So, the lovely Marie Sexton tagged my awesome critique partner, Daisy Harris, who tagged me for a fun game. The deal is, you describe your fantasy book boyfriend, and then name other authors and invite them to do the same. I don’t have a “type” precisely–I’m an equal opportunity man appreciator of everything from nerds to cowboys …
So, my current tagline “Sexy, funny, smart romance” is nice, but it’s a bit . . . boring. When I ordered some swag last week, I didn’t use a tagline at all, instead focusing on Return to Sender’s theme of receiving naughty mail with some great “Got Naughty Mail?” swag. But I’d like something similarly …
I didn’t pre-schedule a release day post because I’m a big dork and I didn’t want to jinx things. But it did indeed go live yesterday! I’m still giddy and excited and impossible to calm down . . . Right now it’s only up at the EC site. I’ll update in the next few days …
Today I’m guest blogging over at the lovely Sidney Bristol’s place about setting goals that change over time–both our own and our characters. Tomorrow, I have a real, live book coming out. *cartoon flail* Return to Sender is releasing almost 10 years after I first started writing a romance novel, 7 years after I joined RWA, …
My CP Edie Danford and I were both in a mood for angst last week, and I told her about M. Jules Aedin’s Paper Planes. Which, of course, made me need to re-read it. I love how Aedin takes so many elements of angst in Paper planes–Amputee hero, grief-stricken heroes, dead boyfriends, 13 year age …
The awesome Kaylea Cross asked on twitter how I’m working on getting faster. Way back when I started writing fiction, I spent several (okay five) years setting unrealistic goals–50k in a month, 5k a day, 4 hours a day–things that just didn’t take into account my real life. And I’m the kind of person both …
Last night, I got to do something I’ve waited 30 years to do. I got to buy a book with my writing in it. I’m not gonna lie, I got a little misty. Okay. A lot misty. Going for Gold is now up for purchase at MLR–they have nook, kindle, and pdf formats there. …
I’m so excited! Less than a week until the Going for Gold anthology is out from MLR Press! And . . . . We have a cover! Isn’t it pretty? And we’re now up at Goodreads, so you can the anthology to your TBR pile!
The shiny new site! And a new fresh start. I’ve shared my call story below and I look forward to sharing more on the blog and to hosting guests!
When I joined RWA in the Spring of 2005, I had just finished my first manuscript. I really believed I’d be a published author by the end of the year. Then by the end of the next year . . . And now seven years, two children, five finished manuscripts, a hard drive worth of …
