With BREAKING ALL THE RULES coming out in a few short weeks, I should probably be giving you a teaser from it. But when I saw this week’s My Sexy Saturday theme was “My Sexy Addiction,” I couldn’t resist. I simply had to pick a scene starring Mike James. You Read more…
Yes, I went there. Again. If you forgave me the first time, you can do it again, right? It’s time for another My Sexy Saturday blog hop. For those of you playing along for the first time, here are the rules: Post 7 paragraphs or 7 sentences or 7 words. Read more…
No doubt about it, writing is hard. First off, it’s not easy to make the time to sit down in front of the computer. Life — in the form of work commitments and family time — so often gets in the way. Yet we do it week in and week Read more…
I’m afflicted — cursed, if you will — with being that most heinous of attributes: Nice. Too nice. Some people — normal people — might think nice is a good thing. And that is, indeed, the case when you’re dealing with fellow human beings. A little kindness can go a Read more…

What to do, what to do? I’m at a bit of a loss again. After writing more than 1,000 words on Meg and Matt’s story yesterday, I’ve hit a block. If I take a page of advice from the “write quickly and often” book, I’ll sit down and make myself Read more…
Based on the contest feedback I got on “Operation Snag Mike Brad” today, there’s no way in hell it’s going to final in the Golden Heart. Guess that means I don’t have to worry about coming up with $425 to pay for Nationals, eh? I got scores back from a Read more…
E-mail was not my friend this morning. Remember the agent who requested more of my MS a couple of weeks ago? Rejected. After careful consideration, they decided it wasn’t right for their agency.
