Added On : Mar 26 2012 | 8 Comments
As of today, I've written 20 books in three years. I'm still not sure how I got here from there, or even why I began the journey in the first place. I do know that if I had listened to all the advice given me by pundits, established writers,friends, and family, I probably would never have completed my first book, That Pearly Drop (as yet unpublished). Many times I'm asked for advice by aspiring writers, and...

Someone asked me recently, how I come up with ideas for new books. The question took me aback for a few moments – not because I haven’t been asked that before – but because I’ve never had an answer - one that makes sense anyway. I know many authors who have every book they will ever write planned to the tiniest detail. There are times when I yearn to be that kind of writer, but I'm no...

Added On : Mar 19 2012 | 10 Comments
There’s nothing like an evening at the movies for me and my dh. It’s an escape, a getaway, a chance to transport yourself into an extraordinary time and place. We saw Act of Valor last Friday, a movie I had long anticipated, given my obsession with SEALS. Sigh. What to say? If they’d stuck to the premise, an action oriented film about SEALS - about extraordin...

It's Friday and it's been such a hectic week. I should be able to post the cover of The Call of a Soul tomorrow or on Sunday. It looks great, but it's really purple - and I mean purple, but manages to somehow match White Wolf's cover. It's early Sunday morning and I've just received permission to use the cover for The Call of a Soul! I'm going to insert the cover for White Wolf - what do you thi...

One of my friends commented on the prolific nature of my writing this week. She wanted to know how I managed the day job, three sons and a husband, and produced twenty books in four years. For me, once the story is in my head, I am compelled to write. I sneak in as much as I can everywhere. On my iPhone in the car – not texting but dictating notes – I have a cute Acer notebook t...

Added On : Feb 15 2012 | 2 Comments
Another five star review for Demon Seed and it's The Romance Reviews Top Pick! Here's the review: Reviewed by Rho, February 4, 2012 DEMON SEED, the latest installment of the Hades Squad Series, is so good that I went to work, bleary-eyed and tired because I had to stay up and finish this book. Once I started, there was no way I could put it down. Gripping from word one, I fell into the story...

Today my gruff Demon is being interviewed very reluctantly at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews. A brief note – Satan’s tale is now tentatively titled Satan’s Angel. Read the interview, I think you’ll get the coy hint. Here’s the two links for the interview and also the review of Demon Seed. http://www.guiltypleasuresbookreviews.com/2012/02/valentine-to-remember...

I love the start of a new year. It’s a chance to wipe the slate clean, to forget the mistakes of the prior year, and begin anew. Long ago, I gave up the notion of making a ton of new year’s resolutions. I make one and only one, announce it publicly, and then try to keep it. This year my resolution is to be healthy. Go figure – right? After my January 18. 2011 car accident whe...

A release date for White Wolf - The Call of a Soul - February 21, 2012. Yay! Snoopy Happy Dance! While I wrote White Wolf as a single title, the demand for the stories of the other White family members, Gray's sisters and their mates have been consistent since the day the book released two years ago. The Hades Squad had me obsessed for so long that I didn't even start thinking about the pre...

Great news - I have a release date for The Last Call of a Soul - February 21, 2012! So exciting to get the news, but now I'm mired in final edits for Demon Seed, which releases on January 9, 2012, and the first round edits for The Last Call. Add that to the day job's higher-than- normal- year- end-activities, a pile of welcome visitors over Thanksgiving, and a whole bunch of unexpected mini-crises,...

I handed in The Call of a Soul - White Wolf this weekend. Some books write themselves, but others, others take everything out of you. This one did for me. No comes the agony time, the waiting to hear what Maryam, my editor, thinks. It does also, though, give me time to recoup form the holidays and the intensity of writing, cooking, visiting with family and friends, too much wine, and not enough sleep....

Read MoreMy Favorite Hero
Added On : Nov 09 2011 | 5 Comments
Lately, a lot of people have asked me, which one of my heroes is my favorite?That’s akin to asking a mom which one of her kids is her favorite. No answer’s right. Each one of my heroes has at least one quality that makes him my favorite. Sounds too PC – right? But it’s true. In the Mambo series, I loved the way Rolan took to fatherhood, Terrence had this gentle giant tenderne...
