Keeping the balance
Okay, saved the hardest question for last…A few days ago, I had an open door-people can ask whatever, and I try to answer.
Mary G asked:
One thing I admire about authors – the balance between keeping the style that people love & still surprising them each time (as you do for me). How difficult is that or is just like breathing for you?
I'm thinking that… beats the hell out of me…isn't going to be the best answer, huh? Okay.
Well, it's not natural as breathing, that's for sure. I think it's probabl

Writing/Crit groups
Another good question with my recent open door was from Anna. She asked:
Are you in a reading/critiquing group with other writers and readers? I've read that many authors are, and find that helpful. just curious, thanks
I'm not in actual crit groups, per se. I've tried doing a crit partner once, and while it worked okay, it just wasn't something for me. *G* I'm very often one of those people who 'don't play well with others'. A lot of that is just because I'm very independent, probably to the

Writing and Family
Yesterday's Open Door had some good questions-which is cool on several levels. One… *G* it means people are reading the blog. Two…*GG* it means I have instant blog topics.
How do manage to write and still find time for family. I know it was hard for me in grad school just to sit down and write papers without taking up to much family time, or general interruptions. It was either that or write in the wee hours of the morning. Do you write when an idea comes to you? Or, do you have a sp

The Redeeming
My newest ebook releases today…although technically, it's not new, since it's a reissue of a title I pulled from another epub some years ago. Previously titled REDEMPTION, The
Redeeming releases from Samhain today.
Bred for destruction but longing for redemption, this second chance is all they have.
Faced with the choice of torment or redemption, Jonah accepts the bargain laid out by his guardian angel as he lies dying in the street alone. Change…or die. Not a hard choice, it seems. But then he me

My Cover Fairy came through again
She's so very good to me.
We've got the cover for BROKEN and it works so very nicely with FRAGILE.
Shattered
Quinn Rafferty is working as a bounty hunter and bail bondsman in St. Louis when a new neighbor catches his eye. He's tempted by her beauty—but he knows from experience that anyone desperate enough to live in his building is damaged goods. Besides, he has his own soul to mend before he can worry about anyone else.
Desperate
Sarah McElya is on the run, but not for the usual reasons a woman
Guestblogging over @ Espan
For those wondering more about epubs, I guest blogged over at Espan-which is an RWA chapter for those in the epub industry or interested. Other industry pros have already visited and there's more to come.
