Thirteen things I loved about RWA Nationals

So yeah, I’m a bit late on talking about this, but to be honest, I’m just now coming up for air due to the day job and editing management stuff.

Ode to Football Season

Okay, it’s not really an ode…maybe more of an homage.  I love football season.  Not because I particularly care for the sport, mind you…well except for the vision of all those buff guys in Spandex.  Anyway, I digress.  The reason I love football season is that it’s my prime writing time.  Not to say that [...]

TABT…Sex, Straight Up, by Kathleen O’Reilly

 
Meeting a handsome loner on a deserted beach in the Hamptons was like being hit by lightning. One steamy weekend in bed with Daniel O’Sullivan and Catherine Montefiore was marvelously woozy from a delicious cocktail of sun, sand and superhot sex. Abruptly, though, Catherine’s forty-eight hours of fun are at an end when her family’s [...]

Movie/Music Monday…Drowning Pool, Soldiers

Writing Progress…

 
I actually did pretty good this week…I worked on View a bit, and will continue to do so over the next two weeks, just to make sure I’m putting the best possible revision out there.  On my fireman novella, I actually had to scratch at least 1500 words because the direction I was taking just [...]

Olympics watching…

Like everyone else, I’ve been watching the Olympics, but probably not with as much fanaticism as, say, my hubby *g*.  There has been a lot to enjoy, most notably for us the swimming and gymnastics.  Cycling…not so much.  Volleyball…not so much.  And speaking of volleyball, what the hell is up with the women wearing bikinis [...]

Back to the Keyboard…

As I said on Monday, I’m finally all caught up with my post-vacation e-mail and duties, so I’ve finally settled down at the keyboard.  I’ve been futzing around with ideas for a Keira novella I promised to do for Liquid Silver, so that’s been foremost on my plate, since I have a due date of [...]

First You Run, Roxanne St. Claire
