Yesterday was an “off” day for me, which means that Stephanie had the current Sydney Croft manuscript, which meant that I had nothing to work on. Well, not really, because I definitely have things to work on. But when she is working on the new scene, it gives me a chance to work […]

Well, the post-RWA exhaustion is starting to wear off, and I still have SO much to do. I haven’t unpacked, haven’t put away the 50 pounds of books and goodies I brought home, haven’t done laundry.
But I DID write. Yes, thanks to the 70 days of sweat, I had to write. Mainly […]

I got 8 pages written today! Yay! I made up for my lack of writing yesterday. Now I just have to NOT take a book on the plane tomorrow, and instead take a notebook and write. And drink. Because I really, really hate to fly.

We submitted our original thought, which was to hold the titles together with “the Storm.” The editors loved it. So…

Three people suggested storm tie-ins, so it looks like I owe some books! *g*
Also, we got some […]
