This week I sat down and went through my more spamiferous email accounts and the pending comments for this site (I generally do this once a week). On this site there were 189 spam messages. Of which, 28 were caught by the spam filter. In each of the two yahoo accounts I still have left [...]

Greetings! I’m writing this (slightly late) blog post on a rushed Friday night after working my “grown up job” all week. I know that a lot of you work at regular 9-5’s and are also trying to make it in the writing world. Some of you stay at home and have put in way more [...]

A story caught my attention and had me seeing red. So, naturally, I thought I’d share (because why be ticked all by myself, right?).
Early last week, I heard about the site fabulis – a gay-themed travel start-up. They launch a little later this year, but they have a whole slew of cute and interesting little [...]

Taking a page (or a few lines) from Inez,  I thought it would be fun to post five excerpts from a manuscript that I am slugging through edits on (prior to submission).
As it stands, it’s kind of a Hollywood/Waitress Cinderella thing. I can’t decide if it’s a romcom or just a sexy contemporary. I have [...]

Thirteen randoms snippets from upcoming books…
Talk Dirty to Me…
13- “Your past lovers must all be blazing idiots who couldn’t fuck their way out of a wet dream.”
12- Nora shifted and her lab coat fell open. The dark olive sweater lent a hint of green to her eyes and offset her skin. It did a world [...]

Yet again the BFF comes through with the WTF moment. Today, she was talking with an acquaintance – an acquaintance who styles herself as person who goes to the theater, ballet, all the high brow cultural stuff. [I love the symphony, enjoy the ballet, and am ambivalent about Broadway but passionate about Shakespeare, so take [...]

Or at least reconnecting.
There are times when I’m so submerged in my writing that I don’t stick my head up long enough to take a look around me. That’s fine. I’m not saying it’s bad or I need to feel like I’m an awful person. It just means that I’m working really hard and trying [...]

Everyone has one.

Be it shoes, clothes, video games, comic books or ceramic ducks. Every woman (*or man!) has something that they obsess over and collect dozens of multiples of.

That little something is your guilty pleasure. It’s that thing that you are always on the lookout for when you go shopping, when you travel, when you want a pick-me-up, whenever…

Little known fact about Inez:
I have a degree in Creative Advertising. Most people despise commercials but I love them, or at least, I like the good ones.  A good advertising jingle or slogan can catapult a product into an American Icon. I mean, think about it. Had you ever even heard of Aflac Supplemental Insurance [...]

Really? This can stop any time.
Normally, in any given year, my area will get one, maybe two big winter storms. Even so, those are more often ice than snow, and they aren’t that big. The largest accumulation I’d seen (aside from my visit to the Rockies) was the nearly 36 inches we got in the [...]
