!

And the winners are… Using random.org and a master list of all that commented on all the blog posts associated with my Birthday Bash. A lot of work people. A. Lot. Of. Work. But well worth it. I am still compiling winners names for the ebooks that authors have said they will happily gift and [...]

Snippet Saturday – Openers

Openers. Lines or scenes. This is our topic today. Sometimes, I hate the opening of a book, either reading or writing one. I want something that will pull me in with the first word. I want something that won't map out the entire book for me in just a few lines. I want the tone [...]

Presents

I hope y'all had a great day. Seriously, I do. That's not the false perky talking, either. For those of you that follow me on Facebook, you know what I'm talking about with the perky comment. I said pictures, so pictures I've got… A few presents aren't in the pictures like ebooks and a cupcake [...]

Birthday Bash – This is NOT how I planned to end it…

February was an awesome month. A little insane but awesome. I had the greatest guest authors and bloggers who in turn had some of the greatest readers and visitors. I can't thank you all enough. You made my birthday far better than I imagined. Of course, when you look at the title of this post, [...]
