Romance so hot...it melts your Heart

Changing it Up

I find sitting down to write a daunting task some days. But then again, isn’t that the way with everyone’s job no matter how much they love it? There are just mornings when you’d rather not show up and do that thing that today … is nothing more than a paycheck. But then you get [...]

Covering the Bait and Switch

So the other day I was shopping in a new store in a new state which meant finding replacements for some of the “standards” I keep in my cupboards. One of those basics is carbonated soda water. Not quite tonic, but similiar. I drink it all day instead of tap water. In Maine, we bought [...]

Loving the Pah-tay … NOT!

So this week Los Angeles is becoming party-town for readers and writers of Romance at the ROMANTIC TIMES CONVENTION. Other than RWA Nationals it’s the biggest gathering of all things romance.

It’s Survival Mode

I know. I know. I was doing so well for a couple of months there blogging every couple of days. But real life is simply taking over and any semblence of a schedule I used to have has gone out the window. Family came last week and we spent two days pushing through a ton [...]

Feel free to run [...]

But I’m seriously digressing. I have loved reading series. I think VC Andrews “Flowers in the attic was the first series I [...]

Banned Books?

This week is Banned Book Week. There are books, many we consider classics, that have been banned or challenged because their content isn’t appropriate for one reason or another. Sometimes it’s due to the wording including profanity. Other reasons state that the content isn’t appropriate for young minds. The American Library Association has a list [...]

Brave New World

I’m not sure if I got into publishing at the right time or a really difficult time. On the one hand there are more publishers out there looking for stories to publish. On the other hand there are more publishers out there looking for stories to publish. This means that an author has so many [...]

Re-Kindle my Reunion

I recently attended by @#th high school reunion. (I’m not sure why I left out the number … you can see the gray hair!) To say it was fun was an understatement. We had a blast! And I know this is going to surprise you, but I talked sooooo much I didn’t even finish one [...]

Cyber Stuff

I love this virtual world. I love that even though I’m disabled I visit friends every day. I keep readers informed of the newest stuff going on in my world through my website and my blog. And the coolest part of that … I have visitors from all around the world. And since my books [...]
