The Power of Duct Tape

I love Romcom. I love to laugh and make others laugh. I love drama. I have been told I write really good drama that brings tears. When I can combine the two, it is great.
Picture this: The scene- Intense heart break, mammoth pain, leading to the emotional climax of the story. My heroine gets drunk [...]

Parting is such sweet sorrow

*sniff*
When I finally get to the point where I write those longed for words THE END, there is a lot emotional baggage I have to dump. I write long. My shortest mss is about 80K. So I spend a lot of time with my characters. I know them, I love them. I fall in love [...]

Genre salad

I do not read only one genre of books, either under the umbrella of romance or not(but let’s stay there for clarity,okay?). I actually read whatever my hand falls on and sounds interesting. RomCom? Wonderful and harder to find than you think. RomSus? Cool? Historical Intrigue, not a problem. Dark Fantasy, bring it [...]

Sarcasm? Me?

This has been on my mind lately. Run with me, okay?
I am a sarcastic witch. Seriously, I know this. In no way, shape or form have I deluded myself. This tongue is not only sharp, but witty and somewhat silvered. It’s a gift, really.
I LIKE my sarcasm. Yep. It is like my earlobes, part [...]

911, Disasters and Kindergarten

In my other life,  I’m an E911 Dispatcher in a small rural county.  Trust me, it can be boring or so dern [...]

RomCom Is dying!! Mouth to Mouth…STAT!!

The rumors of Romantic Comedy’s death seem to float around every few years. I honestly remember reading a magazine in high school (it was chiseled on stone) that talked about how there was nothing funny about love anymore.
Helloooo?
Let’s face it, Love and laughter go together like milk and cookies. Have you ever watched two teenagers [...]

Blogging while Braindead

It takes talent.
Okay, It takes laziness and an overworked, overtired, underpaid unpubbed writer, but pretend with me, mmkay?
April Fool’s day has lasted all week and I am BURNT OUT! Seriously, can anything else go wrong? I’m not asking that or it will. So bear with me while I hash my way through my version [...]

Trivial Pursuits

I love it. I kick A$$ at it. It’s fun. I can’t find a single soul to play with anymore. Bummer.
You know why? Because my head is so full of useless junk it is not funny. Random facts take root in my brain and they are stuck there for life. My head is a roach [...]

13 THINGS A ROMANCE WRITER NEEDS 
#13- A computer. Seriously, how did authors do rewrites before Cut/delete/paste/insert?  [...]

I’m not schizophrenic!

Just because I hear voices in my head does not make me schizophrenic. Really. I swear. *looks around in paranoid fashion*
There is an entire host of voices that only I hear. They pop in whenever they feel like it and know no boundaries. It is like the Sixth Sense. Instead of dead people, I see [...]
