The Groove is in the He...

Last week I talked about action adventure films and somewhere in there I mentioned that The Last of the Mohicans had a great soundtrack, especially for writers. See, I have many writer friends who only write with iPods in their ears. They play any music and just write away. I can’t...

Action adventure movie ...

So I was surfing the web and ran across a mention of the movie Brotherhood of the Wolf. Well, it was more like: This was the best movie ever! LOL! But this movie (originally a French release) does sound like something I would like with action adventure and romance.  Of course, I...

eBooks vs Print –...

Last night one of the subjects of a chat I attended revolved around eBooks vs print books.  Everyone had different views: that eBooks were going to totally take over, or that there will always be print and that it’ll be just as popular as eBooks.  Then someone made the comment...

Creating Magic with Wor...

They say the best way for a writer to learn is to read. A lot. Read widely in all genres and soak up how others have spun words into gold.  The upside (and I guess some might say a downside ) of being an author is that you can never really master this writing gig. There’s...

What’s in a Name?...

The other day I mentioned that I needed three things to write a book and one of those things was the main characters’ names. Their names are important because for me, they become that character and I can’t imagine any other name for that person the further I get into the...

15 Degrees from Normal...

I love a good dark paranormal story, be it paranormal romance or urban fantasy, adult or young adult.  I like things to go wrong, to be twisted and unexpected. I like characters that are hard and hard to love, but ya know…I also love when an author adds some comic relief to...

One title to say it all...

Before I start a new book, I have to know three things : 1) The title 2) The main characters’ names and 3) An idea how the opening will begin.  If I don’t have those three things, I can’t start writing. It’s just the way my brain in wired. When I chose a title...

Glomming a series...

I just finished reading a series I really enjoyed. Ironically, the first three books of this series sat on my TBR pile for months, even though I’d heard it was a good series and I would love it. But when I started reading the first book, I HAD to know what happened in the second...
