This is my muse, and yes, he is as much trouble as he appears to be. I know muses are meant to inspire, and in his own--at times infuriating--way, he does. I don't try to understand him, and it's best I not engage him head on, because he'll usually get his way. When he doesn't, he makes that mopey face in the hopes I'll cave in. I usually do. Whenever I think I've got enough on my plate, he

I'm so very excited to announce that my very first novella: The Amethyst Cat Caper is out today from Torquere Press! Despite When Love Walked In being my first published title, The Amethyst Cat Caper was actually written and picked up by Torquere Press months earlier. Thinking on it now, I'm quite glad that I started my publishing career with a sweet, short story like When Love Walked In. Bruce

Like a mad scientist, I've been gathering bits here and there to piece together our handsome and dangerous hero. I've only just started my research, so a lot of his background is still in the works. As this is a community event, I thought it would be fun to post how the story starts to come together, and also allow folks to give input if they so wish. Of course we will eventually get to a point

The MM Romance group over at Goodreads is kicking off another one of their fantastic writing events, which means a summer filled with free love stories written by lots of nifty folks! This event is: Love Is Always Write, and I'm so excited to be taking part in it for the very first time!

My very first official cover... is in and it's so pretty and purpley! As it should be, considering the title and the story. I have to say that the folks over at Torquere did a lovely job and I'm so pleased with it! Finding the right stock photos, especially for a story set in the 1930s is not easy. Believe me, I've searched through hundreds! It gets even harder when you're trying to find a fella

Hello all! Today I'm a guest over at Juniper Gray's blog where she'll be interviewing me over a cup of tea or two, and asking me all about life in the dirty 30s and the handsome heroes from my upcoming release: The Amethyst Cat Caper. Why not drop on by. We'll put the kettle on for you. The Amethyst Cat Caper blurb: Two years ago, Remington Trueblood left England and everything he held dear,

Hello guys and dolls! Today I'm being interviewed over at Dawn's Reading Nook where I'm being asked all sorts of nifty questions about everything from bad boys and perfect gentlemen, to inspiration and my favorite authors. Here's a tiny taste:    Where do you dream of traveling to and why? I love places that are rich with history, where you can still find evidence of times long gone. I

When Love Walked In has received 4 stars from Speak Its Name and I couldn't be more pleased! ...it’s highly enjoyable, well-grounded in its period, written in a cinematic way that will make you relive the gritty days of the 1930′s depression and a solid little story.

How doth the little busy bee... And busy it's been! Ever since my debut story: When Love Walked In was released less than a week ago, all sorts of fun and exciting things have happened! I've had some of my very first reader reviews over at Goodreads and I'm so pleased to see folks enjoying it. February 8th: Erastes' review for When Love Walked In will be up on Speak Its Name this wed!

When Love Walked In  A Valentine's Day Sip Bruce Shannon is a Private Investigator dealing with case after case of missing persons and infidelity. None of which inspire warm, fuzzy feelings during the week of Valentine’s Day. Then again, Bruce isn’t exactly a fuzzy feelings kind of guy, which suits him just fine. He doesn’t need anyone anyhow, only his cat, Mittens. That is, until the handsome

What a whirlwind of a month it's turning out to be! I have two stories coming out in February and have been a busy little bee getting ready for their releases. The Amethyst Cat Caper - my first ever story to be accepted by a publisher- is being released after my second story: When Love Walked In! The reason for this *ahem* is that when I did the edits for The Amethyst Cat Caper, the manuscript

Well, it's the start of a brand New Year, and what a start it was! Imagine my surprise when I checked my email account on the 1st to find Dreamspinner Press expressing their interest in The Auspicious Troubles of Chance. I was absolutely thrilled! And so, my second novella is now in production! The Auspicious Troubles of Chance is a Historical Romance that spans the life of Chauncey "Chance"
