I had a difficult time letting this manuscript go. Kept feeling like it needed more...add more...edit more. Had to make sure EVERY timeline issue was perfect with the continuity and flow of the story so no dates were botched or in conflict. The perils of writing a series of books I suppose. I'm ecstatic about this particular story because it has a lot of twists, turns, new characters, and of course lots of sex. My readers will find that Adrian has matured so much from the

Finally I have seen all my muses live. The 80's icons who inspired the characters in my novel series and lead me on this wonderful journey of writing! On December 2, I was able to travel to Atlanta to see Brian Setzer, who inspired the character of Douglas "Dagger" Meyers. It was an amazing show. Brian is an awesome performer!

I honestly thought I was done when I finished Book 3, Adrian and Melody. The couple has come full circle. It seemed like the happiest of endings had finally arrived.

It bothered me, probably because I would have been considered that "good girl" and I didn't want to have to be "bad" to get a guy. So, when I was 18 and began to write the very first draft of "A Melody for Adrian", I knew I did not want a female lead who had to change to be with the ma

When I write, I picture the characters and their actions in my head, like a movie. So for me, inspiration on what those characters look like or act like often comes from my real world experiences. Annette was inspired by my best friend in high school. Mary Jo stood by me through thick and thin and we had some amazing experiences together! I know I would not have had so much fun without her along for the ride. I'm too shy to have done many of those things by myself. As th
