My Sexy Saturday: Meet Mike James (again)
It’s Saturday again — and this week, I don’t feel like I’ve been dragged through a tar pit and then forced to go to prom without changing. My head is only mildly stuffy, not filled with snot, and I’m ready to rejoin the land of the living. That means...
My Sexy Saturday with Mike James
It’s my favorite time of the week again: Time to share an excerpt for the My Sexy Saturday blog hop. The rules, in case you’ve forgotten: Post 7 paragraphs or 7 sentences or 7 words. The choice is yours. It can be from a WIP or something you already...
Moonlight Madness
It’s no secret that I hate the working title on Bree and Mike’s story, “To Catch a Wife.” I blogged about it way back in May. Last night, inspiration struck as I drove to the grocery store. I thought I’d found a perfect replacement: “Virgin and the Tramp.” A play...
Weekend update
Unlike the crew from “Saturday Night Live,” I don’t have a lot to report: I’ve been reading/editing most of the weekend. That means I’ve done no new writing … and I’m waffling about entering a third MS into the Golden Heart. A couple of nights ago, I started to...

Just a thought
As I was printing out the completed draft of Bree & Mike’s story, I realized something: I HATE the title. The working title has been “To Catch a Wife” … but that’d be coming totally from Mike’s perspective — and only AFTER he realizes he wants one, about 1/3...
Another milestone reached
The hits just keep on coming! That’s right. About 30 minutes ago, I put the finishing touches on the expanded draft of Bree & Mike’s story. It’s 56,000 words (on the shorter side of category romance, but still within the bounds) and will probably grow as I edit. Of...
Still plugging away
There’s not much to report here. Despite having a wisdom tooth removed Monday, I’ve been keeping up with the writing. Mainly, I’ve been busy exploring my hero’s reasons for stripping and my heroine’s motivations for wanting to be married by 25. (With one less wisdom tooth — I’m now...
My heroes
I spent some time tonight reading through parts of Bree & Mike’s story, and I’ve come to the conclusion that he might be the best hero in my Women of Willow’s Grove trilogy. Not surprising, considering he was going to be Erin’s hero (until Brad got in the way)....
