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 […]

Today I’m guest blogging with 2012 RWA Golden Heart finalist Terri Osburn at Romance Writer’s Revenge. I talk about why I had to delete the entire first draft of “Song for Sophia” and start over. Find out why I spent months researching calculus and psychological disorders and emerged with an unconventional manuscript which finaled in the RWA Golden Heart contest. […]
I’m delighted to have a historical romance superstar here today. Ladies and gentlemen: Presenting the Incomparable Kaki Warner! *crowd goes wild* I count six releases from Kaki Warner, Bride of the High Country being the latest on June 5th, and no fewer than 10 prestigious awards.

Fellow Crimson Romance author Inés Saint interviewed me today on her blog. We discuss being a Golden Heart finalist, finding the perfect dress, the inspiration behind the characters of “Song for Sophia,” and a hypothetical celebrity kissing question. Check it out: click here to read the interview.
Does anyone else think it’s ironic that a bunch of women write in male point-of-view? Granted, ninety-something percent of romance readers are women, so we probably get away with it. Sometimes. Yes, I know there are men in existence who are in touch with their feelings, who aren’t afraid to talk about relationships and are […]
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.

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.
