The Happy Onion is NOW AVAILABLE from Samhain Publishing! Yay! This is a romantic comedy. Fun and lighthearted. LOTS of sex and hardly any angst, unless you count me having my usual meltdown trying to finish that last 10K or so *g*
Here’s the blurb and an XXX-cerpt, enjoy!

Liberal vegan meets corporate carnivore. What could […]

But it’s not a deadline clock like Maura’s or Luisa’s.
It’s better. It’s the clock counting down to the publication of my first novel, Phoenix Rising, from MLR Press.
*looks around for confetti*
I finished the very minor edits from the proof-reader yesterday and sent the ms back to my editor who assures me that we are a […]

The interview will be posted on her blog Monday July 28th, along with reviews of Untamed Heart and my upcoming release The Happy Onion. Click here to see her blog! She’s got a review of my […]

I made a joke earlier this week to the cps. Something along the lines of I’d hope one day to be able to write without various things in my life going to hell. But then, I may not know HOW to write without strife. OK, not a very funny joke.
In the last two weeks, I […]

I’m late. I hate being late. At this rate my editor will be sending me hate mail and locking me in a cold room with only a laptop with no internet for company.
But I think I need a crowbar.
Brand, my tattooed and hunky erotic chocolatier, is being a problem-child. I know he’s the strong, silent […]

The title, you ask? shrug I’ve no clue. The Viciously Evil Plot Bunny is the “God of Titles” and he’s gone MIA. I’d ask Brenda but she’d offer up the same title she always does, “This book needs a damned title” aka TBNADT. Funny, but not very helpful.
I started […]

Nudge me.
With those two words, I began sending chapters to the crit group this week. Chapter one, introduce characters. Chapter two, sex scene. Chapter three, phone call in the middle of the night. Chapter four, so on, and so on, with me revising and sending chapters out, and them reading and getting back to me.
And […]

Apparently, I’ve developed rather a reputation for being cruel to my characters. All my CPs now go around threatening to “sic Ally on ‘em” whenever some character or other is misbehaving.
I swear, you evicerate one hero, and people start talking. He’s a shifter! He healed!
Sigh.
Heh :P I kid. I loooove being mean. Makes […]

Man, I swear! Is it 2 weeks or 2 months that take place between one chapter and the next? Is that enough time for such-and-such to happen? But If it takes that long/little time, then what the heck is someone else doing in the meantime. Nope, it’s gotta be… but wait, if it takes that […]

You all know about DIP Disorder aka Deadline Induced Panic. But I think there is another disorder lurking about. PMD Disorder aka Post Manuscript Distraction Disorder. Here is the deal I finished TEA, but now I need to get to work on a new MS. Have I done that yet? […]
