  • No Challenge? No Change.

    If you’ve been reading this blog for any amount of time, you will surely have noticed my love of combat sports. (I know, very strange for a middle-aged mom and romance writer, but it is what it is, and I make no apologies for the things that bring me joy! 🥊😁) Anyhow, you may also…

  • So Many Stories!

    Sometimes topics for my blog appear completely unbidden in my head, the posts almost entirely written before I even sit down. Other times… not so much. The creative process is just like that for me. I’ve come to expect it and, more importantly, I’ve come to accept and even appreciate it. Eventually, my old friend…

  • New Year… New Bruises?

    [Before I get started, let me clarify – this is not a post about domestic violence. If that’s something you need help with, please reach out to The Domestic Violence Hotline at 1.800.799.7233.] I feel like quite often I preface my posts with, “this probably isn’t usual for a romance writer,” and this post is…

  • Reflections on Fear

    When you think of fear, what comes to mind? Scary movies? Walking in a strange place by yourself at night? Spiders? I know this isn’t a usual post for a romance writer’s blog, but I’m more than a romance writer. I’m also a mom and wife and a friend and an athlete and a million…

  • Conflict? No Thanks!

    It might sound strange for me to admit this, but you know what I struggle with as a writer? Conflict. Do you know the one thing that all fiction needs to be worth reading? You guessed it, conflict. I have a hard time writing it. I try to avoid it in my own life as…

  • Word of the Year

    Have you ever had a word jump out at you seemingly everywhere you look? Maybe you see it in a book and your eye gets stuck on it, or you hear it on a podcast, and it almost seems louder, or more important than the other words you hear. It’s sort of like your brain…

  • Small Steps

    This probably doesn’t look like much more than an empty sticker sheet that needs to be tossed in the trash. That’s because it is an empty sticker sheet that needs to be tossed in the trash. But it’s also more than that. A lot more. This is a visual representation of times I actively worked…

It’s a quick peek into what’s been going on in my writing life – including the status of any upcoming books, the availability of any subscriber-only short stories, and any other writerly things that…

  • Shaking off the Rust

    The last time I did any one-on-one kickboxing training was about 10 or 11 weeks ago. The last time I put on my gear and sparred with my trainer was at least a month before that. So, it was no surprise that when we sparred this morning, I was more than a little bit rusty.…

  • Everyone’s a Critic

    “I just don’t care enough about these people to keep reading.” That comment came from my then fourteen-year-old son when he read through an early draft of a story I’d written. The story is not a romance, though there may be a romance in it, so much as it is a supernatural, small town type…
