Why Anne Louise Bannon Wrote A Ring for a Second Chance
I love Pauline’s basic question – why did I write this? The easy answer is at the heart of everything I write, namely, that the freaking characters won’t let me alone. My head can be a noisy place at times. So why did these characters stick with me and not some others? Why did these…

Scaling the Novel Heights
So, if you follow my author profile, you may have noticed that I haven’t released a novel in a while, other than my short story in Pets in Space (which is now off sale!). In fact, after checking my Amazon Author page, I see I haven’t released a wholly new, only by me project since…

From Reader To Writer: A Weird Journey
I blogged about where we buy books last Wednesday, and it launched some interesting conversations, both on the post, and in some discussion lists where I mentioned it. We all concluded that we were “crazy book ladies,” based on our TBR’s (to-be-read) piles, both physical and digital. I don’t remember the exact moment I became…

Why S. Usher Evans Wrote CONVICTION
A few months ago, I wrote a post for Pauline about Why I Wrote Double Life, the first book in the Razia series. I talked about how Lyssa’s journey to finding herself mirrored my own at the time, and how through her, I was able to find out some pretty revealing things about myself. Fast forward to today, and I’ve just released…
