Decisions, decisions. We all know they have to die. I mean, yeah, we love them, but the show must go on. You should never shy away from killing off a character. Sometimes, things have to happen, and here's why? Who do you love? The first thing I always consider is who is loved in my... Continue Reading →
Reblog edition. . Back on the 12th, I wrote an article for the scifi romance brigade on writing fictional military characters. I wanted to let it have some time on the home blog today before it fades into obscurity. I spent some of the weekend back writing in the universe that inspired this post, and... Continue Reading →
Guest poster Pandora Spocks is making the rounds this week and hitting a few blogs in preparation for her new release on April 18th of the final chapter of her Rannigan series, and it's a doozy. How lucky can I get? Not only did she do her release announcement on a Fairytale Feature, but... Continue Reading →
I've spent my fair share of time in romantic situations, just like anybody else. I've recently had this epiphany. Romance has changed in my generation. For the better possibly. I'm a child of the Buffy gen. Love took a little bit of a dark turn for the women of the nineties as they changed the... Continue Reading →
I know. Categorizing a book is hard. Where you put your novel, and what you call it matters. Yes, I know. It's your first book. You think the world is just waiting for this story, the whole world. It's really not. This is sales. Don't get me wrong. I love my books. I believe in... Continue Reading →
My schedule is brimming with reviews. Perhaps, overflowing. I've noticed a trend among the authors, and I include myself in this.

After finally deciding to self publish this year, a decision that was helped along by a website I'd joined called Romance Divas, I realized how little I know and how very alone in this business one could be. I also knew that this could be a vanity project or I could be serious about it.... Continue Reading →
Here's a trick. One of the most important tricks I've learned is arrive late, and leave early. When writing, just pretend you're trying to be some high society glamour plate. You wanna make an entrance, dontcha? You want everyone to look and point. The first requirement for that is that the other guests have to... Continue Reading →
Titles matter. You know what turns me off in a title? I will sum up. Categories are for tag lines. Romance, Science fiction, BBW, Menage. Why are any of these in your title line? It's the sure sign of okay to awful porn and a terrible book. A verb and a noun- Embracing my alpha... Continue Reading →
Goodbye, Facebook http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/483814534 Realized this week one simple rule for my author platform. Books don't write themselves. Promotion is essential, but there is only so much that works and only so much time in a day. I'm switching off some of my networking channels so I can get a little peace. I'm a big fan...
