This is probably going to be short and sweet because I've promised my editor that she will have my now-late Superromance by the end of next week, and that means I don't get to...
Driving around in the car with my kids has always been one of my favorite things to do. I've found, over the years, that my kids tend to talk to me about really important...
I'm looking for something witty and wonderful and entertaining to say, but my mind is blank. I've never wanted to turn this into one of those blogs where you come if...
Wow! After 9 days in Reno and 1 day of walking around the house like a zombie, trying to wake up and catch up, I think I'm finally back! The conference was busy,...
We're down to the wire, pulling last-minute things together before we leave for Reno on Saturday morning. I'll see you all when I get back at the beginning of August!
The other day I told you about how I came up with the Coaldancer screen name, but I'm thinking about it again today. Why? Because that group of dear, close friends I...
I have come to the reluctant conclusion that there is a law at work in the universe--one I don't particularly like. The quality of any haircut a woman gets will drop...
Yesterday, I was whining about not finishing my art fact sheets for my next Superromance (tentatively called HER SECRET FAMILY.) The book is scheduled for a March 2006...
Well, color me absolutely mortified. I was contacted by an editorial assistant from my publisher a couple of weeks ago and asked to complete my art fact sheets online by...
Maybe you've all seen this by now, but I just stumbled across it. It's a test to see what kind of book you are. So I took it, and guess what I am: The Trashy...
It's summertime and the thermometer is inching up toward 100 here at my house. I have way too much work to do to shut down and read something wonderful while sipping...
This week has been an interesting one. Rough in some ways. Bumpy at times. There have even been times when the road was smooth, but unfamiliar. To start...
A few days ago I was rambling about changing the name of a character, and I'm back this morning to confess that I'm still stuck in the same place I was. I've...
There are lots of reasons for pursuing a dream as an author, lots of reasons for wanting to become published. There's the validation that comes when Someone Important Somewhere...
I love Stephen King. Not as an author, but as an author. Now, before you go thinking that doesn't make any sense, let me clarify. I don't read Stephen King's...
I wrote 5 pages yesterday. Only 5. I wanted to write 10. I needed to write 10 to meet my deadline, but I managed 5. On the plus side, I think they were...
I took the day off from writing yesterday, not because I should, but because I could. I had a thousand things I'd started around the house, every one of them something I'd...
It's June, the time of year when the minds of many romance writers turn to the upcoming conference of Romance Writers of America. We begin to thumb through the preliminary...
Special Birthday Wishes to my "little" brother, Gordon -- who also happens to be my web guru and site builder, and who isn't so little anymore. Happy Birthday,...
I've decided that life is way too busy! Between getting my daughter ready for her high school graduation, multiple looming deadlines, and all the other usual...
How did we become so dependant on the internet and everything it offers? My DSL service has been down for more than a week, and I'm nearly crazy with withdrawals and...
. . . but in the past few months I've been struggling to write for the first time in my career. Since 1992 or so, I've been very focused and extremely disciplined when it...
I'm not sure where I found this site or why I stumbled across it, but a few years ago I learned that September 19 is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Maybe it's...
It's been a rough beginning to 2005 at my house, and a busy one, so when it came time to celebrate Easter, we decided to keep things small. Our holiday was very quiet this...
