Okay, so I was trolling the net googling images of green eyes. The main, male character in my book has vivid green eyes and I wanted to look at some colors to get a better idea of the exact shade I wanted to describe in my book. In my head, I picture him as a younger version of David Beckam...even before I knew Beckam had green eyes. Anyway, during ( Read more... )

So I'm back from NYC. Only went for Saturday and Sunday. I went up to see the final performance of Equus. I thought it fitting to have seen the very first Broadway performance and to then see the very last. Seeing it from the stage seating first and then from the audience made a difference. This time I was able to hear certain things better.

So ( Read more... )

Well, I kinda forgot about this, (so that should tell me something) but I submitted my first chapter to Firebrand Literary Agency during their no query project. They said that if they were interested then we would hear something by February 1st...well, I have not heard anything so I guess it's a NO for me ( Read more... )

Well, this will sorta be the year in review. Earlier in the week I was kinda feeling like I had nothing to show for 2008, especially since in 2007 I said 2008 would be my year for my writing career and I am not published, nor do I have an agent. The thing is, I was talking about my writing with my sister last week and the first book I ever wrote. ( Read more... )

So I've like, totally become addicted to the J.D. Robb In Death series. She has like 30 books or something in this series with Lt. Eve Dallas, her sexy Irish husband Roarke and her aid Peabody. I have about 17 of them on audio book, working my way through the series while I sit in my office at work. I actually get mad when I have to answer the ( Read more... )

So I've started in on the second book of Light Bringers (tentatively titled: Venators) while I wait for my beta to come back from her tropical vacation with the last few chapters of my book. Well, I've got about 80 pages done so far, just starting on chapter 8. It's a lot of fun. I mean I am still knee deep into Light Bringers which is complete and ( Read more... )

So I saw this on triomakesmehot so I decided to give it a try. Well, like she said, it's not hard to manipulate to get the guy you want and anyone who knows me, knows who I favor:

Well, I'm home and stuffed! Believe it or not, I didn't have any turkey. Not a big fan of it and despite what people say, I have yet to have any that isn't dry!

This was the year for my extended family to get together (on my mother's side) and have a type of family renunion/thanksgiving dinner. So we rented out a hall and all the older aunts and ( Read more... )

This happens to me every so often. Someone I know will stumble upon a book in either a book store or the checkout line at the market that has my name on it. There is a rather well-known mystery/romance writer with my exact name and it never fails that I'll get a call from someone (who should know better) and it will go like this:

Friend/Family: "Um ( Read more... )

So I've been doing lots and lots of editing of my urban fantasy, Light Bringers. I'm really pumped to have shaved off about 8000 words! It's funny, I thought the story was as tight as it could be but I still felt like something needed to be done. I needed someone to look at it and tell me what was wrong. I am an active member of Absolute Write but ( Read more... )
