Great news on the published front: Fox & Hound has received its first reviews. Simply Romance deemed it an “Outstanding Read!” To read the reviews, go to the BOOKS page or read the updates on my BLOG. I finished galley work on Denied Origin and should have a release date this month. My First Sale announcement appeared in the April issue of RWR. The Silken Sands Conference on the Beach is coming up quick. I’m busy putting together promotional material, including a raffle basket for Fox & Hound. I’m thinking about doing one for a reader giveaway here on my website. I’ll make the final decision when I get back from Silken Sands!  

I completed two of my Wayback books for TWRP. I’m a third of the way through the third book in the trilogy, which should be finished by April’s end. I’m in love with the characters and having so much fun watching them gallivant around this dusty little rodeo town. I also have several critique partners now, which has been a surprisingly enjoyable experience. I’ve learned a ton from these new friends already. I’m planning to submit the first book to TWRP early this month. I’ll keep you updated. 

My second article for the Silken Sands newsletter is scheduled to appear in May. I’m guest-blogging on Jane Richardson’s Home Thoughts From A Broad site this month about a subject which I’ve wanted to address for a long time. As soon as it’s available, I’ll post the link on my BLOG.  

At the moment, I’m polishing my contemporary hometown series for submission as well as my Southern contemporary novel Heart Roots, which I will be pitching to an editor and an agent at Silken Sands. I can’t wait to meet Sherrilyn Kenyon and Catherine Mann, our Keynote and Kickoff Speakers. It’s my first writer’s conference and should be a blast!

This month has been super-exciting! I met my wonderful editor from Red Rose Publishing and we got straight down to business. The editing process for Fox & Hound only took a few days! The following week the editor from The Wild Rose Press contacted me a month early to start edits on Denied Origin. It took a bit longer to finish, but I loved the challenge and it gave me a new look at point of view and the different ways it can be used. It also gave me an idea for an article I’m now writing for the GCC newsletter, Silken Sands. I should be getting a release date for Denied Origin soon!  More...

The first month of the year has passed very quickly. I’m halfway through the third book in the Louisiana trilogy. I plan to finish it by the end of February. The plot is rolling smoothly. My hero disappeared for a couple of chapters, and I’m very happy to have him back! I’ve also already written the blurb for it. Most don’t do this until they query agents or editors, but it helps me remember what the book is about so I don’t stray from the premise. It turned out very well and I can’t wait to use it!    More...

Not much has been done this month, unfortunately, due to health and computer problems. Neither the wolf-shifter short story nor the third book in the Louisiana trilogy will be finished by New Years. I will continue to focus on book three in the LA trilogy, but I’ll be putting off the wolf-shifter story for a later date. I’m saddened by the fact that it will not be a part of Red Rose Publishing’s Wolf Week anthology, but this might work in my favor. The notes I’ve collected would’ve been difficult to pack smoothly into a short story format. This allows me to stretch a little and do the story as it should be done…and no rush!    More...

Great news—The Wild Rose Press offered me a contract for my only suspense novel, Denied Origin. My paperwork has been sent through, and I have an editor! Round one of edits won’t begin for some time, but I’m relieved I have some kind of date to shoot for and a very understanding editor who I’m sure will be very easy to work with. The editing process doesn’t scare me so much now that it’s in capable hands. I’m looking forward to working with this publisher! I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about them!    More...

October 26, 2007 

Well, well…October has certainly been an interesting month! It started out smooth then stalled in the middle. The block hit me for two whole weeks. I thought I’d pull my hair out before I finally sat down and finished chapter nine. I’m glad I’m over halfway done with the second book in the Louisiana trilogy. I bite my nails as I look over the events calendar for November.    More....

September 22, 2007

   I just finished my thirteenth fiction/romance manuscript which I’ve very recently decided to spin into a trilogy. I’m working on the second book right now. I hope to finish the entire trilogy by New Years. I usually work fast so I fully anticipate meeting this goal with champagne and fireworks! 2008 here I come!     More....
