  • Final Polish

    I can’t believe the time has actually come to do a final read-through of my manuscript. It has almost taken me this entire year to get this story down on paper, and as novels go, it’s very short… a mere 49,000 words. But I’m proud of every single word, because it came from a place of creativity inside of myself that I always knew I had but never before had the courage to explore. Writing a romance novel, specifically for Harlequin, has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. I think the very first one…

  • It’s Amazing

    Yesterday I was listening to iTunes on random when a song from the Sex and the City Movie soundtrack came on. I know I must have heard this song a thousand times, but for some reason the words never really clicked with me until yesterday. It won’t let me embed the video from youtube, but here is the link, the song is called “It’s Amazing”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XDxhDbtDak Here are the basics of the lyrics. It will be obvious why they mean so much to me: Do it nowYou know who you areYou feel it in your heartAnd you’re burning and wishingAnd…

  • Zombies

    The number one movie in America right now is about zombies. I haven’t seen it yet, but “Zombieland”, starring Woody Harrelson is supposed to be extremely funny. Considering that my next book is going to be about zombies, I have been devouring everything I can get my hands on that has to do with zombies, so I probably will eventually get out to see the movie as well. (Only thing stopping me now is the stupid $10 a ticket when we’re trying to save money for the wedding in 73 days!) I recently finished the book “Dead Sea” by Brian…

  • Bad Start

    Some weeks just get off to a bad start. And once you’re off routine, it’s hard to get back on it. This week appears to be one of those weeks for me. I woke up about 6 am yesterday morning with a terrible back-ache that didn’t really start feeling better until last night. As a result, my routine was totally screwed up yesterday. Then, G had a review session until 8:30 pm last night, so we didn’t eat dinner until late. Rather than cooking something light, stupid me made spaghetti. Well, that pasta sat in my stomach like a bunch…

  • Dangerous Curves by Karen Anders

    Shameless plug here for my critique partner’s new book! “Dangerous Curves” hit shelves October 1st and is book 2 of Karen Anders’ Undercover Lovers series for Harlequin Blaze. Set in Hawaii, FBI agent Max Carpenter is assigned to protect the irresistible DEA agent Rio Marshall. Mostly, he’s supposed to keep her out of trouble and out of the way. Their undeniable attraction, however, leads to plenty of trouble as the two can’t keep their hands off each other. Here’s the blurb from the back of the book: FBI Agent Max Carpenter is assigned to protect irresistible DEA agent Rio Marshall….

  • Wedding Money

    Wouldn’t it be sweet to not ever worry about money? Wouldn’t it be so refreshing to just have enough that you never really had to think about how to pay for the things you needed or wanted? It’s so easy to imagine it, but so hard to make it a reality. October has finally arrived and G and I are only 79 days away from our wedding day. It’s exciting, but scary at the same time. With the bad news this week about my music job plus the fact that I won’t get paid for the whole month I worked…
