Y’all, not gonna lie. I worried about what Love by Premonition‘s cover would look like. I not only needed convey what the genre is, but also tone. It’s a paranormal romance, but it’s a pretty snarky one. Further, I have a redheaded hero and a multiracial heroine. I described Marcia in my cover art form Read more of this post »

Cover reveal: Saint and Scholar
If you follow me on Facebook, or Twitter, you saw this on Monday. For the rest of you, here it is – the cover of my upcoming Lyrical Press novel, rendered by the talented Fiona Jayde. Check out that bounteous beauty. I’m happy. Grant [my Irish professor] is suitably pretty and Carla [his former student Read more of this post »
I’m a busy little bee.
I’m getting back into the swing of things after December’s month of non-stop edits and trying to get a handle on time management here. For all you non-writers out there, if you’re juggling multiple contracts, you start to feel like you’re supervising an assembly line with all the querying, paperwork, edits, marketing coordination, and so Read more of this post »
On Reinstated Bond
Hey! I wrote a thing! Uh, surprise?! Totally didn’t plan it, but it’s been occupying my time in entirety the past two days. Here’s the skinny with Reinstated Bond. The original idea–a bounty hunter romance–was sparked by a call for submissions. Ellora’s Cave, I think. I started plotting it out, then decided, “Nah, no way Read more of this post »
On Clean Slate
One of these days I’ll get organized enough to roll out my cover art in a systematic fashion, but for now I show it as I get it. Clean Slate will release after Her Resident Jester and Sold As Is, but as I don’t have art for those two yet, so I’m going to show Read more of this post »
Back with even more sass, HELLO.
Cover reveal! Ready? Look at that dark and handsome hunk of man (I may or may not have hand-picked that image. *ahem*)…and that fierce pair of hooker heels. Impersonating Dad was originally part of the Rebel Ink Press Father’s Day Anthology The Dad Plan. That collection has been separated and stories from it will be Read more of this post »
Short, short, LONG.
Whew! I’ve been busy. I’ve been churning out words for CampNaNo to finish up a story all the while thrashing my inbox with a big cyber-stick. (If any of y’all have sent me emails requesting something and I haven’t responded in a reasonable time period it’s because I file things and then forget I file Read more of this post »
On goals and “what next?”
Fact: I can write a short novel in a few weeks and a longer one in maybe five. Cranking out 5,000 words a day isn’t unusual for me, but I try not to burn myself out, so I spend time editing, revising, critique-partnering and other writerly activities. I took two terms of keyboarding in high Read more of this post »
(Untitled)
The title of this post, or rather the lack of title, will make sense in a moment. I started getting serious about pursuing a career as a writer after being sucked into the chick-lit trend of the late ’90s/early ’00s. I appreciated the smart humor, the imperfect heroines, and upon reading “the end” feeling quite Read more of this post »
Five Questions with Cole and Macy
Whew! Holiday stories are DONE. I finished the second of two yesterday and it’s shorter than I need, so it’s going to need a few rounds of revisions, but now that the framework is done I’m a little less giggity-giggity. Visiting today are the hero and heroine of Impersonating Dad – available now in The Read more of this post »
