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. They posted an article on the 15th, of a blog post by author Chuck Wendig on his Terribleminds blog http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2012/01/03/25-things-writers-should-stop-doing/ 25 things a writer should…
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…
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…
This last week I had the amazing privilege to go to the RWA SoCal Convention in Santa Ana California. It was filled with tons of great information as well as new friends, and lots of inspiration. I listened to speakers on a variety of subjects from Steampunk Gadgets to World Building to Writing a Novella. All of which were…

So, this novel I have been working on, and off, and on again, for the last two years, working title “Underland” has been kicking my butt! I had all but the last 12,000 words written last year and then the weight of the book came crashing down on me as I realized I had 100,000 words…
Hey everyone! I was asked by author Jessica Thompson http://www.jannnovels.blogspot.com/ if I wanted to be in the Next Big Thing Blog Hop that was started on Good Reads.com. So I thought it would be fun to do and to link to a few other great writer blogs out there. I think it also gets me an opportunity…
I found an awesome article on Writer’s Digest, by @BrianKlems http://www.writersdigest.com/online-editor/the-7-deadly-sins-of-self-editing?et_mid=607208&rid=235010435 This article is a great example of ways that as a writer you can limit your potential and cause your own demise. To be honest, I found myself guilty of a couple of these. Though I will not tell you which ones. As a…
When I started reading Paranormal romance, I kept it to myself. No way did I want people to think I was one of “those women” who read the steamy romance novels and fantasized about forbidden intimate encounters with strangers!
