Today we’re officially halfway through the year. Six months have passed and there are six months to go. Over the last week many of us have been exclaiming how it seems unbelievable that half a year has already passed and “how can we be here already?” We had the same conversation last year. And the…

I wanted to share some good news on my writing front over the past two weeks. Transmundane Press, who I had the pleasure of working with before in their mammoth “After the Happily Ever After” anthology, has picked up my odd tale called “The Only One Alive” for their Transcendent anthology. Release date is TBA,…

I became interested in the whole “cocky” fiasco as soon as I became aware of it. I followed the hashtag to the fast-moving Twitter thread #cockygate and have kept track of the whole mess mostly through that hashtag. As a writer I am alarmed on many levels. That this, and other words, which are in…

I don’t write books about royals. These days the only contemporary stories I write are my sweet novellas for Roane Publishing. So it came as a surprise to me that I got swept up in Harry and Meghan fever. I didn’t expect it. At first I noticed it in passing as Harry and Meghan became…

Recently there has been a lot of activity around an author’s (for the moment) successful attempt to trademark a common word in romance fiction. The word—cocky—is used in many romances to denote a type of brash, arrogant hero who has the world by the tail and knows it. It’s not my preferred type of romance…

Guess what? That actually happens. From where I live to where I work is twelve miles. It usually takes me an…

Hi, all: This weekend I attended the Los Angeles Festival of Books for the first time. I’ve been meaning to go for years but somehow when it came time to go I bailed. That’s the problem of having too many choices in Los Angeles! This year, however, as the President of Los Angeles Romance Authors…

Good morning, all! I am pleased to announced that my clean contemporary romance novella Spring Water, which is included in Roane Publishing’s latest in their seasonal collection, drops today. This anthology is set in the springtime and is titled One Sweet Morning.  I always enjoy writing stories set in my former city of Boston, and this novella…

Hi, all: Thanks for being patient as I work through the edits on Water Fall. I promise it will be worth the wait! Ondine’s story is really taking shape under my sharp-eyed editor’s guidance. Just when you think you’re done… I am also almost done with edits on Shifting Auras, the first in my Soul Mate…

Recently there was a story that broke in the indie publishing world about a cover artist who was accused of stealing art for her work. The upshot is that an online group of people sent private messages to this cover artist, called her awful swear words and suggested that she kill herself. Which she then…
