Chicks-n-Scratching

Since I spoke on villains the other day, I thought I’d give a breif word on the rogue. You know those badder than bad hunky heroes who would rather leave a gal (or guy) bleeding than lift a finger to help…until his conscience gets the better of him. The first rogue I ever fell in [...]

It has come to my attention recently that etiquette is a dying art. Manners are falling out of favor under the press of convenience and modernism. This makes me insane. Is it really so difficult to say please and thank you? Is it such an imposition to actually respond to an RSVP request? I’m not [...]

I love villains. Not real life, honest to hell bad guys. No, I’m talking about the multi-layered forces of e-val who populate the pages of my books. Well, not just mine, but other peoples books, too. Let’s face it, villains are more fun to write than the good guys. Lacking a moral compass or a [...]

At church this week, we had a lovely young lady do a glorious solo for us. She’s been singing at our church for ages, and the associate pastor pointed out that she is now a rising senior at the Boston Conservatory. I nearly fell out of my chair, as I could have sworn we only [...]

I’m supposed to blog today and damned if I can think of a topic. I’m hip deep in edits (which I actually love) and trying to get the kids set for back to school (not until Sept. 7th which is cruel parent abuse I think). Since I can’t think of a topic, you are all [...]

You’ve never heard the fable Rumpelstiltskin told like this … Due to her father’s constant bragging, word of Anna Miller’s beauty and virtue piques the interest of King Thomas. Upon taking the boasting of her father too literally, the king of Grimbros imprisons Anna and threatens to kill her and her father if she fails [...]

TALK DIRTY TO ME “Tell me what you want. Talk dirty to me.” Biologist Nora MacGregor is frantic when she loses her dissertation notes on female sexuality—and some very personal fantasies. Then a sinful stranger calls with a wicked proposition: if she talks dirty to him, he’ll return her notes, page by page. “James” allows [...]
