Anywho,…Continue reading Thought for the Day: If the Shoe Fits

Friday’s newsletter is going out today. I apologize for the delay. Unfortunately, it was unavoidable. I’m still trying to ease my way out of my old business to make time for writing, which means honoring those prior commitments. Hopefully, this won’t be an issue after the end of this month. *** My goal when I…Continue reading News Roundup
The Cover for A Wicked Love
As promised, here’s the cover for A Wicked Love, the second installment in the Witches of Cullowhee series. I know, the look is very different from the cover for the first story, A Higher Purpose, but the characters are different, so there ya go. The credit for the cover goes to Melody Simmons.

Why I Write Multiple Series
Jennifer Crusie, a well-known romance author, recently posted on her blog about how over time people change, and for writers, that change can bring some unexpected career consequences. In her case, she’s been “branded” as an author who writes romantic comedies. Readers expect this from her, so when she decides to go off-brand and write something different,…Continue reading Why I Write Multiple Series
Milestone in Writing: 250,000 Words
Last night, I completed the first draft of The Enemy Within, with some regret. Of all the characters I’ve written to date, Bobby Upton has to be my favorite. I hated having to finish his story and move on to another character’s, but I have a schedule to keep. And I have a sneaky feeling Bobby will…Continue reading Milestone in Writing: 250,000 Words
