This post first appeared on the blog in March 2012. It was, alas, one of the final posts in a series I wrote about vampire powers. [The very last post in the series, if you’re curious, was “Vampire Powers – Holy Objects, Garlic“, in June of that year.] The earlier posts in the series were […]

I first published this post on March 19, 2011. It was a little post about some of the cool historical research I was doing at the time, for a book I was planning to write that would later become Kiss Across Chains. This little nugget post ended up being one of the most popular posts on

In the last few weeks I have been holding a discussion with my readers via the newsletter, about what they want to read. The discussion was sparked by Street Team members telling me I was wrong to stop writing Science Fiction Romance. That gave me pause, because my Street Team are a microcosm of my

Blood Knot was the very first book I indie published, on March 11, 2011, which is very nearly exactly seven years ago. Seven years isn’t a lot of time in the grand scheme of things, but the indie publishing world has evolved and re-invented itself a dozen times since then. The cover I had for

Actually, it wasn’t just one email. I’ve been getting a lot. They go, more or less: I love, love, love the Kiss Across Time series.

I couldn’t help myself. I did it again. What, do you ask? I set a book in Canada. In the Rockies. Again. Can’t help myself. I have to break out every now and again and put in a bloody great rock or two as a backdrop. 🙂 For those of you familiar with the Destiny’s

Sometimes the passage of time sneaks up on you and smacks you in the face. Actually, not just sometimes, but usually it likes to knock you off your feet, just to keep you humble. I was talking to a long time reader of mine via email the other day and she mentioned that she “discovered”

A few days ago in the newsletter, I gave readers a quick breakdown, a 101 (actually, more like a 0.0001) lesson on how to pronounce Welsh words and names. Then I found out that I have some readers actually living in Wales! So cool! All of them were very kind and didn’t point out any

Following up on my speed-kills post the other day (“Unbearable“), when I explained how I shot myself in the foot, and didn’t have a book page to point to, even though I had finished the book…. Well, now I have the book page and the cover. As predicted, Dar Albert has done a wonderful job
