Have you noticed it in the air? Perhaps it’s something etched onto the faces of passers-by, or the fuzzy feeling in your stomach that lifts you up and puts a smile on your face. That’s right – it’s that time of year again – the literary period that brings one of the greatest gifts of all to so many people around the world. In case you haven’t guessed by now, it’s time for the annual Bad Sex in Fiction award, which has just released its shortlist of nominated entries, ev...

As we come to the end of 2016, I wanted to address how a phone scammer tried to dupe a friend of mine (whose name I won’t disclose for privacy and safety reasons). Fortunately she’s tech savvy, checking with legitimate resources before handing over any money, and took an extra step by sharing her experience on Facebook.

I also wanted to expose these unscrupulous thieves attempting to cheat innocent people out of hard-gotten money beforesomeone less sophisticated falls for this ruse.

That Wrestling Show

For all purposes this is the first time that I’m sitting down outside of a blog show and outside of the other outlets to tell you something about me.

The wrestling romance girl.

Yes I have actually been called this a time or two.

What I want to do on my section of this great blog is tell my story to you so that you can understand me a little bit. I’m sure that there is hundred of wrestling writers that opens the door for their readers to know the truth behind the keyboard...

I haven’t done a blog post for a while and have a little spare time to update everyone on current projects.

Let’s begin with the current status of my upcoming novel, On Ice: Power Play Book 2. The book is in editing stages as of this blog post and I received word earlier today that Palm Tree Books is aiming for a Fall 2016 release, likely around start of the 2016-2017 NHL hockey season. As was done with Power Play last year, a pre-sale event is set to take place prior to On Ice’s official r...

Friday the 13th is usually associated with bad luck, but who says good things can’t happen on this particular day? I can name at least two!Let’s start with author Harper Sloan holding her second #PerfectlyImperfect Facebook event on Friday, May 13. In light of this past week’s Paul Blake drama, Harper aims to bring back the social media movement that it is okay to not be perfect and to turn what happened this week into something that can motivate others to love themselves.

Before delving into my latest blog post, I want to thank New York Times and USA Today best selling author Harper Sloan for bringing up an important topic yesterday on Facebook. Be warned some subsequent comments are a bit raw, but considering the subject at hand, it’s easy to understand why so many fellow authors are angry.

I normally don’t get involved in “controversial” subjects, so to speak, but this is something close to my heart. Not only did I attempt suicide a few times in my late tee...

M.A. Kropp

This happened to an author of my acquaintance. She got an email from a “fan” and the gist of it was this:

Dear Ms. Author.

I really like your books. I think they are well-written and I enjoyed reading them. (So far, so good, right? Hang on.) However, I have returned them all because you priced them at $0.99 to $2.99, and that is too much to pay for them. I can’t afford to pay that much for a book, even though I liked it. In the future, can you make sure you make all your books fre...

This is perhaps one of the best blog posts I’ve read on the whole Target restroom debacle. Some excellent points made on it will make us think.

Drifting Through My Open Mind

I hear you.

You’reangry.

I get it, I’m angry too.

I’m not talking to the people who are angry at Target because their Pro Transgender bathroom policy flies in the face of their cherry picked moral compass.I’m not under any obligation to respect their beliefs.

I’m talking to you… the people who have no issue with sharing...
