Slave to Sensation

I read about this book in Nobody asked me…Then it took a week for me to remember to print the title and carry it with me because I kept forgetting the title. I’m really glad that I did. this book is a great read. It’s refreshing to have the new world that Singh has created. [...]

Added Page and Bad Guys

I decided to add a page entitled Second Chance. This page contains a very small portion of my short story (you’ll never guess this) Second Chance. It’s not a traditional romance but I loved every minute of writing it and hope you’ll enjoy it too.
On a different note, I’ve been working on my story (the [...]

Broken

Kelley Armstrong  has managed to bore the life out of me with her book Broken. This story tells about the only known female werewolf, Elena, who is dealing with pregnancy.  Because there are no other females it is unknown how a werewolf pregnancy should progress or if the baby will be a werewolf. Add a Jack the [...]

More than one at a time

I know people who have more than one story being written at a time and I know the folks with only one. I had decided long ago that I would write as I read, one story at a time. I really haven’t stuck with that. When I decided to try writing my story in first person [...]

I Know more than it seems

I really do know more than it seems. After reading some comments I felt it necessary to shed some light to a few things about myself.

I’m an English major who’ll be graduating in December with an emphasis in literature and writing.
I’ve researched tons of papers from English and History to Chemistry.
I’m a single mother of two [...]

Playing with Fire

 I’ve been putting off reading Gena Showalter’s Playing with Fire ever since I found out that it was published by Harlequin. Many of their stories are predictable and in a way so was this book. The difference is the banter that takes place throughout the story glosses over any other fault I have with the [...]

First Person or third?

One of the first decisions I made when begining my book was whether or not to use the first person. I chose to use the third person because that is generally the most common form found in print, or is it?
While rereading my manuscript I began to notice that it was lopsided. I was only [...]

Setting and what you know

So we’ve probably all heard the saying “write what you know”. I’m just wondering how this applies to writing a novel. I know the obvious-if you know nothing of sports don’t write a story about sports. So you’re prob. wondering what the problem is, huh? 
I know nothing other than small town Indiana. 
I’ve read about big cities [...]

Writer’s Block

Sometimes it is really hard for me to write. Not because I have nothing to say, but because I’m just not fealing it. Take this week. I’ve written down many ideas and many places for my story to go which makes me proud of myself.
Yesterday I wrote nothing.
Why? Because I finally received two books that [...]

What’s wrong with writing romance?

What’s wrong with wanting to write a romance?  I’ve been reading them since I was in the fifth grade (without mom knowing) and now I want to write one.  Problem:  people ask me what I’m writing and I have a hard time telling them.  Forget the fact that romance novels make up over half of [...]
