My second novel, Try Not to Breathe, was a story that grabbed hold of me and wouldn’t let go.

It’s funny how good intentions, routines, and healthy habits seem to fly right out the window when I’m on deadline.  I’d like to blame the sinus infection I was fighting last month when I turned in my latest manuscript; however, I don’t have much of an excuse for the other four books in the Lords [...]

Creating the perfect romantic hero is not as easy as you think, mainly because no such creature has ever inhabited our planet.  So, how—in the odor-free, sweat-free, bodily-function-free realm of romance—does an author create the perfect male hero while still making him at least marginally believable?  Hell if I know.  But I’ve been thinking hard [...]

We enjoyed having Melissa Mayhue with us to remind us how important holiday memories are. Thank you, too, to those of you who stopped by for the day.

A huge thanks to Catherine Mann for spending the day with us recently to chat about how important memories are to us. And thanks to those of you who shared yours with us.

I’ve been visiting blogs all over the place these past few weeks, preparing for the December 27 release of my latest book, Warrior’s Redemption.  [Yes, please go look at it!  Yes, please go buy it!!] And, because we’re in the holiday season, many people have asked me the same sort of question – “What’s your [...]

Thanks to Heather Killough-Walden for joining us for a guest blog recently. A better day has not been had talking about angels and heros!

We authors tend to have varied backgrounds and degrees.  And it just so happens, I have an MA in Theater from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, as well as an undergrad degree in Fine Arts: Theater from the College of Charleston. Lately, interviewers have been asking about my background in theater and how [...]

My dream writing space is on the deck of an 80-foot sailboat designed by my friend, Kevin Dibley, called the Knight Commander. I fell in love with this boat when I was working on my first writing project. I emailed Kevin—a total stranger—and asked if I could use his boat in my book. He emailed [...]

Readers sometimes come to me, utterly head-over-heels in love with one or more of my heroes and wanting to know why they are suddenly obsessed when they’ve never been obsessed with anyone else’s characters before. “It’s only a story!” they tell me. “Why can’t I get him out of my head?” I’ve got a good [...]

Like all authors, I love creating characters. In my particular case and with my previous novels, the main characters were created by Jane Austen. Of course, I expanded on most of those characters and tweaked their personalities as time passed, so they are quite altered in many respects from how Jane originally wrote them.

We’d like to thank Lisa Renee Jones for joining us recently, instigating a good discussion about book covers, an important issue in the process of publishing a book and buying one. Thanks for a fun day, Lisa!

The hero of The Ruby Kiss is a nightstalker. In my Magic Knot fairy world, this means he is a black, human-sized fairy with wings, and a vampire! He has been a major secondary character in the first two books in the series, and he’s had a tough ride, so it was time I gave [...]
