Wow, I’m really losing track of time this year! Almost two months since my last post. Now that Aria is almost two, that child is running circles around me but we’re establishing a routine and I’m at a place where I’m starting to demand everyone else give me some space so I can start spending […]
A few weeks ago, fellow author Ruth Ann Nordin invited me to be part of a project for next year. A project that involves mail-order brides in the 1800s. Of course I said yes! And then I said, “yikes!” I’ve only written two historicals – Reluctant Guardian (2011) and Enza (2012). Obviously, I’m a little […]
What makes a movie romantic? What is it that draws us in and keeps us glued to our seats, mindlessly munching buttery, artery clogging popcorn as we wait, breathlessly, for that final ‘aw’ inspiring scene? That moment we know our time was well spent because we finally got our happily-ever-after fix. The lead actor and […]
Day four of the 2016 NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing month (a worldwide writing challenge), and I’m not too far off the daily goal. In fact, I may be able to catch up tonight. Well, looking at the time – 12:26 a.m. – maybe not. But I’ll give it my best shot. It’s the weekend, I […]
In the last post, I introduced you to Nick. It was clear early on that this guy is going to be one of my favorites and I’m kind of sorry his book falls last in the series. Especially since it’s looking like this series could wind up being at least sixteen books long. Yikes! I’m not making […]
It’s probably fair to say that most every girl in the world has seen, or read, romantic fairytales. Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White… I could list more, but you get the idea. Why are little girls (and sometimes not so little girls) captivated by the whole happily-ever-after thing? Because we’re girls and a whole lot […]
I am having a blast working on this story! I wish I had a title, but so far, I don’t have a clue. But that’s okay. Weko 1 will work until I figure it out. As long as I know who my characters are and what they’re going to be doing (mostly) that’s what counts. […]
One of the phrases that goes through my head on a fairly regular basis is, “the best laid plans,” and it’s true more often than I’d like. That’s why, instead of publishing this the week after the first excerpt, it’s a little more than a month late. So I guess I should adopt a new […]
For too many reasons to get into, my writing has taken second place in my life this year … but I’m working hard to make it a priority again. So I decided this was a good week to share the newest Reader Requested Story. For those who are new, and those who are not but […]
It’s been a long week. My internet went out on Monday – and I didn’t find out until Wednesday afternoon (a day earlier than I’d been promised!) that a county employee mowed over some wires, cutting everyone in the immediate area offline. Then I discovered one of the cloud services I use to store everything had […]
