That title pretty much sums up my writing life these days.
I’ve had the joy of seeing two new releases this month:
A TARNISHED HEART ~ full-length Victorian historical
IMPROPER NIGHTS ~ short story erotic historical
It’s exciting and yet, the neurotic tendencies of a writer have us checking our stats on Amazon or publisher website. We are [...]
As The Jaw Clenches
A New Soap Opera for Authors
Between belonging to two critique groups, being edited by different publishing houses and reading information on blogs, I feel more confused than ever. It seems that rules change from house-to-house and while the lines blur, I am very clear on the following traps we authors fall into [...]
Why Can’t Things Be Easy
Aren’t computers supposed to simplify our lives? I swear I’m about to chuck mine out the window. First Yahoo sends random messages from people in my address book to either Spam or Trash. I pay $19.99 to Yahoo so I can use my Outlook program, so now I have to actually [...]

While I was upstairs planning his wardrobe, he elected to change into a Spider man shirt and short set that I bought at Dollar General. He pitched such a fit when I tried to change him, his Mom said, "Let him wear it. He [...]
In 15th century Spain, Juana 1 of Castile is born the second daughter of Queen Isabella of Castile and King Ferdinand of Aragon whose marriage united the two kingdoms, but it was her mother who possessed the most power and greatest influence.
Beneath the intensity of her politically shrewd mother, the serious, introverted Juana grew into [...]
I spent the better part of May hard at work on preparing for my virtual book tour with Nikki Leigh.
Thank goodness for the Internet and the global village we now all live in.
The world has opened up to each of us. Never before has it been so easy to research, or purchase goods, or share [...]
Both interviews deal with my recent release of A TARNISHED HEART!
First, come visit me over at History Hoydens - Historical Romance Writers Dishing the Dirt on Research. I’d love to have answer a question from you or read any comments you might have! I’ve already gotten some really thoughtful questions on the book!
I also have a interview [...]
The freelance writing life can be a challenge sometimes. Sometimes you don’t have enough work; other times you have too much. I’ve been meaning to get back to this blog for a while, but it just hasn’t happened. I’ve been posting in a lot of other places, including my Get Paid To Write Online blog.
I’ve [...]
