Molding the Manuscript
I wanted to talk a little bit about the construction and shaping of a manuscript. Why? Because I can honestly tell you that when I started writing, I had no clue what I was doing. I knew I had to get from point A to point B in a certain amount of words. But that […]
Read the Rest »Let’s Hear it For Dee!!
Dee Tenorio is a super cool lady I’ve had the opportunity of chatting with a bunch on twitter and on the Harlequin subcare board. (which she hosts, which I think is super fantastic and techie of her in ways I cannot begin to understand) And she also makes book trailers!!! (something else which makes my […]
Read the Rest »Surrender To The Shiny
I did it. I was seduced by the shiny. I just ordered an iPad, a handy case and a blue tooth keyboard. I want it for the battery life, the portability and…and…it’s SO SHINY. I’ve tested it a bit, both in store and by taking advantage of my friend and fellow writer Lisa Hendrix, and […]
Read the Rest »Confidence
A funny thing, confidence. You have to have a measure of it to submit. Heck, you have to have a measure of it to sit down and write a book in the first place. But the thing about confidence (for me at least) is that it’s a fleeting thing, and easily upset. I’ve been told […]
Read the Rest »You Have To Be Published To Get Published…(And Other Things I Hear That Make My Head Explode)
I wanted to write this post because in my travels around Teh Interwebz I have seen a lot of disenchantment with the publishing industry. It’s all very rage against the machine. Fight that man. I see a lot of ‘it’s not fair…I don’t live in New York and I don’t have an Uncle in publishing’ […]
Read the Rest »Back to the Drawing Board…
Well, not completely, but back a chapter. I thought I new just what I was going to do with the Land Stud, but sadly, I was making him seem a bit morally questionable. And he’s better than that! He does not deserve me besmirching his character. Let me walk you through how I analyzed this, […]
Read the Rest »Orlando, Baby!!
I have booked my flight and it is now official, and I am going to RWA!! I’m so excited! I really hadn’t imagined getting to do this so soon. I am a heathen (in a very loose sense of the word) and I just joined RWA earlier this month and I’ve never been to a […]
Read the Rest »The Sisters Are Coming…
Some of you have heard our story…we met on the I Heart Presents blog after the Feel the Heat comp. We started commenting back and forth to each other and we just…clicked. Since then we’re had an online critique group that has provided not only amazing advice on writing, but great support as well. And […]
Read the Rest »Life After The Call
This blog post was requested by the very lovely Joanne Pibworth, and it was a really good idea. She asked me what life in general was like after The Call. And there’s a lot to write about on the subject, lemme tell ya! So I’ll try to cover it all, and if you have any […]
Read the Rest »His Virgin Acquisition…Covers!
Yay! I got my very first covers today!! And I have cover copy… Daring proposal… When Elaine gives her business presentation to Marco De Luca she thinks she can be cool, calm and collected. She’s wrong! The fierce tycoon can see straight through her shapeless suits and scraped-back hair to get right under her skin… […]
