I’m so honored to be part of the new journey of See Jane Publish. We launch today! “In June of 2011, three friends got together to blog out their trials, tribulations, and triumphs on the road to romance publishing. As with many journeys, their paths to publication wended and wandered, and their destinations took them further afield from See Jane Publish. So now eight new friends have stepped out onto the yellow bricks to share their adventures along the way.” Diagnosis, with the help of a doctor, can help you out and be your best friend! There are several different …

The Fantasy, Futuristic, and Paranormal chapter of RWA invited me to do another blog post. Today I’m over at their place, talking about: At a recent reading in my town, author Craig Johnson talked about how much he liked Robert Taylor’s audition for the role of Sheriff Walt Longmire in the A&E TV series based on Johnson’s Longmire novels (Viking).

I’m visiting my family in Sweden for a couple of weeks. The country is experiencing a heat wave and it is either hot and sunny or hot and muggy every day. Homes here do not have air conditioning, but I’ve found an awesome spot on my parents’ back patio that’s in the shade for most of the day. My mom’s quite the gardener, so I enjoy her flowers while working in this corner. Sometimes, even that lovely shaded table gets to be too hot and I instead move to the local library, a mere two minutes of walking down the …

Many years ago, I went to my very first writers’ conference. More than a little frightened and overwhelmed by the number of workshops and the large egos of some of the writers, I considered staying in my hotel room the second day. Instead, I pulled on my big-girl panties and braved another day of feeling out of place, answering rude questions, and attending workshops that taught me I would probably never make it as a fiction writer because few people ever did. That afternoon I attended a panel of romance writers. As soon as I stepped into the room, I …
