When I wrote Breathe, I never really stopped to think about who the characters in my story might resemble. I had an idea in my head but I didn’t study faces on the street and find people who I thought looked like Sadie or Jax. Their image was safely tucked away in my head. Then […]
Just because I have been writing since I was eight doesn’t mean all those “manuscripts” stuck under my bed are complete. I think maybe one is and it sucks. I haven’t read it in ages but I don’t have to read it to know it sucks. Why? Because I had to force […]
Sometimes you will catch a book review on my blog but it isn’t often. Even though, I read three to four books a week. Trying new authors is also something I am a big fan of doing. BUT….. I do have my favorites. Don’t we all? […]
I woke up this morning and studied the book lying beside me. I’d fallen asleep reading Order of the Phoenix. I am on a quest to reread all the Harry Potter books (thanks to Karly Kirkpatrick’s challenge) before the midnight viewing of Deathly Hallows Part Two. The closer we get to the end […]

I just recently answered some questions for someone I am doing a guest blog for this month. She asked me things I hadn’t really thought about before. The question that had me looking more closely at my weirdness was the one concerning my writing quirks. I happen to suck on Twizzlers […]
My favorite gift on Earth is a Barnes and Noble gift card. I dream about them…lust over them…drool over them…buy them when my husband isn’t looking. It’s an addiction I can’t control. Now, I’m going to share the love and give a $25 B&N gift card away! While you’re racking up on your summer library, […]
