  • The Magic of Sensory Memory

    This month I’ve been thinking about – and experiencing – the magic of sensory memory. Have you ever smelled something that reminds you strongly of a particular memory, or perhaps a person? Maybe tasted something that reminds you vividly of an experience? I referenced the idea of this in my book Must Love Death, and…

  • On the Power of Hope and Dreams for Writers

    Perhaps it isn’t surprising that in my first book, the acknowledgements section is pretty long. 😉 I also dedicate my book to all the dreamers out there. And the reason for both is very much the same: I was, and am, a dreamer. And without the support of all those people I list in the…

  • Paranormal Romance Tropes

    I did mention last week I was a tad obsessed with romance tropes lately, right? Well, it got me thinking that while romance has some larger tropes, specific sub-genres of romance, like paranormal romance, can make use of the traditional tropes, and also have some unique ones of their own. So just in case you’re…

  • Zombies – Arggggh!

    I hate zombies. I do not watch zombie movies. I do not read zombie books. And when my husband watches his beloved “Walking Dead,” I leave the room. Know what my next book contains? Yep. Zombies. Now, it is true that in some ways I may be a bit of a masochist. But I’ve been…
