It’s been just about a week since we’ve been back from the 2010 RWA National Conference and it’s taken me that long to get back into my normal routine. From workshops to inspirational speeches at the luncheons, there is so much to absorb – but I loved every minute of it. On the way home [...]

Happy Monday!  The start of a new week, and I am pretty jazzed.  Finally, I have had some time to read again!  I am working my way through a series of books I bought at a book signing awhile back, and I must say, most of the books have been good reads.  But some time [...]

Last night’s discussion on body language was fascinating because the members of Dunes and Dreams learned that most body language signals are involuntary.  Yep — primal instinct drives most of the signals you put out there.  The segments on “the mating dance” — flirting, being accessible, letting the opposite sex know you are attracted — [...]

Today is Father’s Day.   I realized in romance writing, the sexy, alpha hero is not usually a father.  Oh, he may become one by the end of the book, but he doesn’t start out that way.   Yet fathers figure prominently in many romance novels as minor but pivotal characters. In historicals, for  instance,  fathers are passing their titles and [...]

Hey, guess what? It’s snowing!!! again. Besides school kids and snowplow drivers, is there anyone out there excited to see another weather map coated in white swirls?  Not me. Two days ago, I could finally see my lawn peeking through the frozen stuff left by the last storm Mother Nature dumped on us. For me, [...]

Last week our members were treated to tax presentation that was full of surprises! First, you might think giving a tax specialist the floor at a meeting of romance writers might either be odd or perhaps a little boring – let me assure you, this meeting was anything but.

This month’s RWR (the Romance Writing Report, monthly newsletter of RWA) includes a terrific article on the need for authors to conduct themselves professionally both online and in the real world. The timing of this article couldn’t have been more auspicious for me. I’m often amazed when writers allow emotions to overrule common sense. We’ve [...]

Now, imagine getting your very own guided tour of an early 19th century Victorian home filled top to bottom with both authentic and reproduction period clothing.
