Author Interview - Meet Deborah Palumbo
I met author Deborah Palumbo on Goodreads, and we
immediately hit it off. We got a kick out of the fact that we had both picked
the same background for our blogs. Obviously, she has good taste. We also share
an interest in the paranormal genre, so we decided to trade off interviews. You
can read her interview of me here. In addition to the paranormal genre, she also writes
historical and

Amazon Flexing Its Muscles - Reviews and Royalties
Amazon’s recent removal of book reviews has become a hot
topic among authors and readers alike. One of my fellow authors complained on Facebook about some of her missing reviews before I had heard anything about it. I felt terrible
for her. I know how hard it is to try to get reviews, and to have even one
removed can be devastating. The next day, I noticed that I was missing several
reviews as

Flash Fiction My Way - The One
Seeing the previews for Breaking Dawn
2 got me thinking. How funny would it be if a vampire showed up in some woman's
bedroom and the tables were turned on him. Instead of instilling fear, the
woman would welcome him, and try to turn him into the romantic hero vampires
have become in modern paranormal romances. The scene I envisioned started out
funny, but took an

Mother of the Year Award
I have long admired those mothers who seem to have it all
together. They are highly organized and always look good. Their kids are always
clean, and they have fresh fruit cut-up into perfect bite sized pieces sealed
in Tupperware in the refrigerator and antibacterial wipes everywhere. They cut
their kids’ sandwiches into cute shapes and make sure their library books are
never overdue. When they

The Next Big Thing: Where Will You Turn?
I recently read Sandcastles and Other Stories from the
gifted mind of Justin Bog. I was blown away by this collection of short
stories. It took me back to my college days; to my literature classes where I
read creative tales penned by classic authors who challenged me to think
outside the box. Yeah, it's that good. Of course I was interested in whatever
he was going to write next. Imagine my

How to End a Relationship with a Kiwi
I loved visiting my grandparents when I was growing up,
but we could only go for a weekend every few months since they lived four hours
away. When I was in my teens and early twenties, I realized I didn't have to
wait for my parents to go visit. Since I was working, I could buy a train
ticket and my grandparents would pick me up at the station.

Flash Fiction Friday - The Prisoner
Welcome to my first Flash Fiction Friday! For those of
you who follow my blog, you know that I entertain myself by making up stories
when I'm bored. I see movie-type scenes in my head, and I write down what I
see. The problem is, I only write down the scenes that pertain to my books, or
whatever I think may lead to longer stories. There are a lot of scenes in my
head that never go anywhere.
