I have been a busy girl this last month or so. Every since I came back from the National RT Convention I have been go, go, go with writing, plotting, editing, and submitting. I have enjoyed it, hated, it, dreaded it, dragged my brain to do it and then been sparked by something cool and […]
Lately I have found myself reading every blog post on the do’s and don’ts of writing. Everything from Editing checklists to Misused words. I am not sure why I am reading all of these, probably because I don’t feel comfortable enough with my own grammar skills, and most likely because I still mix up effect and […]
Back in April of 2012 The World Observer Online posted an article about 15 things you should give up to be happy. So I was on Facebook and a friend posted the article on their feed. I usually don’t look at these kinds of articles, because I always feel like, “Oh I know that!” But […]
I logged on this morning and realized it had been about 3 weeks since I had posted on my blog. Why? Because I have been too busy, writing, editing, and submitting. I edited the latest version of Red the Were Hunter and started sending it out. Finished up my query for The Society and started […]
I found this cool new website: http://PlottersandPantsers.Wordpress.com And I started following their feed on Facebook. They have some great articles that they have been putting out in the last few weeks.

SO! I finished Red the Were Hunter. The first in a series of Dark Paranormal Fairy Tales that I came up with a few months back. So what is Red the Were Hunter you ask? Here it is: When Redlynn of the Sisterhood loses her best friend to a werewolf attack, and finds another girl from […]
So last week I flew out to the RT booklovers convention in Kansas City, MO. I had originally heard about it a little over a month ago at the SoCal RWA conference. I had heard it was a total blast, so I went to the RT Book Reviews site and looked it up. And when I saw […]
Four years ago, I had an idea for a book. From that idea sprung two more completely different ideas. After those three ideas I had yet another idea. In three years I had written three novels, all at 120k and above, and a partial novel, with ideas for a couple more. I was on a […]
Lately I have found my inbox, twitter feed and Facebook feed choked full of amazing writing information. How to’s and Don’t do’s. And I would love to blog about All of them! But I just can’t. So I retweet, repost and do everything I can to get the information out there to all my followers, in hopes […]
As I have started my ninth book I am now looking back at the characters I have written and trying to have my new characters sound fresh, and not recycled. I have found this difficult. Though the hero and heroine in my new book “Red” are completely different from any other characters I have written […]
