If you’re a fan of the Sookie books or the HBO series, True Blood, you get a slightly different Pam in either one. But one thing that stays true is her dark wit. She’s anything but sweet. She’s tough and loyal to the end. And I adore her! In honor of Pam and her maker…

What hides and avoid detection in deep water sources – most of the time? You guessed it, Sea Monsters. I’m not above taking request here at Immortal Monday. It might take a while, as in the case of this one – sorry Paige! – but I usually get around to them, eventually. I hear the…
The past week or so I started finding the extra time, as summer started winding down and the kids prepared to go back to school, to inch back into a blogging groove. Maybe you noticed. I began getting out there again. I’m trying to visit blogs and keep up with mine while still maintaining a…
I have a special treat for you here at Immortal Monday. Reetta Raitanen has graciously agreed to share a bit of her specialized knowledge and I’m more than please to hand the reins over for the day. If you aren’t familiar with Reetta and her fabulous Link Feast, I highly suggest you check them out. They’re by far…
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a sample of my work on the blog. To be honest, I shy away from it. I tend to take the safe rather than sorry philosophy when it comes to considering querying agents and publishers. But a new meme is making its way around the blogosphere. Maybe you’ve…
This just in: Daily New reports the existence of vampires is (not) real! Could you imagine? It isn’t so, but every time they find a new and interesting discovery backing up myth and folklore, the news makes sure to word their headlines in the proper way to send the believers into a dither. So I…
Ah, to escape. Get away. Vacation. Summer is all but over for the family with kids. I won’t pretend you don’t hear my sigh. But I haven’t been able to make it through a single blog post without three or four interruptions. And, I mean reading YOUR posts, not working on my own! That’s an entirely…
Death. One of the few things we can be certain of in our lifetime. Death is a natural part of the cycle and doesn’t have to be seen as a bad thing. It’s all a matter of perspective. We are energy and energy can’t be destroyed so it must go somewhere. – Immortal Monday. I’ve…
I spent the past several days at the 2012 Romance Writers of America Conference in Anaheim. It was INSANELY AMAZING!!! My brain now feels like mush. I have accomplished very little since arriving home midday Sunday. There is a lot of information still bouncing around inside the inner walls of my head. Immortal Monday will reflect an easy, don’t-think-too-hard format as…
Comic-Con. What a thrill ride! I have participated in this exciting event more years than I can recall. I may be more of a geek, when it comes right down to it, than my husband. I care more than he does about checking on his company booth and grabbing a few shots. What’s up with…
For the next few days I will be immersed in the Comic-Con experience. Not just any Con experience, but the San Diego Comic-Con event. It’s something my husband and I have been doing together since before we were married. Which is well beyond a decade now. It started as a day outing for us, but after…
