Encouragement
This post has been on my mind recently, but I wasn’t really sure how to write it down, or what to say. So I’m just going to give it my best shot. I know a number of women in this business who have children with special needs. I can count up, very quickly, five of […]
Read the Rest »Don’t Let the Beginning End You
(That was a pun. Do I lose clever points for telling you all that?) All right, here is my promised post on beginnings. I’m going to open with full disclosure: Beginnings are hard. You have a lot of things to accomplish with the beginning of a manuscript. The biggest thing is getting an editor or […]
Read the Rest »Put on Your Seatbelt
I got two different requests for posts today, both were REALLY good. So, tomorrow I’ll blog about writing a beginning, and today, we’re going to talk productivity. I’ll say now, my idea of productivity is my own. I already know several people think I’m insane, and that what I do isn’t the right way to […]
Read the Rest »We Interrupt This Blog…Again
Because The Inherited Bride made #132 on the USA Today Bestseller list this week!! *does a dance* (it’s a cool dance. I wish you all could have seen it) It’s so…SO exciting to see my name up on the that list. So. Sososo. And I love the little one line descriptions they leave for each […]
Read the Rest »The Highest Price to Pay…Cover!
I am pleased, like so, so so pleased…to unveil the cover for The Highest Price to Pay! (The Frenchman, if you’re following along here on the blog.) This book was a pain to write. Both times. And I loved it. Both times. And it’s even more thrilling because M&B have made it their Book of […]
Read the Rest »Writing For Presents: Heroines
I sort of feel like I could go through the heroes post and replace my pronouns. Because, and I’ll give my bottom line away from the get go: It is ALL about character. Character motivation and execution. Just like heroes, I believe there are very few limitations when it comes to heroines. Sandra Marton writes […]
Read the Rest »Sold: The World’s Most Terrifying Manuscript
My editor (who showed amazing, lighting fast reflexes!) has gotten back to me on Beast Sheikh and she loved the revisions! I’m very pleased to say that’s Presents #8 accepted! I can’t believe that’s eight already…I love my job. I really do. And very pleased to say I get to focus all of my attention […]
Read the Rest »Writing For Presents: Heroes
This is a hard post to write (haha…I said hard…get your giggles out now kids.) because when it comes to character, I truly believe there are a lot more options than a lot of people think. I see SO much STUFF on message boards about those ALPHA MALES. Oh, how people HATE them. Oh, they […]
Read the Rest »Cover Parade and New Releases
I’m polishing up Beast Sheikh to send him back to my editor tonight, after which I will be hunkering down for some serious quality time with Hot Rod. (I have SO many men in my life! 😉 ) But, before I do, just a reminder, The Inherited Bride will be available in North American stores […]
Read the Rest »Maisey Yates Meets the World’s Most Terrifying Manuscript Again or…Beast Sheikh News
Or…why you have to embrace the fear. You remember I was talking about how much this MS skerred me. Because I was trying something that felt like a major gamble, at least in my mind. I was afraid my editor was going to read the MS and say…send us a hero who’s not so freaking […]
