I’ve been sitting here for ages wondering what to blog about. I’ve even been going through the Samhain Blog, seeing what other bloggers have written – so I can get some ideas, and I’ve notice a couple of people have used videos in their posts. Well, that got me thinking. I’ve s...

When my editor Sasha put out her call for a space opera anthology, I strangely enough started thinking about a story idea that I’d gotten several years ago. One that had absolutely nothing to with space. ...

My love affair with hot and hunky Mediterranean men shows no signs of abating, at least as far as fiction goes. Hubby is an Englishman and equally hot and hunky (have to mention that, cos he might be reading this), but a girl still needs her fantasies. Raul Stregone is one of mine...

When I first started editing for Samhain, I was doing it because I enjoy to read and edit, and I thought it’d be a great way to earn some extra spending cash. That was all fine and dandy until I started to learn more and more about Samhain and digital publishing. ...

I am curious about a few things.....

-Do digital publishers then get approached directly by those looking to get published?

-Do digital publications include getting put on Kindle and other electronic reading formats? Are those proprietary? Are they another form a rights to be negotiated?... See More




I am currently revising a novel I've been working on this month. I hope to be done by December, but I will be looking to send out query letters to see if I can get it published. If you have any comments or resources that you can point me to, I'd appreciate it.

thanks!

So, finally Ilfayne’s Bane is out in print – and not only that, it’s reached the finals in the 2010 EPIC awards! An...

To say I’m thrilled is the understatement of the century. On the 1st of November, Only Tyler, the first book in the Circle of Friends series released in print. I nearly cried when I held the book for the first time. The cover looked gorgeous on the ebook. ...

I find it interesting at times to hear people talk about their lack of creativity, their inability to create something wonderful, their logical mindset that keeps them from seeing possibilities.I have to admit that I used to say similar things, but then one day it hit me that I was creative...

While I think ultimately anyone is capable of being creative, I think it can take some work...but the good news is that it gets easier with practice.

I think what can work against creativity is a combination of getting used to following rules and getting caught up with how things are 'supposed to be.' Being responsible, making sure things get done as quickly as possible, keeping things tidy, etc....they can numb the creative mind. Being creative, at least as I see it sometimes, is breaking the rules...or bending of them...putting things together that don't necessarily go together...trying something new...it sometimes can be the willingness to take longer...and be messy...it's challenging the rules....and that, by itself, can make people uncomfortable....

I think being able to keep in touch with the child-like viewpoint, see something as it is..rather than how we are trained to see it....that is creativity.... See More

Um… did she say worms? Well, yeah, I did. One of my writing buddies shared a new term with me the other day: “earworms”. I’d...

If you didn’t quite realize it from the loops of Christmas music in the stores or the commercials on T.V., the holidays are here! You know what that means. Food. Glorious food. ...

Recently I was reading a book—a romance of course—which was fairly well written and had a good plot hook. I was looking forward to sinking into the pages (or onto the screen) and thoroughly enjoying myself. Th...

My brother recently called me on the phone to inform me he’d read my book. Now my brother doesn’t read romance. He reads science fiction and military books, but not “chick books” as he calls them. And yet, he read my books. Which says a lot about my brother, I think. He ...

I want a dog. Not a big one, just one that’ll lie at my feet and keep them warm, or one I can pull up onto my lap and pet. A cat would do too – but it would have to be a cuddly one. Hmm, from what I’ve seen of cats, that’s not so likely. Cats are much more independent. I’ve...

As a writer, I know the value of words. How words have the ability to take us places we’ve never been before—to share laughter and bring respite during times of sadness and pain. Some words help us remember. ...

Delayed gratification has its place. This wouldn’t be it. Only In My Dreams was the hardest Puma novella I’ve written. At first, I just couldn’t quite get across why Gabe made the choices that he did, or how Sarah was supposed to react to them. I be...
