Have you ever been to a masquerade party or ball? I’ve been to a few, though it’s somewhat difficult to wear a mask as I wear glasses (and am quite blind without them – contacts are not an option for me). Still, the idea of two masked people coming...
Writer’s Notes

Riding the Rails
I was looking up train travel in the mid to late 1800’s for the part of The Magpie Madam stories I’m working on, and of course I came across some photos of the passenger cars that used to be available for travelers. They were so posh, so elaborately decorated...

Family Ties
I’ve made a new rule that blog posts have to be written and scheduled on the weekends, so I can protect my writing times during the week. That’s why there was no blog last week. Hopefully I’ll be able to stick to the schedule better in the future, but...

Shifting Interests
Confession: I’ve decided I’m not interested in writing the nature-themed short series. I started it, I thought it would be fun, but it’s boring me, dear reader, and if it’s boring me, it’s going to bore you more. At one point very recently, I was utterly convinced that it...

Waking Up
It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? I’ll admit, I got caught up in “life”, and burned out from some stressful back-to-back issues with dog health and a mid-life…well, not crisis, exactly, but I definitely lost my head and focus there for a bit. I also had to stop reading and...

What Is Erotica?
Forgive me Reader, for I have sinned. It’s been approximately two years since my last (book) release… …and yet, you’re all still buying (and presumably reading) my books, for which I am grateful and humbled. I was having a pretty rough time of it back then. It was sort...

Pierced
A friend and I were talking about piercings the other week, and I revealed that I have seven holes in one ear, three in another, and I used to have my navel pierced. As far as the ears go, I was actually pretty tame comparatively speaking. My holes were...

Talk Dirty To Me
The Naughty List for January went out on Monday with the new serial installment of Hard Drivin’, Book 1 of the Meadowlark After Dark series! Did you miss it? No worries – sign up now, and you’ll get a special link to catch up. Come on. You know you...

A Few Tidbits…
Happy 2015! I don’t know about you, but my year has gotten off to a somewhat rocky start. It’s my own fault for trying to bite off more than I can chew (so to speak), but I’ll find that all-important balance again here soon. I always do. As I...

What’s Up Next: Unconventional Arrangements
If you haven’t read the draft of Creme Brulee and you want to, now’s the time. It’ll be available until Sunday night (3/30), and then it will disappear until the edited, polished version is ready for sale in a few weeks. It’s an…odd little story, I admit, but if...
