Due to this post from Roni Loren (thank you for the warning, Roni) I’ve decided to remove most photos from Thriller Thursday. I hope you’re still able to enjoy them! History is full of famous unsolved crimes: the Ripper murders, The Black Dahlia, The Boy in the Box, The Borden Murders, Jon Benet Ramsey and many more. … Read the rest →
The first edit of Light and Dark is complete. I’ve made all the changes my critique partner suggested. I’m tweaking a secondary character and waiting for my friend (a reading/writing prof) to edit for grammar, but that will hopefully be done in a couple of months. Which means query time is closing in on me. … Read the rest →
I first heard about the people living in the Las Vegas storm drains last summer, when I was researching for Light and Dark. A Google search led me to several newspaper articles profiling Matthew O’Brien’s book, Beneath The Neon: Life and Death in the Tunnels of Las Vegas. O’Brien spent a summer exploring the many … Read the rest →
I ran across Laura Pauling’s blog a couple of months ago and instantly became a fan. Her posts are fun, and Laura is extremely considerate of other writers. After one of my first comments, she emailed me personally to further answer my question. For a busy mom, blogger, and writer, I thought that was pretty … Read the rest →
Dedicated to my brother, Kevin Messenger. 1959-2005. We Miss You. I debated about this post, especially the title. This is a personal story, and I don’t want people to think I’m making light of it or using the story to gain attention. That’s not the case. I really just want to share it with you … Read the rest →
Due to this post from Roni Loren (thank you for the warning, Roni) I’ve decided to remove most photos. Tunnel people, you ask? Sounds like something out of a fantasy novel, doesn’t it? Let me assure you, it’s not. Most of us know about the large homeless populations in New York, Chicago, and D.C, to name … Read the rest →
We’ve all heard it before. Writing manuals, experts, and most importantly, agents and editors, insist if you can’t describe your novel in once sentence, you don’t have a good grip on it. Between the keyboard and your creative mind, something’s muddled. A small part of me believes this is a bit extreme, but I understand … Read the rest →
My husband always rolls his eyes when I talk about my Twitter friends. “You don’t really know this people,” he says. “They’re just words on a screen.” Maybe he’s right. We don’t “know” each other in the true sense of the word. I have no clue if you guys like coffee or tea, prefer Coke … Read the rest →
Grace and I at her Kprep graduation Friday. She’s working on her smile. Like every other writer, I’m trying to establish my online platform. Blogging, tweeting, getting involved with Goodreads – anything I can to be seen and heard. But what do I talk about to bring people to my blog? At first, I blogged … Read the rest →
Being fat is miserable. Trust me, I know. For as long as I can remember I’ve been the chubby kid, the heavy sister, the fat friend. I blame genetics. Kind of. When I was a kid (I’m thirty-four), parents didn’t know as much as we do now about the effects of sugar, fatty foods, etc. … Read the rest →
