Firstly, the release schedule for the Searching the Skies series is still being finalized, but I promise I will let you know when I have details! Okay, so. Summer has ended, the kids are back in school (thank GOD), and we’re all returning to reality after some great vacations. I held firm and did not […]

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 […]

Trope: Insecure Love Interest Description: Even if one character in a couple thinks their love interest is great, the love interest may not feel that way themselves. This could be one of the obstacles in the way of the pair getting together, or even continue after they’ve officially embarked on a romantic relationship with each […]

(Parts of this were originally posted on February 7, 2013) Trope: Hot Chick in a Badass Suit Description: No link to the trope this time, because apparently in the years since I wrote the original post, TV Tropes has decided a list of women suits isn’t trope-tastic enough. I still think it’s a valid way […]

(Parts of this were originally posted on January 17, 2013) Trope: Ice Queen (and its sub-trope, the Defrosting Ice Queen) Description: The Ice Queen is aloof and, well, frigid. She may not want to get emotionally close to anyone, or it may just be men she disdains. There are a few different ways her icy […]

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 […]

Hello, my lovelies! I hope this winter holiday season is treating you well, or whatever 2020’s version of well is. As we race toward the end of this year, I’ve been racing toward the end of my work-in-progress, Elemental Forces. Even without having gotten to the very end yet, it’s the longest thing I’ve written […]

Remember a couple years ago when we were all going back to our old projects at critiquing our opening lines? It’s that time again! Writing/blogging buddy Krystal Jane recently posted her new collection, and someone on Twitter just asked about favorite blog posts, so here we go for Round Two. I’ll pick up where I […]

  Hunting Astrid has officially hit the shelves! I know I’ve said it before, but really, I’m so excited about this book. With the state of the world still being *gestures vaguely*, I think we could all use a little fast-paced fun in our lives.   We’re opting for Kindle Unlimited again, as it worked […]

In case you missed it, the pre-order link for Hunting Astrid is up now. It’s free on Kindle Unlimited, and officially releases on the 20th. Tons of action here, both in and out of the bedroom, and I honestly had so much fun writing it. This might turn into one of my favorites in the […]

DAMN, I always get some awesome covers from the team at Decadent Publishing. Really, if this cover doesn’t tell you exactly what the book is about, then what will? Pre-orders start on November 6th, and the official release day will be November 20th. Follow along wherever I’m available to be followed (I’ve actually been using […]

Since last checking in, the world seems a little bit less on fire, but not significantly so. Throughout the whole lockdown, I saw a lot of authors and fellow writing buddies posting on social media about how they didn’t feel like writing AT. ALL, and dude, I totally get that. Trust me, I do. And […]
