Late Night Musings Of A Paranormal Romance Author

Because of course I’m still up at one in the morning. Why wouldn’t I be? Love is…weird. I guess that’s the best way I can put it. When I was younger and volunteering at library book sales, I always marveled at the sheer number of …

New Version Of Scam Targeting Authors

Fellow authors/writers out there, just a little heads-up. There’s a new scam going around targeting authors. I’ve gotten about a dozen of these, and they all follow roughly the same format. You will get an email from someone saying they represent some book club or …

Why Is It Writers Can’t Talk?

Wow…it’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on my blog. Chalk it up to starting at a new school, new classes, and just loads of new stuff in general. Don’t get me wrong. I love my new job and classes, but starting a new …

Vintage Cheesecake Recipes

Sorry about the lack of posting…computer was broken (busted hinge) and I only recently got it back. Figures it would happen just in time for school to start. I’m glad I took it in for repairs though. The technician said the other hinge was starting …

You Miss One Hundred Percent Of The Shots You Don’t Take

I’ve been making more of an effort lately to be something that resembles social. This may come as a shock, but until a few days ago, I had never been to a club, or out dancing. Even in my college days, never did it. It …

How To Make A Cast of A Dromaeosaur Track

Or rather, in my case, utterly failing at making a track cast.  Years back, I purchased a track cast from what I strongly suspect is a British dromaeosaur. They leave very distinctive footprints, and are hard to miss. This type of animal would usually hold …

A Shoutout To Mr. Peter S. Beagle!

But first, a few thoughts and prayers should be offered to the ones who will lose one or more digits tonight. Or eyes. Or whatever they are aiming the angry incense at. For those who don’t know me personally, I’m a bit of a shy …

Social Butterfly…Yeah…Not So Much

Nobody would ever describe me as anything that even resembles a social butterfly.   If anything, I tend to be a wallflower. That, however, is changing.  I am trying to put myself out there, and not just for self-promotion for my books (though that’s nice too). …

Like Grandma, Like Granddaughter

My whole family says so. My mom always states that I closely resemble my paternal grandmother, though I personally think I look more like her mother, aka my paternal great-grandmother. That spicy personality I have? Yeah, might have come from one or both of them. …

How This Paranormal Romance Author Almost Got The Cops Called On Her

Took the kids for ice cream, and the younger one loved the vanilla-caramel-fudge-chocolate chip-cookie dough monstrosity I purchased. My older one stayed sane and got strawberry with sprinkles. Things were fine, and then almost went to hell.  Some twit came in wearing a shirt that …
