Hearing Voices: Point of View in Fiction Writing
The Midwife’s Confession is written from five different points of view, and I’m here to tell you, that was a challenge!

When I held my online signing for North American readers, I had many requests for personalized bookplates from those of you in other English-speaking countries but wasn’t able to help you out then.

Read MoreHave you Ever Given an Interview in a Bathtub?
(The online booksigning continues until May 7th. Request your bookplate if you haven’t already!) I’m on the Surf City, NC pier. It’s sunny and the water is a stunning blue.

First, I may be slightly absent this week, as far as a new blog post goes, though I’ll check your comments at least once a day, I promise. My work-in-progress (formerly known as The Waif–still waiting to hear which title the publishers like) is due a week from today and that means I’ll be tied…
Read MoreBeach Renourishment in my Backyard
Well, I brought my work-in-progress down to my Topsail Island condo for some quality revision time. I knew the Topsail Beach beach renourishment project was in full swing, but I didn’t realize I’d have a front row seat for the show!

Read MoreBeaufort Research and the Spooky Thing
I thought I’d share some of the pictures from my three day research trip to Beaufort, North Carolina and tell you the slightly spooky thing that happened to me while I was there. My character, twenty-two-year-old Robin, lives in Beaufort and I wanted to learn more about her everyday life. Robin manages a bed and…
