I love the story about the elderly Athabascan woman who was asked how to make moosehide moccasins. Her reply? “Well, first you kill a moose.” In other words, have a seat. This is going to take a while. When I’m asked, “How do you write a novel?” My answer is, “Well, first you break a heart.” And not just any…
Wow! I’m excited! This coming Thursday (Sept. 16) Rachelle Gardner – super agent with WordServe Literary – will feature one of my “ramblings” as the guest post on her Blog, http://cba-ramblings.blogspot.com/ . The noise you hear is me cheering for joy at such an opportunity. This past Sunday afternoon, Rachelle emailed a request for a photo or…
Now that I’ve been blogging for a few months and am more comfortable with the concept and the process, I hope to establish a Friday feature that will highlight words. It’s always fun to find new words, odd words, overused words, misused words… This Friday’s wild word – words actually – are LADY and LORD. …
I think for most of us September means one thing. School. I remember the excitement of shopping for school clothes and new notebooks, pencils and rulers. I also remember the butterflies of that first day, back with old friends and a new teacher. My favorite part of the new school year was receiving our reading books. I usually…

I-get-to-write-again” day. But yesterday morning (a Monday), I read a blog and discovered that the agent who has my…
I hope your summer has been filled with sunshine and maybe a few great beach reads (and time to read them!). To qualify for this month’s drawing, please let us know what book you read during your vacation time (or would’ve read if you had vacation time!). Summers are always a hectic but fun time…
I have just resubmitted a manuscript (working title – BILLIONS ) after three months of rewriting. It was an extensive rewrite that included an addition of 12,000 words and more emphasis on the romance aspect of the story. (The novel is also a mystery.) It’s my first novel written specifically for the inspirational market, and…
Congratulations to Dobie whose name was the first drawn for our July Free Books, and to Deb Van Effen whose name was drawn second. Dobie you have the choice of our July books: WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS by Christa Allan or GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrow. …
Our give-away books for July 2010 are two novels that I absolutely fell in love with. (Yeah, I know it’s supposed to be “with which I absolutely fell in love”, but when it comes to love, grammar sometimes goes by the wayside!) They are…. WALKING ON BROKEN GLASS by Christa Allan and THE GUERNSEY…
