The thing about word count…

One of the most basic things I didn’t realize when I started writing was how to deal with / convert the word count of my manuscript.  In the past week, I’ve gotten a few questions about it (I’m assuming because NaNo is full force) so I figured I’d answer it here.
I understand it can differ [...]

RT Reviews!

I had to share two new reviews from March’s Romantic Times!

BEYOND HIS CONTROL
March 2008
RT Rating: 4.5 stars!!!
