Vauxhall Vixens

I don't know when I first hear about you or North and South . . . but I do remember when I first watched the movie on Youtube.And then you came into view.You fit the description of most romance heroes.Tall. Dark...

Can I say how happy I am to see the rear end of October. The whole month was about interference. It was like the world was conspiring against me to accomplish any single worthy task: in writing, at work, in life...

Thanks again to Anna Campbell for blogging with us yesterday!!! We loved having you, and it was such a great discussion.Anna has so graciously chosen the prize winners...

Hiya Vixens!!!! You’re all looking terrifically foxy today. But then, don’t you always?I always love visiting you girls when I’ve got a book out. I love visiting you when I haven’t got a book out! Perhaps I should start up a rival blog called Visiting Vauxhall Vixens? Or per...

I was very lucky this weekend to be able to take part in a getaway with a few other authors from my RWA Chapter. We rented a really nice little suite at a ski chalet in Collingwood...

Arghhhhh!I broke the seal. Everything was going so well. The WIP was coming along nicely, with me humming and smiling at my own most awesome brilliance. But then I stopped. Last week was a bad week--somebody died, kiddo got sick, we left to go away for the long weekend--and now I'm stuck...

Every day, Tiff, Maggs, Kris, and I e-mail each other--usually more than once--where we post our word counts for the day and often post a snippet from our current work. Usually I'm threatening people when they write too much...

If you didn't see the comments in yesterday's blog where Courtney Milan was giving away two copies of THE HEART OF CHRISTMAS, she wrote:Everyone, thanks so much for commenting! The winners are:SonomaLass and ms bookjunkie...

We Vixens are very good at throwing parties in the Dark Walk, especially when it comes to birthdays.Today is the birthday of Maggie Robinson (who also writes under the name of Margaret Rowe)!!!Happy Birthday, Maggie!!!! I guess it's okay to share men around here... what am I saying...

When I am writing, sometimes I surprise myself. I don’t mean that my characters “refuse” to do what I tell them, or even that my characters “act up.” My characters are words that I set on a page, and they will darn well do as I command. The prob...

Rwor. Need I say more? Thanks to my Twitter friend, Gwen Hayes, for giving me this link.
