There Be Authors Galore!
Once I’m awake, I’m awake, so while my roommates dozed away, I hopped into the shower. Roommates? Yes. I’m at Dreamspinner Press‘s author conference. I’m sleeping in a bed with Jon Treadway and the gentle clicks of of Jaime Samms‘ keyboard lulled me to sleep last night.
It’s been great putting faces to all the names I’ve seen online for ages and even better to see that there’s this community of fairly like-minded people in the world. Fairly? Yes. Who wants a bunch of clones in a room? Imagine...

Excite!
Yesterday as I listened to the SCOTUS arguments in the DOMA case on my laptop, I got an email. I was relaxing in the tub at the time and nearly ignored it. I’m so glad I didn’t.
North Star – Rekindled is going to be published. Dreamspinner wants my story.
I’m so excited. I can’t wait.
NO. Literally, I can’t wait.

Medically Necessary? I Guess So.
I recently got a review that mentioned how Fall Into You‘s blurb didn’t say anything about there being medical problems that the characters encountered and that if it had, the reader would’ve picked the book up sooner because she really likes to read about those themes. I didn’t mention the medical issues in the blurb because I didn’t want to ruin that bit in the story. In fact, there were many things I left out of the blurb that maybe should’ve been put in. Oh well. It was my first book and...

Inside My Head
A lot of writers live inside their heads. I know I sure do. I create wonderful worlds where everyone lives in harmony or tragic ones where people kill and maim and burn. I set people up to fall in love then make them fall out of love in such a sad way that I occasionally question my own sanity. And that all happens on the drive to my daughter’s school and back in the morning.
Sometimes these stories are happily played out in my head as I go about my life and I’m content to simply release them...

Risking It
I signed a new contract this morning for a short story of mine. It’s going to be published in Dreamspinner Press‘s Daily Dose. Every day in June, a new story is released. You can buy the stories individually or as a whole collection.
This year the book is called Make a Play and has a sports theme.
I wrote about sports!
My story isRisking It and I dug deep to recall that feeling I had back in high school during state basketball tournaments. Mostly, I recalled all the really cute boys from differe...

Forward Momentum is Good!
My next book is in the hands of nine people, at the moment. Lots of eyes are scanning my words to tell me what they think of them.
I’m nervous and excited. Mostly excited, because I’m so ready for this story to be submitted. I want to share Hugo and Kevin with the world, because both of them have been such amazing companions over the last several months.

Lemon, Lemon, Yum!
I need to make my mom’s lemon bars. If I ever do, I’ll post a pic and maybe the recipe because they are to die for.

Fall Into You by Posy Roberts
Reblogged from The Novel Approach:
The course of true love never did run smooth. – William Shakespeare
Simon Phillips hates Thomas Schultz. Or at least he hates the fact that Thomas constantly sings with his shirt off, which makes Simon capable of doing little more than focusing on the man’s chest rather than paying attention to tending bar the way Simon’s supposed to. But there’s a very good reason Thomas goes topless on stage, a very good reason that Simon discovers one night in a stolen mom...
