Man, I love GoodReads. A lot of authors don't. A lot of them just don't understand the point of the site, but I do. I get that it's a personal library, a documentation of what readers have read and how they feel about stories. The whole point of it is to collect their...
I finished (for the third time) one of my favorite chapters from Shades of Treason. My hero and heroine are together and alone, and they've just been through hell. Always a fun moment, right? The rest of the book should move faster. I had to work out a lot of...
Say hello to my newest foreign cover - Sidhe 3: Double Vue. French covers are pretty awesome, don't you think? The book has actually been out for a few weeks. I just learned it had sold to France a couple weeks before that. Special thanks to Melliane, who asked me for...
I should have had Aren fissure me to some place hot, like Florida or Texas. The cool Colorado air will make this challenge worse than it needs to be, but my clothes – and everything from my normal life – are here at Naito’s house. I’m not worried about being cold,...

(Please excuse me for this non-writing related post. Sometimes, I just need to write my thoughts out.) My husband and I are evaluating preschools/daycares for our boys again. The school they're currently in, a school which we love and can afford pretty well, has a...
I'm super picky about TV and movies. It's hard for me to sit through a two hour show, and even one hour or thirty minute shows have a difficult time catching my attention. This last year, though, we stumbled across the TV superhero show, ARROW, on Netflix. It was...
I love the internet. It makes it easier to delete scenes from my books because they don't have to be permanently gone. I'm deleting the scene below from my WIP. It's not a bad scene. I kind of like it, actually, because it shows the type of person Rykus is. But I'm...
I flew to San Antonio last week for my very first RWA National Conference. It was awesome. It was packed with authors who love and write romance. The workshops were phenomenal, and so were the keynote speakers. I left San Antonio exhausted, but rejuvenated, too. I...
