Trope: Raven Hair, Ivory Skin Description: Though beauty ideals tend to go in cycles when it comes to what’s popular at any given moment, Raven Hair, Ivory Skin is one of those tropes that’s often used as a shortcut for “this character is physically attractive”. Due to said cycles, these characters can take on all […]

Yup, you can keep your minds in the gutter, because this post is about exactly what you think it’s about: which characters dominate your sex scenes? As I was chugging along on A Flame Among the Stars, I started thinking about how in most romances, one half of the couple is usually more forward or […]

As my old series Trope-tastic Thursdays indicated, tropes are not a bad thing. We all use them, whether we’re aware of them or not. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say there are some tropes I like better than others, and some themes or character types keep popping up. I’m on Chapter 3 of […]

I’m never one to pass up jumping on a good bandwagon. Writing/blogging buddies Krystal and Michelle recently made great posts about going back to their old writing projects and critiquing their opening lines. They were a ton of fun to read, and I also never shy away from self-deprecating humor, so I figured I’d have […]

Hey, a post that’s actually about writing! Or something close to it, anyway. Though I haven’t actually written anything lately, I did just finish the first round of edits on Seductive Suspect. When doing my own proofing/editing before submitting a manuscript, I have my list of words I check for to make sure I haven’t […]

Here we are at the final installment (for now!) of this name-related discussion. It was delayed slightly by a nasty eye infection I’ve been battling for two weeks (boo!) and the first round of edits for Out of Orbit (yay!), but I’m back and in blogging action. But I will blame any typos on my […]

 It’s here! Flight of the Dragon Queen releases today, and because I actually got my ducks in a row and used my communication skills like an adult, a month-long blog tour also kicks off today to celebrate! I’ll refresh your recollection with the blurb, and then post the tour schedule. While it’s nice to show […]

Here it is, the cover for Flight of the Dragon Queen! This is pretty much exactly what I was envisioning, except for one big difference: I thought the heroine would be on the cover, not the hero. But that’s okay! I’m certainly not going to turn down a good-looking guy in some sexy glasses* for […]

Flight of the Dragon Queen is set to release on January 18th. This time around, I was actually on top of my game and exercised good communication skills, so a month-long blog tour also kicks off on the same day! The cover isn’t 100% done yet, but I saw the first mock-up and it’s pretty […]

I love writing for the 1Night Stand series, as there’s an infinite number of stories to be told, all while following the stated guidelines. They’re addictive! So I’m thrilled to announce I signed a contract for my next contribution, Flight of the Dragon Queen (unofficial subtitle: Thea Plays Too Many Video Games). Here, have a […]
