Brooklyn is also doing a …
That was the best advice given to me by a friend. He told me this years ago when I was very confused with all of the advice being directed at me from more knowledgeable people. Funny how something so simple can be used for…everything in your life: Take what you need, leave what you don’t …
I’m finally catching up on my reading after a busy January, February and into March. Since I enjoy a good GLBT romance (and write ’em), I purchased Court Appointed: A Serving Love Story by Annmarie McKenna. Nobody recommended this book to me. I’m also new to the author. So why did I buy? Trey is …

Please feel free to ask any questions of your own. Victoria is eager to tell you about her book. 1. First off, …
When I delve into chick flicks, two I can watch over and over are French Kiss (Meg Ryan) and She-Devil (Roseanne Barr). What draws me to them, besides the comedy and awesome performances given by great starring and supporting casts? The character arcs. And not just the MCs either. At the beginning of each movie, …
And maybe your antagonist’s, too. I’ve always seen a certain meme going around called: What is your theme song? Although I don’t have one–unless Don’t Worry, Be Happy counts, heh—I’ve always had one for my hero or other major characters in a novel.
My poor blog. I’ve been neglecting him. The only idea I can think of for posting is another addition of life on the rez. Let’s look at what you’ll usually find and where some people work, such as the administration centre aka band office. Yes, every community has a band office. Some are old and …
Does your protagonist like his/her job? Are they considering a career change? One of the duties of my former position with an aboriginal employment and training organisation was assisting individuals with making career changes. So, yes, finding the right job or sticking my protagonist in a job he/she hates is important to me, because our …
Today, Romance, She Wrote is pleased to host guest blogger Shelly Bell. ***** When I wrote my book, A Year to Remember, it never entered my mind to classify it as a particular genre. It was fiction. It was romance. It was a story about a young woman’s transformation. It was about friendship. It was …
Cover art. Whether a book, album (for us who can remember vinyl), movie poster, or ad, it’s meant to catch our attention. Some covers that produced more than a glance I can think of off-hand? Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying? by Megadeth, featuring the band’s mascot standing in front of the ruins after the third world …
I must say Edit Palooza is keeping me busy. I miss reading my fave blogs on a regular basis, so busy or not, I have to make time for blog reading. Anyway, today I purchased $ix Days to Midnight by Kat Duncan at Kobo.com, because I really enjoyed Ransom’s Bond. I’m so glad I decided …

I thought I’d do something simple for my last post of the year. The title says it all. I put the quotes under the cut since there is some strong language.
Yes, I switched back to old faithful–my choco theme. I tried out a few but none of them are good ol’ choco. It must be the book style or something, why I dig this theme. Anyhoo, not to stray off topic, I’m trying to pinpoint why I loved certain books, even when I couldn’t stand …
When the holidays roll around, it’s movie time for me. While others watch Christmas classics, I prefer popping something from the past into the DVD player—usually one of my faves I can watch over and over. This year is no different. The other night I plunked down in the recliner and watched The Adventures of …
I popped Ransom’s Bond by Kat Duncan into my Sony a couple of days ago. Y’know, I never read a romatic suspense before, but I do love action movies with a slice of romance, so this is right up my alley. What can I say so far now that I’m on page forty-three? Kat doesn’t …
I read a great article by Danielle Monsch about branding. What an eye-opener. I looked through my own blog and tags afterwards. What did I discover? Music and YouTube links were quite prominent, same with yapping about rock stars and rock biographies. Then I glanced through my GoodReads “read” books. A lot of reading was …
What do you do when the flu tortures you all week and you’re loaded up on every cold and flu remedy under the sun? Blog about nonsense. Now that I’m almost human again, and the hubby has a nice fire burning in the woodstove, I thought I’d yap about the 80s—when I came of age. …
Today, Romance, She Wrote is pleased to host guest blogger Laurel Gans. ***** I love winter time on a college campus! The trees are all lit up and every coffee shop in a ten mile radius has Glee’s Christmas album on repeat. I even enjoyed pulling out last year’s fluffy coat and boots to brave …
Since we’re now into December, author Brenda Whiteside is guest blogging today about all things Christmas. Read on to here what she has to say… ***** I love another man besides my husband. And I’m not giving him up because I’ve loved him all my life. Santa Clause. Yes, I do believe. Everything about the …
