Last year I started a Facebook page called Random Acts of Promotional Kindness, where I hoped people would help each other promote books, events, giveaways, contests, and well, anything else book related. The page got some attention and people used it as I intended. But I wanted more, so I recently started a RAPK Facebook... Continue Reading →

Well, we’re in the full clutches of the holiday season. Does that sound bah humbugish? I confess, that’s the way I feel. I am a product of a mother whose favorite holiday was Christmas and each year, she went all out. Dad handled the present purchasing and my mother did the rest. Oh, I... Continue Reading →
You love books, don’t you? Yeah, me too. Some authors and publishers are autobuys for me, because I know I’ll get the reading experience I want. A cover attracts me, the blurb entices and then I’m off to purchase. Before I wrote, I had my go-to vendors. As a reflex, I went to what was... Continue Reading →

Let me start by saying that anyone who thinks writing a love scene is fun is greatly mistaken. It’s work and for the most part, technical. A writer has to make sure that the positions we put our characters in are possible and doesn’t end up making them out to be contortionists. Badly written, you... Continue Reading →

As much as I love reading, my favorite kinds of books are those that come in a series. I love revisiting characters, discovering aspects of their lives that might not appear during their starring role. Write what you love, right? When I decided to write, I had an idea for a series set at a... Continue Reading →

Of course, when an author writes “His fingers inched up her leg,” they don’t mean it literally. The problem, however, lies in the interpretation and not in the intention. An author’s job is to paint a picture with words, to create a story. If we use detached body parts as a part of that picture,... Continue Reading →

You have to love Sean Bean and since I do, here he is. No other reason really. :) I love words and I also love clichés. They have become clichés for a reason, and I embrace them fully. I do use them sparingly in my writing, depending upon the period I’m writing about. On occasion,... Continue Reading →
