Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for all the encouragement last week! I’m sorry I got so down, but it happens sometimes, and I’m trying to keep my road to getting my books published real. You get to see the ups and sadly the downs. But on to happier things! I’ve been making progress on the new book, Moonlight, and I’m very excited about the way it’s going. I feel like it’s really moving along now. Also, in July I’ll be heading to Washington DC for the National RWA writing conference. … Read More

Best-Selling Life — New Short Fiction!
Hi everyone – Thanks SO much for stopping by my anniversary blog last week! It was great to hear from so many of you again!

We did an interview with Ray Bradbury before he came down to San Diego for a writing seminar. When he came to… Read More
Little White Lie — New Short Fiction
Hi Everyone – I had a crazy week, but I did get the revised version of Night Walker to the one agent and then a different agent requested the full manuscript of the original version!

Then I found the Oliver Wendell Holmes quote and it all fell together. I couldn’t work in the Men are from Mars and Women are from… Read More

Happy Easter to those who celebrate! I hope you had a great weekend! I spent the entire weekend buried in edits on Night Walker.

I had to rework the beginning which ended up changing other things along the way, but I’m almost finished… Shew! Huge thanks to Ken for proofreading for me all weekend! *HUGS* So with all the revising, I barely had time… Read More
