Oi! I have had a BELLYFUL of rants against the RWA this past week. RWA is one of the biggest professional writers organizations, with lots of newbie support & education, local chapters, contests, conferences, the PRO & PAN programs, networking and the National Convention. The whole controversy centers around Ebook authors having extra hoops to get into PAN and NOT being eligible to enter the RITA (pubbed club & contest). I'm an Epubbed author, have been w/RWA since 2002 and I guess… Continue

Jalad appeared at uneven intervals with water, but no food. He hauled her icy body against his warm one, whispered of hot food, hot baths and his own warm bed. “Serve me. I will make you great. I can give you pleasure, riches, power. Yield, and all this goes away. Do you want to die alone? Cold and fil… Continue

Holy Hannah! Been having a horrific time trying to figure out how to insert a picture/book cover image INTO an email. I am not the most patient person, and was getting really aggravated. Called my friend Laurel and she walked me through how to find what server I was on & whether I was a POP or a HTTP - all without laughing too hard at me. But SUCCESS - I managed to post Duality's cover to the PNR Haunt before the midnight expiration! Continue

Two weeks until my first release, Duality, comes out. It's been a long road. Started a writer's group in the Wausau WI Barnes & Noble (in Rib Mountain, which, from someone who's seen REAL mountains - it isn't!) and brought my muse-from-hell along for the ride. Mine's a big red dragon - see my website. I had a character in the back of my mind - a cranky half-dragon fire mage - with no scenes or anything. Asked the group if I should run with it. Been reading fantasy my whole life. Didn't know… Continue
