At my day job, we have a “use it or lose it” policy when it comes to vacation hours. And silly me, I’m one of those nuts who never takes time off. So every year at this time, I’m in a mad dash to use up my leave because there’s no way in hell I’m [...]

Ever since joining #sixsunday, I’ve stopped blogging about myself and just give you snippets of works in progress (WIP). Time for a change. So today I’m introducing “Wednesday’s Words”. I’ll endeavor–especially for the year 2012–to write about what’s going on with me and share anything I think you might find curious. In the upcoming weeks, [...]

@ErickaScott said today she’ll be reading my blog to catch up on what I’ve been doing. Eep! Yeah. I keep forgetting to do one of theses posts, so here goes… I just finished writing KEEPING PACE, my cougar novella. Use the tag cloud feature over there on the right to read some #sixsunday snippets from [...]

HOOK. ME. WITH. CHAPTER. ONE! I’ve done this post once before, but thought the message bears repeating again. I read 100K books in about a day. Rarely more than two. That’s not a brag, just a statement of fact. If, however, it takes me two weeks to read the first 19 pages of a book, [...]

I’m adopting a third pen name. It’s going to be a seekrit for now too. You see, there’s this call for submissions at Mills & Boon for medical romances. I’ve been telling @elizagayle for some time that I want to write one. Here’s my chance to not only write one, but to also get a [...]

So Reclaiming Medusa (aka Medusa’s Seduction) has a new title–HEART OF STONE. It’s also been submitted to my publisher. *fingers crossed* I won’t say that I get nervous when I hit send on these oh-so-important emails, but I can admit that my heart does a little squeeze–a little harder than necessary–when I do. Let the [...]

I announced on Twitter Saturday night what’s wrong with my current WIP. I’ve been stalling on it for weeks now, not quite understanding why I couldn’t get the story to unfold. Based on my projected 40K word count, I’d passed the halfway point and I don’t know about you, but for me, that’s when the [...]

the first review to land is almost as bad as waiting for a submission reply. Cold Blooded has been out for a couple of weeks and by now somebody has to have read it. (Right?) This release is a little different for me because I did something I normally don’t do and that is re-read [...]

is away! I heard about a call for a print anthology just a little over a week before the deadline. Since they only accepted submissions via snail mail (Really?! Is it 2010 or what? Sheesh.), that gave me about three and a half days to write something between 6 and 10K. As I do the [...]

@mincarter wrote a very good blog post on the “how-to” of writing. I’m going to send you over there for a gander. One thing I would add though is that writing is a solitary profession for the most part. Like Mina, when I first started authors higher up on the food chain were kind to [...]
