Okay, I was tagged by Dejay, author of Redemption, Strangers, and Sisters, in the #mywritingprocess blog series. Authors blog about their writing process and then tag someone else to do the same. We all answer the same four questions. So, here are mine. #1 What am I working on? I’m on high gear right now … Continue reading My Writing Process

All You Can Eat
ANNOUNCEMENT Can I be more excited? I don’t think so. After having it on hold for the past several years, I can finally announce the upcoming release of All You Can Eat: A Buffet of Lesbian Romance & Erotica. This is an anthology of stories that have food as a central theme. Andi Marquette, my … Continue reading All You Can Eat
Pay It Forward
I recently visited a friend down South and something interesting happened. We went to have breakfast in a local diner and as we approached our table, my friend noticed that there was a credit card on the table. She picked it up and gave it to the server, who brought it to her supervisor. As … Continue reading Pay It Forward
Happenings Within Reason
People keep telling me that everything happens for a reason. It would be nice to believe that. It makes everything bad that happens seems not so bad because there’s a purpose for it. Sometimes we get actual proof that a bad or inconvenient event led to something good. The examples I always think of in … Continue reading Happenings Within Reason
On Writing and Limes
I initially started writing this blog about winter and how it has kept its long, cold grip on us longer than any of us would have liked. Then, in looking at weather patterns, I ran across a couple of articles regarding the lime shortage. I don’t know how many of you were even aware that … Continue reading On Writing and Limes
The Fear—and Power—of Saying “No”
I have a very difficult time saying no. Many people have this problem. It’s the fear of losing a job or opportunity, disappointing someone, or both. For me, it’s both, but it’s particularly the former. I think it’s because I’m not 25 anymore and I’m just starting to figure things out, which means I have … Continue reading The Fear—and Power—of Saying “No”
Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign
Do you believe in signs? I don’t, and I’ll tell you why. There were many times when I saw “signs,” which, by anyone’s definition would be something that appears in a person’s life that connects them to something specific. Right? Which, translated, would be some sort of coincidence. Okay, so I’ve experienced many such coincidences … Continue reading Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign
The Road Not Taken
Many things have changed for me in the last few years, in all aspects of my life—my work life, my love life, and my writing life. And in all those areas, I’m meeting many new people and doing many new things. All of which have led me to a lot of thinking about roads taken … Continue reading The Road Not Taken
The Tiger Behind the Tree
All my life, I have fought my gut. What I mean is, I’ve gone against my instincts. Just like a gazelle can sense a tiger nearby (let’s just assume that they co-exist in the same habitat), we all have an innate sense of danger, that thing inside of us that tells us that bad things … Continue reading The Tiger Behind the Tree
Hope Springs Eternal
For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been holding my breath. A co-worker told me that she’d heard on the news (and from another person in our facility) that the flu season would be done in two weeks. Of course, I took this with a grain of salt. There was no guarantee that that would be … Continue reading Hope Springs Eternal
