My Sexy Saturday: Our Sexy Thanksgiving

I’m in the throes of NaNoWriMo…and way behind, so this blog post has to be quick. Friday was Day 21, and I just crossed the halfway mark (25K) Thursday. Needless to say, I don’t think I’ll make it to 50K Chalk up another one for “plotting rules, pantsing drools.”...

My Sexy Saturday: Back in the swing of things

RWA14 was a blast—not that I doubted it would be. For me, it was a true road trip. Two of my chapter mates and I carpooled from Flagstaff to San Antonio (more on that soon). I caught up with friends old and new, and learned so much from the...

Think it couldn’t happen here? Think again

Complete strangers getting married the first time they meet? Sounds crazy, right? There’s no way it would happen in real life. Umm … think again. Turns out the premise of BLIND DATE BRIDE isn’t so far-fetched after all. It was just years ahead of its time. When I came...

My Sexy Saturday #3

It’s Saturday again. You know what that means — My Sexy Saturday time. I totally forgot to take part last week … but I hope that’s the exception rather than the rule. The idea is simple: Post 7 paragraphs or 7 sentences or 7 words. The choice is yours....

The big cover reveal

Anyone who likes my author page on Facebook has already seen the news … several times. I’ve also been showing everyone at the office — and the baristas at my regular Starbucks. Pretty  much anyone I can get to look at my phone is seeing my beautiful new cover....

I’m a playwright

About 12 years — and four computers — ago, I submitted a one-act play to my theater group, to be considered for their one-act festival. Not long after that, I moved to Arizona and started writing a book based on that play. That book is “Blind Date Bride,” to...
