Reviews on the Horizon

I don’t have a new review for you today, but I have a couple coming up that I’m looking forward to sharing with you. 1) I’ve been asked to blurb a book. This means that I read a book before it is published and give an endorsement that the publisher can use on the front [...]

Friday Excerpt: new (W)hole

I first finished (W)hole in 2009 and it quickly took on a life of its own, being the only novel of its kind. There has yet to be another book telling the inside story of what it is like to be a disability devotee. Written by a devotee for devotees and for anyone else who [...]

The Thrill of a Published Book

Today I’m over at my publisher’s website with a post about what it’s really like to hold your finished book in your hands!  Please join me at DevLovePress.com  

Upcoming Projects

Well, I had this big plan to finally get my science fiction romance published in the early new year (February 2013), but the fact is, it is not ready yet. Feb may seem far away, but it really isn’t! Not in terms of getting a book ready. I need to take this off deadline and [...]

I’m starting to hate humanity

Is it really so bad for me to ask not to be called a freak, looked at with disgust, and compared to a pedophile? I would have thought that a person with a disability would be more understanding of how fucking hurtful it is to have someone dismiss your entire existence. I never hurt anyone. [...]

Friday Story: Mariann, Dancing Alone

This is an older story. I wrote it when I was in high school! (Some thirteen years ago now. Yikes). The last scene makes me cry every time. I don’t have  a cover for this yet, but I think I’ll get one put together today because they are fun to make. Hope you enjoy! Mariann, [...]

Interview: Lorrie Kruse

I’m so thrilled to have author Lorrie Kruse with me today to talk about her book A Life Worth Living, which I reviewed last week. I’ve rarely been so curious when I was reading to know more about the author! So let’s dive right in to satisfy my curiosity… 1) The first thing I notice about [...]

Friday Story: Coworker Crush

Fair warning, this story is more explicit than most of mine. It’s an attempt at something closer to erotica! This story is a blind hero, the only one I’ve got so far and the story is loosely based on something that happened at my work place! Coworker Crush by Ruth Madison Copyright 2011 by Ruth [...]

Legislating Death

I’m not much of one for politics. It’s too easy for me to see many different sides of things, to understand where every different person is coming from. And I hate the way it tears us up and divides us as a community of humanity. There are some issues, however, that are just too close [...]

More Things I Don’t Have Time For?

I just found out on Twitter about a romance reading challenge. As busy as I am, reading time is always built into the schedule! How could I be a writer without reading? I hope I can use these monthly challenges to also read more wounded hero romances so the reviews will be meaningful for you! [...]
