Did You Survive NANO? #writing #nano

So did you do it? Were you crazy enough to let NANO suck you under and spit you out thirty days later? *looks out and notes the pale skin, sunken wild eyes, electric shock hairstyles and shakes head* Oh you poor, well intention souls. I’ve been there, done that, and this year may not have […]

READ AND REVIEW: Twisted Fairytales of Cassandra Gannon #review #newreads #twistedfairytales

What’s that old saying? Every story has already been told? Maybe, if you’re thinking in generalities, but writers don’t think that way. Yeah, we know stories follow certain rules: boys meets girl and falls in love, prophesied hero/heroine saves the world, good triumphs over bad, yada yada. But we’re great believers that rules are basically […]

It’s Cover Reveal Time: BEG FOR MERCY #newrelease #romsus

Guess what I have to share? Yep, a NEW COVER for my upcoming release, BEG FOR MERCY coming February 4, 2018 from Escape Publishing and available now for pre order at AMAZON. (Celebrations abound!) To trap a cunning and elusive predator, a protector forged in a blood soaked history must partner with the cynical heart […]

Keeping it in the family…#familylife #teens #language

In case you haven’t figured it out, I’m a writer. Which means words to me are like clothes to a fashionista, books to a librarian, bacon to pups, and a slime trail to a snail. Throughout my life, they help me get my point across during conversational gambits, much like painting a auditory picture so […]

It’s All In The Music #writing #passions

Every writer has more than one passion. Just looking around my group of lovelies, I have one awesome writer who takes great joy in showing off her beautiful Saluki darlings, another loves creating culinary delights (and then quality testing them), still another finds solace in sketching images, another indulges in discovering new places and people, […]

Chatting Sanity with debut #UF author, DeAnna Browne and her DEMON RISING

Today I want to welcome debut Urban Fantasy wordsmith, DeAnna Browne. She’s brought her new arrival, DEMON RISING, with her and if you’re looking for another title for your TBR pile, you’ll want to nab this one. Granted, I may be a bit prejudiced seeing how I’ve been lucky enough to know DeAnna for last […]

For all my Kyn readers, I’m thrilled to share that Cheveyo and Tala’s book, SHADOW’S DREAMS is tentatively scheduled for a February 2018 release.

Your Character’s Why #writingtips

For those who’ve read my books you’ll probably notice I’m a character driven writer. (According to my critique partners, I’m also the queen of sub-plots, but that’s another post.) About 99.9% of the time when I’m playing around with a new story idea, I’m starting with a character, not the world or the plot, but […]

RESDISCOVERING THE SPARK #writing

I recently took a break in-between writing projects for an epic family vacation. But the break wasn’t just because of the vacay, it was also because my ever-steady writing flame was sputtering, threatening to puff out in a gasp of smoke. Since my first book published in 2011, I’ve been blessed to get a total […]
