Gosh. I have writer problems. I fit less neatly into boxes than readers like. I can’t seem to control my need to blend these two genres. My fiction is almost as messy as real life. *wink* I love romance and read a lot of romance; the structure is very pleasing to my writer brain, but […]
Hey there! I hope this lovely holiday season is developing nicely for you. We’re happily making our holiday gifts, brainstorming ideas, getting the calendar squared away (huge, huge family) and probably already eating too much in the process.

My books are finally back up on Kobo. This was kind of an arduous process. Delisting from Smashwords seems to take FOREVER. And then Writing Life took like eight days to actually activate the title after I added it to their site. I didn’t count, so that might not be fair. But I have NO […]
