Thanks for having me back once more to talk about the story behind the story on my latest scifi romance! Coming to your blog to explain why I wrote each book is such a treasured part of my new release process. I think the first thing I need to say is that I really try…

Get Lost in an Adventure
Did you watch the original TV show Lost in Space? Love or hate the movie adaptation (I hated it)? I have a love/hate relationship with “lost somewhere” movies, books, etc. On the one hand, I love “fish out of water” stories (characters in an environment not familiar to them), but after a while I get…

#LookingBack at Why I Wrote STEAMROLLED
So I’ve been pretty slammed this summer and have not had time to corral authors into showing up here (other than the lovely Veronica Scott!). So I’m continuing my look back at some of my “why I wrote” posts. And because I just released a new book in my Project Enterprise series, I thought some…

The eagle—I mean the book—has landed! Found Girl: Project Enterprise 6 is on sale! No more preorder! Yes, I might be happy dancing. In my sad, old lady, dead author way. H Humor me. It feels like it’s been an eternity coming. The last Project Enterprise book released, maybe four or five years ago? Yeah,…

Yours on one leg, Chilean Flamingo But some other birds are pushing back. Here are some of the comments I’m getting from birds (translated for your convenience, of course):…

Why Tonya Cannariato Wrote The Builders
This story started as many of mine do: As a compelling dream. In it, a woman with amazing body art was depressed because she’d been sent on a mission to find “generators” for her dying race, and she was failing her quest. Her understanding of the word meant she’d all but whored herself out testing…
