Hello, readers. Please bear with me as I do a little “dear diary” thing. This (long) post is about my health, and my weight-loss goals in the near future. I also include some tools near the end that have helped me improve my diet in the past. Accountability is a positive force, and hey, it’s […]
My To-Read Shelf is Overflowing
Yet I still get so excited when I buy a new book! This post is inspired by an Amazon shipment of books that arrived yesterday. It contained two new books by one of my favorite authors, Carrie Vaughn — the author of the Kitty Norville series about Kitty the werewolf. She’s absolutely my favorite werewolf […]
Mid-Week Update: Get Out of Town!
I took my own advice, and got out of town. We spent the weekend in Central Oregon. (Over the mountains and through the woods to Grandma’s house we go!) Sunday night I even got to indulge in a kids-free cabin, a crackling fire, and time with my honey. I also got in some quality time […]
What’s Your Editing Quirk? Among Other Things
Today happens to be my 32nd birthday! Check out my birthday post for info on the giveaway I’m doing this week to celebrate, and my interview today on author Aine P. Massie’s blog House Millar. Once again, it’s been ten days since I checked in. That’s partially because I have little to update — I’ve […]

Charles Dickens’ 200th Birthday — and Serial Fiction
Today is the two hundredth anniversary of Charles Dickens’ birth. I learned something new about Dickens today — his work was originally published as serial fiction, in a variety of magazines, then later bound into books after all of the installments were out. Check out this PBS article for more on that. I’m intrigued by […]
Sunday Update: ROWers Take Care, and Take Heart
I did a bit of a disappearing act these last couple of weeks. It’s been hard to fit in anything but the essentials in life, and I’ve been admitting that and getting the rest I need to stay healthy instead of pushing all hours to get writing done. I got a few hundred words in […]

Quick Sunday Update
Howdy, fellow ROWers. I hope you all had a more successful week than I did. Sick kids and craziness at work sapped my energy. But I won’t waste your time with whining about what went wrong. The truth is, when I did sit down to write the next part of Flight, I found an issue […]
Reina Stowe’s New Story Twenty Questions and Giveaway
A couple of months ago, I interviewed erotic romance author Reina Stowe about her work in this post. Reina has just released her second story, titled Twenty Questions. Reina’s stories really catch you. Her characters feel real from the first scene, and by the time they get what they need, you’re really pulling for them. […]
