3 Things I Love Most about “That Boyfriend Book”

The manuscript hit my inbox with an electronic thud that still rings in my ears.  No joke. Secret Beach Boyfriend.  What had I gotten myself into? Seriously!  One of the best things about these Independence Islands Series books is that I'm the content editor.  That means I get to read them Continue Reading

Time to Spice Up Your Life—and Your Reading!

Have I lost my ever-lovin' mind?  Am I now writing "Christian erotica?" Excuse me while I laugh and hurl at the same time.  Oops. One more.  Just a second. Okay, now that I'm back down to chortles and snickers at the idea I could even manage it if I wanted to (anyone who knows me knows I'm Continue Reading

So Excited to Share This Great New Service (& Giveaway)

Excited to Share This Great New Service

I don't always recall how I met certain authors or publicity folks, but I remember when I met her. An author I didn't really know well reached out and invited me to be in a collection with her and a few others. We had a great run for a few months and by then I'd made a few new friends. Among those Continue Reading

What Happens When a Character Demands a Book?

What Happens When a Character Demands a Book?

“What other books is she in?” Do all authors get that question? I wonder. You see, it’s one I hear almost every time a reader and I chat about a character he or she likes. We’ll talk about flaws and annoyances—fun fact: most of the time I’m annoyed abot the same things my readers are—and Continue Reading

Only I Would Do Something So Stupid… and Fun!

Dishes clinked, silverware rattled, and 80s music that I didn’t like when it was popular pulsed through Denny’s.  Clark sat across from me, ready to talk about The Agency Files.  You know Clark.  THIS GUY? I had a nebulous idea… fledgling.  I wanted Flynne to be forced to play agent.  Clark Continue Reading

3 Most Important Reasons You Should "Always" Leave a Review

3 Most Important Reasons You Should “Always” Leave a Review

Mortification, thy name is Chautona. That’s about how I felt when I saw the review. The 1-star review. For my children’s novel—Shadows & Secrets. I did not like the storyline - not quite believable. Too much juicy sex for my taste. Strike it out for me.” The storyline was fantasy. Um, Continue Reading

Have I Got a Birthday Gift for YOU!

Have I Got a Birthday Gift for YOU!

The paper cutter sliced through another sheet of cardstock—another. One by one, I stacked sheets in piles. The base, the image layer, patterned paper, ribbons, tags… Once I’d gathered all the pieces, assembly began. Some needed coloring, others just layering. As much as I love to use ribbons and Continue Reading

How My Heart Attack Sent My Husband to the ER

Christmas Adam 2016. Balmy weather, palm trees, beautiful houses built into the side of a hill—every traditionalist’s Christmas dream, right? I’ll confess. I didn’t want to be there, and not just because I’m a natural homebody. Perhaps if it had been a Currier and Ives scene. A farmhouse, Continue Reading

How to Destroy Your Life in 3 Super-Easy Steps

How to Destroy Your Life in 3 Super-Easy Steps

I wanted this to be “Ella’s Best Tips for Creating an Exciting New Life.” And to be fair, when you have no memory of life at all, anything is exciting. I get that.

How a Dear Friend Inspired an Interesting Minor Character

How a Dear Friend Inspired an Interesting Minor Character

I met her on a homeschool message board—one of those old-school things where great long multi-nested threads went on and on about everything from math curricula to that oh, so annoying, “But what about socialization?” question. She was a quiltmaker.  So was I.  She loved dressmaking.  So did I. Continue Reading
