New Look Coming Soon!

Over the past year, both my writing and my life have seen a number of changes. Becoming a mom changed my life in more ways than I can count (most of them wonderful, apart from the lack of sleep). It took me a few months, but I finally found time to write and care for [...]

A Reading Vacation: How To Marry A Duke

After a largely sleepless week with my sick 11-month-old son, I needed a break–a few hours respite from the cute, I-refuse-to-nap-unless-you-hold me baby who I love more than anything in the world.  I needed sleep too, but some time to myself was seeming more and more important after a night when my son decided to [...]

The Royal Ascot: It’s Not Just a Horse Race

As an aspiring writer, I admit I have caught contest fever from time to time. This fall, I entered a few, won one, and received two requests for full manuscripts. But even when I did not win, I felt it was money and time well spent because each contest judge returned my pages with their [...]

And the winner is . . .

Naptime is Writing Time

The past few weeks have slipped by in whirlwind of feedings, diaper changes, baths and best of all, smiles. My tiny baby who arrived one month early has grown from 5 pounds 12 ounces to 15 pounds!  My son is a wonderful baby. He is a joy to play with and care for each day.  [...]

10 Ways to Stay Awake with Your Newborn at 4am (Inspired by Julia Quinn’s latest release)

I have been blessed with a quiet, peaceful baby. That said, he still needs to eat a couple of times in the middle of the night, and he is not always eager to go back to sleep after his meal. At times he even fusses a bit. However, I am always ready to crawl back [...]

Jameson Warren Tormey: Born May 4th 2010

I am thrilled to report that after a week of bed rest, my son decided it was time to make his entrance into the world. Jameson Warren was born at 9:55am on Tuesday May 4th. He weighed 5 pounds 12 ounces at birth and measured 21.27 inches long.  Having chosen to arrive a few weeks [...]

When Real Life Resembles Fiction

Where have I been for the past month? I wish I could say writing and revising my way through the final months of my pregnancy, but alas fate had other ideas. At the end of March, my husband and I closed on our new apartment and Brooklyn. It is an amazing space with a room [...]

Snow Days & Field Trips

Though I may feel like an ostrich that has her head buried in the sand, here in NYC, it is snow. What have I been doing during the snowfalls? Writing, revising, and of course, getting ready for the new addition to our family (due May 31st). While I have been busy at my computer, my [...]

New Year, New Blog Series! A Peak at the Sales & Marketing Side of the Business

First, I wish to thank everyone who stopped by last month and offered your congratulations.  My husband and I are looking forward to meeting our first child on May 31st (though I’ve been told he or she might arrive sometime before or after that date).  In the coming weeks, we should know if we are [...]
