Soulmate Series Saturday: The Writer’s Itch

Before I start this post, I have to say, if you don’t have a sense of humor, you probably shouldn’t read this. Now that we have that out of the way, I’ll continue.

I can’t speak for all authors, but I do know that the ones I chat with experience what we like to call the writer’s itch. I know. You’re probably wondering what the heck I’m talking about, which is part of the reason I’m writing this post. I will say thatit’s not the easiest thing to put in words, but I’ll do my best, ’cause that’s...

First and foremost, I’d like to thank everyone who helped the series page reach 1000 likes. That is no small feat. I’m very grateful for each and every like I have. Being an indie author is not easy by any means. I rely on many of my readers to help me spread the word about my books. I feel lucky that I have many readers who want to help out.
As promised, on the series page, I am including a snippet of Book 3′s prologue for those of you who are anxious to read i...

Inner Critics…A Writer’s Rant

If you’ve taken the time to look at my website, or if you’ve ever read my insane posts, you know that I have a muse as well as an inner critic that…’assist’ me with my writing. Both are helpful in their own way, but my inner critic, Tilly, loves to send me into writer’s block.

You also know, if you follow me on Facebook, that I’ve been struggling with writing, lately. Partially due to ‘writer’s block’ as well as circumstances beyond my control.

I was going throug...

Here We Go Again

First off, I have to say, my readers freaking ROCK! And then some. You all have amazed me the whole year and you keep coming back, taking me by surprise even more. So THANK YOU for all that you do. So many of you have spread the word about the Soulmate Series. You guys are awesome.

I know many of you have contacted me, either here on the blog or on Facebook, wanting more details about Book Three. I still don’t have much to offer as far as release date. I’m hoping to shift gears and focus solel...

The Final Moment

I have to warn you before you start reading this post. It is a poignant piece. If you’re cool with that, keep reading.

Most of my blog posts are a little looney. Insane even. I know this. Take much joy in writing zany posts. I like talking about writing, drinking, and of course, music. But underneath the crazy facade lies a women who carries her heart on her sleeve. A woman who loves the thought of being in love. Who loves babies and kids and about every animal on the planet.

Those who know me...

And the Beat Goes On…

If you’ve ever read my blog, you know how much of a music nut I am. Hell, there’s musicians in my book. #duh. When I find a song to help a scene come to life, it’s the most amazing feeling. If a find an entire album…even better. But when I find a band with so many great songs that help unlock the creative drive, well, it’s a little slice of ecstasy.

There are a handful of bands I can say that about. Nickelback being one of them. Godsmack, too. But I just recently stumbled upon a group that’s b...

Tuesday Tunes: In the Mood

I’m always on the lookout for good music to help me write. God knows iTunes has made much money off of me. Thanks, Apple ~_^

Now that I’m back in the swing of things, aka writing, every time I get in my vehicle, the radio comes on. You never know when you’ll discover that song to help you ‘get in the mood’. Not that mood, silly, the mood to write. Though the song I’m discussing today has to do with thatmood.

While some of my characters are rockers, I listen to all types of music to help me writ...

Theme Song Thursday: Change

This will probably be my last Theme Song Thursday post…

But not because I’m going anywhere. I’m switching things up here on the blog. Music and videos are switching days. You’ll now be able to find these posts on Tuesday Tunes. Change is good, right?

I don’t have much to blog about music today other than to say that I woke up with the song below on my mind. And it’s stuck in my head. But I guess I can live with that. It’s not a bad song. While I can’t relate it to my work in progress, I can say...
