Read the Rest »*scampers*
That’s what I’m doing. I took a brief pause to stop and write this blog post because I love you all too much to abandon you. But I’m scampering because this is a busy week! Next Tuesday I’m flying to Chicago for the Romantic Times Book Lover’s Convention (And I am a nominee for a […]
Read the Rest »The Coffee Magnate!
I had so much fun with this book because it was filled with so many things I love! My hero, Zack Parsons owns a chain of coffee shops that’s made it huge on the level of Starbucks, with thousands of locations worldwide. The heroine, Clara Davis, has been with him since the early days of […]
Read the Rest »Your Voice
This post is a couple of days late, but it was inspired by a twitter conversation. It was about rejection. I asked her a bit about her rejection letter and she told me that she got so tied up in getting it perfect that she lost herself in it. This is SO easy to do. […]
Read the Rest »Slack Blogging and Lessons From Mr. Personality
Apologies for my slack blogging! I’ve been up to my eyeballs in Mr. Personality (my hero of the moment) plus dealing with the fact that the RT Convention cometh. (V excited but woefully unprepared!) I’m also counting calories in preparation for the RT Convention (must lose 5lbs so I can gain it back eating Chicago […]

Or Pitch. Or Submit. Or just sit down to write the first words on their MS. This post is partly inspired by the Presents pitch contest that was just held through Harlequin’s online community, and also the answer to a question from the Desire editor’s chat held on the same website this afternoon. In the […]
Read the Rest »Beginning
I just started a new Presents this past week. My editor gave the proposal the thumbs up about a week ago and since then I’ve been settling into…The Beginning. Beginnings are hard for me. It take me a few chapters to get a handle on my characters and their voices. To start to understand how […]
Read the Rest »New Ideas, Releases and Links…Oh My!
This past week has been busy, in all the best ways. Last Wednesday I finished up my 14th Presents, A Game of Vows, which releases in the UK in October, and started brainstorming my next project, which I’m really excited about. It’s going to be a very different book for me, which is even more […]
Read the Rest »The Power of Words
This isn’t so much about the power we have in words as writers. It’s more about the power words that have been spoken to us seem to have over our lives. My parents are extremely supportive. When I was born, my mom spelled my name how she did because she liked the way it looked […]
Read the Rest »In Which I Have News
*flings confetti* I got word today that my revisions for Crash Test Spaniard were accepted! It’s always SO exciting to have a book all confirmed and finished. I just…I felt very passionately about some of the subject matter in the book so it’s a relief to have my editor on board with me. These are […]
