Nine years of blogging! The best thing I’ve learned from blogging is the sense of community. Bloggers come from all over the world and from different walks of life and are from a wide range of ethnic and religious backgrounds. I think that’s what makes each post uniquely entertaining and beneficial from a learning standpoint-…

#BookBlast- My Journey to a @bookBub with Twilight’s Encore #RomSuspense #Reading
Twilight’s Encore, book 3 in the Wounded Hearts series, is on #sale until September 12th! Every month I submit one of my books to BookBub in the hopes of scoring one of their career-changing Feature ads, and usually I get a ‘sorry, we only accept a small number of stories turned in’. I can understand…

Ways to Inspire Your Writing #WritingTips #WritingCommunity
Ways I’ve found to inspire my writing I often get asked where I go for inspiration. There are literally a million different storylines out there- you just have to be open to ideas. The other night, on America’s Got Talent there was a trapeze act where the woman flipped in mid-air over a fiery pit…
Series or Standalones- Does it Matter? #amwriting #Romance
Series or Standalones That was the question posed by a member of The Story Empire earlier last week. You can read his full thoughts here– well worth your time. I’ve read many great standalone books, (Cinderella anyone?) but have to admit I enjoy stories set in a series much more. There’s a deeper connection to a) the characters,…
Spinning Tires #WritersLife #amwriting
Spinning My Tires Lately it feels as though my writing has come to a standstill and I’m just spinning tires without going anywhere. We were talking about this at my local critique group meeting and I realized- thankfully- that at least I’m not alone with this dilemma. Some call it writer’s block or writer’s slump,…

Celebrating a Milestone- Realizing a Dream #Romance #Writer #eNovAaW
Celebrating a Milestone Five years ago, I decided to quit feeling sorry for myself and do something about it. You see, I’d recently moved away from home and was lost and lonely. But, I had a dream. One I’d carried in the back of my mind for years. I wanted to write a book. Deciding…
#Writing like a Beast #Romance #mgtab
I’ve been staring my climatic moment in the eye for weeks now and it just won’t cooperate.
Celebrating a #CoverReveal with a #Free day! #mgtab
One of the first things any potential buyer is drawn to, whether online, a library, or in a brick and mortar store is a standout cover. It is critically important that YOU, as a hard-working writer, DO NOT skip this important marketing step.

Finding Your Voice #Writertips #amwriting
Do you have a favorite author? One whose pages you could read without seeing the cover and you’d STILL be able to say without a doubt, yes, that is definitely their book?
I thought so 🙂
That’s voice!
Help, my secondary character is taking over the book! #amwriting #Romance #mgtab
Have you ever started to write a book and had a secondary character try to take over the story? It doesn’t matter how hard you work at putting them on the sidelines, they keep popping up at the most inopportune times. I’ve found it’s better to go with the flow and see where it takes…
To #Blog or Not to Blog, that is the Question #Writerslife #mgtab
To blog or not to blog; I hear this question often. There are many demands on a writer’s time. Most of us have families, day jobs, pets, houses to clean, yards to maintain, the list goes on and on, so how are we supposed to keep up a regular blog as well? And why should…
The Snowball Effect #Writertips #HolidayRomance #mgtab @mimisgang1
The Benefits of a Writer’s Group A few months ago Mimi Barbour, creator of The Authors’ Billboard, a group of over thirty bestselling romance writers, came up with the ingenious idea of setting up box sets varying in size from six to eight books and enrolling them into the Kindle Select program. The hope…
Hearing Your Hero For the First Time #AudioBook #mgtab @Audible_com
It’s hard to express the feeling I had this week when Audible released Missing: The Lady Said No to audiobook. Hearing your hero speak for the very first time is indescribable. I’ve been waiting for ACX- (Audible Creation Exchange) the company that produces audiobooks for leading suppliers such as Audible, Amazon, and I-tunes to allow Canadians…
