Looking For A Steamy Holiday Read? Auld Lang Sin Is Now Available!

x-default

 

Lauren prides herself on being a professional woman with one hard and fast rule: don’t ever date anyone you work with. That all goes to hell the minute Ross strolls in the door, with a wicked accent, a rocking body and a face chiseled by angels. Add to that his single-minded determination to get to know Lauren on a more-than-professional basis, and all her carefully crafted rules begin to blur.

From the company holiday party to a New Year’s Eve masquerade ball, Ross teases and torments until Lauren decides to sent the old year out with a bang. A really, really good bang.

Auld Lang Sin is available at Amazon for Kindle or Smashwords for all e-reading devices (or online) and for a mere $.99!

Grab yourself a cup of holiday steam and enjoy!

Resource Thursday: Let’s Talk Grammar

 

I pride myself on my nearly impeccable grammar.

Did you know I was once the Southwest Regional Grammar Rodeo Champion? (Please, no autographs) That’s not to say I don’t make the occasional typo or write something that’s probably right but just looks wrong.

Sometimes, after a night of keyboard tapping, the eyes get bleary and the brain gets fuzzy and the dumb sets in. Here’s a great set of references for when this happens to you:

The proper use of it’s and its

This one’s a catch-all that covers a lot of stuff

Proper use of quotation marks

The Penal Code of Punctuation

The Use of Tense in Writing

Hope you get some use out of those!

Fanfiction Friday: Killian And Emma Share A Dance

 

My Once Upon A Time Fanfic, The Memory Keeper was written during the Mid-Season 3 hiatus, and begins after Killian surprises Emma at her apartment and she slams the door in his face, having no memory of who he is.

I take the story from there, and weave in my own take on the wicked witch. But first…Killian has to win Emma over, and he does it with every weapon in his arsenal. Here they are at a charity ball run by Emma’s foundation, the aptly named “Happily Ever Afters” – an organization that promotes adoption of older children in the foster system.

Writing Rituals And Why We Need Them

When I first started trying to write seriously, I’d sit down on my couch with my laptop, switch on the TV and carelessly peck at the keys for an hour or so. Sometimes I’d get into a groove and hammer out 2,000 words at a pop, and sometimes I was lucky if I clocked 200 in a night.

Then I realized this was not a stellar plan for actually finishing a book, and I started looking for ways to get in that groove and stay there. Or close to there.

And now I have rituals. I don’t do this every time I write, but I do most of this stuff regularly and I do it religiously when I’ve got a deadline coming up.

Here’s what works for me: Continue reading →
