I am sure that you have already read this on a number of blogs, but I thought I would post about it anyway :). From Google’s announcement: Google Reader will be retired on July 1, 2013. If you’d like to download a copy of all your Reader data before then, you can do so through […]
The Particulars: Contemporary Romance, HQN, avaiable in print and as e-book The Source: Netgalley The Grade: B- The Blurb: When book doctor Jane Pearson arrives at Griffin Lowell’s beach house, she expects a brooding loner. After all, his agent hired her to help the reclusive war journalist write his stalled memoir. Instead, Jane finds a […]
I posted the old opening last week, so I thought I would post the new opening this week. I promise I will not post a third version next week! 😀 The sound of the phone made me look up from the report I was reading. I stretched out a hand and picked up the reciever. […]
I outlined the first 5 scenes of the Sorcerer , and then I decided to start writing. When I started writing, the words that I typed was in first, not third like the old version. I considered it, and decded that it felt right to tell it in first. And, the opening is SO much […]
Yesterday, my laptop suddenly froze. I cursed, turned it off and went to make dinner. When I turned it on after dinner, I discovered that it was beeping. Not loud, and not all the time but occasionally, it beeps.  In fact, it sounds like an EKG machine..Yeah… I don’t like that at all :P. But […]

 These are fun well, written fantasy romps, slightly old fashioned in writing but they are perfect for when you need to read something funny.  I reviewed the first book here. Oh, and beware: His writing is addictive.  But don’t take my word for it: Rojuun, the first book in the series is free at […]
Here is the opening scene, or part of it, to the Sorcerer. It is first draft, unedited, and riddled with typos. But I hope you enjoy it 🙂 : The shrill sound of the phone made Gianni Di Luca look up from the report he was reading. He glanced around, and swallowed a sigh when […]
I read this on Holly Lisle’s webpage: Maybe it’s the story you hoped to self-publish, to get yourself started on a writing business, to cut loose from the day job, or to invent a job because you can’t find one. And it got me thinking. I have been toying with the idea of self publishing […]
