  Woo-hoo! This year, I actually got my spooky season story out on time! (To be fair, last year wasn’t 100% my fault, but I’m going to enjoy this anyway.) Tangled In His Possession is my latest paranormal romance, and I love it so much, I have two different marketing pitches for it. Take your […]

We’re well into October, and everywhere I look, people are embracing the Halloween season. Honestly, I don’t have strong feelings either way about Halloween. I mean, it’s fun enough, but I was never the type to go completely crazy over it. And I’m old enough to think having leftover candy in the house is more […]

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 […]

Whoops, it’s been almost a month since my last post. I’ll be totally honest here – I did very little writing this summer. There are various reasons/excuses, but since I can’t go back in time and change things, I’m trying not to beat myself up too much over it. For most of my past books, […]

Next up in this series – the meaning of characters’ names. Right off the bat, I’ll start by saying that though I’m a bit of a name nerd, I don’t make myself nuts when it comes to the origin and meaning of names. I didn’t even really care about that when it came to naming […]

Progress on Out of Orbit is slow, but steady. I’m not at the point yet where I can say “the end is in sight”, but I’m at the point where being able to say “the end is in sight” is in sight. Or something like that. 😀 Anyhoo, I decided to mix things up and […]

Happy New Year! I hope everybody had a fantastic holiday season, no matter what you celebrate, and may we all have a satisfying and productive 2016! Me, I got a niiiiiiice chunk of writing done on Out of Orbit while Mr. Landen and I were both off from work for over a week and I […]

Heyo! I’m alive, the babies are wonderful, but blogging and writing has taken a bit of a backseat, as I expected. Also, I am apparently a masochist, since I let myself be talked into doing some work from home earlier than I expected. Meh, I might have gone back for a few days this summer […]

Back in September, I blogged (again) about those “oh, shit” moments I’ve had when realizing something I’ve written is very, very similar to something that already exists. It’s happened to me a couple times, but I’ve reassured myself that there’s always enough differences for it not to be a big deal. To recap that particular […]

It’s been said for a while that there are no truly original ideas anymore. Which, well, maybe. I haven’t decided whether I agree or disagree with that, but I subscribe to the concept that it’s all about how you spin an idea and make it your own, and not whether the core ideas are similar […]

I’m over at the 1Night Stand blog today talking about the inspiration for Second Skin. Well, truthfully, I’m talking more about my love for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but I promise the two are related! Go check it out, and I’ll be back here in a few days with a new, fresh, shiny […]
