I have finally finished ‘Steal My Heart’! Again. Hehe. I finished this novella the first time back in October I believe, and sent it out to several publishers. The reaction was great… as far as rejections go. But no one was willing to buy the story. When that opportunity to pitch came up with Wild Rose Press last month, I decided to revamp the story line and see if I could make it work. The editor requested the manuscript, but of course, it was not rewritten yet and I had work to do. It sucks that it’s taken me a…

I remember hearing about the first official face transplant in the US around Christmas or the beginning of the year, and I wondered what on earth that really meant. The woman who had it done wanted to stay anonymous and no one was giving out the details of what they did to her or what exactly was wrong with her to begin with. Now, the face transplant recipient has come forward and identified herself. Her name is Connie Culp, and she used to be beautiful, at least on the outside. I don’t know much about her personality or her spirit,…

After 18 weeks, the final four contestants on this season’s The Biggest Loser, have completely transformed themselves. On last night’s episode, their final challenge was to complete a marathon. For those of you who aren’t sure how long that is: 26.2 miles! These people were 250 to 400 pounds just a few months ago! And every one of the final four, even Ron with his serious knee and other health problems, completed the marathon. Tara completed the 26.2 miles running after about 5 hours. Helen also ran and came in just about an hour after Tara. I was so proud…

My fiance and I have been trying something different for the past couple of weeks, both in an effort to save money and to eat healthier. (And to lose weight for my part) Our “normal” schedule before this was to have something light, if anything, for breakfast. We would have a strawberry milkshake or a bowl of fiber one cereal some days, nothing but orange juice on others. Then, we would eat out almost every day for lunch. Chick-fil-A, McDonald’s, pizza buffets, Japanese, etc. At dinner, we would also eat out usually. If you start adding up the money we…

10 weeks from tomorrow I will leave for Washington D.C. and my first Romance Writers of America National Conference. I am so excited and nervous and crazy and happy all at the same time! I met with my critique group yesterday, and we decided that it’s time to step it into high gear. One out of the three of us is already a successful published author of 13 books (with 2 more contracted to come out this year from Harlequin Blaze), but the other two of us are still aspiring. The two of us are looking to Nationals as a…

Yesterday, I decided to pull out my copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Book 1 of possibly one of the very best stories ever written. After all these years and after reading them all once already, it’s amazing how much the story still draws me in. Rowling sets the entire series up so perfectly with her explanation of the Dursley’s and the delineation between the Muggle world and the Magic world. Her tone in the first book is almost a bit more childlike than I remember, but it fits so perfectly since Harry is just 11 at the…
