Right out of college, I started a book. At the time I was still a huge fantasy book reader and not so much a romance reader. Although, I did tend toward the fantasies that concentrated on characters more than worlds, and those tended to have romance in them. Anyway, I came up with this idea […]

This week was a bad one. No reason in particular other than DIP. I was nearly in tears Sunday and Monday. I’m having the hardest time writing with kids in the house. I’m going to make certain I can take next summer off. I was ready to chuck it […]

I had the neatest dream last night. There was this organization and it was preparing for its annual hunt. They would steal shadows, and later that night would release them.

In Hell, Brent learned that “little” and “cute” didn’t mean feminine or submissive. New band member Hell showed him love and pleasure like he’d never known it. Now, Brent’s late and Hell’s pissed. Hell loves fireworks and he was looking forward to watching the Fourth of July […]

Yes, it’s a brief Monty Python moment …
Kimber, here, blogging today for the lovely and talented L.M. Prieto who is currently neck-deep in pages she’s preparing for a workshop. So she asked if I would drop by and chat a little this morning in her stead. So here I am.
