Hello love! Sometimes, even in the midst of chaos, an opportunity to do good comes along and you know you can't ignore it. That's the story of Erada, an almost 80 year-old grandmother whose nephews are trying to force her out of her home. I write stories about kickass heroines who fight the bullies not for…
A friend shared this on Facebook and I had to put it up here to share with all of you. Being a huge Disney fan, this gave me chills. It's 3:43 minutes of pure delight. Enjoy! Ps, I tried to get the video to show here, but for some reason you need to click over…
A few weeks ago I was doing some research for the novel I'm working on and I saw these three guys walking on what looked like a tie-down that was suspended between two trees. Being the curious sort (and really, what writer isn't?), I asked the guys what the heck they were doing. Slacklining.…

On Wednesday you can find me over at Marcia Richard's blog where I'll be guest posting about what makes Queen Elizabeth I sexy, smart, and from the heart. Since the Tower played a huge role in Elizabeth's life, I thought today we could have some fun with this iconic landmark. Ask any Londoner where…

Do you write to music? Do you have a soundtrack for your novel? I do. Not a complete soundtrack for every scene, but there are songs that have inspired scenes in my book. Take, for example, David Cook's Come Back To Me. I was minding my own business one day when this song came on the…
Happy Monday! Ouch. That was kind of loud and after all the parties last week, I'm a little fragile. I was going to have a kickass post on the Hunger Games today but then I decided to clean the whole house AND the garage yesterday. You'll get today's post on Wednesday which means I'm bumping Wednesdays…
