SFR= Science Fiction Romance. I have just the one novel for adults, but it’s the same story I write in my YA fantasies: love of a [alien] planet, caring for its land and community, a hidden world of fantasy and two characters who can’t seem to find the time around their ‘work’ to fall in […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor ‘might’ be nervous himself. I’ve chosen this particular ‘might’ quote because it illustrates a positive point noted in this week’s review of Guardian of the Pines on Raise Them Righteous: “In particular, Cor’s race and sexuality are admirably front-and-center. Rather than making these incidental facets of his character, they are integral […]
It’s #BookQW and my teen wizards share matching ‘faces’! More from Chapter 11: With a flick of his hand, Salm levitated the towel and magically threw it at her. “Tomorrow, you better wear your wetsuit. Ty can borrow my old one, the green one from before I shot up a foot.” With jerky movements of […]
It’s #BookQW and Quinn is moving ‘fast’ on his takeover plans. More of the excerpt from Chapter 23, in Eve’s point of view: Sabein removed my cape and pointed me to a chair in front of the fire. Then she crooked her finger at Quinn. “Next.” It wasn’t a question, and Quinn knew it. He […]
At the beginning of August, a friend invited us to an old-time coastal camp his family was renting near Phippsburg, Maine. We hadn’t been to the state in 15 years and I jumped at the chance, especially after spending so much time with my book characters, Coral, Ty, Salm and Luna, in their seaside adventures! […]
It’s #BookQW and ‘please’ my heroine would like less drama in her life! More from Chapter 11: While she fastened the cart with a sailor’s knot, Spike approached. “It’s a fine machine.” “Thanks. Name’s Ty. And yours?” “Marlin,” he answered, now all bravado. She straightened, and Ty’s gaze briefly met hers, a smile twitching his […]
It’s #BookQW – and the ‘wait’ is over for my H&H to make a move. More from Chapter 11: Ty scrambled up to sit opposite her. “Geez,” he muttered. “I never would have thought you could do it, as skin—petite as you are.” He grabbed the mainsheet and tiller and steered them toward the dock. […]
It’s #BookQW – and my hero keeps a ‘dry’ sense of humor around the heroine’s family. More from two chapters & two points of view–hers, then his: Coral stepped to the center of the dock, dropped the towel and stripped off the life vest and wet clothes down to her bright blue bikini. No sense […]
One of the neatest things about living close to to Washington DC–and along the Metro line–is being able to drop down to the National Mall and take advantage of free events. Last night, my husband, a good friend and I watched the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum’s #GoForTheMoon production honoring Apollo 11’s 50th anniversary. The […]
It’s #BookQW – and ‘perfect’ timing –it’s release day for Lost Whisperer of the Seas! More from Chapter 8, Trading Confidences: Coral wished Ty’s question was about something else, but he hadn’t wasted time. Nice and open. She climbed off the scooter, using the action to avoid his gaze and decide. Better to tell him […]
