Fourteen years ago, too many people died simply because they were at work, on an airplane, or meeting someone. Fourteen years ago, too many people died because some others couldn't accept that they were different in some way. Fourteen years ago, too many of us mourned those who were murdered for no real reason. Hate … Continue reading In Memory

Who the real competition is
Good morning! I know, it's Tuesday. Not Monday. I was off camping with the SCA for 5 days straight and was too exhausted when I made it home to bother doing anything besides bathing and sleeping. LOL I sold a few books (yeah!) while I was there, and met a couple of writers. Hopefully, I've … Continue reading Who the real competition is
Rising Above the Negative, Focusing on the Positive
Good morning! It's been an interesting week. Not in writing...didn't do much of that. But in fighting a good fight. Moving beyond those who condemn a genre solely because of what they perceive it's about. I'm working on a signing event at a newly opened bookstore. Until recently, when it was bought out, it was … Continue reading Rising Above the Negative, Focusing on the Positive
Why it matters
Good morning! Yesterday was a whole bunch of work and brain dead on my part. LOL. I simply couldn't come up with a good blog topic! Am happy to report that is fixed! There's something to be said about the internet water cooler and the anonymity it provides. One can go on a message board … Continue reading Why it matters
The Celebrity Effect
Good morning! Vacation happened. It was fun, relaxing, and we didn't overspend. And my freezer is well stocked with coffee again. LOL. There's something odd about being an author. Some of us actively pursue it, while others shy away from it. It's the idea of authors being celebrities of a sort. Simply telling new acquaintances … Continue reading The Celebrity Effect
New books, vacations, and when the job doesn’t stop
Good morning! We're off and about today. Heading towards Portland and the Columbia Gorge for a small vacation. One stop is Powell's Books in downtown Portland. Hard to believe it's been almost a year since I signed their Wall of Fame! Yes, I plan to go by and remind myself of that incredible honor. So....'Arine's … Continue reading New books, vacations, and when the job doesn’t stop

Acceptance vs. Approval
Good morning! I'm a little scattered today. Muse the Purrbot is hurt in some way, which makes me unhappy. Trip to the vet is happening in about an hour or so. We don't think it's serious, possibly a pulled muscle or such, but she hissed this weekend. Muse never does that. As authors, we tend … Continue reading Acceptance vs. Approval
When the heat is on
Good morning, everyone! I've got a confession to make. I haven't written my 500 words for a good week. It's been too hot. Yes, I know it's a relative term. This area doesn't see the blistering temperatures other parts of the U.S. do, but we've been warm. And, when you rarely see temps in the … Continue reading When the heat is on
