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 …
Read MoreWhy 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 …
Read MoreVintage 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 …
Read MoreYou 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 …

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). …
Read MoreLike 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. …
Read MoreHow 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 …
Read MoreMy Box Of Plant Fossils Grew Legs And Walked
