I turned down a book deal this week. I didn’t even feel bad about it, just instinctively knew I had to say no, that the direction they wanted to take with the book was not the direction that I wanted to go. It’s a scary feeling not having a contract or deadline, scary because [...] We’ve all read the book at some time or another—either forced to read it in high school, or just picked it up for the sake of reading a classic—I don’t know many people who haven’t read Huckleberry Finn. For me, it was Mark Twain at it’s best. But according to Publisher’s Weekly, the book will [...] Aahhh, the dreaded question. A friend or family member is making small talk and asks the question that most writers (or is it just me?) hates. “So, how’s the book going?” “Um…well…it’s going…” “Is it going to be better than the last book?” “That’s the plan.” “When are you going to be finished?” With [...] If you follow me on Twitter, (Of course you are by now, right?

I have so many post it notes everywhere I can barely see my desk. I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I feel like the hard part is over. Time to make this book come alive!

I’m a Women’s Fiction writer with two novels under my belt, Six O’clock and Unbeweaveable. Curl Up and Write is where I fuse my two loves: hair and writing. You’d be surprised at the similarities! When I’m not writing, I’m watching How’s It Made with my Hubby (and pretending I’m not interested in learning how a tennis racket is built), or I’m reading to my daughter. I also dabble in gardening, love to cook, and watch way too much HGTV.  |
