I know we’ve talked about tropes together before. There are many tropes romance writers use-and the fun part is if you give twenty romance writers one trope you’ll end up with twenty very different stories. I’ve been doing a lot of reading (and writing) lately and have come upon a portion of a trope […]
Traditions
Ten days until Christmas! Who’s ready? Let the countdown begin, right? We’ve had some Inspy posts regarding Christmas romances. I do love them! And Christmas movies. It’s just the season for goodness and joy and gifts and love. No wonder the books and movies are enticing, drawing us in. One of my favorite things are […]
Romancing the Holidays
Happy Monday! November is half-way through and we’re about to hit Thanksgiving–then full on holiday mode until January! With the holiday season upon us, doesn’t it just bring romance into the air? It does for me. In my romance world I love reading and writing holiday romances. (We won’t even get into the movies, because […]
How Far Will You Go to Meet an Author?
Hi all! Fall is here. I’m being upfront and honest–I don’t care for Pumpkin Spice anything. I hope you’ll keep reading!! Seriously, though, I do need your help. As readers are you interested in meeting the authors whose books you enjoy? I hope the answer is yes. So let’s talk scenarios. Some of you that […]
The Storm Before the Rainbow #giveaway
Back to School Bash time! Always a great time with great books as giveaways. I’m not in the back to school crowd, though, as our children are grown and have their own children. I do remember those days. They’re very different now with all the social media posts. I do remember taking pictures of […]

Beginnings and Endings
Welcome summer! I live in Georgia in the United States, and we’ve been dealing with some massive heat. But I have to say I don’t mind it. I guess I’ve gotten used to the hot weather over the years, and with our son moving to Puerto Rico, well, the heat is just a part of […]
Finding the Perfect Conflict
Finding the perfect conflict. Now, that is a challenge. I usually write the first three chapters of my story, then go back and start figuring out what’s going on. That may sound weird, but it’s how I work. I know my characters, I know my ending, and I know the “Why” question regarding my novel. […]
It Makes Sense #giveaway
Hi all! Happy May. We’re in the southeastern part of the States, and things are heating up! Shorts, cute dresses, and sandals are being pulled from the back of the closets as we speak. Pools are being opened, picnics are being planned, and people are doing all the outdoor things. I love it! But am […]
Storytelling Secrets
Hi all! It’s April, spring is here….I’m just saying it is because here in Georgia we went from hiking in snow flurries one morning to sitting outside in 70 degrees the next afternoon. So maybe if we just call spring out, it will come. For good! No more cold. :) I had the honor of […]
