The Firstborn is here! … now I have to tidy up.
.It’s release day! The Firstborn is born, a bouncing new book, ready to be read and enjoyed! (To help matters along, I’ll just get all the links and such out of the way.) Want to buy the ebook? (Ignore the fact that I sound like I’m selling knock-off watches from the trunk of my car):…

The Firstborn – The First Chapter
We’re down to… *looks at calendar*… three days until The Firstborn is released. I’ve teased you with excerpts. I’ve given you a cover. Today? I’m just going to give you the entire first chapter. Now excuse me, I have a quiche in the oven and I don’t want it to burn. The Firstborn Chapter One…

The Firstborn Cover Reveal
Goodness gracious. Today is my youngest child’s first birthday. The kids are all recovering from a sniffly cold and clamoring to go outside, except that it’s a deluge and I’m waiting for an ark to show up at our doorstep any minute. This weekend we’re moving furniture and buying drywall and having a birthday party…

Getting to Know You, or an Excerpt from The Firstborn
Today marks six days until my next book is released.

How to be Pregnant (in Regency England)
My next release, The Firstborn (yes, I WILL find a way to slip that into every conversation from now until… oh, let’s say summer) features a baby named George. He’s chubby and smooshy and spits up on people at inopportune moments, but let’s go back a bit and examine what it was like to be…

Rooting for the Bad Guy
Generally, my heroes are good guys, in the sense that they’ve always been good. They may be a bit stuck up when I pick up their story, or have made a few poor choices here and there (because no one in the real world ever does that… *shifty eyes*…) but for the most part, they’re…

The Firstborn’s Hero: Lord Haughton
Writing heroes is always fun. I never set out with a perfectly formed character in mind. I usually have a scene, or even a scene-let, with a few lines of dialog, maybe a bit of action, and that’s it. But it gives me enough of a springboard that I can start building a story around…
