I’m very excited. I belong to Romance Writers of America. I joined years ago when I first made the decision to become a writer of romance. There is some credibility it gives you when you’re sending manuscripts out to agents and publishing houses. (Caveat: MANY talented and successful romance writers never join RWA.) The biggest reason [...]

Published September 27th, 2009 in Bragging, Reviews, Shifting Bonds and Tilling Passions. ClosedI’m very pleased with a couple of reviews I received over the last couple of weeks.

A Wee Bit O’Braggin’
Published July 5th, 2009 in Bragging, Liquid Silver Books, Reviews and shadows of fire. 5 CommentsAfter a crushing review the first week Hearts Afire-May was released, I’ve been on tenterhooks waiting for someone–ANYONE to say/write something about Shadows of Fire just so I could have another opinion. Really, this is one of those stories that when it was finished I sat back and went “hey, I wrote that … it’s a [...]
13 Reasons I just Didn’t
Published January 22nd, 2009 in Bragging, Thursday Thirteen and furry fluffy and wild. 16 CommentsI’m having one of those weeks when the stars seemed to have aligned to conspire against me. I’m behind in everything. This week I’m listing 13 reasons why I’m late with the blog and why there are no pictures to go with it! 1. Some stooopid virus seems to have infected my computer and it [...]
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY NINA! I’m doing a little bragging this week. A year ago the end of November, I started this blog. I had been writing about 2 1/2 years full time at that point and had my first contract. I had no idea what 2008 would bring. I had no idea I’d find such good friends at [...]
Kissing my Thursday
Published October 8th, 2008 in Bragging, Conventions, Thursday Thirteen and Writing. 22 CommentsLast weekend I went to Portland, Maine to attend the Kiss of Death writer’s retreat. The KOD chapter of RWA is focused on the suspense and mystery aspects of writing. It was in my backyard … how could I not attend? Now, I gotta tell you, it was wonderful. I don’t do conferences well, they often [...]

How it All Came Together
Published August 27th, 2008 in Blurbs, Books, Bragging, Contracts and Liquid Silver Books. ClosedI’d like to say it was easy writing my latest story. I’d like to say the words just flowed onto the page. I’d like to say there was no frustration, or throwing of pens, or late nights… But that ain’t the case! LOL! I worked and pushed and forced myself to put sentences together to [...]
Welcome Liquid Silver Books!
Published August 25th, 2008 in Bragging, Guest Blogging and Liquid Silver Books. 26 CommentsI make no secrets over the fact that I absolutely loooove my publisher, Liquid Silver Books. It was a year ago this week they offered me my first contract and I am so happy we found each other! We’ve been through a lot since then. It’s been an amazing ride and I look forward to [...]
Flying High on Research!
Published August 24th, 2008 in Bragging, Fun, Husband and Research. 2 CommentsOkay, the fact is, I love doing research for my stories. I’ve talked to retired FBI agents, a detective, an architect, and firefighters. I’ve visited police stations, newspaper offices, and fire stations. It’s amazing the places I get to see when I explain I’d like to use the information in a book. I love it. [...]
