I have a dozen stories roaming around my head. Some pushing harder than others for dominance. Some simmering on the back burner of my mind (I bet you didn’t know my head was a Kenmore, did ya’? LMAO) And I keep getting new ones. I’m actually really looking forward to the travel part of my [...]

The only thing I love better than going on a trip, is coming home.
I am home. Just for a week, and then off next Sunday night to San Francisco. I bought pretty purple luggage in Las Vegas, and found the perfect dress. I also got cute new shoes. I am ready. This week’s plan is [...]

I’m headed off with all three of my kids in a few minutes for sunny SUNNY hot Las Vegas for the weekend. I have my advocacy class, the kids are visiting their father (Adrienne and Nick) and grandparents (Ruby.) I’m not looking forward to that sunny SUNNY hot part. But I am glad I get [...]
Sisters Between the Covers

Out of curiosity, I did a little research today as to the writing habits of a couple of prolific romance authors. Namely Nora Roberts and Christine Feehan.
According to my Google search, both write at least eight hours a day. Every day for Nora.
I read something else about Ms. Roberts that I found incredibly heartening. We [...]

San Francisco Here I Come

I just found out about the RWA Conference in San Francisco in two weeks. San Francisco is only about 600 miles from me. I know to some people 600 miles is far. But when you’ve lived in the vast, empty state of Nevada as long as I have, it doesn’t seem so bad. Especially when [...]
Keeper

I’ve been offered a contract for my novella, Keeper, by Pink Petal Books.
To say I’m happy would be the understatement of the century. I’m not sure I can even describe how I feel. Amazing.
More later. Today…I celebrate!
Beautiful

Days like today, I wonder why it took me so long to leave Las Vegas.
According to Google it’s 68 degrees here. It’s not raining, but it smells like rain. You know that yummy smell they try to make candles smell like but always fail? I’ve lived in the desert for so long that rain-smell is [...]

with all my kids gone, that I’d have tons of time for things like writing in my blog. HA! Double Ha!
The good news is that I’m about 2/3 done with the huge edit to my story. I’ve added about 5,000 words. It’s definitely a stronger story already and I’m really happy with the way the [...]
