Most authors just starting out don't have hundreds (or more) dollars to dole out on promotional items, [...]

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.

Any-who...there's something about grown-up birthdays that prompts you to evaluate your life.

Isn't that how the saying goes? Well, in my case, that's what I decided at the end of 2011.

On top of building a new house, moving into that house, and my daughter starting Kindergarten, I also published the Daughters of Saraqael trilogy. For anyone who thinks that publishing a book is the last stage in the world of writing, though, that's far from true! Since [...]
