I dearly hope everyone is having (or HAD, by the time you read this) a great holiday. Mine has been productive, which is a good thing. I’m still working on the revision, but also some promo stuff and a little research. I have SO many books inside, begging to get out, that it’s like trying [...]

Music City Romance Writer Monica McCabe is a queen of adventure writing – she’s also great for finding useful info on the web. Her latest find, which she shared with the MCRW loop is “Editors, Agents and Blogs, Oh My!” a blog dedicated to featuring (obviously) noted agents, editors, and their blogs. The most helpful [...]

My first of four blog interviews is up and running. The Keep Me in Suspense blog is featuring Dana Mentink and me for our upcoming Love Inspired Suspense books, The Face of Deceit and Killer Cargo. I loved her answers, and I’m glad they listed me first. Dana would be a hard act to follow!

This just came over the Middle Tennessee Christian Writers loop, prompted by some posts on the ACFW loop. So…the word is getting around.

Blog tours. Ah, they are one of the hot tickets in online promotion. Authors take up a guest spot on another blog, usually in the form of an interview or guest blog entry. While I haven’t had the time or the energy to plan a full tour, I will be doing a few as The [...]

Much more on this later. I have a lot to tell, but I’m still a bit stung from my revision letter – but I AM working on it.
Here’s the piece that the Today show did on the convention. A couple of notes…except for the interviews, most of the group shots were taken at only ONE [...]

I have been riding high lately, ever since I got on a plane to San Francisco. My plane time was productive, and I landed encouraged. I’ve already blogged about some of the good stuff that happened, which bouyed me in my quest to expand my writing career. Not only did I find out the news [...]

Yesterday Kim and I spent all most all our time in the garage. I drug most of the stuff out into the driveway, and we threw away almost a dumpster full, then set to organizing and stacking. We swapped out the table in my dining room (too big and will be for sale) with one [...]

And MANY thanks to Liz Bemis for the new site. She’s awesome. We had quite a time [...]
