I am now able to stay online for more than three seconds at a time - wahoo!!
While at the RWA Conference, I picked up several books. In fact, I have a few to giveaway here, but I need to finish up some immediate writing needs before I can get a list together. Stay [...]

Each week I read through the check-in/page reports for the Seventy Days of Sweat Challenge at Alison’s blog. This week I’ve seen a bit of panic. Heck, being about six weeks from a book deadline I feel panic. In fact, I’m fully into “what was I thinking” mode. But, you know [...]

The internet/posting troubles continue…
Grumble, grumble, grumble.
I’ve tried to post a blog on the Brava Author Blog this morning. We’ll see if it shows up. The topic relates to YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY being excerpted in Cosmo. In a global sense (ie, a less-about-me- sense), it’s about whether or [...]

I’m having some trouble with the internet and posting. Lucky for me, Sue A. stepped in and saved the day!
A few months ago I offered some books for review. Sue volunteered to read Shiloh Walker’s HUNTERS: HEART AND SOUL and provide a review. Here’s the book information:

I ventured into bookstores again this weekend. Yes, the point was to stare at…I mean, sign stock of YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY. But, I managed to check out other books while there. One book caught my eye - WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITCHES by Lee Nichols. I’d never heard of it. [...]

It’s check-in day for the Seventy Days of Sweat Challenge. Go on over to Alison’s blog and put down your number. Also check out Larissa’s post on rejection.
Like Larissa, I had manuscripts rejected before I sold. At the time I wrote those manuscripts I thought they were good enough. [...]

Who is the her, you ask? The “her” is Meljean Brook. And, “know” in this context means via online chatter and not in the “we vacation together” sense, but that’s not the point. Here’s the point: the new issue of Entertainment Weekly includes a section of romance novel reviews, which is [...]

Anyone who knows me knows the title of this post is laughable. Despite my somewhat limited expertise in this area, I have ventured out into some non-print venues when promoting my newest release. Some happened without my help. For example, YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY is now available as an ebook through [...]

Yesterday I blogged about some random thoughts from the recent RWA Conference. One of those points related to expanding the RITA award categories to include a category for erotic romance. Since some folks were making really good points and driving home the fact that this is a difficult subject, I thought I’d move [...]
