...and I'll be amazed if this post actually publishes. Yeah, yeah, we all know I'm terrible at keeping a schedule with this damn thing, though I do try my best. I honestly don't know how some authors blog weekly or even daily and still write a book, edit said book, market the book, and work… Continue reading 10 Reasons I Suck at Blogging

Upcoming Event(s)
...because you KNOW I don't do these things for myself as an author or even publisher (yet). *gasp* An actual honest-to-goodness author event? Yes, my darling minions.....well, it's called Phoenix Comicon and it is the first weekend in June. Feel free to bring forth birthday tidings, and if they are of the food variety, let's… Continue reading Upcoming Event(s)
Sneak Peek: ASSASSIN, Take 3
The next night is Girls’ Night Out, and boy do I ever need it. Killian’s not happy that I’m running off with the girls, but he gets it. Sometimes, you just need a night out with your friends. Once the last gal—Lillian—climbs into our rented limo, we’re off, and I sigh heavily because my best… Continue reading Sneak Peek: ASSASSIN, Take 3
Skip a Starbucks Day!
...and yes, we're doing this again because it's a great cause! In November 2010, friend and author CJ Redwine and her husband Clint adopted a beautiful little bundle of joy into their family, and I was happy to participate in their "Skip a Starbucks Day" event then. I held a contest and gave away prizes,… Continue reading Skip a Starbucks Day!
A Scene from ASSASSIN
...which I probably promised you MONTHS ago! Bear with me, folks. I'm a damn busy woman. So, here's a second scene from Assassin: Book 2 in the Kick-Ass Girls Club series. The first part is here and this one is actually from chapter 2 of Assassin. ______________________________________________________ I’ve only been dating Killian for a few… Continue reading A Scene from ASSASSIN
Why Kick-Ass Heroines Need to Exist
Are you waiting for Prince Charming to come rescue you from your common life? Why? Do you need to be rescued? We have raised generations of girls who think this way, and I'll admit that after being raised on Disney stories about princesses being rescued from whatever fate held them back, I was one of… Continue reading Why Kick-Ass Heroines Need to Exist
It’s a Techie World
...and apparently us techies can't operate a two-way radio.
Let’s Face It…
I suck at blogging. I really, really do. And that's okay. I can admit it. That's a step forward, right? Of course it is because I'm not in denial about it. But this year, I'm making a few changes, mainly because I need to get myself organized again. Let's please not call them New Year's Resolutions. Those are only a To Do list that *may* last a month. The changes I'm talking about are long-term, because that's how I roll.
On New Beginnings
I said somewhere on social media recently that I've been trying to write this post for the past three weeks. Technically, I've had the idea and have been trying to write it for over a month, since I started my new job. Or really, since I found out I'd gotten hired. This should show you… Continue reading On New Beginnings
Reworking the Olde
One of the hardest things for an author to do is rework an old story, one that's been sitting on the shelf gathering dust for years. The reason this is difficult is because your writing has vastly improved over the years, and to go back and fix all of your mistakes takes not only an outsider's perspective on the story, which is difficult in itself, but also a sense of humility and courage. Even if you have an editor look at it, there's still so much wrong with it. So why bother? You bother with it because it's still a story you love, just as much as every one that flows from your fingertips, and you want to share that story.
