The crowd emitted a buzzing like locusts primed for the opulence of a ripe harvest. The vivid embroidery of their finest kente cloth grew opaque in the heat. No breeze relieved the oppression of the sun. The mingled odors of their bodies clung to the air like sharp vinegar.
Beluu raised his...

Sometimes fan mail is more than just complimentary, as I recently found out. A woman who had read The Third Wish sent a lovely note to tell me how much she enjoyed the story and wanted to know which book to read next. The Genie's Curse is the next book in the series so, of course, I passed the...

The Irish…romantic? Before you roll your eyes and cluck at the idea of the romantic Irish, consider the fact that the basis for any great romance is the language by which that most enduring of all emotions – love – is conveyed. And if there’s one thing the Irish have always excelled at, it’s...

I wasn’t going to answer. The first e-mail came last July. Promo opportunity. “Write a free novella for All Romance eBooks which will be sold to benefit fill-in-the-blank charity.” I didn’t get that far in the reading. I had just written another free story to raise money for another...

I came across this blog entry [The Demanding Precision of Book Arts] today over at the Barnes & Noble site, under the "Unabashedly Bookish" section. Despite the fact that I'm a huge ebook advocate--as you might know from previous blog entries--I have a lifelong appreciation for the...

We want our heroes to be heroic. We want them to have skills and abilities beyond your typical protagonist. Since The Epic of Gilgamesh was first told more than 5,000 years ago (the first historic romance in history), readers have looked to a main character’s strength or insight, virtue or...

Today The Third Wish, my first paranormal romance for Sapphire Blue Publishing, was released...with excitement and trepidation on my part. Why, you ask? Well, yes, it's the sex. This is an erotic romance so, of course, there's sex in it. I actually overlooked the stimulating impact of the level...

We’re a multi-cultural society, a global community of varying histories and legends. And yet, somehow, we all share a fascination with the supernatural … with the idea that the things unseen are not inactive. The concept of myths and legends shared through storytelling is as old as the spoken...

Miserable people don’t want to be that way. Generally, there’s something going on that’s making them miserable. That’s something my Mom used to say. Then she’d prove it, time and again. A churlish cashier didn’t have a chance.
“You probably don’t mean to be, but you’re not being very nice,”...

In the interest of full disclosure, I got this idea from a priest. He was discussing belief and how God wants to help you fulfill your spiritual yearning. So he says, “You know, you hear how a drug dealer will give out little packs, little tastes of a drug. To entice, to hook, to get you to come...

When you're an author, rejection in some form is inevitable. The question is: do you speed along to your destination, never looking in your rearview; or do you gauge your mileage, and use your turn signals so others on the road get a sense of your direction. I started a new blog this past week...

One of the things I love about being a writer is learning through research. And then getting to share this new knowledge with others in the form of a story. Being instinctively interested in myth and cultural superstition, I'm going to go ahead and share some tidbits I recently learned about...

I took my Genie to a flower shop and found some readers among the flowers. A couple of weeks ago, I did a book signing at Fleur de Lys Flower Studio in Philadelphia. An odd venue. But it was the marketing brainchild of my dear high-school friend, Lisa Reed, who is the proprietor of the flower...
