		<title>A Thankful Heart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
     There are a lot of times as a writer where you shake your head and say, &#8220;Why me?&#8221; Like the time my publisher declared bankruptcy three weeks before my book was supposed to be on bookshelves, or the time I submitted several books to a publisher and received encouraging revision [...]]]></description>

		<title>How do you know you&#8217;re meant to be a writer?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
How do you know if you’re meant to be a writer? It’s really a valid question. Lord knows I’ve asked of myself enough times.
But really, how do you know? For me there have been points of clarity mixed with occasional thwacks upside the head to remind me. The first big point of clarity came in [...]]]></description>

		<title>RWA Perception &amp; E-Publishing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Normally I don&#8217;t talk about pr stuff on my author website. But something has crossed a huge line. And that something is RWA.
So pardon me as I put on my publicist&#8217;s hat for a moment and climb up on to the soapbox. Speaking from professional experience in corporate environments, it doesn&#8217;t matter what your company [...]]]></description>

		<title>What it Takes to Become Great</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Let&#8217;s face it. We all want something. And there&#8217;s nothing wrong with that.
But why is it that some people are this amazing bust out phenomenon and other people, are well, just plugging along?
I may not know everything, but what I have learned is this: becoming great is a marriage of many levels. It’s a marriage [...]]]></description>

		<title>NYT Bestseller &#8211; The Truth About Writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are really so many misconceptions about writers, what they make, how they do what they do, that it&#8217;s laughable.
Not all writers parade around in bunny slippers, dashing off a book in a weekend between watching reruns of Supernatural. And writers usually don&#8217;t make an astounding amount of money. Not even those that hit the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mother Nature Plays April Fools Too</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After one of the worst Winters in the Pacific Northwest since the 1860s, I&#8217;ve really been looking forward to Spring.
You know I was just beginning to think that Spring was really here. Near my house there is a wetland area and every year I wait to hear the chorus of tree frogs start up. That&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Writers Decide What to Write</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, really I should have said, what writers who want to get paid decide what to write.
The truth is if you pick up pen and put it to paper or type on your keyboard and create a story or an article, you are in fact a writer. But here&#8217;s the thing: if you want to [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Here! The Book is Out!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a writer nothing compares to actually seeing your book be released out into the wild. OK, perhaps that&#8217;s a little dramatic, it&#8217;s not like I&#8217;m raising tiger cubs here.
But I am excited! Twice now I&#8217;ve come so close (those of you who still ask me when The Spellbound Bride is coming out, I&#8217;m working [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Year, New Book, New Site</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, this year, I swear, I&#8217;ll be a better blogger. I&#8217;ve contemplated why I don&#8217;t blog very often. Mostly it&#8217;s because I spend all day at the keyboard as it is. Writing.
The other thing is I often wonder why people even bother to blog. Unless you&#8217;ve got a group (like we do at www.titlewave.blogspot.com) you [...]]]></description>
