I do love a bad boy, and Roman Xerus is currently stirring up all sorts of mischief in Blood Stone. I’m nearly 150 pages in, and the story is just settling into the guts and heart of it…I think it’s going to be another long one. I would possibly be a mite further along if […]

Spanking On The Sofa…Are Romances Get Hot All Over? As an author, I’ve found the phenomenal success of the “vanilla BDSM” novella, Fifty Shades of Grey, at times either bewildering, astonishing, or encouraging.

Today is the vernal equinox. You may think this means that there is exactly the same amount of daylight hours and nighttime hours…and you would be wrong.

As I’m quietly and steadily working my way through Blood Stone, and the weekend started out with an empty email in-tray, and nothing moving on Facebook or anywhere else, I thought this was going to be one of those bulletins where I would have nothing to report, except for progress.

Desperado was one long bunch of formulaic cheesy moments, filmed on the tightest of tight budgets. But not nearly as tight a budget as El Mariachi, when Robert Rodriquez checked himself into a research hospital and

I’ve got a pain behind my eyes and my shoulders are hunched as I type this. I’ve spent all weekend — all of it — doing my taxes and filing. Because last year was such a horrid year, I didn’t keep up with my bookkeeping at all. So I paid for it now it’s tax

I’ve made a habit of directing a lot of people over to the Goodreads recommendation lists over the years, and it’s always mildly annoyed me that the lists are subjective and voter driven, and I’m not on them. [What? I’m not allowed to have an ego? 🙂 ] I wasn’t annoyed enough to go vote
