The Muse: Music Must Haves

Hello, friends! I know it’s been a while since I blogged anything substantial – not that my super cheesy quote graphics don’t take me, like, half a day to create – so I thought I’d do a post on what I’m listening to these days.  As I’ve said before, music plays an enormous role in […]

Preach.

Rowling even more.  Thus, I could not resist posting this gem for you lovelies today.  Right now I’m reading Kristan Higgins’ THE BEST MAN, and guys – it’s slaying me.  One of those books that […]

Favorite New Reads

Hello friends! It’s been awhile since I did my last “I loved this book” post, so thought I’d share what I’ve been reading lately.  It’s an admittedly motley mix of genres, authors, and tastes, but pick up any one of these babies and I guarantee you’ll fall in love. WHEN DASHING MET DANGER, by Shana […]

My First Foray Into Graphic Design

So, I kind of love it when authors put together these cool little pictures/boxes/graphics/whatever you want to call them for their books.  This is my first attempt, using Canva.  Decently user-friendly, and they have some pretty cool free options. Tell me, lovers, what do you think of Lord Harclay’s passionate declaration, beautified?

Paris & Engaland

The Benj and I are back from our jaunt across the pond, and like most sane people with jobs we are quite saddened that it went by so quickly.  Of course it’s always nice coming back home to your own bed and favorite brand of toilet paper, and jet lag means I’m ready to conquer […]

What a Tease!, the Freakin’ Weekend Edition, & a Giveaway!

Is it just me, or has this week been one hell of a slog?  Being under deadline for book #3 (right now my editor and I are jokingly calling it SEX AND THE SPY) means that I HAVE to meet my word count every.single.day.  There’s no wiggle room on this one, which makes for some […]

T – 6 days! (And a little teaser, for good measure!)

Six days until this little beauty hits bookshelves near you.  Until then, another teaser to hold you over.  Happy reading! CAUGHT IN THE ACT She closed the drawer and moved on to another, and then another, digging through each one, running her fingers along the wood’s smooth, gleaming edges. His scent was everywhere, the lovely […]

Less than a week to go!

THE GENTLEMAN JEWEL THIEF will be on shelves next Tuesday, July 1 – which means you can buy my debut in less than a week! Confession: I, like, can’t sleep because I’ve been so nervous/anxious about the launch.  I’m pretty terrified about what people are going to think.  For years it’s been so cool to […]

CAT AND MOUSE Lord Harclay’s clothes were indecently plastered against […]

I Dig It – The Travel Edition

As an author, I’m inspired by a lot of things – mostly other authors and the fabulous books they write – but I also find inspiration in worlds outside literature.  Namely, design and fashion.  You’ll notice in my books how I often describe interiors and the way my characters dress in great detail.  I suppose I’ve […]
