A lot has been written lately on publishing blogs by romance authors, agents and other industry professionals about e-books and their place in world of romance novels. I was especially impressed by Deidre Knight’s blog post on the issue. Deidre’s blog entry specifically addresses RWA’s stance on e-books. I am still in the process of [...]

As I pack for a weekend visit to the town where I grew up, I find that there is a little voice in the back of my mind repeatedly asking: what will I say when everyone asks how the book is coming along? Or if I’ve found an agent? Or a publisher?

Last week my dear husband took a vacation from work to help with various projects at our home in Rhinebeck. With the help of my brother-in-law visiting from the west coast, the carport received a new roof, the outdoor furniture was cleaned and oiled, and we tackled a variety of landscaping projects.

After an sun-filled weekend in the garden, I am back at my computer this morning. However, I doubt that I will get much accomplished as I am far too eager to respond to comments on my recent interview with Keli Gwyn featured on her fabulous blog, Romance Writers on the Journey.

In the Spring and Fall each year, my husband and I escape the hubbub of NYC for Rhinebeck, a small town two hours north of the city. In Rhinebeck, we have a beautiful home nestled in the forest that is ours for the next few weeks. Thereafter, we turn the house over to various tenants [...]

Sometime in the coming months, I’ll be featured on Jauntsetter.com and on Romance Writers on the Journey. I will be sure to post the specific dates these appearances will take [...]

Rakes, rogues and scoundrels—yes, that pretty much sums up the to-be-read pile threatening to take over my nightstand at the moment. The trouble of course is finding the time (a problem I’m sure many find quite familiar). After hours of typing away, writing the next scene in my current work-in-progress, cooking, and laundry (the dirty [...]

I generally leave the monthly New York City RWA chapter meetings determined to sit down at my computer and write, write, write! At the meeting this past Saturday one of our very talented members led an exciting presentation on the five senses. During the discussion, my mind drifted back to my current work in progress, [...]
