Blog postDear Facebook:
I’m a big fan of Facebook. I love this place. I love how you bring people together on a deeper level than in face-to-face conversations sometimes, because we can connect on levels that sometimes are masked by our everyday lives.
But as a romance writer, I would be remiss if I didn’t advocate for rethinking your recent crackdown on talk of sexuality.
I understand why you did it. Preventing exploitation and crimes is a worthy goal. And yes, you aren’t a plat -
Blog postBecause the pain of not writing was worse than the pain of worrying about being judged for what I wrote. For being who I am.
Because expressing myself and enjoying the satisfaction of a well-crafted sentence became my favorite thing. The only thing that mattered.
Because I realized I would always be judged, and what mattered was what I thought of me, not what someone else thought of me. The reaction to my published writing is always about the reader. It’s not about me.

Blog postSex scenes are my favorite! My normal advice is to write better sex scenes, have sex.
Sorry, that might not be the best help, so let me see if I can break writing the scene down.
The sex scene has to be integral to the story, meaning if you remove the scene, the story doesn’t make sense. It also has to move forward the plot, not just be thrown in there without thought. Having it an essential part of the story makes it believable and honest.
After deciding that the scene i -
Blog postThree years ago, when I was on Wattpad and had no readers, I typed, “I have the best readers” on my bio.
Wishful thinking.
I didn’t have any readers, I barely had a public book, but I wanted them.
I wanted YOU.
My statement came true, and it came true fast.
I now have the best readers. (100% sure I’m not the only author who thinks this of their readers. I don’t mean “best readers” in a competitive sense. I mean the right readers

Blog postI’ve seen polls querying what words people like or don’t like. Moist is a frequent offender on the don’t-like lists, while the favored lists have zingers like snickerdoodle or catawampus.
Because I’m a writer, I prefer to not censor myself, period. I’d rather have all of the English language at my disposal for use in the proper place. Completely ignoring a word is like not having a color of paint in my palette when I need it.

Blog postI spent a year in Granada, Spain, when I was in college. I lived with a few Spanish girls in a flat in the middle of town by Plaza de la Trinidad. When I lived there, I wrote daily in my journal. I think even back then, I knew I wanted to be a writer, and I knew I wanted to do something with this experience.
My first book in my new Love in Translation series, called Sol, takes place in Granada, and has themes of recovery from

Blog postDear Facebook:
I have just returned from 3 days in Facebook jail for posting a PG-13 image in the comments in a closed group. The image had been previously shared on Facebook.
Now, I adore Facebook. I love how it brings people together, and how we can share in each other’s lives.
But I would be remiss if I didn’t advocate for myself and for a change in rules.
I understand that Facebook may want “Community Standards,” however the problem is that the standards are co -
Blog postThis year, I’m trying reasonableness on. It feels radical.
It feels radical, probably because I’m a recovering perfectionist.
Before I had kids, I used to refold towels the Martha Stewart way. Now I’m just grateful for clean towels.
But that doesn’t mean that I gave up perfectionism in other things.
My normal m.o. is (was?) to read a nonfiction book on something—exercise plan, diet plan, financial freedom plan, marketing plan, o

Blog postI'm in the mood for reinvention, but it's weird for me to feel this around the first of the year.
This year, I declared my New Year's back in the end of November.
I started thinking about how I wanted my life to be. What things I wanted to change. The differences I wanted in my finances, work life, and body. (More, more satisfying, healthier.)
As I thought

Blog postPeople generally live on one of two planes of existence: the competitive world or the creative world.
It’s easy to tell.
People who live in the competitive world think that there isn’t enough for them. This is because, of course, if you are competing, there’s only room for one at the top—of whatever. Book sales, retweets, liked photos, net worth, grade point average. It doesn’t matter what the goal is. If you’re in the competitive world, you are always striving to get to that go -
Blog postLast night, I went to Barnes and Noble for the second time in two days. While I’d gone there to peruse the “books with nothing in them” aisle (as my husband calls the journals), I found myself as always in the Romance section, which is normally shunted to the very back.
I don’t know if the retail planning is like that of grocery stores—place the things people really want, like milk, in the back and set up enticing impulse buys in the front—or if it’s what I perceived: people—women—are
