When I wrote my YA novel, it was first-person POV. I really enjoyed writing it and I think it can be a very effective tool in creating an authentic character voice. It just felt right for that story. But for some reason, I tend to prefer third person with adult romance novels, both as a [...]

We’re smack dab in the middle of a heat wave here in the Great White North, with temperatures in Toronto well over 100 degrees with the humidity. Since it’s hot out there, I thought we could steam things up in here, too. I’m just putting the finishing touches on a new historical romance novel and [...]

I recently dipped my toe into the historical waters with a shorter novella that I really enjoyed writing very much. I loved doing the research, probably because I’m a geek. *g* Voyageurs is part of Torquere’s fun Spice It Up e-book series. Jack Cavendish needs to get to his station at Fort Charlotte, a fur-trading [...]

When I was a young teenager, I borrowed a historical romance by Virginia Henley from my older sister. I think it was The Hawk and the Dove, but I know for sure that it taught me the actual meaning of oral sex! (I thought it was kissing up until that point. So young, so innocent.) [...]

I’m deep in the winter blahs right now, with February only just begun. Winter seems to be worse with each passing year, despite (or because of?) global warming. Oh, how I long for spring! I’m sure I’m not the only one. However, my day was considerably brightened today when I read a new review of [...]

I’m up to my elbows in editing my new novel, but I just wanted to share the publication date for Daybreak, the sequel to Eight Nights. It will be out on Tuesday, December 16, just in time for the holidays. In other news, I’m over the moon about the results of the American election. “President-Elect [...]

Last night at around 11:30 p.m., I finished the first draft of my full-length sequel to Eight Nights. Woo! Writing a novel while also working full time as a writer is challenging, to say the least. Oh, my aching hands. I wrote Love Match while I was off work, and it was such a luxury [...]
