Title: Cooler Than Me

Artist(s): Mike Posner

It's a special perk to be friends with fabulous & talented authors…well, what exactly am I getting at?

I'm one of those "lucky" ones because Ms. Pearce gave me an early read of her first book in the Tudor Vampire series: KISS OF THE ROSE! I can't begin to tell you how much I loved it!!!! I'm not an avid reader of vampire books but this one has a very cool concept, a surge of dark, sensual and sexy energy, and so much...

I'm finalizing details before the big conference on Monday and totally excited about hanging out with all my good friends who are traveling here from exotic locales for this event. My schedule is slowly filling up but I am going to do my best to get some work done. I'm feeling a little relief since my workload pile is no longer growing. I even cleared the month of August to finish my manuscript! This is a b...

Not going to RWA Nationals?

Not forking out the dough for the RWA Conference this year, with evening wear, suits, high heels and whatever "business casual" means?

Not to worry! Romance Divas is hosting the

Not Going to Conference Conference…

The Conference You Don't Have to Get Out of Bed For!

From July 28-31, come hang out with some terrific, savvy authors — and you don't even have to brush your teeth (although, seriously, good dental hygiene gets you extra points.)

We'll be hosting panels on:

I was tinkering around and decided to re-read some of my old works…I decided that SONNET SEDUCTION needed a facelift…one thing led to another and I formatted it for Smashwords. It's a free read that I wrote with writing my partner under Cassidy Kent in 2007. I didn't want it to go to waste so I re-packaged it for others to enjoy. You can also download the PDF version NOW.

Being a big fan of Austen, and P...

Wrapping Up

Title: Total Eclipse of the Heart

Artist(s): Bonnie Tyler

Can't believe I'll be back on the plane Friday and won't have any time to rest before my next adventure. I'm kind of sad leaving Mr. Right but I know it's just temporary….

On Saturday, I'll be on a panel with other local Florida authors and are topic is geared toward helping writers, from professionalism to preparation for pitches at the upcoming RWA Conference. Then afterwards, I'll be doing a book signing...

Summertime Reflections

Title: Jar of Hearts

Artist(s): Christina Perri

Summertime brings back all those memories of my youth. Camping, BBQ-ing, canoe-ing, splashing in the water,  exploring the infamous 'icebox' caves…

Summers aren't what they used to be.

As I grow older, I realize that life was so simplistic in my youth. I'm envious that it's gone. C'mon, there were no expectations, no obligations, just a carefree attitude that was full of confidence. As an adult, the pressures mount in...

I thought it was time to take an extended break. Believe me, I need it. I'm spending a few weeks with Mr. Right and hopefully get lots of work and writing done. Wouldn't you know it, business picked up at the most crucial moment in my writing career. Oh well, I just have to roll with it. At least I got a few pages done on the plane and some more the first day of my arrival. Not too shabby.

I took a break from the busy...

Summer chaos has begun.

The sibling's kidlets are out and it's like a zoo around here.  I've been swamped with an influx of design work which has left me barely time to eat, sleep, breathe…let alone, write. It's been a bit frustrating because I'm ready to get this paranormal project written. However, I'm focusing on getting as much work done as possible so I will have real writing time while I'm away. Nothing but time to...

On Lockdown

Deadlines normally indicate how close I am to reaching this year's goal. It's not necessarily fun and although I've made some progress, I'm still really behind. Of course, on top of writing obligations, I must feed myself. The web and graphics work keeps piling up and I'm wondering when I'll get back to writing again.

For once, I am missing the angst of writing. I've got quite a lot of pages to cover and that's not...
