WEEKEND WRITING WARRIORS #10
Welcome to my Weekend Writing Warrior post. I've been absent from the list for a while - I blame life in general interfering with fun stuff, like writing. I'm sure you can all relate.
This is from a new work that I've been posting/working on at a Jane Austen Fan Fiction (JAFF) site. I'm having loads of fun with it and hope I can convey what's going on in just 8-10 lines.
If you are a fan of Pride & Prejudice, you know that Caroline is the villainess we all love to hate, but I've...

CHRISTMAS NOVELLA
Looking for a light-hearted holiday romance?
Blurb:
Never tell a bold faced lie - unless you can follow through with flawless precision...
Kristen Wainwright has been dumped in the most humiliating way possible - only at the most posh restaurant in all Ravenwood, La Crème, and to add insult to injury, her ex has taken up with the office mean queen, Janine Fehr.
Unable to tolerate the snide comments and subtle insults, Kristen, in a moment of weakness tells Janine that 'yes, she's coming to the an...

The Catherine
As stated in the post prior to this one, I finaled in the 2016 Catherine Contest with Gretchen's Song, Book Three in my Welcome to Ravenwood series.
The single asterisk beside my entry means I'm a member of TRW - the host of the contest. The double asterisk means the final judge requested a partial submission. What the picture above doesn't tell you is that the same final judge, Piya (with Harlequin - bucket list dream) requested a FULL submission for Gretchen's Song!
My heart almost jump...

Good News!
Last night I opened my email to discover I'd finaled in the Catherine writing contest (contemporary series category). Excuse me for one moment.... Squeeeeeee.
I shall now crawl into my writing cave and polish my entry (AND finish the book....) I'll be very busy, so you'll have to leave my virtual room now. :)

Friday With Friends ~ Julie Evelyn Joyce
I met Miss Julie Joyce at the Lori Foster Reader Author Get Together in 2012. #RAGT12
She wasn't published - yet - and came as an avid reader and fan of our mutual friend, Margaret Ethridge. In her 'posse' was her beautiful mother, who passed this year and another lady from my neck of the woods. In honor of her mom and of that momentous year, I grabbed a screen shot of Julie and her extremely fun-loving mom taken at RAGT12.
Take it away, Julie.
Hi, everyone!

WEEKEND WRITING WARRIORS
Welcome to my Weekend Writing Warrior post. This week I'm sharing from my newest #WIP - Gretchen's Song ~ Welcome to Ravenwood ~ Book Three

His interest is fully engaged when Gretchen Swanson exits the pub and behaves in a manner that makes him think she's had WAY too much to drink. When she stumbles against her car and drops the keys he almost hops out of his truck to lend a hand - until he notices her taking a q...

Friday With Friends ~ Maddie James
I'm so happy my friend Maddie James has come to visit today. Maddie gave me my first 'push' into the publishing world and for that I will be eternally grateful.
Welcome Maddie, and take it away.
Some stories fly from brain to fingers to computer screen. Others take their good ol’ time in coming. This book falls into the latter category.
The storyline for Wind Ridge came to me while living in central Kentucky horse country, back in the 1990s. Nearby, was a small country farm named Wind Ridge. Th...
