Not because I haven’t been writing, but because I’ve been in school full time and not sure how to balance the romance writing with the chaos of education. A degree is a good thing. A degree with a 4.0 GPA is even better. Just saying. Law school won’t let me in if I’m a loser.
The thing that most people get wrong when they’re trying to understand what ghosts are is that they forget what makes us alive. If a ghost represents the absence of a physical body and the soul is all that’s left of us when we die, then a ghost is simply the remnants of the soul […]
I must admit, every one of my works-in-progress has a theme that can be answered by the following question: What is the most optimistic conclusion to <insert name of political issue>? It’s been a stretch, let me tell you. But I think I’ve come up with some really compelling ideas. And of course, they all […]
My latest two books were a personal exploration for me. Loosely based on my real-life adventures, I decided to write happy endings to stories that weren’t over yet or ended poorly.

OK, I’m pretty good at stringing a story together. Good enough that I don’t think that hiring ghost writers is my next step to success.

Here are the top five things I love about being a romance writer (in no particular order) 1- My colleagues are all insanely helpful and genuinely NICE PEOPLE. I’ve never seen a […]
