Character Craft and Writing in Reverse
Posted on January 20, 2016 Leave a Comment
I don’t plot characters. There – I admit it. I totally roll on gut instinct when I write for my cast. That said, I could never actually write them at all if I didn’t know two things: Who they were born as (personality, emotion, natural abilities, etc). How they evolved as a result of their […]

Book Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Maas
Posted on May 19, 2015 Leave a Comment
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah Maas So, I’m gonna preface this by saying that I would not put this book ANYWHERE near a teen shelf. This is solidly New Adult, which is 17 / 18+ – basically a heavy duty (HEAVY DUTY) PG-13, more likely soft R rating. But here’s the […]
Music as Author Muse

I’ve begun sharing my playlist with my husband. It was probably a mistake, because now he thinks I have a split personality based on my music choices. For kicks and giggles, I scrolled through my playlist for the past Undertow books and, well, yes – it appears I’m musically bi-polar. My musical preferences range wildly, but […]

Someone once said that, to say goodbye to a character that has been part of you for years, is like bidding farewell to a piece of you. As I write the last book in Eila’s story, I know it’s true. I have no doubt that when I’m done with the final book in the UNDERTOW […]

Cruel Summer’s Cape Cod Guide for Teens
Posted on February 19, 2015 Leave a Comment
It is no secret that all of my books in the UNDERTOW series are basically a teenager’s guide to Cape Cod. What to do, where to go, how to nag your parents. Well – okay, maybe not that last one, but if you do, don’t point fingers at me. In UNDERTOW, readers were introduced to […]
