Conference Tips with Ruth Logan Herne
For the unpubbed author, there is nothing better than finding people who support and encourage you. People who teach and guide you. People who tell you the truth, critique with love, and have a snarky sense of humor. Ruth Logan Herne has been one of those people for me! One of the fabulous fifteen of… Continue reading Conference Tips with Ruth Logan Herne

Love at First Thought with Margaret Brownley
Well, Margaret Brownley already knows this, but I’ll just share it again. I absolutely loved all the kissin’ that took place in her novel, A Suitor for Jenny. Love it. And it had such a great mix of humor and conflict (with nicely placed smooches inbetween), I could help but enjoy the read. Her first… Continue reading Love at First Thought with Margaret Brownley
