I’m Thankful For…

It’s not Thanksgiving or anything like that. I’m sure it’s a holiday for someone, somewhere in the world, but it isn’t for me. However, as I was doing the dishes this morning, I was counting my blessings. You don’t need a holiday for that, so I thought I’d share some things I’m thankful for. My […]

And the Winner Is…

I want to formally congratulate Lea Ann Patton for winning the “Name Those Characters” contest. Twin #1 stayed up extra late to draw the names from a square wooden box. Re/Leased* (Doms of the FBI #5) features characters who don’t previously appear as the hero and heroine, and so I didn’t have ready-made names like […]

Soapbox: CCSS and Idiocy

Warning: I’m on a soapbox for this. Almost nobody reads my blog, so I’m probably throwing this into the digital ether, but this is going to make me feel better, so I’m going to have my say. I’ve been holding off for a while because I’m trying not to be political, but these dumb-ass memes […]

Binge-Everything–It’s What Authors Do

Since I’ve had Netflix this past year, I’ve learned that I love to binge-watch shows. I’ve enjoyed old favorites, like watching every episode of MASH or Gilmore Girls in order and back-to-back. It makes a huge difference. For instance, I don’t think people realized how inconsistent MASH was. One day it’s freezing and the middle […]

Print Run?

I’m wondering how important it is to put out anything in print? I know lots of people love the digital, but I see a ton of people still reading paperbacks. I’m considering issuing Re/Bound, Re/Paired, and Re/Claimed in print. Is it worth it? Am I throwing money down the drain (cost of ISBN, bar code, […]

My dog is my baby

Dear Diary, Aunt visited last week, and she had a whole lot to say about my dog. Callie is three. She’s been sickly since we first got her at 7 weeks (the shelter said she was almost 4 months old…) They’d fixed her earlier the day we picked her up. Someone had saved her from […]

Re/Claimed is Here!

The wait is over. The long-awaited third book in the Doms of the FBI series is finally here! Re/Claimed is Dustin and Layla’s story. Amazon Buy Link Layla’s wicked fantasies had already caused problems that left her with deep emotional scars, so when she got a second chance to live them out, she insisted on strict […]
