I grew up as a bookaholic--thanks,Mom--so it was natural for me to start writing my own. Unfortunately no matter how natural it was, I didn't start until my early thirties, before computers, and I found typing on a typewriter an onerous process. Actually typing was okay, but revising was the pits.

I dropped that project, but finally came back to it after my life slowed down a bit. By that time, the PC had come into being. Ah ha, says I, now I'll write a book...and so did millions of other wannabe authors. Fortunately my first book,LOVE ON THE RUN, was contracted by Wings ePress in May of 2002. SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS followed in 2003, and THE MAN FOR THE JOB in 2004.

My next project, TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, was sent to various mass market publishers, revisions were asked for by Ellora's Cave and Premium Press America. I also sent to Samhain Publishing. It takes time, but TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE is now available.

Jake's 13 Reasons He didn't Want to go Undercover at at New Orleans Casino
FBI Agent Jake Lefevre is the hero of my almost-here release, HOLDING HER OWN.
1. I grew up in New Orleans. Duh! Someone could recognize me.

2. I’m in recovery from a gambling addiction. Talk about setting the fox in the hen house.

3. My partner’s an uptight accountant with limited undercover experience. If I have to have a female partner, then I need one who can hold her own.
4. My partner’s in charge.

5. My adopted father is gravely ill in a nursing home in DC. I’d rather not leave him.

6. I think my my partner's a screw up waiting to happen.

7. My partner thinks I'm a screw up waiting to happen and will ruin her career.

8. My partner and I are supposed to be madly in love newlyweds.

9. My partner reminds me of my career-focused ex.

10. Did I mention my partner’s in charge?

11. My partner’s new position is a direct result of her father’s being the Secretary of the Interior.

12. I hate nepotism in any form. I think I mentioned SHE'S IN CHARGE.

13. But hot damn, is she hot. Maybe there’s a good side to living together.

3 DAYS TO GO!

Big Weekend Coming
Yes, if you're at the Meet the Authors Dinner at Bays Mountain State Park this upcoming Friday evening, you'll see me in full Roaring Twenties flapper garb. There'll be dinner, a mystery play, and maybe a cover model lurking around. Now that's reason enough for me!


On Saturday and Sunday, there'll be booksignings and tons of exhibits dedicated to women's issues, or at least that's what I figure. It's my first time to attend the Women's Expo, but we'll have some free time to check out the exhibits ourselves. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Tri-Cities area which is a part of Tennessee I've only driven through on the way farther to Baltimore or DC.

What Do You Say When You Have Nothing To Say?
I guess the title of this blog says it all...for the moment anyway. I don't have anything clever to expound. I've spent most of the day working on revising a recently rejected manuscript. That's right, my last MS was rejected, but my editor gave me a wonderful direction. Seems I had two main plots which were competing for prominence in the story, so one of them has to go!

Therefore, one of them is going which means I'm going through the MS word by word removing all references to that part of the plot and re-writing almost as much as I cut. There are a couple of other problems, too, and I'm enhancing the internal conflicts as well as spending more time in my antagonist's head--a very, very scary place.
