Late Frost in the Garden

on February 5, 2008

So I got the first news on the latest proposal. And, contrary to the sad flower to the left, it really is a mixed bag. One very veteran editor said it made her cry(that’s like making Dick Cheney cry). One said that there was too much history(in a historical romance), and another said it simply… Read More


The First Test

on January 20, 2008

The other day I posted about submitting my newest proposal. It is officially called THE THREE GRACES, a Regency historical romantic adventure(good heavens. How many labels can a person put on one book? Be happy I didn’t include time-traveling or vampires. You could have been here all day). The heroines of this series are Mrs…. Read More


It is finished. It has begun

on January 17, 2008

Actually I should have written this post about three weeks ago. But I’ve been having problems with my blog server, and if anybody hasn’t told you already, I’m the last Luddite. Be that as it may, the important thing is that I’ve put together a proposal for a brand new genre for me. Suspense fans,… Read More


Taking a Breath

on September 15, 2007

Those of you who are stalwart enough to hang in waiting for me to post a blog, your time is now. I actually posted two other blogs, and thought I’d done so successfully. Such is my keen knowledge of the internet, that I evidently didn’t notice for four weeks that I failed–miserably. So when I… Read More


Creativity Central

on September 6, 2007

I always seem to begin my blogs by apologizing for not posting. I’m afraid that I don’t have that wonderful brain that can schedule stuff like that. I just suddenly look up and think, “Oops. I haven’t posted in a month.” Which is actually probably better, since that saves you from my rants. I have… Read More


Because I’m too stupid to post sometimes

on June 28, 2007

Okay. You’re wondering what the picture is. The picture is the prize I”m offering over on the Unfortunate Miss Fortunes blog. You see, we’re having this contest about the book, and people are supposed to say what they’d like to do with the power my character Dee has(which is shapeshifting). We pick one answer, and… Read More


And now, ladies and gentlemen…..

on June 27, 2007

Funny thing about a publication date. In the end, it’s more frustrating than rewarding. THE UNFORTUNATE MISS FORTUNES, the (funny, erotic paranormal) novel I did with Jenny Crusie and Anne Stuart premiered yesterday. I should have felt better. Don’t get me wrong. I’m thrilled it’s out. I’m so glad that we’ve reached the culmination of… Read More


Will give free books for review

on June 21, 2007

I might actually be too late on this. I’m in Michigan on vacation with the family, and only able to get internet in town(which, if you’re on a beach in Michigan, you tend not to frequent). But here it is. My book with Jenny Crusie and Anne Stuart, THE UNFORTUNATE MISS FORTUNES, premieres very soon…. Read More


What I’m Writing on my Summer Vacation

on June 15, 2007

Tomorrow morning–early–well, for me early is any time before they stop serving Egg McMuffins at McDonalds, I’m heading off with my family to the vacation cabin we’ve gone to since I was a year old. Now when I say my family, I don’t just mean immediate. I mean siblings and families. This year I think… Read More


Old Eclectic Me

on June 11, 2007

In about two weeks, The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes, the book I wrote with Jen Crusie and Anne Stuart will be out. It’s a bit of a departure for me, so I thought this might be the time to discuss why I tend to write so many different kinds of things. It’s not that I’m trying… Read More
