Slayers 4 (and other projects) update (sorry I’ve been AWOL)
I haven’t looked at my blog in weeks. This has mostly been because I was in England for 17 days, then had my three out-of-state kids and two grandkids visiting for 3 1/2 weeks, and all last week I had…Leading a directionally challenged life…
I just came home from an awesome week of teaching at WIFYR. I always take my work-out clothes and tennis shoes when I go to writers’ conferences—which proves that I am an optimist and that I don’t learn from past…The best sort of losers
Another Whitney Awards has come and gone and I know you’re all wondering if I managed to retain my title of: Author with the Most Books Nominated Who Has Never Actually Won a Whitney. Yes, yes I have. On the…Why people wonder about authors
As I’ve been getting the book The Girl Who Heard Demons ready for paperback format, I read over a few of the comments the editor made and the comments I made back to her. During a scene where the main character…The unintended consequences of studying WWII
I have a WWII romance in the writing queue. After finishing Slayers 4, an Echo Ridge romance novella, and an upcoming project that I haven’t seen the contract for so I won’t announce yet, I will finish it. And because I…To kill or not to kill off a character

I usually try to blog once a week, but as you may have noticed it’s been ten days since I actually posted anything. This is because I am valiantly trying to finish Slayers 4 (111,000 words right now) and I’m also…When I met Richard Hatch
When I was thirteen I was a huge fan of Battlestar Gallactica. I didn’t just dream of growing up to marry Richard Hatch, I dreamed of marrying Apollo. In my mind there wasn’t a difference between the two. A reader…Janette embarrasses yet another heroine
My novella, A Brush With the Law is in the Valentine’s Day Timeless Romance anthology. You can buy your copy here: Click this link, lovelies, to take you to Amazon And as you can see we’re also having a facebook…Should you publish with a small publisher?
Every once in a while I give writing advice on my blog. Someone asked me if they should publish with a certain publisher. Here are my thoughts on the subject. Smaller publishers come and go every year, and some stick around…Back to work on Slayers 4 (Into the Firestorm)
Perhaps by the time I’m finished with the book, I will remember that firestorm is one word. Although you probably shouldn’t hold your breath. I’ve written multiple books that involve either the Renaissance or renaissance festivals and I still spell…Preventing Hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness)
This post has nothing to do with books. I’m writing it just in case there are women out there googling information on hyperemesis gravidarum–which is literally killer morning sickness. Back before the invention of IVs, women died from this. I…Stay In The Loop
