Resolutions

I love New Years resolutions, partly because I'm nuts and enjoy torturing myself. Here they are:

Stop eating treats! All treats! No ice cream, cookies, cakes, pancakes, any kind of cake, jelly beans, jelly babies, any kind of jelly anything. No stuff which the major ingredient is sugar! I have abused this evil crap for far too long and find I need to learn how to live without it.

I must go to the gym just a little more than I have lately. Physical fitness is a little different at this age.

I must stop the self deprecating voice in my head. I am NOT lazy you effing bastard living in my head!

Make new friends.

Write the Pump books and my YA. I will.....AM doing this! I am!

Push my writing further! Reach just that much more. Don't play it safe!

Be your own cheerleader and stop being everyone else's. Bottom line is, those people don't deserve my good-natured cheering. Fuck'em.

Basically, I will stop stress eating and believe in myself. Easy, right?
Not for me but I am going to succeed this year even more than last year.

I wish everyone good luck with their New Years resolutions! Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year!

    My goal for this year is to remember that the majority of people are good and kind. I will continue to believe this, but I'll save my cheerleading skills to those that deserve it :)

    And what the hell is a jelly baby? It just sounds wrong....but now I want jelly beans.

Questions: How long have you been writing professionally? I’ve been writing professionally for the past year and some odd months now.   It’s been a wild ride and I have been thoroughly enjoying myself. J   What inspires your writing? Inspiration strikes at the oddest moments. It can come from pretty much any source, whether it’s a phone conversation, a planned adventure, or something mundane turned adventure like a runaway lawn mower. People especially tend to be inspirations. The best characters I’ve developed have come from the interesting personalities of people around me.   Who is your favorite author? Or do you have a favorite book? [or both if you’d prefer] I have so many favorite authors that if I listed them all, you’d be reading pages.   I can however, tell you that the favorite book on my shelf right now is Lover at Last by JR Ward. It’s been a book I’ve been waiting for for a long time and it didn’t disappoint.   What are your futu

LIFE

I've been MIA lately. Have I been busy? Oh have I! Last Saturday I received the wonderful news that my novel, Rainbow Hill and my novella, The Boys of Banana Court will be published by Wilde City Press, a new to me publisher. When I received this email I almost fell out of my rolly office chair. To say that I was happy is an understatement. Rainbow Hill took me around 6 months to write and I prayed that someone would agree to publish the sucker. My prayers came true. As for BBC that took me two weeks but I had thought about it for two years but never got around to writing it. I plan to have three more in that series....maybe four. Let's see. I refuse to commit. What's next? A paranormal trilogy! I love vampires and I do believe that I do write them well. My vamps are sexy and quirky and HAIRDRESSERS. How fun is that!?!? Well let me tell ya, it's FUN! Let's keep our fingers crossed that I can sell this series too. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. What&

Sage Marlowe

Today I have the fabulous Sage Marlowe on my blog. I LOVE Sage, a great writer with great covers to match. Please welcome Sage to my blog with an insightful Q & A. How long have you been writing in the Manlove genre? I started writing in March 2010, which seems a lifetime ago now. My first novel, Sub-Mission was published in May 2012 by Total-E-Bound, so I have yet to celebrate my first anniversary as a published author.   Where do you write from? I write all my stories from the heart. Oh, I’m sorry, did you mean geographically? I currently live in Germany, in a very rural corner of the west. What is your writing routine? My only routine is constant chaos. I have a nineteen months old, very curious and vivid daughter, and any writing has to be arranged around her needs. This means I type most of my first drafts on my trusty phone while she plays or takes a nap. Once the first draft is done, I use the evenings to polish the manuscripts on the laptop.
