I'm an author of ST Romance, sensual Romance and various fiction. In my real life, I'm a wife, mother, G mother, unrepentant coffee and chocolate addict, oh, and I love to read, anything from romance to fantasy, Bios and history. Love all sorts of music, too. On a good day I'm laid back and amusing, on a bad one, I'm running in every direction at once (that's the coffee and chocolate lol).

Sometimes I get these questions so I'm going to answer a few here. Do I write my own blurbs? Yes, with the exception of the five books with other e-pubs, those I wrote the org blurb and their (editor) re-wrote and changed them. (They have the last say, lol) All the books I own exclusive (all rights) at Alinar and Air castle, I wrote those blurbs) If you want to know who taught me to write blurbs Author Suzanne McMinn on my side blog, back in the day when I came on line (to the Harly boards as a newbie) The woman knows her happy hooker stuff, and she also taught me to write query letters. (Although, every agent prolly wants a different tone and style, (In a mail-email pitch) so, the best a writer can do is be short, sweet and hopefully give all the info needed)

I finished the last scene of the longer conteporary Novella. (Thunk!) I took word off and reinstalled, and did a restore point- trying to figure out what the crap is up with the thing... and still no luck. It's making me daft trying to polish and edit when I cant get the quote marks and spaces right. Maybe I'm just brain fatigued.
Anyway, that is, the other sexy short Novella is done, fin-net-toe, and I think I've done all I can to the other bigger one and-- will have to get it to proofer who doesn't have screwed up word and works settings :) I also looked at the short para/fantasy and it looks good (except for those darn backward quotes) so three finished. I ran a scan of my Amaranthine UF series, and decided it was so massively complex that no way could I edit and polish it until a ... >> full...

I dig James Clemens/ James Rollins Shadowfall series- My son is still trying to get me to finish Wtchfire but I've been busy. Anyhoo, here he mentions his 50 rejections. Yes, he makes learning to write seem easy, but I still think it is an interesting interview http://writersdigest.com/article/james-rollins/
Some insight into writing romance, or rather, what romance is, and some stats on who reads it yada http://writersdigest.com/article/on-writing-romance-excerpt/
http://writersdigest.com/article/Bullies_Interview/ Portraying the bad guys, and girls (the tough ones) and I like this part of the advice for writers "I meet a lot of writers and often hear them parrot advice they’ve heard over the years like “you should never use flashbacks.” Much of this advice is nonsense or misunderstood so I’m trying to steer writers toward some sensible middle ground, trying to explain how to apply craft. At the same time I also urge writers to take risks—not every protagonist needs to be ... >> full...

DS brought me A FEAST FOR CROWS, BY GEORGE RR MARTIN- big novel. lol. We've been waiting for his next in the series we both read but this one introduces new characters- and at 1000 pages, I'm going to have to settle in when I read it, because I like to read books all the way through, in one or two sittings. I've been chomping at the bit waiting to see my fav character again from the first books (A song of Ice and Fire) but I understand how he writes, or so DS tells me, so I'm just going to have to keep waiting.
I've almost finished reading the Kent novel I bought yesterday, the Brava. (It must have been a series and I missed something) so when I'm finished writing the end of my contemporary, I'll go look that up.
DS and wife were raving about books-a-million, which recently ... >> full...

Scandals in silk.

You will allow him...to guard me?” Lady Bron Myric sputtered in outrage at her family, Lord John Raven Myric, Marquis of Weldon, Xavier Myric Viscount Brindle, and her father, Darios Myric, Duke of Moorland.
Although, her eyes went to that blasted Pirate, Desalle, her brother’s friend, whom she had hoped had gotten the message loud and clear what she’d thought of him.
Since she had met him, Bronte had insulted him, slapped his face, and the man actually had the gall to kiss her for that.
Well all right, it was an emotional moment. What he had done had helped her brother Xavier snap out of his self-torment. Still, she could hardly believe that Raven at least, knowing the man's debauched ways with females, his criminal inclinations, and ... >> full...
