  • EDGE OF NEVER Release Day!!!

    I always love and hate release day. It’s wonderful. It’s terrifying. It’s the moment of truth. Will they or won’t they (readers) like it? And here it is! And I’m biting my nails! The Edge of Never release day! When I first saw the “call” for stories for this set—a paranormal romance/urban fantasy—I kind of…

  • Favorite Fictional Character?

    Greta van der Rol and I seem to be pinging ideas off each other. She blogged about going home after I blogged about it (different take, but fun) and here I am pinging off her post about favorite characters. I often get asked which is my favorite character or book. It’s a hard question, rather…

    A Peek at SPECTERS IN THE STORM

    This is almost a time travel post since it is the first excerpt from Specters in the Storm, dating back to when it was in the Edge of Never boxed set.   A (time-bending feminist) detective newly arrived in 1905 must embrace a (fact-loving stuffy) professor to defeat a deadly evil threatening the fabric of the world. ***** The…

  • The Bad Guy Was Still Out There – Why I Wrote Steamrolled

    I recently got an awesome fan letter for Steamrolled. He wrote that it had the “most unique and original views on time travel” he’d come across in his fifty years of reading. That email pretty much made my day, cuz writing that book almost made my head explode. Seriously. I knew it was pretty crazy…

  • Steamrolling #TeaserTuesday

    I thought I’d tease Steamrolled this Tuesday (and you can read Part One for free!) And continuing with the “first meet” teasers, here you go: “Robert had zero experience with women, but his senses were kicking out warnings he lacked key data to accurately assess. Despite the warnings he was not averse to shifting in her direction…

  • A Tangled #TeaserTuesday

    I seem to be focusing on first meetings with my teasers this month. So please “meet” Tangled in Time and hope you’ll enjoy this look at Carey and Olivia’s first meet: “For most females of her acquaintance, a parasol was the final touch in a proper ensemble, but Miss Olivia Carstairs never felt completely dressed without her…

    Why I Wrote 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…

  • Some More Quirky 🙂

    I came to this video by a very quirky path. I saw the tree from yesterday’s blog post, and for some reason thought about Euell Gibbons and his “ever eat a tree” commercial. Just for the record, I did try to track that down, but it does not seem to be readily available on YouTube.…

  • Quirky is my Happy Place

    Quirky really is my happy place, so I had to share this photo from the hubs Flickr stream. I also like trees, but that is another blog post. Though can’t you totally see this one with a Swiss Family Robinson type house? (Is this what happens when you cross your brain with a quirky tree…

  • Fried Olives? For reals? And another audio book…

    I have to laugh, because when the hubs comes home from one of his photo expeditions and I ask him how it was, I get, “Fun.” Or “Good.” Then he starts posting the pictures and I see his scenic route and probably his eating route. LOL So, it’s Thursday, which means I have another audio…
