It’s #BookQW and matters of the heart offer a ‘surprise’! More from Chapter 10: The sound of the surf dropped off as soon as they were over the cliff top. They nestled into a patch of dry grass among the heather. On her knees, Luna murmured to the bird, “There, there,” and hummed while […]
For months I’ve had it on my calendar to enter the RITAs, Romance Writers of America’s published romance novel contest. Then after I completed the application, I had it on my calendar to submit my novel files. I completed that, too. Unfortunately, just afterwards a lot of stuff happened within RWA. If you haven’t heard […]
I’m away this week–without a laptop!–and, at this posting, the word of the week for #BookQW (a Twitter book teaser hashtag) hasn’t been posted. I still wanted to post, so have chosen my own! The word will be ‘wizard’ because I’m refilling my creative well and visiting The Wizarding World of Harry Potter with family. […]
I promised a look at this beautiful cover! Read more Salm’s and Luna’s lives along the Scottish coast in Keepers of the Seas Cliffs, on its book page. Preorder Keepers of the Sea Cliffs! Or to be notified when the novel releases, join my mailing list, or follow me on Amazon or BookBub.
It’s #BookQW and ‘nothing’ is going right for Salm and Luna. (Except their cover is being revealed this week!) More from Chapter 6: Shouts leaked from behind the closed door of the keeper’s quarters. Salm cocked his head—no, he shouldn’t eavesdrop. He backed off several steps. Had Luna told her father already? Then he should […]
During this week of promotions and sales, the marketer-wanna-be in my writing life can’t help but point out that my books are available in print paperback. The covers are beautiful and the formating underwent professional attention to detail, if I do say so myself! Check it out: The Windborne series are perfect holiday gifts for […]
It’s #BookQW and a ‘mistake’ can be fun! More from Chapter 17: Hoist the mainsail! Batten down the hatches! Kiss the gunner’s daughter! From the moment Ty climbed aboard The Peaceful Seas, Salm had peppered his instructions with common nautical terms, weird sea references, pirate jargon and…bilge? Salm greeted him with “Ahoy, matey,” but was […]
No efforts on our part seem to keep our wildflower garden thriving. Anything good that sprouts is soon discovered by the deer. So it was with some surprise that they ignored one particular plant. That plant has now bloomed–hugely! It’s a Late-flowering Boneset, Eupatorium serotinum, a giant of a plant at 7 feet high and 7 feet […]
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 ‘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 […]
