My Writer’s Rap – Author’s Paradise
So, I was bet to do a rap. Ok. It was more a dare – and well, Challenge Accepted. I’ve thought a lot about marketing, and trying to be different. You know, breaking the mold? Well, I love music. I’m kind of a music whore. I have everything from Rap, Country, R & B, Classical, Zen, Alternative and Old School. My favorite bands are Boys II Men, Bone Thugs N’ Harmony, Coldplay, Muse, and right now, a tie between Atlas Genius, Imagine Dragons, and MS MR. My playlists are random and fused with fun...

Sexy Snippets Sunday (1)
The time has come, wherein I rejoin the land of the living, erm… writing, once more. I’m embarking on a new adventure in Sexy Snippeting… Authors post seven sentences from a current work in progress, published story, or flash, then visit each other and promote and comment.
Without further ado, here are my first seven sentences…enjoy.
This scene is from Duality, Cordelia Kelly #1

I swallowed the lump in my throat and looked at Sol from under hooded eyes. “Doyou believe an emotion...

Tales of a Toxic Family
I generally keep my mouth shut on personal, family, and real-life matters. But you know what? I’m done being silent. There are always two sides to every coin, and every story. I know that. So you don’t have to believe my side. However, it is what it is.
I always see this sign floating around about removing toxic people from your life, and not apologizing for it. Not allowing yourself to feel guilty about it. I agree wholeheartedly. This goes for social media as well – don’t ever feel guilty ab...

Guest Promo: The Last Train Home, by Jae J. Jenson
The Last Train Home
Jae J. Jenson
Casual hook-ups are not Katherine’s usual modus operandi. She’s level headed, confident and definitely not into throwing caution, and her knickers, to the wind.
However, when the last train becomes the stranded in a pitch black tunnel train, she finds herself alone in the dark with a gorgeous stranger, who makes her an offer she ought to, but can’t refuse…
Author Bio:
Jae J Jensen is the name under which I have stepped into the world of M/F Erotic Romance. Some of...

A Righteous flash piece
Writing flash fiction is where I began, and so I shall continue. I haven’t written a flash fiction piece in… wow. Way too long. This particular flash ruminated in my brain for a while now, and I decided to take the plunge and see where my fingers took me. This is set in RIGHTEOUS, Cordelia Kelly #2.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The peaceful night called to me, singing a sweet melody as I walked down the steps to the row of mailboxes. After I unlocked my box and opened the door, I stared at the contents insi...

The two words no writer ever wants to admit…
I’m stuck.
There, I said it. Send the pitchforks, blast me with fire, blow my house over with a million breaths. I’m stymied. Table for Two, my hot lunch #3, is sitting in my folder, and every time I open it up – I stare at the scene, the words written, the direction I am going, and then… nothing. Nothing comes. No divine inspiration. No prose. My fingers hover over the keyboard and my mind reels, but not with anything useful.
Ryan and Samantha wait patiently for me to get my shit together, but...

Just Listen, already!
Good Morning fair readers, Eliza Prince coming to you live from my… bedroom. *Winks* I’ve wrangled the hellions up and they are playing games, so I have a few moments of peace to write you this important blog post.
First, let’s start with a video called “It’s not about the nail,” for some laughs, though the the couple in the short do touch on a sensitive topic.
It’s Not About the Nail from Jason Headley on Vimeo.
There are many ways of listening to your partner. Sometimes I want to smack Jett up...

Heated Debate – Woops!
I unknowingly unleashed a heated debate on my facebook page this morning about Parenting. This was what I posted…
Parenting Fail: #546
DS (5yr old) “Mom! I know what rhymes with Suck.”
Me: O.o
DS: “Fuck!”
Me: O.o :face palm: stone face — feeling guilty.
Which sparked a huge discussion on swearing and cursing. Now, I love a good debate, but judging me? Yea – that doesn’t fly. I know who I am, what I’m about, and what kind of person and parent I am. I don’t need validation, or judgement from anyone....

Breaking News – Aurelia and Ceithin
Breaking News:I just unpublished Fractured Moon from Amazon- So I can go back and fix everything I want to. It’s been a year long decision in the making, and I’ve finally decided to just go ahead and do it. No time like the present. Fractured Moon will be a stand alone novel when it’s finished, and all the loose ends will be tied up. All the villains will be dealt with. There will be more action, more romance, more dialogue. I’ve learned so much over the past year, and I want to make Aurelia...

Monday Mourning – Totems
Monday arrived after a turbulent weekend – My dh’s birthday, Mother’s Day, four children who seemed hell bent on making the decibel level rise to noxious levels, just to torture me for their amusement. Yet here I sit, pondering life and choices. There are moments when I believe in fate, karma, past lives, reincarnation, soul mates, bonds etc. Then there are moments where I question my sanity, the world, life, and meaning. Days where I try to stay positive, upbeat, happy, when all I want is to...
