When I write, I tend to write by the seat of my pants with no outline and very little direction when I start. It’s not because I can’t write an outline though. I’ve found that when I have an outline, I tend to attempt to stick to my original formula and that doesn’t always work [...]
Today is one of those days. You know the ones I mean. Where you start out with the best of intentions and forty minutes in, it all goes down the tubes. Well, that’s pretty much the point I am at.
Got up, got motivated and dressed, and of course hubby decides we need to [...]
Sorry my post is so late, but I was on vacation this past week. Every year my daughter’s dance team goes to National’s for their final competition of the year. While the family went down to enjoy the ocean, pool and lazy river, I was up in the room typing away in order to meet [...]
When a person recently asked me why I write romance instead of real books, you could have knocked me over with a feather. I went on to inform him that the sales for the romance genre speak for themselves. Tell the readers who buy them they aren’t reading real books and see what they say. [...]
All writers have their source of inspiration and one of mine is my dad. Seeing as how today is Father’s Day, I only think it’s fitting I write about him now.

In business they always say you’re only as good as your last product. I’m sure we remember the fiasco all those years ago when Coke put out their new “improved” cola. Can we say FAIL?
In the writing industry, our name and our books are our products. As such, I think we face an even more [...]
We finally made it home after the Lori Foster reader author get together. After a stop in Detroit to see some friends and family, we finally made it home around midnight last night. The drive seemed to take forever but it was worth it.
I saw friends that I haven’t seen in a year [...]
With only one more day before we leave for Cincinnati, my bags are packed and I’m ready to go. At least that’s how the song goes… I’m not so sure. I have a ton of things to load into the car. I have things to put in raffle baskets, plus Bonnie and I are giving [...]
As some of you know this past week has been a myriad of emotions for me. My 24 year old son was home on leave from the Army. This was his last visit with us as he will deploy overseas in the next week. We did everything when he was home. Hubby took him to [...]
