As many of my fore-authors have done before me, I have patterned the physical aspects of the characters of my book, Jaded Hearts after real life people. Continue reading

What kind of sex are 20 somethings really having in 2013?
“Do you think Romeo was ready to commit suicide because of Juliet’s sweet ‘kisses’ alone? I, think not.“
I have been toying with writing this post for a while now, but I have decided, it is time. As a writer and newbie author, I have been trying to balance my creative license with what is considered the industry standard in romance novels. Continue reading
I, am not an Almanac!
If you have kids, you may feel the same way. If you are the oldest of a group siblings, you may be able to relate. I guess it should feel flattering, but really I just can’t take the questions anymore. Continue reading
No Regrets
One of my bouts of reflection, but I still feel the same 😉
“Regret is an odd emotion because it comes only upon reflection. Regret lacks immediacy, and so its power seldom influences events when it could do some good.”
The funny thing about emotions and feelings are that they can’t really be rationalized. The way I feel today may be different than the way I feel next week. A choice I make today may not seem as optimal after a few days of examination. I’ve always been a huge advocate of “learning to live with your decisions” so you don’t have room to regret. Regret is doubting your choice but, for whatever reason, it was the right one to make at that time. Unless your just notorious for making bad choices.
When your characters won’t cooperate!
I am in the home stretch of completing the second installment of The Jaded Hearts Club series. I want to be finished! I should be finished, but Jade is being difficult. Yes, I am blaming the fictional character of my book for delaying my progress.

New Year, New Cheer
So, It’s been a while since I’ve blogged so here I am. As I sit here on a Friday night trying to decide if it’s going to be a read or write thing, I have to smile. A few years ago I would have been restless without a Friday evening line-up. Happy hour with co-workers; girl’s night out; even A DATE. Now I’m content with movie night in with my little man. Well he’s a tween he says. But anyhoo….
Since focusing on my writing career, all the other “outside” stuff doesn’t call to me. Now, I’m not a hermit by any means. I still wanna see my girls and get out every now and then, but you better believe I can’t wait to get back home. I finished my first novel in a few months (once I stopped changing it ) and I’ve already started on part two. I don’t feel like I missing anything, because I finally figured out that I’m not. The feed back I’ve gotten as far as my writing goes has been tremendous and that’s a definite motivator. More than anything I’m able to say…”I’m proud of me too.”
Happy New Year everyone. May this year bless you with abundant happiness and love!
