I have to say I apologise for the title of my post, but you must forgive me! Actually, I understand love shouldn't hurt on Valentines Day. In fact it should be a beautiful celebration of our love for each other, whether we are in long-term comfortable relationships, or shorter developing ones. I am simply offering a view of Valentines Day from the perspective of my paranormal romance novel Love Hurts.

Personally I am not celebrating Valentines Day this year. My husband and me…

As the first anniversary of the publication of Night Shadows approaches (February 16), I want to present two blogs regarding fear.

I once read an article stating how fear is an acronym for False Evidence Against Reality. The article went on to discuss how most fears aren’t as devastating when the reality of the situation is revealed.

For instance, I fear change. Change in my residence or employment usually produces a queasy feeling in my stomach.…

Are there any Scrivener users aboard authors.com?  With the Windows release of the product, I was pleased to finally get a chance to try it out while revising short stories for my L.A. Limo Tales collection. Must say that I've barely scratched the surface of its capabilities but I'm very pleased with its ability to produce clean e-book files in all the major formats.  It looks to be an excellent writer's tool and it's…

If you have one book in print congratulations. Please make sure you capture the addresses and/or e-mails of your purchasers. They will want to purchase you second book too. And it is easier to sell to someone you know has read your first book than just any random person.

When I publish a new book (I have seven in print), I have a postcard made with the book cover on it. I print 1000 at a cost of about $100. It costs 32 cents to send…

To celebrate the release of my latest historical, Dark Deceit, I posted up a new excerpt on my blog. Have a peek! ;-)

It is amazing to me that most authors aren’t even aware that Amazon provides a FREE author page to each and every author who has an ISBN and listed on their site.  It’s true!  It’s a great marketing tool to help authors, better market their books. 

Setting up your Amazon Author Central page.

Not a week goes by when I don’t get asked by a fiction author, “how do I write a blog?” This always surprises me, because as I see it, writers of fiction can really have fun with their blogs. They don’t have to stick with facts and they get to be creative. So for all of your fiction authors out there, here are some blogging tips you can use as a guide to make the most of your blog, #3 is my favorite. Enjoy!

Write about your genre. I know…

We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.” –Kurt Vonnegut

When it comes to an author’s writing, style can only mean one of two things—one can be learned; the other, which is far more…

I have a love:hate relationship and it is with technology. Don't get me wrong I agree with technology, especially for medical advances to cure people of disease or serious illness. And of course technology is great for writers to get their influence, message or stoires out there into the big wild universe.

But on the flip side I hate the fact that we rely on technology so much, example you're out shopping in the supermarket and you need to ask your partner what else you need in the…

The COLOURED SANDS sign post marked the beach where amazing multicoloured sand dunes towered over a pristine beach.  I knew with my next breath that I had the title for my first book of the Outback series, COLOURED SANDS.  

I had to find a way to work the title into the story line. This is how I did it:

1901: The selector's wife Mary is caring for Emily 8, who trundled down a creek bed for two days to find help after the shock massacre of her family. Emily is participating in…
