Welcome to my cyber conservatory, a glass-walled, tile-floored, plant-filled room overlooking the tiered gardens of my English country manor.OK, I really live in an ordinary house in Florida, but I can dream, can’t I?After all, that’s what romance writers do, so make yourself at home and join me as I discuss my life as a historical romance author, and life in general…
Today's color is green, for alligators. Actually, alligators aren't green at all, even though people always draw them that color. They're actually black, and blend in...
Well, I was going to wait until my pictures were developed before posting about my experiences at the Romantic Times Book Lovers Convention last week, but seeing as my local...
OK, so Salvador Dali and the Romantic Times Convention have absolutely nothing in common, except that I recently viewed an exhibit of the former and tomorrow I leave for Daytona...
Pigs. What is it about them people love so much? They're fat, sloppy, have short little legs, beady eyes and make funny noises. So why are they so adorable? One of my best...
It's done it's done it's done it's done! I finished my paranormal historical ms. and off it went yesterday, out of my hands and into my agent's and the fates'. ...
When in the world did Fort Lauderdale become such a hoppin' place? When we moved to South Florida about 20 years ago there was nothing and I mean NOTHING going on in that...
Easter came twice this year (actually, it comes twice every year, doesn't it?) and last Sunday I experienced my very first Greek Easter, hopefully not my...

I'm within pages of finishing my wip and I'm nuts -- certifiable. You'd think being so close to the end would bring a sense of relief and spur me on but I find myself...
FINALLY finishing up my paranormal historical manuscript in order to get it off to my agent. It's SO time I was done with it, especially since I'm getting that itch...
Recently we took a "ride" to Tallahassee to tour Florida State University with our older daughter. And I thought, for anyone one else from South Florida thinking about making...
Uh oh, I've been blog tagged by author Teresa Bodwell, whose anthology, MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN COWBOYS, was just released this month. Isn't that a fabulous...
Hey all, there's a CONTEST this month at Your Virtual Book Bag! It's a matching game, where you have to figure out which author wrote which book by visiting their...
I'm a book a year type of author. My process is an evolutionary one, in that I don't have a specific number of drafts but constantly make changes as I go along. Which...
As of this morning I have officially rejoined the ranks of the fit, the near fit and the wannabe fit ( I guess fall somewhere between the latter two). One thing Florida does...
Shoulder still hurting. I went to the doctor and of course got those powerful prednisone pills I didn't want to take, but with pain like this it doesn't take me long to cry...
Wasn't it Roseanne Rosanadana's Nana who always said, "If it isn't one thing, it's another. But it's ALWAYS something." I suppose that's why I woke up yesterday to a major...
Yea, my Ritas are done and the scores are going out in the mail today! I feel so footloose and fancy free. Not that it was a burden -- nothing of the sort. I had some...
