  • Help Me (Re)Name My Hero!

    So, I have a tiny little issue with the New Adult Contemporary Romance that I’m working on. All along since I’ve been planning this book, the hero was named Lucas. I never really thought about whether that name had been used before, but suddenly it just occurred to me that duh! the hero in Easy is named Lucas! I adored that book, so maybe it was one reason that name kept coming to mind. Now, I realize of course that it’s impossible to try to always use names that haven’t been used before. On the other hand, Easy is one…

  • NaNo WriMo Webinar

    Anyone who has followed me long enough knows I am a huge fan of NaNo WriMo (National Novel Writing Month). When I was first starting out as a writer, NaNo was one of the first events that inspired me to let go of my inner critic and just write the story that was in my head. I mean, the slogan is “Thirty days and nights of literary abandon!” How fun is that? No edits. No judgment. No worries. Just writing. I first participated in 2008 and even though I haven’t won every year, I’ve gotten a lot of writing done…

  • A Year From Now… The 2/2 Challenge

    This weekend I had a lunch date with my very good friend, bestselling romance author Zoe Dawson. We have one of those friendships where whenever we get together it’s almost like we can’t talk fast enough! We have so much to say and I think we both inspire each other so much. Zoe was my very first critique partner and even though we aren’t critiquing each other’s work anymore, we still have a great friendship and try to get together at least once a month to talk about our lives and our books. On Saturday (2/2), we talked about our…
