The final book in the Taming the Pack series is out!           She’s on the sheriff’s most wanted list. Waking up with a naked woman holding a knife at his throat is just about the last thing Sheriff Travis Flynn expected. And the brother she’s looking for? A murderer. And dead. Probably.

  My book “Crazy Over You” has a character with a rough history but a strong survival instinct and, right from the beginning, her point-of-view was easier and harder. I’m familiar with someone brushing the ugly side of sanity. In later edits when my editor suggested I add flashbacks for her, I was reluctant because I wasn’t quite sure how […]

  This post isn’t meant to argue over the legal/financial ownership of a book’s text and characters, but the thoughts and inferences made of characters and text. If I read Winnie the Pooh and decided that Christopher Robin was actually the imaginary friend and the entire book was a metaphor for the plight of bears in modern society, am I […]

For those unfamiliar with the term “woobie”: a woobie is a much-loved blanket that may have holes or stains or be far too small, but it gives one comfort in a chaotic world. Most of us had woobies as children. Some of us still have woobies as adults. *raises hand*     So, it seems to me like avid readers […]

  So, my story in the Accidental Valentine anthology is getting great reviews. Wanna know more? How about the first line? There were times when you just had to say “this is not acceptable, no matter how good you look in your jeans.” How about a few of my favorite lines? “You want to get dirty with me in the […]

  So, once upon a time, I wrote this short story about a paleontologist and a painter. It was a bit too…racy for me to ever put on this blog, but I loved it with all the love of a mother for a wild child who tells inappropriate jokes. Rock My Bones is in this anthology:   Accidental Valentine – […]
