Forget the Nobel Prize and Carnegie Hall, sometimes my sole ambition for my children is that they grow up to stay out of jail. You might think I’m being melodramatic, but does the school principal have you on speed dial? Does your first grader climb the flagpole or moon his classmates at recess? Don’t get me started on the “kissing” incidents. Go […]
I love a good fairy tale with a Happily Ever After, so Rachel Van Dyken’s dazzling success as an indie / small press author is inspiring to me. Did you hear? She just landed a big New York publishing contract for her New Adult #1 bestselling Seaside series. You’ve probably heard of Rachel’s latest hit, The […]
I loved doing research for my new historical, The King of Threadneedle Street. Shameless litte geek that I am, I enjoyed reading about the 19th-century global economy to write my financial genius hero, Andrew Tilmore. Luckily for you, I’m not blogging about that. I’d like to show you how I wrote my artist character, Alysia Villier. I wanted […]
I’m guest blogging today at Romance Magicians with author M.V. Freeman about The King of Threadneedle Street, my new historical. We talk about star-crossed lovers, mad geniuses, and who claims to be “unaffected by heroic nudity in art.” Stop by and say hello, and there might be a complimentary ebook in it for you! What was the hardest […]
He owns three shipping companies, a diamond mine, and his own castle. He knows Portuguese, Hindu, Mandarin and Morse code. His assets net thirteen million. Lord Preston wants the one thing money can’t buy… (Imagine that intro in James Earl Jones’ voice.) I’m proud to present The King of Threadneedle Street, my newest historical (set […]
Throw out your tired old bargain bin Classical Music album. Here are five lesser-known gems by brilliant but under-appreciated composers sure to provide inspiration for the most transcendent, sophisticated ideas you’ve ever conjured. 1. If you watched Looney Tunes, you know the cross-dressing Bugs Bunny only prances with open arms toward the hoodwinked Elmer Fudd to the sound of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1. With apologies […]
It’s high time for more in the Weird Stuff Kids Say series. Allow me to introduce my good friend and fellow author Christi Corbett, who’s here to present Part 4: Twin Humor. Christi and I have something in common. We both know what it’s like to change a diaper with one hand and fix a Lego rocket with the other. That’s right – we’re […]
Chocolate fondue. Now that I have your attention, may I invite you to visit Romance Recipes today? I’m guest blogging with author Jennifer Lowery in honor of my Amazon Kindle Daily Deal – Song for Sophia is on sale for .99 today only. On the blog I share my best chocolate fondue ideas, of course, and […]
I enjoyed this interview on the Romance Magicians blog. The delightful M.V. Freeman asked me fun, zany questions … I had to explain why my hero is colorblind and why my heroine binges on chocolate. I’m also giving away a digital copy of The Valkyrie’s Guardian for a winning reader, and a chapter critique for a writer. Feel free to stop by […]
Since coming to terms with my Pinterest addiction, I have collected way too many funny cat pictures, along with recipes for fancy desserts I’ll never make. But that’s not what I want to show you. I finally put up a visual inspiration board for The Valkyrie’s Guardian. Celebrity lookalikes, Navy SEALS, Norse mythology, water skiiers … and […]
Moriah Densley loves writing about Victorians, assassins, and nerds. Once upon a time she was a violin teacher, then a 911 EMT, and now she’s an ER nurse, proving she has career ADHD. On days off you’ll find her somewhere on a mountain, trying to keep up with her four grown children and Belgian Malinois, or deep in a pile of rubble you might generously call a DIY project. Published in historical and paranormal romance, Moriah has a Master’s degree in music, is a 2012 RWA Golden Heart finalist, 2012 National Reader’s Choice Award winner in Historical Romance, and 2012 NRCA Best First Book finalist.
