The Nemesis Playlist

Most of this post was originally published on Derek Hawkins' blog Brain Drippings. When I first started writing Nemesis, and pretty much any book before it, I didn't listen to music like most writers do. I have ADD, so I'm distracted quite easily. I needed total solitude and mostly silence, so I sat outside on… Continue reading The Nemesis Playlist

What is Your Passion?

Today, I welcome a good friend, fellow writer and author, and just an awesome gal all around, Missy Jane, and she is going to discuss her passion(s). Makes sense, right? Romance author = passion. I mean, hell, look at that HOT cover below! *ahem* Take it away, Missy! It’s a given that writers are also… Continue reading What is Your Passion?

Cake or Death?

I thought I'd start this post with a little Eddie Izzard, one of my favorite comedians, and this is my favorite part of that particular skit.

Birthday Month Book Blog Tour

Since it's my birthday next month, and since I'm releasing my book Nemesis on my birthday, I thought I'd make the blog tour last the entire month of June . . . if I can find enough people to host me. That is essentially what this post is about. It's a call to all of my friends,… Continue reading Birthday Month Book Blog Tour

Yes, It’s Friday

And I don't have a recipe for you. I'm sorry. My life has been in upheaval lately and I haven't been cooking a lot. Not to mention the flood in my apartment the other day. I think Harold Camping's prediction was just a few days too early because between the tornadoes ravaging the Mid-West and… Continue reading Yes, It’s Friday

So, Here’s the Deal . . .

I've been editing Nemesis like crazy . . . okay, that might not be true because I've been dealing with mammograms, ultrasounds (both came back fine), CT scans of my head (no, it is NOT empty, just as y'all believed), and the new development of migraines because I've had one for the past two weeks. Seriously?… Continue reading So, Here’s the Deal . . .

A Good Cause

Dearest Readers, I'm postponing this week's recipe post because this is more important. You all know the troubles I've faced these past couple of years. Several of you have helped me in many ways, from financial support to emotional support, and I've thanked you countless times for your generosity and caring. I'm asking you once… Continue reading A Good Cause
