When I first started writing for Ellora’s Cave, way back when, the covers they gave me for my books sucked like a vacuum. I’m not being mean. They really did suck. In those days, the new electronic publishing industry didn’t understand how critical covers were for readers. Although I cringe to do this, I am going […]

I think I might get used to this. Monday’s Facebook Live session (here and here on YouTube, too, or just click on the embedded video, below) was not nearly the same stress-inducing, get-me-out-of-here experience as the first week. I actually managed to relax a bit. One of the questions I failed to answer yesterday, I
I don’t usually go on spending sprees but lately, I have been dropping a few dollars (which is quite a few dollars in Canadian currency) on some stuff you might find interesting. Come and check out my stash at 2pm MST this Monday, on Facebook Live — I’ll host the video on my author page. I’ll

I didn’t melt, either. It took me 24 hours to recover–huge munchies and biiiiig sleep, afterwards! Yes, I survived my first Facebook Live session! Click here to see the replay. I will be running the sessions every Monday from now on. If you’d like to download and save an appointment for them to your calendar
My thanks to you for reading and enjoying my stories this year! Tracy.

I honestly didn’t think I’d manage to pull this off. A few weeks ago, it was brought to my attention that November 11 this year is the one hundredth anniversary of Armistice Day — known as Remembrance Day by many western countries. As a history nut, I was appalled I had nearly missed this significant

I am immersed in significant historical dates this week. Later in the week or next week I will be talking about a project based upon another historical event which consumed nearly a week of my time and *nothing* else got done while I finished it…but it was so worth the headaches and sleep deprivation. The

Book 7 of the Scandalous Scions series was released a few days ago. I’ve mentioned before and elsewhere how much fun I had writing this particular book. It was one of those bonus books that authors sometimes talk about, when the story “falls out” of them. That’s what Season of Denial did for me. Unlike many of

This is a series I wrote and released on this day seven years ago. As it turns out, I was prophetic. Just about everything I spoke about in this series is more or less the state of the industry right now…or heading there. For that reason, I’m bringing it forward again, so it doesn’t get

It is sheer coincidence, but this week I seem to be talking about character inspiration all over the place. I was talking about the character inspiration for Neven in the Kiss Across Worlds book on my newsletter. I’m also currently plotting book 9.0 of the Scandalous Scions series (which currently has no name), and thick in
