Writing Software : A How-To Video
I use this software called Scrivener to write with. It’s kind of complicated to learn, so I put together a video for my writer friends showing how I go through and set it up to write and compile the book for the Kindle format. Share this post if you have writer friends, please. 🙂 http://youtu.be/Mec7TH3dVgA
Starbucks and Books
I’ve been writing this romantic serial novel called Just One Night (purchase links below if you’re interested). I’ve gotten a ton of great feedback, and really the only negative feedback I’ve gotten has been about the potential future cost. As serial novels become more popular, we’ll see more and more of this conversation, I’m sure. […]
Buddy-Read for JUST ONE NIGHT
Hello, fans! There’s a buddy read going on over at Goodreads for readers of JUST ONE NIGHT, my latest serial romance. I popped in to check it out and saw that people are already sharing ideas and thoughts on what’s to come, and it’s going to be fantastic for me to help me write the […]
Pictures from Wicked Book Weekend in Ft. Lauderdale
I met some really fabulous readers and authors in Ft. Lauderdale this past week. Here are some photo highlights! I wish I had more, but my camera operator [cough * mom * cough] wasn’t feeling well so a lot of the others were too blurry to keep.
My obituary
A story mostly unrelated to books but hopefully inspirational … Last time I was at my mom’s house, I was going through old boxes of things that had to either be thrown out or kept, depending on their worth to me after having been stored for 3 years. I ran across some surprising things, but […]
You have been TRICKED in the bookstore by publishers
I had a reader-fan write me and ask me for advice about formatting her paperback book that she just wrote. She’s moving from reading to writing. Yay! Her questions led me to write this post. As a reader, I used to walk into the bookstore, head over to the section that housed the books I […]
You know you’re an online bully when …
I was thinking about the online bullying of authors, after reading the article about Anne Rice and the bullying she experienced (she is not alone – lots of us have suffered from this sickening trend), and it struck me how strange it is that a person who might be perfectly nice in public can become […]
Money grubbing authors? Readers, before you paint, make sure you have the right brush.
I received an email from a ‘devoted fan’ who was dismayed to find that I’ve started writing a romantic serial novel. You can find Part 1 of Just One Night here. She accused me of being another one of those “money-grubbing authors” who rip off their readers. Wow. Can I just say that again? Wow. […]

What I’m up to lately and some rambling / grumbling
Hello, readers. It’s been a while since I’ve posted any rambling thoughts, so I figured it was about time I go there again. Weeee! Rambling thoughts! I’m currently working on several projects. Number one is MacKenzie Fire, which is the sequel to romance Shine Not Burn that was published last summer. I expect this book […]
