WEEKEND WRITING WARRIOR
Welcome to my Weekend Writing Warrior post. Last week I tweeted "what happens when you get your sister hopping mad" and then posted my yummy Laird Craven scene. *sigh* That's what happens when you get a new toy (a program that allows me to set up some posts a week in advance). I knew I'd be busy with Top Gun signing papers for our new house, and... the rest is history.
So, without further ado, I give you the scene from Man of Her Dreams where Lindsay and Jared have been caught making out...

Throwback Thursday
Hey you!
Glad to see you here for throwback Thursday. I thought I'd share a photo from where I used to work in 2008. I'm retired now, but at the time I was an admin assistant in Human Resources for the London Police Service.
That was a great job. Always busy, but on Friday's we'd trick... I mean, send an officer out for our coffee and we'd sit back for about an hour and just unwind and share the crazy things that go on in our line of business.

#1LineWed
I love one line Wednesday. It's fun to go through you WIP, or published manuscript and find those little nuggets that captures who or what your characters are. The theme this week was dialogue. Now it can be difficult to capture a fun line because without the other 'stuff' around that one line, things could be taken out of context.
However, my one line was pretty straight forward: "Noooo...so unfair. I don't have any hot neighbors, just acres and acres of corn fields.' (technically two lines,...

WEEKEND WRITING WARRIORS
Welcome to my weekly post for Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sunday, where all of us who are slogging in the writing trenches come up for air and share a brief snippet of what we're working on.
I've shared from my WIP - Man of Her Dreams, and WIP - Fiancé for Hire, but did you know I was also writing a paranormal/time travel historical romance? <-- say that five times fast.
When I get frustrated with my contemporary folk I take a trip to Scotland-circa 1605 and visit Laird Cr...

#1LineWed
Today on Twitter's #1LineWed I shared a little bit from my paranormal/time travel romance ~ Craven Desires. I thought I'd expand the selection and give you a taste of the novel's villain, Ma'alcom.
Excerpt:
Excerpt:
Ma'alcom spat out a curse, turned from the fire and faced the messenger, who recoiled. For the first time he believed the whispered stories about the strange one, who dabbled in the dark arts, twisting his Druid teachings into an evil force.
He took a step toward the him, and the messeng...
