    OMG I can't believe it!  Thank y'all SO SO much!!!  Every day as an independent author, when you look at your sales figures and see you haven't sold a book in a week, you begin to question whether or not you are actually any good.  And when those little self- doubt demons infiltrate they multiply at a rapid rapid pace.   So, for so many people friends/family/fans and other writers alike turn up in droves to vote for my little independent book I am at a loss for how to properly express how

On reaching The End. #AmWriting #AmReading #IndieAuthor #Ebook #Romance

Secrets of the Heart - the sequel to Dirty Little Secret is complete- well the rough draft is anyway. Now it's on to rewrites and edits and what not- but I wanted to take the weekend (Well Sunday anyway) to just kind of decompress from all things writing. Ivy, my main character took me on the craziest journey with this story - covering topics and situations I never thought that I would be exploring. As I wrote it, I found myself facing so many of my own doubts- about whether it was a good story,

On Reviewing #AmReading #AmWriting

For Christmas I received a whole lot of gift cards for my Kindle from Family Friends. Because I am a romance writer (as mild as my romance writing is), I also am a reader of romance novels, and do a lot of reading and reviewing of other up-and-coming writers.

I have "won" NaNoWriMo- since the goal is to hit the 50K mark. For the moment I will enjoy my tiny celebration, knowing that I have at least completed a portion of the goal. :)

Ivy's Story

It is so strange how characters seem to take the rug out from under you sometimes. I had so many plans for Ivy... I had an OUTLINE. An OUTLINE people! I'm a panster, Im not a planner. But because this was a "sequel," and I wanted to make sure that I had a plan for getting this story out in a certain amount of time so that I could have it edited and ready to publish by my set self imposed deadline I thought it woudl be a smart thing to follow an outline. I had plt points, and character
