Suspense, Passion…Fiction That Flutters The Heart
Ciao, amici! How's it going? I've seen some wonderful vacation pics from a few of you. I hope you're all enjoying your summer. I was not on vacation this week. (Or at all this summer.) And it's either been too rainy or too hot to use the pool. (Yes, it can be too hot to... Continue Reading →
Ciao, amici! Happy Friday! I'm glad you're here. I know it's sometimes hard coming back to a full week of work after a holiday, and by day five, you're exhausted. So thanks for sticking it out and visiting today. I got a lot done this week. New words written. Outlines completed. Documents edited. I admit,... Continue Reading →
Ciao, amici. Charles E. Yallowitz has been writing a series of posts on his site, Legends of Windemere, about bad boys in fiction. (You should have seen my links to the first two posts on Friday's list of links.) Today, he asked for reader interaction. I thought it would be fun to play along, answer... Continue Reading →
Ciao, amici! Happy Independence Day! Yes, I'm a day late. But when you think about it, the holiday is kind of arbitrary. Independence was actually declared on July 2. Congress approved the Declaration of Independence on July 4. It wasn't signed until August 2. So I figure anytime between July 2 and August 2 is... Continue Reading →
Ciao, amici. I want to apologize in advance for the quote of the week. It's not strictly writing-related. Today, the quote's author is unknown. Which is too bad, as I'd like to thank him or her for the wise words: At the end of the day, all you need is hope and strength. Hope that... Continue Reading →
Ciao, amici! How was your week? Mine was a hodgepodge of work and family activities. No two days were the same. I kind of like that (although not when it involves loved ones having surgery---my dog on Tuesday and my dad today). But in general, I think variety makes my mind sharper. I believe it...

Ciao, amici! I've been busy with rewrites and revisions this week, which (for me) is a combination of glee, stress, and oh-my-god-how-do-I-suck-this-much. I'll admit to writing a few beautiful sentences, but I also have to admit to writing a few that simply made no sense. Maybe they would to Lewis Carroll readers (any fans of... Continue Reading →
Ciao, amici! I'm super excited today. I wrote THE END on my rough draft of book 2 of the Astral Conspiracy series. I haven't revealed the title or cover yet, so that's all I can say about that. But I'm in revision-mode, making sure all the threads are properly woven, all the clues are dropped... Continue Reading →
Ciao, amici! The three-day weekend has me all turned around. I'm not sure why, since I worked through the holiday, but I'm muddled all the same. Days off, whether I take them or not, always make the rest of the week hard for me. I never know what day it is, and my plans all... Continue Reading →
