Read the Rest »What Danger Has Taught Me About Taking it a Day At a Time
And by Danger, I don’t mean peril. I mean my four-year-old-tomorrow son that I call Danger online. For those of you who don’t know anything about Danger, I’ll fill you in. He’s been in early intervention for Autism since he was two. He’s still mostly non-verbal. He likes to read and sing, and sometimes escape. […]
Read the Rest »Celebration and a Beast Sheikh
So, here it is, the eve of my two year Calliversary. I will never, ever ever forget that morning, December 1st 2009, when I got the email from my editor asking if she could call me and chat about the manuscript I had on submission. I had done three rounds of revisions, and had been […]
Read the Rest »Seven Habits of Highly Effective Black Moments
Hero Torture and high stakes. I’ve talked about that a lot on this blog. Because, you know, I’m sadistic and I enjoy it. The alpha hero is a staple of the Presents/Modern line and I think one of the major attractions to these strong heroes is watching them get the rug pulled out from under […]
Read the Rest »The Petrov Proposal
I got Large Print editions of The Petrov Proposal in the mail today! (February 2012 US!) That means I got to see the cover copy for the first time. And now I’ll share it with you! Breaking the Russian’s rules! The first time Maddy Forrester heard her boss’s mesmerizing voice barking orders down the phone, […]
Read the Rest »Affirm me!
There are essentially two types of creatives. (I am stereotyping and making a blanket statement here..but hey, there’s a reason people do that. It’s simpler.) There are those who believe every idea they have is straw spun into gold. If you unrolled all the hubris coiled up inside them it would stretch around the globe […]
Read the Rest »Musings and My Thanks
I happened to mention over the weekend (On Twitter, on Saturday night while I watched The Oregon Ducks pwn Stanford) that I’d heard M&B had received some negative feedback about the cover (and one would assume the content…not the story but the hero and heroine and the fact they were of different races) of The […]
Read the Rest »Zen and the Art of Writing Short
I lied. There is no zen. I am many things, but zen is rarely one of them. Unless there is a zen practice that touts eating cookies, watching sitcoms and wailing to all and sundry about your problems. Cuz I do that. But I will talk about writing short. Well, writing short contemporaries anyway, but […]
Read the Rest »High Stakes, Tortured Characters and My Untouched Hero
First off, I am delighted to share with you that my Untouched Hero (book one of my currently titled Kyonos Royals duet) has sold! (This makes Presents #12, egads!) I also submitted #13, and book two in the duet to my editor yesterday so am right back on the waiting train! Julia Broadbooks, Alexa Fiennes, […]
Read the Rest »Paranoia Jones and My Attempt At Rational Thought
My altar ego is out in full force. Paranoia Jones is in the building. I mean paranoia like whoa. Like, every time my email chimes I jump like a scared little rabbit. I think it’s a common affliction for us easily spooked and needy writers. You might even know the drill. You finish polishing up […]
