This is a blog post I've put off writing for a while. Probably for much longer than I should have. But, the time has come for me to finally put things into perspective and into words not only for myself, but also for my readers and book friends.

After much reflection an...

...the author world is getting ridiculous with drama in 2019.

There, I said it. And now that I have, grab a cup of coffee and settle in...because I'm about to get opinionated.

I've sat back and watched things unfold over the last couple of months. Seems like every week i...

This may be one of the toughest blog posts I’ve had to write. As many of you know, I’ve taken the last few weeks away from social media to step back, breathe, and do some soul-searching. I’ve come to some decisions, a few some are not going to like, but in the end, it...

We have all heard of at least one author who causes an uproar or at the very least, drama. And we all know (or should know) that we don’t want to be “that” author. The indie community can be a wonderful place, when not polluted with a few entitled divas who want to sho...

This month's author interview is with the one and only romance author Tiffany Carby! Let's dive in and get going, shall we? :) 

Where are you from? 
Kentucky

How did you get started as a writer? 
I’ve been writing since I was a child! My first “published” work was in fif...

2018 has been a long year for me, it seems. And I know why it feels that way.

Boy, do I ever know.

I can admit this now.... I was overly ambitious with my writing and publishing plans for this year. And, rather than dramatically adjusting my schedule or plans, I pushed...

I decided to do a little something fun for this blog post. I recently had a thread on Facebook where I asked other authors to give reasons why writers are insane. And they were all valid...but these are what I consider the top reasons why you see writers sitting in a c...

Where are you from? 
The Inland Empire of Southern California

How did you get started as a writer? 
I've always had an active imagination. When I was really little I would play all day making up stories for my Barbies to play out. I wrote my first real story in second...

Per se. Okay, let me lay the groundwork here.

Anyone who knows me knows Nora Roberts is my all-time favorite author. Not just in romance, but across all genres. Have you ever read someone’s work and it instantly clicks for you? This is me with her books, from the very...

I had the absolute pleasure to interview the ladies from Red Hatter Book Blog recently and let me tell you, these chicks are a RIOT! But don't take my word for it...read on and get to know the beauty and brains behind RHBB!

Who are the people who make up Red Hatter Book...

I had the opportunity the other day to chat with an author I not only consider a friend, but someone I admire as an author and business person. when I first started out, she was one of the first people to offer a hand when I needed it. When I asked her about a project...

Starting a little something fun here called Turning the Tables, where I interview bloggers (instead of the other way around!). It's something I'm going to try to do once a month, to help shine a light on blogs and bloggers who are making a difference in the indie autho...

Today I'm joined by fellow romance author Lorah Jaiyn and we're talking about how we plot our stories. I'm a definite planner, whereas Lorah is a pantser. We'll each talk about what our respective terms mean and how we work with it. Hopefully, this will give those unsu...

I wasn’t going to address the situation currently exploding all over social media. I tend to try to focus on my own work and stay out of the drama, but this is far more than that. And a comment made during a conversation with a friend who is an aspiring author made me...

Jezza Shale is on her way for a summer weekend getaway with her boyfriend. Upon arriving, at the Sandy Cove, she checks in and waits for him to arrive. He never shows. Torn between concern and rejection, she decides to take a walk on the...
