Don’t Miss the DEFY Trailer and a Chance for Great Swag!

By |2020-06-11T17:01:20-04:00April 25th, 2012|

Ahh, swag. Just the word has my imagination leaping!

Most authors just starting out don't have hundreds (or more) dollars to [...]

Happy Valentine's Day! As I sit here admiring the flowers that my husband probably paid waaay too much for and eagerly anticipating enjoying a caramel-filled chocolate or two (okay, five), it occurred to me that I needed to put up a Valentine's Day blog. Say what you want about this [...]

Today's my birthday! *tosses confetti* Hey, um, will someone sweep that up later? Any-who...there's something about grown-up birthdays that prompts you to evaluate your life.

Last week was my first attempt at a Six Sentence Sunday post on my blog, and I found it a lot of fun! Since I featured a snippet from Becoming last week, today I figured I would present something from Central, the second book in the Daughters of Saraqael Trilogy. [...]
