New Version of Ignite, Parched Book 5 Available!
Dear Friends, I apologize for the quality of the Ignite novel that I first released on May 8, 2012. Believe it or not, I did pay to have it edited but the editor simply didn’t do a good job. Once I learned there were still a number of errors still left in the book, I [...]

Rolling My Eyes at the “Tropic of Cancer”…
Listen… So I’m trying to get through the The Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller… You know those people??? Those people who like to hear themselves talk about how smart they are, how evolved they are, and how they’re nothing like us dummies who sully ourselves with lowest common denominator art… That is LCD art–lowest [...]

Up Late with My TV…
And after this, I’m going to bed… But I don’t know, I was just pondering the power of FICTION. See, I’ve just finished watching four episodes back to back of Sex and the City on Lifestyle TV. I love that channel BTW. And when the last episode ended, I found myself wishing I had thought [...]

A Single Writer in… San Diego???? (coming to this blog real soon)
Today, I updated my mother on my future plans. Yes, I’m getting the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks out of dodge. I was going to wait until the lease is up in February of next year but I simply can’t last that long. I’ll put it this way… Last month, I was home back at my old [...]

Oh What A Day Away Can Do…
A day away from the story that is… Today, I didn’t write. I woke up WAY too late… that is 11:00AM and walked up Bell Street to Yoga before 12:00PM. Yeah, I struggled, hot room yoga on a stomach that’s empty at noon is not smart. So, while engaging in my practice book six of [...]

If You’ve Just Finished Parched, book 1….
Then know this… Of course that’s not the end of Clarity and Baron! The FUN is reading how they get back together (wink)… The continued fun is watching them STAY together… Of course their story continues in book 3, and then in book 5, but don’t skip book two to get there. Book two is [...]
If “The Seventh Sister” Is The First Book You Read In the Parched Series, Then…
You should make sure you read the description. It’s in the Note From The Author section on Amazon and reads like this: *PLEASE READ* I decided to make the second book in the Parched novel series shorter to deal with the limitations of writing in the first person point of view (or POV). Parched Book [...]

A Note from an Organic Writer…
Listen… I have an advanced degree in a critical studies subject. I’m from the world of big words, carefully crafted language and sentences, and critical analysis. I mean, the more we used obscure language, the more the professors felt certain that they were doing their job. Especially in that rhetoric class…. forgot the professors name [...]

Oh Now I Get It… The Intoxicated Writer Cliche…
But it’s not a cliche…. So today, after I left the coffee shop, concluding a period of an “OK” writing day. There is no sun in Seattle today. Look, it’s true… no sun, too dreary to be too creative. At least for me. What I’ve learned is that I’m a true Californian girl. I took [...]
