  • The Story Behind the Stories of 2020

    I spent yesterday naming characters for the 9th book in my Project Enterprise series.  It’s a weird thing, naming grownup “babies,” trying to figure out who they are, and what they look like. It will take me a while to understand how they fit together in the story (and some might not make it in),…

  • Take a (last) Chance on #AugustAudio

    This the LAST #AugustAudio giveaway! I can’t believe August is almost over already! Usually it just hangs on and on and on and on…well, you get the idea. August is not usually my favorite month, but I’ve loved August this year. I got to escape the heat AND share some audio books with all of…

  • #AugustAudio: Family Treed

    Well, we’re over halfway through #AugustAudio! If you haven’t tried an audio book, or even if you have, be sure to check out the hashtag #AugustAudio to score some free audio books. This week, I’m sharing a short one. “Family Treed” is the short story between Relatively Risky and Dead Spaces. If you’re not sure…

  • Get Some Action in your #AugustAudio

    I’ve had some really lovely narrations done for my books, but one of my surprise favorites is Girl Gone Nova. You can listen to a sample here. I’m not sure why it surprised me, maybe because I thought it would be a hard book to narrate and it’s LONG. But anyway, I really like the…

  • Turn on an #Audiobook with #AugustAudio

    So we’re two weeks into August and two weeks into #AugustAudio. So far August is winning the most. It always kicks me around, but one thing I do to escape August is put on the headphones and slide into an audiobook. Listening to a book is a fun experience—and very different to reading a book.…

  • #AugustAudio Fun!

    I usually dread August with, well, I won’t say passion, because that takes too much energy, and one does NOT want to ramp the energy output in the heat. That just makes you hotter and it’s already August Hot. Yes, there is such a thing as August Hot. Not matter how hot it is in July,…

  • 501 Blog Posts! Let’s Party!

    Welcome to my five hundred and first blog post! Last month I mentioned I was going to hit 500 blog posts—if I survived the year. Well, Fate has a sense of humor. Or a strong sense of irony. I’m not sure which. Or maybe it’s both. I survived. And got the flu on Day One…

  • As 2013 Lurches Out the Door…

    One of my daughters posted a challenge on FaceBook to do my New Year’s resolutions in one word. I couldn’t think of anything, until I looked back and realized it was actually easy. My word is: hope. (I will add that my other daughter reminded me that I can sum up 2013 with one word,…

  • Read Me a Story…

    One of my favorite memories is being read to by either my mom or my dad. They have very different reading styles. My mom went for the dramatic, doing the voices and the drama. My dad had this endearing semi-monotone, altered only by volume. We all loved both styles, though I think Dad got a…
