I've blown through my queue again and there was a week without a post. My apologies. That should be a good indicator that things are hectic. Baby is wonderful and I love her insanely. She just gets cuter and smarter and more wonderful every single day. The weirdest...
One of the projects I've been working on for a while but never really talk much about here is TheLibrary (project nickname, obviously). It started out as a short story then I realized it would be much longer than originally planned and started to write it as a novel...
The 2013-2014 Playscripts Catalog will be coming to a subscriber's mailbox near you soon but, in the meantime, you can grab an electronic copy right now here. Though Polar Twilight was actually released before the 2012-2013 catalog was released, it was out just a few...
I'm writing this on Friday night (7/26) but I'm going to schedule it to post on next Tuesday. Why? Because, as I write this, I am at 9,117 words for July out of my Half NaNo aka my 25,000 goal for July. That's 36% of my goal so it's not like I completely embarrassed...

People always ask me how I find time to blog so regularly in between everything else I do and I want to let you in on a little secret: I don't blog regularly at all. I blog very sporadically and I just make my various blogs seem like they have a regular posting...
As you may recall, I drastically slashed my writing goals for the year because this was going to be such a wild year, my first as a new parent. Here's a little visual on how that's going: Let's just say, the writing is clearly not happening every day as it is supposed...
My mother is a voracious reader, reading often a book or more a day. While she likes a variety of genres from paranormal to historical, they almost all have some element of romance to them. If you've read any romance books, however, you know that, no matter how...
My mother rounds up. "You better finish your homework. It's already 9 o'clock!" she's say and a glance at the clock would reveal that it was actually only 8:15. You can say that she was trying to trick us but I've seen it happen in too many situations to believe that...
