MY BLOG
Coming on Amazon Kindle - my novel Absolution!!! Whoo-hoo!
posted 02/28/2010
To all my lovely readers, I must apologize. You all know that I said I would do a weekly blog. And as a writer, you would think it would be easy for me, right? Wrong. I am so not great at blogging. I guess because I really want to write. I love doing research. I adore putting together the stories that you guys email and pen me about. I would love to say that I'll do better with the blogging, but I fear that would be an untruth, so I will only promise, now, to do what I can. What I can promise is that I will let you know when there is something that I truly would like you to know.
That is why I am writing today.
I truly would like you to know that at last! The Kindle e-book for Absolution will be made available. I will let you know the exact date when you can purchase. It should be very soon, a few days at the most. This I am excited about. Then soon to follow that e-book will be others of my novels. My publisher will make these available as well on Kindle.
Well, my dear friends and readers, I must get back to doing what I do. Gotta go create some drama, put some more characters to work... writing, it's what I do. Yet I can't say I'm a great blogger. Go figure. :)

In My Downtime
posted 01/13/2010
As a writer, in my downtime, when I'm not writing, I read. Go figure.
A day or so ago, I happened to get into a really good book, a historical romance. Yes, I like those, among other genres. I'm not ashamed to say. Anyway, as I was listening to the book-- I forgot to mention it was an audio book, the author got me. I mean she had me, lock, stock and barrel, in the story with the characters.
I was holding my breath at points and wondering what on earth will happen now? At another juncture, tears came to my eyes, and I felt what one of the main characters in the story was feeling. Wow. Now that was a good book!
That--the experience, the laughter, and the tears are what I strive to give you, my readers. I want to give you emotion. I want you to hang at points, suspended, just wondering...where to next?
Then if I am doing the good job that I sometimes think I am, please let me know, and be kind, because I'll tell you. Other times, while writing, I feel plain frustrated, until my thing starts coming together. It's the nature of the beast, but I love it! I love that I get to do one of the things that I most love. And I get to share it with you, the reader! I ask you, what on earth could be better than that?
Gotta get back to writing, but I just thought I'd share. See you soon.

A Dedicated Reader Asked

A dedicated reader asked if I'm working on a new book.
My answer: I sure am! I've got a great semi-traditional romance coming out by summer 2010. It's called TURNABOUT and it is adult fiction--as is a lot of my work.
TURNABOUT showcases a woman who happens to be involved with a pop music producer while another man won't leave her alone. It is a love story that not only involves the main couple, but also family, friends, and foes.
I wrote it like this because isn't that how relationships go anyway? Sometimes when we're involved with someone, don't they meet our family and friends? Don't our exes sometimes also try to create trouble and drama? (Some ex-lovers no longer want us, for whatever their reasons, but they don't want to see us happy either. Go figure.) And don't all of the afore-mentioned people always have something to say? Nevermind that those actually involved in the relationship don't want to hear it. Well, anyway, in this sexy, thought-provoking novel I try to give you some or all of the above, and more.
As the time nears for TURNABOUT to release, I will let you know. Then after you've read it, I want to hear your thoughts. You know I get a kick out of you. You're my inspiration. When writing, I keep you, the reader, in mind.
For you, I want to present very real scenarios. Sometimes I want you to feel the character's upset. I want to make you laugh. If you cry too that's okay. I'd like to make you think. I want to make reading me a lovely worthwhile experience.
Okay, gotta go-- I gotta get back to writing. I'll talk with you soon!
