One of the best things about the internet is that it makes the world smaller. Thanks to Amazon and AmazonFresh I don’t have to leave my house for books or food. Both get delivered right to my doorstep now. I can buy my music online as well, whether through iTunes or CDs from B&N.com or […]

Knuckling Down
Can’t ignore the writing any longer. Can’t allow queasiness to keep me from getting serious work done. It’s time to jump on my Harlequin manuscript and get it done. Although Surfer Ty is still here through Saturday morning, I am returning to writing tomorrow. I should even try to write today but today is clean […]
Autumn Sunday
The boys are at their dad’s this weekend and I’ve been reading and scrapbooking. Once again I’m putting together a scrapbook for Surfer Ty’s birthday (his birthday was October 6th but as I didn’t see him I procrastinated putting it together). Scrapbooking is a lot of work and yet the end result is always great, […]
Title & Cover Confusion
My July ’09 book, Tiana’s story, has had a very rocky road so far and its not even on store shelves. Not only was the story challenging, but its been a huge headache finding a title for it. I even went to all of you for title help and turned in four pages of title […]
Fan Mail
I received an email from a reader yesterday and it was wonderful to hear how she discovered me and why she’s a fan of my books now. It made me feel very lucky, and definitely blessed, to know that my books resonate with readers, and bring love and joy to some women who don’t get […]
Luscious, Luxurious
I spent the month of August writing. And rewriting. And writing and rewriting. I was working on my July ’09 book, re-visioning what was, to make it what it could be. It was a hard month, and that month followed several very hard months of work. I’ve done more writing in the past 7 months […]
San Fran
It’s been a very cool, very busy, very exciting conference. With so many friends here and so much to do, it’s been a bit of a rush from this to rush to that, and yet in between the meetings, appointments and workshops I’ve have time to see my Harlequin author friends and my 5 Spot […]
City By The Bay
I’m packing for my five days in San Francisco for Romance Writers’ of America’s annual conference. I fly out early Tuesday morning and it’s going to be an incredible week and I’m taking three suitcases for this trip–a small one of clothes. A medium one of shoes and promo stuff. And a huge suitcase filled […]
Title Me!
What do you do when you finish a book (finished except for the last chapter which still needs more work) and the sales department doesn’t like the title and wants you to come up with a new one? Fast? Again? You do what I’m doing. You beg for help and dangle some fun incentives to […]
Nearing The End
The end is in sight. The end of the book that is. And I couldn’t be happier. I’m actually starting to sleep a little better and stress a little less. I still have 3-4 hard core writing days ahead but I’ve gone back to the beginning twice, made substantial changes, and think the story is […]
