Because of repeated emergency website moves, and other unanticipated crises, all the blog posts I have ever written prior to March 2011 (when I went indie) have disappeared…or so I thought. Recently, I found an old archived backup of the site–see, I knew the anal habits of compulsively backing up *everything* would pay off. After […]

I normally mark Remembrance Day each year, but this year is special. World War I, the Great War, was not the deadliest war in history. It wanted wasn’t even the second most deadliest. In a list of total casualties, World War I comes eighth! So why is so much fuss made about World War I?

It’s Halloween! I can’t resist the fun of Halloween. Even though I’ve learned to resist the copious quantities of sugar everywhere, the creepy supernatural origins of the day fit right in with paranormal themed…everything. I can’t hand out candy on the Interweb…not this century. But I can hand out different goodies. A free short paranormal

This is another of the guest posts I did for the launch of Bannockburn Binding, for which the original blog site has since disappeared. As I’ve mentioned before, the timing is coincidental, but interesting, as I’m releasing two time travel stories early next month (here and here). — t. I’ve read any number of time travel novels.

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

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

I just finished rereading Kiss Across Tomorrow, as part of my editing and cleanup process, and I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it. That seems self-aggrandizing, but I’m very pleased to be able to say it, because when I stopped writing the series a year ago, I had started to get a teeny

The title of this post, by the way, is not something I said, but a reviewer. 🙂 When I first started inhaling fiction in every second of my spare time, the only books being released were from traditional publishers. Anthologies back then often had a long, in-depth foreword by the editor, and an additional note

The Branded Rose Prophecy is my longest book ever written. It comes in at 236,000 words. That’s long for anyone. It is nearly 4½ standard books packed together. I had a blast writing it, but it took me nearly a year, and I got very little else written that year. Still, it is one of

I’m currently suffering through the first cold I’ve had in years — and not doing it very gracefully, I might add. It is sapping my energy. So I thought I would post this longish article about paranormal talents — another of a huge group of guest posts on blogs that have evaporated in the meantime.
