Enjoy. ~~*~~ Damios lowered his head, capturing her exquisite lips in a kiss that was less a tender wish and more an urgent promise.

Nope, I'm not talking to authors...or at least not in the capacity of their jobs as writers. I'm wondering how people go about living their lives. Are you the type of person who gets up every day with a short range plan embedded inside a long range plan? Do you make lists, check each thing off as you move through your day, and feel either inadequate or proud at the end of the day according to how

Available now! ~~*~~  Her waist length hair was thick and straight, the strands flashing blue-black from the light of the moon overhead.Her feet were bare and she carried what looked like a white towel draped over her hands.

When you like a book, do you post a review for it? Many of us don't. For whatever reason, people who hate a book seem more inclined to review it than those who love it. This certainly hurts the author of the book getting all bad reviews, but it has the potential to harm readers long term too. Just as empty theaters kill any talk of a movie sequel, a trail of poor reviews without good ones to

Today's snippet is from my soon to be released paranormal novella, Cupid Only Rings Twice (January 27th, Musa Publishing -- Love Notes Anthology). Blurb: Rori Foster is too beautiful to find love.

Well, this year’s party was a challenge. Astra was late getting back from the North Pole. Seems she and Dialle broke the sleigh when delivering toys to all the good little boys and girls, something about a pair of giant panties getting caught up in the gears (2011 Free Read: The Year the Grinch Stole Santa), and, in retaliation, Ralphy and Bob the horny elf locked her into the Reindeer stables

Marissa O'Neill and Jurden Bailey share a past they don't remember, though it's haunted their dreams for a decade. In their teens, they encountered something powerful in a cave in Mexico, and it changed them forever. But it isn't until they meet again, years later, that they realize just how much they've changed. Suddenly they have powers -- super powers -- and they don't know how they're

Writing a book is like running over hot coals in bare feet while getting clocked on the head by your own muse, real life, publishers, reviewers, readers, and peers. Obstacles to success and mental health are too numerous to discuss here. So why should we join the gantlet ourselves? Why get in our own way? How, you ask, can you get in your own way as an author? Unfortunately it's all too easy.

Do you like Pepsi? Or Coke? Do you like Erotic? Or Sweet? If you found yourself in a room with ten people, six of them would probably prefer Coke. The other four would be die hard Pepsi drinkers. Three of them wouldn’t read a book unless it had tons of sexy scenes in it. Seven wouldn’t touch a book that didn’t focus more on the romance, or the plot. It doesn’t really matter what you like, not to

Turns out there’s more to geese than the prodigious production of green, slimy poop. Who knew?The road that leads to my house passes near a small pond with farm land across from it. Living on that pond is a fairly large gaggle of geese. What I’ve discovered is that, like their cousins the chickens, geese apparently feel the need to cross the road to get to the other side.

Okay, so yesterday I read the book, How I Sold 1 Million eBooks in 5 Months! by John Locke. (No, not the English philosopher John Locke…the other one!) I won’t tell you what I learned because the man deserves to make a profit from his work. Which means he needs to sell books, so I won’t give away any trade secrets here.

I made a decision last night that I'm feeling pretty good about. There's long been a discussion going on about whether providing free reads helps an author's sales/reputation or hurts it. I've been kind of teetering in the center of that discussion for a while. Last night, as I looked at my Goodreads ratings and realized that the ratings for my free reads were tanking my overall ratings for two

I'm currently reading a book by a writer who I really enjoy. He's a new writer to me and he features dogs in his mystery stories. His main character is fun and snarky, which, as those of you who know me probably realize, I definitely am in favor of #:0). However, there's one thing about his writing that is really annoying me.

Are your sales noticeably softer on Amazon UK vs US sales? Did you just think (like I did #:0) that those people in the UK just have different reading tastes than US readers? Snorf! I'm such a doof at times. Anyway, I think I figured out why that might be.

Rosy thought her biggest problem was finding a way to stand out from the crowd. Then she joined Environmental Club. Suddenly she had lots of new problems. Cute fairy dudes showing up everywhere…sick babies…murderous litter…and a secret place beneath the park, where she learned two things: one, her dad looks pretty good in a tunic, and two, life as a fairy can be a dangerous business!

They don't?No, for the most part, they really don't.In general, men don't write love scenes that resonate with women because they're wired differently than we are. Men are doers, women are feelers. Men form a task in their minds and set off to accomplish it. Insert tab A into slot B. Repeat for 30 seconds and then pop a beer and turn on sports.

