Friday Ramblings From An Author-More of the Same
More things crossed off my to do list. This week was almost like a carbon copy of the previous one. A new workshop started yesterday. Another one is supposed to begin on Monday but we need more people to make that happen. It’s the crafting the short story offered by the Colorado Romance Writers so if…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Back to Work
I like to think of the end of summer as the start of a new year. There’s less pressure on you to keep your goals and resolutions. I didn’t get quite get as much done as I’d planned over the last three months. One thing I didn’t achieve was reading twenty books. Maybe it was a…
My First Journey in Self-Publishing Fiction
Most of you know for the last year or so I’ve been self-publishing my non-fiction books, but recently ventured into fiction too. I got my feet wet by re-releasing a title when the rights were returned to me. In the next few months more of my book contracts expire which means I’ll be doing more…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Last One In July
Don’t know about you, but I can’t believe tomorrow is August 1st. At least I did get some things crossed off my to do list but not as many as I’d planned. I only wish winter would go by as quickly as summer always seems to. My 7th book in my Big Sky County series…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Almost A Repeat

We need a few more people so if you know of anyone who’s struggling with point of view issues, head-hopping or just wants a refresher course on the topic, I’m teaching it through the Colorado Romance Writers of America and here’s a link to sign…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Balmy Weather
It’s almost balmy weather where I live and I’ve been tempted to go outside but amazingly haven’t strayed from my laptop. The two workshops I’m teaching this month are now half way over. I think they are actually my two favorite topics to teach and now I’m thinking about writing a short e-book about both…
