RT Convention 2014 – NOLA
The Romance Times Booklovers Convention in photographs…
First night, we were ALL in, dining on Bourbon Street at Saints & Sinners. Thank you, Kennedy Layne and Jeff Griz for dinner and the T-shirt (which I’m wearing as I write right now, BTW, because I’m both a saint and a sinner).

The famous Pat O’Brien’s. No, I didn’t have the drink they are famous for – the Hurricane, but I have friends who did, and they took nice long naps afterward. :)

We began the next morning in arguably the mos...

Ten Pieces of Advice for People Who Wish to Write
Every week (and ongoing), I ask for questions on Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, etc. that I might use in weekly YouTube series: Pick Heather’s Brain. These questions can be about anything. They can be funny, serious, about writing or reading, or how to train your cat. (Okay, well, not about that, because everyone knows you can’t train a cat unless a cat wants to be trained, but even then, you’ll never know if the cat is appeasing you just to laugh at you behind your back later.)

The RT Booklovers Convention: A Reaction from Little Ol’ Me
Seriously? See the mask holding my business cards? I taped that to the table, yet someone removed the cards from the holder, placed them on the table, then took the holder I had purchased while in New Orleans. FYI: The mask is a hint to the cover of Mindsurge. ;)
Let the ranting ensue (but not from me)…
Okay, maybe a little…
You will see many rants surface around the blogosphere (maybe you have already) about the signing at the RT Booklovers Convention yesterday when indie authors felt slighted...

Red River Gorge
My husband and I snuck away recently for a day hike through the Red River Gorge. The hike was richwith beauty, much needed sunshine, and a few shady characters along the way. It was post-tax season, and after the coldest winter in history, I needed to feel the warmth of the sun and, ascliche as this might sound, be one with nature. I craved the outdoors and the creative energy that nature can often provide.
Along the walk I found this lone iris.I love how in the middle of dead, dried leaves le...

Why I Turned My Comments Off; And Why They’re Now Back On

First, an update: Commenting has been turned back on!! Yay!With restrictions. It’s not you! It’s the spammers!!

It’s hard to believe that I can even see far enough into the future to think about life after the Mindspeak series, but I think about it a lot.
I’m pretty sure I already know whatstoryI’m planningto write next. It has a working title and a folder w...
