Progress Friday

Hey peeps!

TGIF? I'm ambivalent about this Friday. The week zipped by as if on fiber-optic cable transmission, and I saw the days pass me by without me able to park myself in my chair and get work done.

That being said, I did get some writing done. Transient Hearts jumped about 4K to clock in around 11K this week - all in all, not bad for 2 days' work this past week.

I'm back, somehow, on the routine that allows me to log off for a few hours in the morning and focus mainly on my writing, pushin...

Link Thursday: 14 So-Called Imperfections Women Obsess Over But Men Love

Hey peeps!

I'll admit I am puzzled half the time when my husband pays me a compliment. Why? Because his compliments come when I am least expecting them. For example, when I'm in sweats and the oldest T-shirt I own, without a hint of colour on my face. Or, when I'm wearing sneakers and not the peep-toe platform wedges that make me feel sexy as sin. And then I can be all dolled up to attend a wedding, and when he says I look 'nice', I can totally hear that he is saying that just to please me/he ...

Writing Wednesday: Erotic Romance author Emma Paul visits!

Hey peeps!

Today I bring you an up-and-coming author who also happens to be a fantastic lady and overall the kind of wonderfully nice person you just want to have as your friend. I met Emma a little more than a year ago on a crit group, and from the get-go when I beta-read her debut story, Soulmate's Touch, I knew she had that special something that spins a story into ways you never would've thought of! Emma's books are full of twists, and her characters pop out and leap off the page the minut...

Tidbit Tuesday: KevaD is here!

Hey beautiful people!

It's once again been an insane week for me, where I didn't even have time to take in a breath and hold for 5 seconds before letting go.
So imagine what sort of apoplexy attack I faced (let's send Keva running for his dictionary, shall we? *wicked grin*) when I opened this questionnaire and started reading the answers you'll get to see a few lines down! Believe me, I laughed so much I couldn't breathe, and I must've chuckled more than when I sit down with a Stephanie Plum b...

Six Sentence Sunday - Calling Home Snippet #11

Hello beautiful people!

It appears like the super hot rush of summer is going away here - seasons changing and easing towards winter. Temps have gone down significantly, the wind is chillier... and my nose is giving me hell because of this change of the season. Ack.

So what better than to tuck down with a fuzzy afghan, a cup of hot coffee, and sensationally good reading aka Six Sentence Sunday? And yes, it's March, people! March!

Today, I'm taking you back to the Surrey mansion's garden. Wanna ...

Progress Friday

Hey peeps!

It's a cold, drizzly, and rainy afternoon here. The weather's gone from awful to good to back-awful again in the space of 2 days. Just yesterday, we were downing ice-cold drinks; today, I just left the hyenas with hot chocolate for their after-school snack in the kitchen (and got them out of my feet...).

So, absolutely dreary and awful outside, not looking too bright either inside. You see, I have a word count, but it was supposed to be much better. I stumped and stalled on Chapter 2...

Link Thursday: 10 Commandments for Texting A Guy

Hey peeps!

I was browsing through the links' folder today, and found this one. It was rather relevant to me because one of the characters I'm writing right now is a cell-phone addict, and she's always texting, FB-in, Tweeting, from her smartphone.

So if this girl was out there in the real world, and she was texting guys, what would be the rules?

As I ponder how to possibly giver her a story further down the line, I figured most young women out there today at some point or the other would end up ...

Writing Wednesday: I have Abby Rae Rose over for a visit!

Hey peeps!

Today's guest is a really nice and wonderfully friendly young lady whom I recently met when she joined Noble Romance Publishing. Abby's one of those girls whom you feel you've known all your life after barely a few moments in her company. Kind and generous to a fault, I've always known her to have a nice word and a good laugh on her social media profiles.

It's an honour and a pleasure for me today to make you discover this amazing young talent!

So, Abby, welcome!

Tell us a bit about...

NEED YOUR HELP: Bloggers to host Horror/Paranormal and/or Mystery/Thriller blog tours

Hey beautiful people!



I'm totally stoked to officially announce that I am the Virtual Tour Coordinator at BookTrailerShowcase for the Horror/Paranormal and Mystery/Thriller genres.
