Road Trip Hell
*I posted this on my MommyBrained blog back when my kids were younger, circa 2009. It’s an oldie but a goodie. Enjoy. It’s funny how the word “holiday” once, not too long ago, inspired joy and excitement in my heart. Now? I effing dread it. Ok, “dread” is a bit much. I certainly don’t look...

Attention Whoring
As I attempt to presence my authorness (“brand” myself, socialize, git on out there, promote my books), I cringe inwardly. Because contrary to popular belief, I am not a social person. Anyone who’s known me my whole life can back me up on this. They can testify to my lack of social life all through...

Dream Cast of The Noble Pirates
So, obviously, I’ve had five years. But the choices haven’t improved all that much. I mean, I have awesome choices, should TNP hit the big screen. (Which is, like, totally possible, right? SNORT). HOWEL DAVIS Okay. I need someone charming. And bold. And someone who can fake a decent Welsh accent. Henry Cavill And that’s...

Why Pirates?
I’ve gotten that question a lot since publishing TNP: Why pirates? And my answer is: Just look at the pirate romances out there. TELL ME they’re not begging for satire. A sampling: No, no, no. This one is just too much. You know what’s weird? I swear I’ve seen both these people at my gym....

THE NOBLE PIRATES Is Free On Amazon
Just FYI, in case you missed it: TNP ebook for Kindle is currently free for one more day. Go and snag yourself a copy if you haven’t already. And don’t forget about KNIGHT ASSASSIN. I realize it isn’t the humorous, tongue-in-cheek read that TNP is, but it’s got the same fast-paced action and vivid characters....

The pictures link to the artists’ respective galleries, if you want to check out more...

The Rules: Preschool Style
Note: I wrote this four years ago, but it still remains one of my favorite Mommy-related blog posts. Even if you’re not a parent, you’ll find this story amusing. Enjoy! Up until babies become preschoolers, the fact that they are male or female makes little difference. Boy or girl, it’s all the same — they’re...

Hilarious Romance Covers IV
I had to look up the Roman numeral for four. Shut up, AS IF you know all your Roman numerals. Pfffft. Her: I wish he’d get his weenie out of my ear. Him: I wish she’d hold still, dammit. Him: I’m too sexy for this book. He’s totally gazing lovingly in the mirror...
