Ok, having read Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and now Breaking Dawn, I think as a writer I’ve figured out why readers are hooked on Stephenie Meyer’s books like addicts on book crack.
While Edward is a vampire, and that just brings in a whole slew of readers right there, he’s also got the whole bad-boy-who’s-still-safe thing […]
If you’ve seen the play Wicked or read any of the alternatives stories to The Wizard of Oz, then you know that Dorothy didn’t borrow those ruby slippers—she stole them.
The same thing is happening just as innocently (or not) at a site called esnips.com which has allowed the posting of entire copyrighted books […]
I’m a busy person. Most of us are. We have lives (ok most of us have lives). A lot of my friends seem very mystified by the whole process of writing a book in the first place. Making tea, they get. Including chocolate dougnuts with tea they get even better. […]
Since this time last year, I was overwhelmed with the process of being an American Title II finalist, it beehoves me to annouce and welcome the American Title III finalists to our little sisterhood of insanity.
This year’s ATIII finalists are:
Kim Howe – ONE SHOT, TWO KILLS
Meretta Pater – RISING SIN
Jenny Gardiner – SLEEPING WITH WARD […]
There are things we all love to do. But some of those things can be dangerous for you, even outright deadly.
I found this out first hand during an innocent trip to run the ATVs (that’s four-wheelers for those who aren’t addicted) on the sand dunes with my family the last weekend of summer vacation.

OK, I’ve been a very bad, bad blogger, and I hereby apologize. I’ve had just a bit on my plate since I sold my first book!
There has been disaster (my computer going on the complete fritz for nearly two weeks and emerging from the computer doctor’s with a new memory and hard […]
OK, now that I’ve officially been booted off the stage in the American Title 2 Competition, I can tell you about it!
Honestly, I would have said something sooner, but there is an entire process at work where finalists aren’t allowed to reveal the results until the next round of voting begins.
Wow, what a […]
It’s snowing! OK, I realize for many of you this is no big deal, but here in the Pacific Northwest near Seattle, it rarely snows (read once every five years you get a two-day dusting). So the kids are out of school today, I’m in working and I get the idea […]
OMG, I know that dreams are possible when I talk with Janice Lynn, winner of last year’s American Title contest. I mean really real. Just like me, Janice entered a contest. Just like me she went through the voting process. I hope, just like her, I end up with a contract!

Thought for today: We all have the same 24 hours of the day.
Question: What will you make of your time?
My mother would have been 58 today. Instead of getting to take her to lunch at the lovely little tea room in town she would have loved, I am remembering all the wonderful […]
