Start with a Name
Life has been a little hectic as of late. But Mr. Nina and I are trying to settle into what we affectionately call “our new normal”. Which means my muse is chomping at the bit to get something going. The best I can do for her at the moment is update a book which I’ve [...]

Romance is Only Respectable Today?
I’m going to admit that I haven’t done many things that are “typical”. I didn’t pretend not to be smart just to impress a boy. I didn’t sneak makeup in my book bag and put it on at school. And I never pilfered romance novels from my mother’s nightstand. The first one no doubt had [...]

Inspiration’s in the Wiring
I’ve been at this crazy business of writing for awhile now. As you know by now, it didn’t start out as a hobby for me… I jumped in with both feet. Put all my pens in one container and started. Easy… nope. Worth it… oh yeah! Often the first question asked of a writer… “Where do the [...]

She’s Baaaack …
Whew, life has been throwing me some interesting curve balls as of late and truthfully … I haven’t handled them well. Just about 2 1/2 years ago Mr. Nina was downsized from a job he’d had for over 20 years. Despite the blow to his ego, the change had been one that needed to happen. [...]

Does Size Matter?
Shame on you … get your mind out of the gutter. I’m actually talking about something lots of authors wonder. Does the size of the STORY matter? (Didn’t see that coming from an erotic author now did you?) I’ve written all lengths of stories. From a short (which I’m just finishing) to a couple of [...]

Beep … Beep … Beep
That’s the sound of a truck backing up. (Can you hear it?) Anyway, this week has been very frustrating. A virus wormed it’s way into my computer and infected EVERYTHING! Tentacles wound themselves so tight around my stuff that the tech guy couldn’t find the heart of the beast. I was amazingly calm for someone who [...]

Stymied
It’s an awful place to be. Stuck. I got nothing. Nothing going down on the blank page. Nothing running through my brain for blogs… I’m out of words. And that is such a bad place to be. It leads to … Panic! Which I am working very hard to push away. Obviously if the words [...]

Show me the Story
I’m traveling again this week. (After Beautiful Girl’s wedding this past weekend, I’m exhausted, but we’re hoping one of these trips nets Mr. Nina a new job … so it’s totally worth pushing through!) Anyway … I was working with a new writer recently and I kept saying show me … don’t tell me. And [...]

It’s Sensual Monday
Wai … what? You didn’t know Mondays are set aside for everything sexy and sensual? I mean, don’t you put on your sexy lingerie on Mondays to do the vacuuming and dusting? No? … you’ve been missing out. LOL! Actually, I’m talking to you writers who swing by my blog. Today I’m over at Savvy [...]
