As many of my readers know, I first realized I wanted to write a novel when I was just out of college. My first attempt was rough – I’d formed a critique group with some of my old classmates and though I was the only one brave enough (or crazy enough!) to attempt a full-length […]

I love reading a great Christmas story as the Holidays are approaching! Fellow Romance Author Penelope Marzec joins me today to celebrate the release of her Christmas story, Clear as Ice. Welcome, Penelope! Penelope Marzec grew up along the Jersey shore. She started reading romances at a young age and fell hopelessly in love with

Having spent much of last year planning my wedding, it’s been a long time since I’ve been a part of a big author event and this one won’t disappoint! Over 200 authors will be there, doing readings and book signings, hosting workshops

I’m sure the idea behind this thought was, if the idea of writing all the time doesn’t appeal to you, don’t be a writer.

Making quick decisions has never been my forte. As a hybrid author, I’m used to having some time to look over my work, months presumably, and I think about what my characters will say for hours on end before their words reach the public eye. Published by a digital press and also having published a

Winter started early for me this year. Though October has only just begun, I kicked off autumn by getting sick, and though it is ninety degrees outside where I live, today, I spent the last week or so feeling more like it was January than pumpkin picking season.