Harry Vanderlinde liked to fancy himself something of an amateur sleuth. Harry based this belief on the fact that he read an average of 10 mystery novels a week. As a result of this extensive delving into slueth-dom, Harry could always find a mystery in his ordinary, rural Midwestern existence. So of course it was a natural thing for Harry to find himself wandering around Mary

I often tell people that my writing is mind candy and it's absolutely true. I don't solve any world problems with my books. But I'd like to think I make a bright spot in the reader's day and, to my way of thinking, that can be as important as creating the next great software or developing an effective new medicine. Happiness is medicine...maybe the most powerful medicine we know.People can live

Bobo chomped happily on the tall grass outside the pasture fence. His tiny, square teeth pulled and gnashed the juicy, green stalks unceasingly, as if he knew it would take a full day’s work to keep his enormous round belly in its perfect, pony-like condition. His little head rose from the fragrant grass only once all morning, and that was when they carried the body out of the barn to deposit

Years ago I started a cozy mystery entitled Deer John Doe. I didn't complete the book because I moved on to other genres and never came back to it. I thought it might be fun to share the book as a serial novel and complete it as I go. Deer John Doe is about a series of unexplained mysteries that occur on the property of a cantankerous and opinionated Octogenarian named Mary Agnes Hawthorne. Mary

I'm reading a book right now, written by a very popular indie published author, a man, who is a very talented writer. There's just one thing this writer doesn't do well (IMHO) and it's kind of an important thing. He doesn't know how to write in a female voice.This book is part of a series about a female police detective. I didn't realize when I started the book that the main character was a woman

As my friends in Minnesota are fond of sayin'... Ya! You betcha!I recently had a reader ask me if anybody had ever given me any flack for writing stories with black heroines in them. What she meant was... How does a white woman get away with writing about black people? I responded, not at all. Which was true. In the interests of full disclosure, yes, I am a white woman and I write sexy black

I thought I'd offer my two cents on a subject that comes up a LOT in the author community, negativity. Bad reviews, jealous authors, angry fans, and gossip sites that thrive on dissing others in the industry can all sap a writer's creative energy if he/she allows them to.I've made it a practice to avoid the negative energy from these sources as much as possible.I've left Yahoo groups with members

I'm currently writing a YA paranormal. In the process of researching the genre, I discovered that some of the more popular series are highly explicit sexually. Not adult fiction explicit, but for young adult readers, still pretty dang explicit. Those of you who know my work know that I write some erotic. So I'm not a complete prude. #:0) But, while I fully support a healthy sexual attitude in

The answer to this question would seem obvious, since sales and downloads of short books and free reads are over the top. Lots of stories from 5k to 15k are written, published, and purchased every day. The market would seem to support the idea that readers, and I'll throw reviewers into this mix too, like buying and reading shorter books.However, reader/reviewer feedback on these stories suggests

There's no doubt about it, ebooks are quickly becoming the new favorite for much of the reading public. Sales for digital media continue to climb, becoming an ever larger segment of the market. This is good news for ebook authors, creating much potential to build our sales and name recognition. During this exciting time, we writers are challenged to find new and better ways to promote our work.

I once listened to a famous author talk about taking risks in her books. She told a workshop full of readers that she sometimes scared the shit out of herself when she wrote certain scenes. This author had once taken the risk of killing off the heroine and then bringing her back as a ghost. She really made her fans mad with that one! That particular risk didn't pay off for her, but others she

Why do I like to read and write Fantasy fiction? Because, let's face it, it's pure, unadulterated fun! What better way to escape from real world woes, something we could all use a little more of in these challenging times, than immersing myself in a fantasy world, where the problems might be much bigger than mine, but I don't have to deal with them. I can just sit back and watch the hero and

Several people have expressed an interest in my recipe for Buckeyes. These yummy treats are a long-held tradition for my family, as well as a regional favorite in Indiana and Ohio. And the best part? They're soooooooo easy to make and incredibly delicious! Enjoy! 3 cups Rice Crispies 1 stick butter (or margerine) 2 cups smooth peanut butter 1 lb. box powdered sugar Mix all of the above

It's a romantic fantasy, which I intend to turn into a series, about a warrior race of spirits called Monads.

A couple of weeks ago a large part of my extended family met in the Outer Banks, North Carolina for a week of blessed togetherness (sarcasm). Twenty people of all ages and sizes squashed into a beautiful house on the beach. I’d like to say it went off without a hitch. But I’d be lying.

Was it that we would hate all those who had more money than we had? Less money than we had? A better job? A lesser job?

I'm sure you've all seen those studies about people and their pets...you know the one...where they show a picture of a bulldog being led around by a short, wide man with a smashed in nose and fat cheeks. Is it true? Does our choice of pet...or lack thereof...reflect our personalities (or our

There are eight of them. They have names that should have died along with the old English Lords who inspired them. Each one weirder than the last...Alastair, Percival, Clovis, Alfric, Warwicke, Edric, Heathcliffe, and Godric. The boys believe the naming thing was their mother's revenge on their father with the birth of each successive son. Their names may be goofy but these guys are far from it
