Book Your Trip Now!
When ever anyone asks if I would sign up to go to Mars, the answer is always a resounding NO. I have many reasons why I don’t want to go to Mars: I am old. I do not want to leave my family. #GrandmaProject I don’t actually like adversity. I have seen NO ONE guaranteeing…

Now Why Did She Write KICKING ASHE?
I think it is ironic that my looking back at “why I wrote” post this week is about kicking. Why is this ironic? Because it is August and it likes to kick me around. I could go on and on, but I won’t. Instead, I’ll write about what I’m supposed to write about, namely Kicking…

August Brings Its A-game & I Bring my Kick-Me Sign
So we are officially two-thirds of the way through August, the month that loves to hate on me. I can’t decide if the picture I chose from the hub’s Flickr page is about August figuring out how to further hose me, or that’s a representation of the voices inside my head trying to figure out…

#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 Writer’s Life and #HeroDogs
When I used to imagine what it would be like to be an author, I will confess I focused more on the perceived glamour of being published. Book signings with eager readers lined up for miles waiting for a few seconds of my time and my signature on the flyleaf of a book written by…

Why Veronica Scott Wrote Two Against the Stars
In 2016, Pauline and I were the co-creators of the Pets In Space scifi romance anthology and for that volume, I wrote a novella about an alien empathic priestess held captive by the interstellar mob, and how she eventually attains her freedom. I found myself fascinated by the whole alien empath/interstellar mob concept and the…

Do You Like to Color? #PetsInSpace
So, I made (with a LOT of help) an adult coloring book. For adults. Not adult (as in, well, adult. Okay, the pets are not dressed, but they are pets. They are cute, not sexy.) It’s for Embrace the Romance: Pets in Space 2. See, last year, when we did Pets in Space (we didn’t…

In Which I Remember TANGLED IN TIME
When I started writing Tangled in Time, it was not meant to be so, well, tangled. It was supposed to be a simple mystery story for an anthology with a Texas Landmarks theme. After…possibly six false starts, I almost gave up. Then I started wondering if I could write a short story using one of…

Remembering Why I Wrote Girl Gone Nova
So I finished The Key, aka The Big A** Book, with no plans to write more science fiction romance (you might recall that I didn’t know I’d written SFR at that point. I thought I’d written a) an action adventure that just happened to be set in space; b) a really, really long novel I…
