Today’s eight sentences are in honor of World Nutella Day (February 5th, which I believe is also National Pancake Day…at least, according to IHOP…oh, and yesterday Feb 9th – which was National Bagel Day. Did you get your free bagel?). Ronan Evans, the hero of To Catch A Fetch, is a man of simple…
1. It’s Friday (in case you haven’t figured that out yet) and time for something rare in my universe: a t.v. show the husband and I enjoy together. I’m just not that into t.v. – I’d rather be reading a book, or writing, or wasting time on the internet, but I have to say it’s…
Break out the Chapstick and Mentos – it’s kissing scene time! Here’ s my entry in the Kissing Scene Competition, hosted by Cupid’s Literary Connection. The following is an excerpt from my paranormal romance, To Catch A Fetch. A little background info to set the scene: Devyn Cartwright has been hired to do a photographic…
That’s what tomorrow’s post is, really. I dream of landing a literary agent – the one who will be the perfect match for me and my novel(s). This Valentine’s Day, fate may smile upon me, and with a little help from a certain Cupid, my dream could come true. Tomorrow morning I enter Cupid’s Literary…
Ooops. Somehow I’ve managed to blow this before I even get started! Lemme splain: last week I caught a tweet by writing buddy Shannyn Schroeder about signing up for something called 8SentenceSunday. Intrigued, I poked around to learn more. My poking (more clicking, actually) led me to the Weekend Writing Warriors website – a fresh…

Not one of those “how long can your lips stay locked together contests” you only see in cheesy gum commercials from the…
So I’ve been rambling on quite a bit lately about this writing thing…and I thought today, as 15 agents prepare to go to war with each other over the first 250 words of 60 aspiring authors (mine included)…that instead of talking about how I write, I’d focus on what I write…and why I write it.…
Nearly a month ago I got out my horn a did a boot of tooting…my novel had won first place in a contest! Go me! Toot-toot! It was exciting and felt good because, well – winning always feels good. Also, it was that whole Sally Field thing: “I can’t deny the fact that you like…
I’ll just put it out there right now – I’m a sucker for a good compliment. Though I have no problem working hard for the personal satisfaction of knowing I’ve done a job well, I also enjoy the occasional ego stroke. Tell me I did a great job planning a party or that my outfit…
