This is a post on how to treat your favorite ebook authors like rockstars. *blinks* What’s that? Did you ask if this post is a little self-serving since I just had an ebook come out? *scoffs* *sputters* *shuffles feet* You know what? Go to your room! *coughs* *clears throat* Okay. Now, where were we? I specified ebook authors because […]

      With a series coming out, I haven’t really had time to chill out and celebrate the first one coming out. Especially since I’ve been working on editing the second one in the Taming the Pack series. Working on the second one has had the song Lil Red Riding Hood by Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs stuck […]

    I have the sentence above on a T-shirt, and every time I wear it, it elicits comments, but probably not what you’d suspect… There’s no trademark or anything else. Just those words. And people stop me to ask, “You’re talking about *insert movie name* aren’t you?” The most frequent guesses are Harry Potter and Twilight. (I bought my […]

At some time in a girl’s life, there comes a point where you stare at a book, and you want it to be good–you want every book to be good. No, I’m wrong, you want every book to be great–to take you away or speak to your soul. The book you’re reading, however, is not good. Or maybe it’s good, […]

  I just read the weirdest thing…possibly the biggest piece of fiction ever set to paper. I did a double take and thought, “The $#@% you say!” It was a bold-faced lie…right there…in legalese. Ready for it? Here it is–just as I read it: All characters in this book have no existence outside the imagination of the author and have […]

  I’m now a Sci-fi author, and here’s how it happened: My first brush with Sci-fi was most likely with Star Trek–the original Star Trek. My parents are old school Trekkies. I can’t remember a time when I hadn’t known of the crew of the Starship Enterprise, so I assume it started from the cradle. I remember walking in and […]

  Below are books where one of the main characters is considered to be flawed in some way by themselves or by society to a degree that they feel unlovable. They have various levels of obstacles to overcome, but I’m drawn to characters who have more than situations requiring growth, and I heart love stories off the beaten path. I’ve […]

  It starts with this urge…a strong urge, but then I indulge, and it becomes an obsession. Feeding it doesn’t seem to sate it until I’m so far past normal consumption. While this could easily be a reference to my love affair with brownies, it’s not. It’s about books…and my book binges. It’s not just reading itself that justifies the […]

  In the busy rush of today, I nearly skipped grabbing soup from the cafe near my allergist’s office. (A treat that I value in light of the fact that I’m sick of allergy shots.) Then, I saw they had Jambalaya. I can’t eat Jambalaya without thinking of New Orleans…and thus I can’t pass up a chance at Jambalaya. Few […]

      So, I just ran across one of my biggest peeves* for storylines–one that makes me long to throw a book. And it’s one of many, but here are some of mine, mostly in the romance genre, starting with the one that inspired this post: 1. A love triangle that is resolved not by the hero or heroine […]
