Where’s the Love? Blog Hop

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’m participating in the fabulous Heather Webb’s “Where’s the Love?” blog hop. Squishing a meaningful amorous scene into 250 words is tough… so I did the best I could. Please read, leave comments, and then hop around to the other writers’ sites (scroll down) and do the same for them. With every comment comes a chance to win chocolate!!
 
Note: This is from my current WIP, the second book in the Desperately Ever After series, so didn’t want to give too much away! DEA is currently being shopped to publishers by Michelle Brower of Folio Literary Management.
 
My Blog Hop Contribution:
 

Belle waited for the punch line to his compliment. When none came, she looked up to see Gray staring at her. His entire body seemed tilted and his eyes – wide and stormy now – pulsated in time to her heartbeat.

Blog Hop for Valentine’s Day

Just three days until the fabulous Heather Webb’s “Where’s the Love?” blog hop!

You can indulge, comment, and then hop around to the other writers’ sites (as will I) and nibble on some more. After all, what is Valentine’s Day about if not sampling? Sampling chocolates… sampling lips… sampling fantasies… Continue reading

For My Fellow Dog Lover Writers


There are only 7 days left to submit something for the AKC Family Dog’s 26th Annual Fiction Writing Contest.

I’ve been very into dog fiction lately, ever since I found a copy of Dog is My Co-Pilot: Great Writers on the World’s Oldest Friendship at a Cape Cod flea market. It’s filled with fantastic (funny, sad, inspiring, etc.) stories about humans and their beloved canine friends. Continue reading

Revision Vision

I finished the second book in the Desperately Ever After series over the holidays, and now it’s on to those wonderful weeks of revising.

Luckily, while I sometimes want to throw my computer at the wall, I do in some sick and twisted way love revising. This is when the layers really start to emerge.

For me, the first draft puts me at JFK airport on a two-hour layover. The second, third, and come-what-may drafts get me out onto the streets, strolling Riverside Park at sunset, smelling the chestnuts at the corner of 43rd and Madison, soaking in the lights at Times Square, riding the glass elevators in the Marriott… you get the idea.

A few additions

Check out my two Westchester/Hudson Valley Weddings articles, filed under both “Journalism” and “The Lighter Stuff.” These were both extremely fun to write, and I hope as fun to read.

Also, I added a new category highlighting my favorite clips. Enjoy. More articles and news coming soon.
