It’s All Greek To Me
We’re having a little discussion on the Pink Petal Books Reader Group about heroes, Alpha, Beta, Omega, Cowboy, Cop, Construction Worker, Corporate Giant… It got me to thinking, who ARE my heroes? What are they? Do they fit neatly into the Greek alphabet or do they cross the lines? I do, after all, love to [...]
Auld Lang Syne
I’ve taken an old acquaintance of mine from The Bar and breathed new life into him. Or rather, have begun to breathe new life into him.

Shut Up!
Sometimes my characters talk too much. Here’s an example of this. The menage story started to take shape because the heroine started talking to me about one of the two heroes. She really likes him.
