I’m touched that so many loved my last post, so I’m going to leave it prominent a few days. I received emails and messages on Facebook, it was retweeted many times. It’s been incredible. I’ve had wonderful conversations with writers in this stage, ones who feel just as worried and just as determined.So, I’m glad…

Being on Submission-From the Heart
I don’t believe in jinxes, yet I find myself becoming more cautious about sharing information too early these days. It probably comes from spilling exciting news with a friend or family member then having months go by without anything further happening. People call daily with the “Any news yet?” questions and it doesn’t take long…
Deadline Dames Basket for a Great Cause
The Deadline Dames have a basket in the Brenda Novak auction to benefit diabetes research. In addition to some fantastic books, there are also Tim Tams, a mug and coaster! http://brendanovak.auctionanything.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=1765014 I know so many who struggle with this illness, including my father, who is currently walking in a special shoe due to problems with…
Update and THOR!!
We’re keeping a steady stream of pictures from the Romantic Times Convention on The Deadline Dames. Posting several times a day and some funnier ones are slipping in… I’m not in any because I’m stuck at home. 🙁 But enough whining! I am writing-finally broke through a difficult scene last night and how could I…
Fun Convention Pics
I slapped up some photos from the Romantic Times Convention and a couple of sad faces, moi included, from those Dames who couldn’t go this year. The pic of Kaz cracks me up! Follow the Dame to see! Psst-there are rumors of the T-shirt I’m wearing being available at RT. It’s just a rumor, so…
The Fever & Shout to The Dames and Miriam!
I love it when the writing FEVER settles in. I went to bed scribbling in a notebook and awakened only to reach for it. Last night, I also watched the disappointing Thunder/Lakers game–okay, I didn’t make it to the end–but Thunder was trailing by 30 points, so I went to bed. But I was writing…
Weekend Present!
Yes, it’s blurry. I can’t find a camera and my phone camera could use something. But look!!! It’s the British version, so the spellings are different. Words like favor are favour, program is programme, etc. There was one I didn’t know about, so it’s cool to see the differences in our spelling. The one? Forever…
Sharing Love for Books w/My Daughter
Still here, still plugging away on new book. Part of my mind is on my Norse trilogy and how it’s doing out there in Submission World. I want this trilogy to find a loving home so much, I alternate moods like you wouldn’t believe. One day anticipation burns in my gut and the next worry…this…
Teaser at The Deadline Dames Today
I posted a very short snippet of FORETOLD at the Deadline Dames today. Very short, but kind of sexy. As usual, follow the Dame. 🙂
Slow: Worldbuilder Playing
My word count will be sluggish a few days. I needed more worldbuilding time. When writing a book set in the future, there are so many things to take into account. Food, clothing, society, government, population, medicines… My urge is to burn my way through without the base work because the story is alive, the…
