Reviews are trickling in
I admit, I’ve been nervous about book reviews. Who wouldn’t be after reading the horror stories about authors who refuse to read their reviews … authors devastated by one-star—or, worse, no-star—reviews … Putting my books out there, in the world at large, wasn’t hard. I’ve wanted to be a writer,...
Christmas is coming
I know, I know. You don’t need me to tell you Christmas is a mere nine days away. Countdowns are everywhere, inexorably ticking off the days, hours and minutes. With no children of my own to make holiday magic for, I don’t find the holiday season quite as hectic...
My Sexy Saturday: Holiday heat
Dashing through the malls? That’s so last week. ‘Tis now the season for holding hands with the one you love while strolling through freshly fallen snow and cuddling (and more) in front of a blazing fire. No need to shiver in sub-zero temps when there are so many fun, creative...

Catching up
… No, not “Catching Up with Depeche Mode,” although that disc had most of the essentials from DM’s early years. I’m talking about catching up with my busy, busy author self. The days—has it really already been a month?—since DIVA IN THE DUGOUT‘s release have been a whirlwind. That’s...
My Sexy Saturday: Home for the Holidays
The release of my holiday novella, HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, is just around the corner. It’s my first indie release, and I’m stoked. Does anyone say stoked anymore? Probably not. I’m hopelessly uncool—and mathematically challenged. (More on that in a future post.) To celebrate my upcoming indie debut, I’m...
My call story and advice

Interrupting our regularly scheduled My Sexy Saturday post …
… For the news I’ve been waiting to share all week: My debut, DIVA IN THE DUGOUT is live. It’s been a whirlwind from getting the call in July to seeing my first book available for sale. I keep pinching myself, expecting to wake up and find the last...
