My ConCarolinas starts off light on Friday, June 1… 4:00pm Kiss Me, You Fool! Romance remains wildly popular as a genre, and it has a place in most other writing as well. But so many non-romance authors have a hard time writing romantic scenes that don’t leave the reader rolling her eyes. What can non-romance

A busy weekend wearing my other-job hat, but back in the saddle (okay, the Writing Chair) today -getting ready to post the new story for Patreon/Gumroad patrons, plus also some excerpted bits from the WiP, and working on a new project I’ll be announcing…soonish. *g*  I’m dancing as fast as I can, I swear.

Here’s a recipe: Take a bunch of writers. Throw them, some tents, a bunch of laptops, and a couple of coolers of food and booze into a campsite, and put them to work for the weekend. You get a lot of words written, a lot of stories told around the campfire, and, with a little
