I’m guest blogging today with fellow Crimson Romance author Amanda L. V. Shalaby about my historical novel Song for Sophia. She asked me a question that made me realize all the families in my stories are … well, weird. Check out the interview here. Feel free to stop by and say hello.

Allow me to introduce M.V. Freeman, debut author of “Incandescent,” recently released by Crimson Romance. A favorite read this year, Incandescent has it all, with enough magic, explosions, and combat to keep me happy − more sophisticated people rave about the complex lifelike characters, the sophisticated, highly emotive voice and unique, exciting plot. All I know is […]
Can you think of a caption for this photo? Yes, these are my twins, at age 1. My memory of that year is a bit hazy due to a level of sleep deprivation I bet would make a Navy SEAL cry, but I’m glad I remembered the camera every now and then. The twins celebrated their sixth birthday this summer, and […]
Some stories are so timeless they are produced over and over. Pride & Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights . . . Last time in Top 10 Desert Island Historical Movies, I picked obscurish period films, hoping I might suggest something new you’d want to see, then email me to discuss it late into the night […]
Today I’m guest blogging at Coffee Time Romance. Lately I’ve talked a lot about the controversial aspects of writing an autistic savant hero, but now it’s time to have some light-hearted fun. Speaking of fun, I had way too much it writing a socially awkward character. He’s a disaster, really, especially when he tries to impress Sophia […]
I adore alpha males in fiction. The take-no-prisoners, my-way-or-the-highway, dragon slayer types. I even cheer when they mess up and land themselves in trouble with the heroines, because it’s true to life, and I like seeing how couples work through conflict. “The course of true love never did run smooth,” and all that. With apologies […]
Is it just Las Vegas–home of plus-size metallic spandex–or are this year’s fashions downright ugly? I know, I’m a novelist, not a fashionista, but even this t-shirt-and-jeans gal noticed that none of the current fashions are wearable. Look at this cocktail dress made for domestic-minded fairies in colors stolen from the Playdough collection. Gotta love the floppy hip pockets and industrial-grade zipper. […]
Join me and M.V. Freeman today at the Romance Magicians blog. We discuss why the hero of “Song for Sophia” is Rain Man with “X-Men” Wolverine’s attitude in Jude Law’s body, I swallow my pride and tell the contents of my rejection letters, why it was worth it to fight for my unconventional story, and Wilhelm […]
I’m heartened by the recent excitement about Downton Abbey – does it mean historical stories are going mainstream again? Here are my Top Ten Favorite Historical Movies, in no particular order. Some you may have seen, and some I bet you haven’t. Fall in love all over again with these outstanding historical adaptations. Desert Island Top 10 Historical Movies: 1. […]
