I've been working on Stupid in Love for a few months now and had a vague idea of where it was going but that isn't new. I don't storyboard, I write spontaneously. I discover more about my characters that way. I like giving them the freedom to tell me who they are, and...

It's taken me this long to get a new web person on board. Now that my page is updated, I'm reconnecting with my subscribers. I'll make this short and sweet...I've got a new series out, titled Women of Eden, and my third book has just been published. I hope you'll take...

I've begun the fifth book in my Greenliner's series, a bit of an escape from Eden, and am knee deep in tutus and plies. As I started generating ideas, I got hooked on the story, to the point that several storylines began to form, none of them planned or wanted. Do I...

I've begun my next series, Women of Eden, and the first female lead is Jord Sheafson. Anyone who's read my Everyday Goddesses series has already met Jord. She's Miko's friend, and a house preservationist, who takes classic homes and restores them to their former...

I completed the first draft of Sweetwater Stables yesterday and although there's plenty of work yet to do, it's bittersweet. Hina's story is the last in the original eight goddesses stories I embarked on last year. I've come to love these women and don't want to leave...

I'm ready to shift tracks and head in a new direction, hopping aboard the marketing train, bound and determined to improve my skills. I've contacted another person to build a new website and maintain it so my newly published books will make it to the page and I'm...
