I’m officially stuck. I’ve written exactly 6 pages of Venture Forward and…screeching halt! Why? Because although my hero fascinates me, I don’t know where the hell I’m going with his story. I’ve played the “What If” game for DAYS and nothing! But this is my normal process. I just write, sometimes hitting 100 pages beforeContinue reading “A Knife-Wielding Lunatic Is On The Loose In My Neighborhood…I Bet He’s Got A Pretty Dark Backstory”

Why Write Romance? Is It An Escape Or A Revival?
Relationships are hard. That’s a shocking revelation, right? They take work and dedication and tremendous amounts of patience, every day. There’s never a break. Most times, I’m happy to say things with Hubby click. But on occasion, the edges fray a little and bickering ensues. Chalk that one up to two stubborn Type As, lackContinue reading “Why Write Romance? Is It An Escape Or A Revival?”
Desperately Seeking Smokin’ Hot SEXpert For The Bargain Price Of $250K
It is very rare that I pick up a book (or rather, my Kindle) and lap up the words on the page (or screen) like a parched dog at a water bowl in hundred-degree weather. VERY rare. But last night, I sprinted through Taint by SL Jennings like a woman possessed…or more appropriately, obsessed. I had to finish it. Raw is theContinue reading “Desperately Seeking Smokin’ Hot SEXpert For The Bargain Price Of $250K”
Printouts For My Face May Be 3-D But The End Result Is Just The Opposite
I’m a beautyphile. Is that the right word? Or is it beautyophile? I’m not sure. Either way, it means that I have about seven million beauty products lining cabinets, drawers, makeup bags and closets…and I keep buying more and more. You name it, I’ve either got it or tried it and returned it. =) TheContinue reading “Printouts For My Face May Be 3-D But The End Result Is Just The Opposite”
If You Want Perfection…Well, Good Luck With That!
Do you have any idea what happens when you change the ending of a novel? You end up looking like THAT. Figuring out the alternate ending was STRESSFUL!!! But at least it got glowing reviews from my beta readers. So I plopped it over the original ending. But I wasn’t even CLOSE to done. I had to openContinue reading “If You Want Perfection…Well, Good Luck With That!”
BB, CC, DD??? The Cost Of Masking Our Perceived Imperfections
I’m going to dedicate this post to a question I’m asked rather frequently – what the hell is the difference between BB creams and CC creams? Are they ratings? And if so, why would anyone else buy CC cream??? I have to admit I’ve asked the same question myself and to cover all my bases,Continue reading “BB, CC, DD??? The Cost Of Masking Our Perceived Imperfections”
The Lady Devil With A Passion For Jamba Juice
As I write this post, I am actively fighting the urge to devour the remaining Russell Stover chocolate marshmallow eggs in the pantry. Just saying. I really need to get rid of this leftover Easter candy. Sugar comas = lost productivity! I get way too fidgety to write compelling dialogue when I’m all amped upContinue reading “The Lady Devil With A Passion For Jamba Juice”
Run, Trip, Fly, Stumble…And Repeat…Two More Times
As I sit in my writer’s nook (er, kitchen) with a delicious mango martini, I thought I’d indulge you with a tale that might make you think twice before going for an early morning run. Now, let’s forget about the fact that my body should be all relaxed right now, considering we just returned fromContinue reading “Run, Trip, Fly, Stumble…And Repeat…Two More Times”
Still Waiting For The Fun Part To Begin
I had high hopes for today. Anticipated precipitation morphed into a 75-degree morning. Got my workout done early so I could gather my bearings before the kiddies appeared on the scene. All packed up for a day at the shore, well before Lulu and I had to leave for tumbling. All of the makings forContinue reading “Still Waiting For The Fun Part To Begin”
The Famous Hervé Leger Bandage Dress…And No, You Can’t Wear Spanx Underneath
In my past life, the one I refer to as “B.C.S,” 60% off and Hervé Leger would be a magically dreamy combination. Just FYI, “B.C.S.” stands for Before C-Section. Now, those sales only depress me. Don’t be fooled. Hervé Leger’s iconic “hold you in” bandage dress is NOT a miracle corset, no matter what anyone tellsContinue reading “The Famous Hervé Leger Bandage Dress…And No, You Can’t Wear Spanx Underneath”
