I have just finished reading the most fascinating book, Royal Affairs, by Leslie Carroll.
She has a blog about the book here:  www.royalaffairs.blogspot.com, filled with even more info.
If you love kings and queens, you will LOVE this book.  I was shocked at some of the things I discovered while reading it, and couldn’t put it down.  Ms. [...]

I love history. When I was a little girl and I was bored, I’d read the encyclopedia Britanica. Not kidding. So I’ve enjoyed the research that has gone into my current novel. But, but but but but…I fear I have overloaded my brain and it is spilling onto paper.
While my book is set during the [...]

When you dream, do you use that in your stories? I’m not talking about the kind of dreaming where you fall asleep thinking of your story and a plot problem is solved. I’m talking about those random, you-wake-up-rubbing-your-head-wondering-where-did-that-dream-come-from, sort.
 
You see, I’ve killed people in [...]

Sadly, I’m not one of those who will be heading to San Francisco this year. I’ll be hanging out at the Divas, for the NGTCC (Not Going To Conference Conference) but I have to wonder. Was this my year? I’ve only attended one so far, and had such an awesome time doing it, meeting [...]

This is my last post at Romantic Inks, and I wanted to say thanks to all the Inkers for making me so welcome. It’s been fun hanging out here - no doubt you’ll see me flitting in and out once I return from my holiday.
When I first started writing, I learned there were specific rules [...]

Who doesn’t love a man in a kilt?  I don’t know what it is…  Is it because we know he’s naked underneath?  Or because it brings to mind strong warriors?  Or is it that his muscles bulge on his torso, arms and legs…  Why do you like a man in a kilt?

Since I’m celebrating my return to the classic historical romance with my new Avon release SOME LIKE IT WICKED this month, I thought I’d share some of my techniques for dealing with those who just don’t “get” our genre and aren’t shy about revealing their prejudices. You can use these techniques with readers and reporters.

I am closer to being ready to send out my manuscript and with it a query letter. (Or in some cases, only a query letter) For some time I have been debating as to whether I should try for an agent and have them usher me along the path to publication, or try my luck [...]

Hello everybody! It’s so nice to be here. Since this is my first day, I would use it to tell you all about myself (fascinating information I tell you), but all that’s on the The Ladies page. Besides, nationals are nearly here and something about being remembered could be of better use to everyone.
So anyway, [...]
