"The Voice, The Characters & The Plot"

I’m feeling sentimental today, talking about a childhood friendship on Teen Fiction Cafe. And a little creative…I’ll probably be changing my blog temp today. It won’t match my site, but that’s okay. Also I’ve been thinking about a blog post I read o

"Invisible Touch Release Date"

I’ve been quiet for a few days because I had a little incident with my next novel, Invisible Touch. There has been a delay in the publication due to a printing error. Invisible Touch will now be released on October 14th instead of September. I had this long drawn out post about

"Advice"

I’m going to point you to Joe Konrath’s latest blog entry, “Brain-Check”. His post couldn’t have hit more home with me as of late. There really is no sure formula for writing success. This is my second year as a published author and I’ve been faced

"The Tough Stuff"

I feel like I don’t have anything interesting to say, that’s why the lack of blogs here. I actually have a ton of things of my mind about my writing. (Also, I still have RWA conference stuff to share.) But I just can’t ignore the good ol’ ups and downs of writi

"Breaking Records"

I’m taking a break from RWA pics because my head is literally jerking back and forth from the aftermath of Stephenie Meyers’s Breaking Dawn, the last book in the Twilight series. It’s #1 on Amazon in books, it released August 2nd, and already has over 1700 reviews. O

"RWA: Day 1"

For some reason I still feel like I’m recuperating from the conference. At this rate I won’t be back to normal for a week! I’ve loaded some pics from Wednesday, the first day of conference. The day started off with sightseeing with the family. We always make it a sma

"Back Home & Relieved"

I’m back home, and so relieved. Staying practically a week at a hotel with several events going on is exhausting. Mostly because you don’t sleep well, and my nerves were constantly hoppin’. haha. So I didn’t pick up a RITA this year, but having it go to a NY Ti
