Hello!
It’s been a while but I’ve been busy. Work, writing, family, it’s tough trying to get it all done.
Lately I’ve been working on research for Lissa & James’ story and it’s fascinating. I love the time period and James is such a great guy, can’t wait to see how it all works out.
Lissa is proving to be a strong and courageous woman, she’s a perfect match for James. Together they’re creating a wonderful story that I’m loving.
Hope to have more soon, the writing has been slow because of the plotting.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend and remember to spend some time with your family

C’est tout!

I just attended Heather Graham’s workshop that was held in the French Quarter this weekend. It was also Decadence Festival so that made for an interesting weekend. Along with having to worry about Tropical Storm Lee, it’s been a busy weekend.
Heather always puts on a great conference and I learn so much, now to utilize what I’ve learned and finish this book. It’s looking promising.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

C’est tout!

Yes it’s summer and the constant high temps won’t let us forget it. I’m not complaining though, I love summer. I love the long days, being able to wear sandles everyday, not having to carry a coat or jacket… it’s just the best time of the year.
Unfortunately, it’s just as busy as the rest of the year. I was hoping to be able to get more writing time but now we have to clean out the house. I usually go through all the closets, dressers, and cabinets and toss out what we don’t need and now’s the time to do it.
I’m still working on Lissa and James’ story and I really love the ways it’s all coming together. They’re a great couple who went through some tough times and now have to deal with their enemies while learning to trust each other again. Not easy when everyone keeps lying to them.
Anyway, they’re lots of fun and I can’t wait to get enough written for my critique partner to read. I love getting feedback on my work, even the bad stuff LOL
Now on to the serious stuff. For those that might not have heard, author L.A. Banks is seriously ill with adrenal cancer. Many of us in the romance community are banding together to help her and her family during this difficult time. Barbara Vey has posted a letter on her blog, from Michaela Basham, about upcoming charity auctions to help raise money for the family’s rising medical expenses. Please read the blog post and consider helping if you can. Leslie is a wonderful writer who has given us many wonderful books, let’s give back to her. I will be donating to the auction so keep an eye out if you’re interested.
C’est tout!

Well, it’s technically spring but here in New Orleans, the temps have already hit the high 80s and I’m loving it. Hubby & I rode the bikes to a festival last weekend, and it was wonderful. Great ride, great food, great music, a perfect weekend.

I’ve started on a new manuscript. This one is what I call a typical historical. I love historical romance. They were the first books I read for enjoyment. Mom used to give me her’s to read, at least the ones without all the sex because I was 12, and I loved them. Then I found “the good ones”… yep, the ones with the sex scenes that she didn’t want me to read. When she realized I found them she decided to let me read whatever I wanted (I was 13 after all LOL).

So now I’m writing an historical. It’s not giving me as many problems as the paranormal I was working on so that’s great. I really love this couple and their story. They go through some tough times and have a lot to overcome before they can admit their love but they survive and, of course, have that eternally sought after HEA.

Until next time, enjoy the warmer weather and spend some time with those you love.

C’est tout!
