Cowboy Appetizers
Silver Creek time is getting closer! And I wanted to share some little random snippets. Cowboy Appetizers, if you will. 😉 Hope you enjoy them! UNBUTTONED, June 18th – “Thank you,” Carly said. She dipped her fork into the dressing and started flicking it over the lettuce leaves. She was so meticulous in everything she […]
Read the Rest »Make it Work Moments
Crunch time. Do or die. As Tim Gun would say: You’re having a make it work moment. That moment when it has to get done and you don’t know how it will done. You have no time. You have no peace and quiet. You have to rip the MS apart and start over. You’re stuck […]
Read the Rest »A Reflective and Thankful Post
It’s another release month for me (yay!) with my latest Harlequin Presents Heir to a Desert Legacy on physical and virtual shelves, and my next one Heir to a Dark inheritance following shortly behind. We just celebrated Easter, our first in the new house. Our first with a yard. My kids were running around on […]
Read the Rest »My First Manga and Release Day!
So, I found out via Amazon Japan that I have a manga edition of An Accidental Birthright! This is so exciting on about a million different levels. To see an artist’s interpretation of Alison and Max’s story is about the coolest thing ever! I snagged some pictures from the book to share, and I think […]
Read the Rest »Balanced Beginnings
I got an email from the lovely Amanda who requested I write this post (thank you Amanda! Sometimes topics feel hard to come by!) I’m going to talk a bit about beginnings specifically in category romance, specifically the first three chapters. I’ve spoken before about the balance of internal and external conflict in romance, how […]
Read the Rest »Multiple Writer Personalities
I was talking about this with my CP the other day. We were talking about how hard it is to write through self-doubt, etc. And then the conversation spun into how massive egos can burn bridges like WHOA. Self-doubt is crippling. Egos are inhibiting. What I think a successful writer often needs is to have […]
Read the Rest »Post Publication – All the Work that isn’t Writing
Before you sell a book you’re in a pretty sweet position in terms of doing actual writing. What do I mean by that? Well…all you have to do is write. That’s what I did. That’s how I learned. I wrote a manuscript, and I started another one. I know I’ve mentioned this here before, but […]
Read the Rest »Believing That You’re Beautiful
“One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters […]
Read the Rest »A Long Post About Characters
It’s been a busy few weeks for me, in spite of the fact that I DO NOT have a book out this month. It’s been filled with new and exciting projects, which always makes me happy. I got an email from a reader/online friend (and I hope she doesn’t mind me referencing it!) after she […]
Read the Rest »A Post on Doing ALL THE THINGS
So yeah, THINGS people. I have been doing ALL THE THINGS. In the past week I’ve had line edits from two different publishers, revisions for my latest Presents MS and I finished Unbound (AKA bad ass cowboy, though it badly needs a read through!) I also got a title and release date for Presents #20! […]
