If you haven’t heard, it’s almost November. Family gatherings, Black Friday sales, term paper deadlines…child’s play. National Novel Writing Month approaches, breathing down the neck of the headless horseman. OK, OK, it’s not that bad. It’s exciting and fun. There are probably thousands of blogs, books and social media posts discussing the trials and triumphs…
Mexican Stack Hack
If you’ve been to a school fundraiser, church social or family reunion in the South*, you’ve had some version of this smorgasbord, also called Mexican Fiesta or Mexican Pile-on.

I’ve got this…

A First Look
As we see the faint flickering of that proverbial light in the tunnel, here are a few lines from Chapter 2. ~ KRB Frankie’s bejeweled clutch buzzed. BATHROOM 911 She looked across the ballroom to see Candace reading the same message. Candace, made eye contact with Frankie and mouthed “What happened?” Frankie only shrugged. In…
Let’s Talk About….S.E.X
So here I am. Mother of two. Confirmed gutter brain. Closet vampire/paranormal romance and adult romance reader and writer. I’ve written this stuff! It’s been read. To a small select and relatively safe audience for sure, but this is not an unknown element to me. And a vital ingredient in the genre we’ve chosen…
