RWA-RRW

I went ahead and did it. I joined Romance Writers of America (RWA). A dozen years ago when I was in the prime of writing might have been better. My books are coming much more slowly now, but I’m hoping to rejuvenate my production. This was a first step. I did not join principly for … Continue reading RWA-RRW

Book vs television

Today’s strip from Baldo (pictured below for reference, credit entirely to the creator) made me think… what was the last book you turned to when “there’s nothing on TV” came to mind? As a member of the LGBTQ community, I’m hungry for representation. With there being so many streaming services, you’d think I could find … Continue reading Book vs television

Goodreads updating

It’s nearing the end of summer and while I added a lot of books to my TBR pile since the start of the year, I managed to read and finish only a few of them. I updated my Goodreads page with my thoughts. Here’s a quick snapshot and a few highlights: While I do a … Continue reading Goodreads updating

Writing about sex

This blog post has been prompted by a post made on one of my Facebook writing groups. The gist was “Help! I’m writing my romance story, but I struggle… every time… to write c… cu… you know, the c word”. I had some definite thoughts on this but decided I didn’t want the OP to … Continue reading Writing about sex

Sunny outlook

It’s June 1, and while summer isn’t officially here until the 21st, I am definitely a sun-centered being. So I’ve been doing daily walks and even greeting the dawn with yoga. I’ve also taken a couple trips to the beach getting a start on my summer tan. Here’s some of the pictures. A good dose … Continue reading Sunny outlook

Launch team – We Fit

I’m planning for a late 2022 release of We Fit: We Three Together, the sequel to We Three. (finally, damn the pandemic!) I’m looking to create a launch team, people who can help me get the word out, re-share excerpts, teasers, ads, and write up reviews from ARCs. Here’s the blurb: Following the events of … Continue reading Launch team – We Fit

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

where to next?

The news just dropped that Musk has purchased Twitter with the intention of returning it to a privately held company instead of a publicly traded one. Privately held companies can control content in ways that publicly traded ones cannot. While M’s position is “unfettered” free speech, I sincerely doubt that claim. So…I’m probably going to … Continue reading where to next?

Looking back

I have been a published author for a while. And sometimes this fact stuns me. I see authors who have been writing for less time, with more books. I only have four. Clearly, I write slow. But writing for me is a release, an expression. I don’t really do it to become rich, though a … Continue reading Looking back
