I was taking a bit of a break from writing to give my brain a breather and then got taken out by shoulder injury/surgery. But I have re-started The Scandalous Lord Grenville and hope to have it released by this coming Christmas (2019). So glad you're enjoying the series. I'm already thinking of what comes next following the end of the Sins & Scandals Series so stay tuned! :)(less)

You need to write from a place inside of you where you feel this undeniable pull to tell stories. Don't worry about getting published, worry about telling the best story you can. Focus on that. Then, once that part of the equation is completed, move on to the publishing part. The great thing about the industry now is that the writer now has the ability to be their own publisher, to take control of their own work and not wait for someone else to 'discover' them. By all means, if traditional publishing is something you truly want to do, take all the steps to get there. Have a good critique partner or beta readers to give you feedback, even hire an independent editor who can give you feedback that will put you that much further ahead. Don't worry about statistics or percentages. Don't weigh your writing mojo down with thinking about what people say 'can't' happen. Think of the possibilities of what can happen. Then write a damn good book. And when you're finished that great book, write another one. Focus on the writing. Without that, the all the rest of it is a moot point. Be creative. Then worry about the business end of things afterwards.(less)

Happy New Year all!

I have a confession – I took a month off.  December to be exact. Not all of it, but most. I hadn’t intended on doing that. What I had intended was to put the nose to the grindstone, get lots of writing done while on vacation from the day job over the holidays and make massive headway on A HINT OF SCANDAL, the last book in the SINS & SCANDALS Series.

I did none of those things. I

“the best way to enhance one’s beauty was to let it shine through on its own, rather than trying to compete with a bunch of shiny bobbles or overdone fripperies.”
Kelly Boyce, An Invitation to Scandal

“I expect it is her dowry and family connections he is entranced with, not whether she is fair of face. One can do much with the first two and only need blow out the candles to live with the last.”
Kelly Boyce, A Sinful Temptation

Topics Mentioning This Author

“[Dean] “My dear fellow, who will let you?”

[Roark] “That’s not the point. The point is, who will stop me?”
Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
Bernard M. Baruch

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
Marilyn Monroe

Marcus Tullius Cicero
