Angela James wrote a wonderful little Romancing the Blog post about the one-manuscript author. We all know them. James’s description is right on the money.
I’ll bet most of you know or have known a fellow writer like this. Someone who wrote a book. One book. Finished it. Polished it. Maybe rewrote it once or twice […]

Frazzled and doing just fine!
June 28, 2007; 6:40 am
First of all, here is my brand new cover! REDEEMED IN DARKNESS is Cullen Finley’s story and won’t be out until the last week of November, but I had to share! I really love what Pocket is doing with my Paladin covers. It’s been a collaborative effort, and each time they’ve done their best to […]

I found this during my YouTube travels. It’s missing a paranormal element, but I hope you enjoy it… :-)

Summer Reads
June 24, 2007; 2:00 pm
So what is everyone reading? I’m actually sneaking a little reading time in, although I have to say, summer isn’t the easiest season for me to find a moment to settle down with a good book. Between family vacations, birthday parties, my daughter’s summer camps, and watering the darned flowers (can I just tell you […]

Coyote, Meet Roadrunner
June 22, 2007; 1:53 pm
Writing is so totally like Roadrunner cartoons. You no sooner solve one problem than another one arises to bite you in the butt, and then you’re over the cliff and in freefall. The fall seems to take forever and the landing is rough, but you’re fine in the next frame. And each time you invent […]

Changes and Countdowns
June 21, 2007; 7:30 am
This next week will be an interesting one for me for several reasons.
First of all, as I mentioned last week, IN DARKNESS REBORN , the fourth book in my Paladin series will be officially released next Tuesday. So far, the reviews have been great, so I have high hopes for the book. With each book […] -
Dreams…
June 20, 2007; 9:35 am
The night before last I dreamed I had been kidnapped by Stephen King, along with several other people, and he was going to kill us. He shot the two men we were with in the head without even blinking an eye. Then he planned to rape and kill the three women who were with me, and then […]

June 18, 2007; 9:40 am
Not sure if you all have heard of this little controversy in the online world the last few weeks, but this little mini statue of Spiderman’s girlfriend Mary Jane has raised the ires of quite a few people.
At first glance, it appears that a way hotter Kirstin Dunst is washing Spidy’s costume while barefoot, with […] -
Research and Herding Cats
June 17, 2007; 9:30 am
Well, I’m just back from New Orleans. Yay!
If you’ve read any of my posts over the last year, you may see a pattern. I’ve been there a lot. I adore this city. Love it, love it! I went with Erin McCarthy to do some research on an idea I have for a dark paranormal. But my primary […] -

Four Rules of Character
June 15, 2007; 1:40 pm
It’s been a terrible week. The car is in the shop again (no worries, I expected it) and my father-in-law is still in the hospital. Despite the fact that the prognosis for him is good, anytime you mix an 80+-year-old man, a hospital, and the word “aorta,” you’re going to have a Bad Situation. My […]
