Edits for The Feather

So I got my copy edits and have three days left before I must turn them in. The best way to deal with edits, I now realize, is with chocolates. Lots of chocolates. But even then, dang it, edits are painful! There’s this strange feeling you get when you read the book again after a few months. It’s exciting, to [...]

CRITIQUE PARTNERS

I think I owe my life to my critique partners! See, I’m a bit of a case when it comes to my books. It’s a love and hate thing between us. What I love I end up hating, and once I hate it I fear I can never love it again. Which is false! You [...]

The new 2009 Harlequin Presents competition is underway! This is a great opportunity to get your work in front of editors. I know one of the winners of this contest, a good friend of mine and a great writer, Lynn Raye Harris, is now busily writing her fourth book with more contracted. So what are [...]

I’m an absolute LOVER of reincarnation themes. Just say ‘soul mate’ and you’ve got me at ‘soul’. What is it about past lives that [...]

KATE DUFFY

I just heard the sad news about Kate Duffy’s passing. I’ve been sitting here for a full day in shock, wondering what I could say that would be even remotely worthy of Kate Duffy, but I know for sure I can’t say nothing. So to Kate’s family, her friends, her colleagues, her publisher and her authors, please [...]

Anthology title: MEN OF DANGER

Last week I learned the title of my upcoming anthology with Lora Leigh, Lorie O’Claire, and Alexis Grant is MEN OF DANGER. I love it! Sexy title, sexy stories, sexy men. Surely that’ll make any woman’s day.
