Yep, sex, because as some of you know it is one of my favorite topics. I can talk about it all day long… Except when it comes to young adult fiction. You see, in the realm of YA, sex is one of those elephants in the room we don’t like to discuss. We pretend it […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yes, this post is devoted to my love of Twitter. I don’t spend nearly as much time tweeting anymore as I used to (at least not on this account). To be honest, I need to clean up my follow list so I can manage what I’m reading more effectively. So far that hasn’t happened. But, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Since I started on my journey as an author, one of the things I promised myself was that I wouldn’t be an asshat or a whiner. I mean, really, what’s the point?

Sometimes it’s jumps in time, others locale, but I very rarely have the same narrator back-to-back. On the one hand, this keeps things fresh for me, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
In my quest for publication, I’ve started collecting a number of books about writing. Some, like The Chicago Manual of Style, are great references, but not something I’m likely to read cover-to-cover any time in the near future. Then there is Stephen King’s On Writing. The book came highly recommended, and I have to say […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

When I was younger, not finishing a book was a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
