I can’t help it. I’m a Twi-hard. Okay, new term that I don’t like, but the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer … LOOOOVE! There are people who can’t get through the books and the usual assortment of nay-sayers, but I don’t happen to be one of them. I enjoyed every single one of the stories [...]

I’ll finish out this week of marketing tips talking about actual promotion type “things”. Last year at Ellora Cave’s Romanticon a reader said, “I think of a promotional item from an author as a gift. And I really appreciate it.” Wow. I mean, wow, did that ever resonate with me. I may be trying to [...]
Okay I’m going to admit it. I LOVE the male torso. There is nothing sexier than those deep ridges accenting a sculpted abdomen. Can’t you just imagine running your hands over all the warm skin or better yet…licking along every rise and fall? No? Well maybe it’s just me and maybe it’s because I’ve become [...]
So this week is the celebration of reading in the bathroom. I gotta tell you, this soooo isn’t in a “woman’s” thing in my opinion. Woman pop into the bathroom in hopes of having at least two minutes to do their thing before someone knocks and yells “Moooooom”. Trust me when I tell you children [...]
I’m getting ready to fly out to Ohio for Lori Foster’s Get-Together this weekend. To say I’m nervous about traveling is an understatement. It has nothing to do with flying, I love flying. It’s the whole MS mobility issue thing. I worry about getting around the airport and the hotel and a whole bunch of [...]
I fuss about them. I wait anxiously for them. I hold my breath as my computer connects to the site, wondering what I’ll find when I get there. What am I talking about? Reviews. Yep those little blurbs that come with numbered stars (or ribbons or books or tombs). I read them ALL. And of [...]
Okay, I’m going to admit it. I’m addicted to reality television. I know it’s a fad like so many other things that networks grab on to and barf out ad nauseum because it’s making them money, but I’m not sure this one is going away. And you know what? I don’t mind. I’m addicted. The [...]
So I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Not exactly sure why, but I’ve given up trying to figure out why my brain goes where it goes. Anyway, the question is … Can an author write any genre without upsetting readers? To clarify, what I’m wondering is … Can a man write romance women [...]
What’s Write?
Published April 5th, 2010 in Curiosity, Ramblings, Touch of Lilly and Writing. 18 CommentsSo, it’s the question I ask myself every time I sit down at the computer with the intention of writing my next story. Do I write something that’s hot with the market or the story that’s rolling in my head? And trust me when I say … they’re not usually the same. Now, let me [...]
Purity Gives over to Creativity
Published March 24th, 2010 in Curiosity, Point of View and Writing. 12 CommentsI didn’t know. How could I? I was just an innocent reader floating along on the river of the story the author chose to weave. I was happily ignorant. But not now. Now I’m a writer. I’m learning all those “don’ts” that come with writing a story. Don’t blather. Don’t name characters with no purpose. [...]
