Coming Undone
Harlequin Blaze
April 2007

"[Tyler's] straight forward, dead-on writing style invites us to get hot and happy and bowled over by love right along with Carly and Hunt. Which makes being there when they do come undone one of the best things about the novel — next to just how great a romance it is." -Michelle Buonofiglio, Romance: Buy The Book


Risking It All
Harlequin Blaze
June 2007

"With smooth writing and a fast pace, RISKING IT ALL pushes all the right buttons. From the detailed characterization, realistic dialogue, and passionate romance to the heartwarming conclusion, romance fans are going to love RISKING IT ALL." -Terrie Figueroa, Romance Reviews Today


Riding The Storm
(Sydney Croft)
Bantam Dell
September 2007

“Fans of JR Ward have a brand new writer to add to their auto-buy list – Sydney Croft. Exhilarating, erotic and engrossing, paranormal romance readers will not want to miss this sizzling debut!" _Julie Bonello, SingleTitles.com

“On a similar note, while you're free to think whatever you like about my life and death, if you think I wasted my life, I'll tell you you're wrong. We're all going to die of something. I died doing a job I loved. When your time comes, I hope you are as fortunate as I was.”
-Andrew Olmsted, US Solider, killed in Iraq on January 3rd, 2008 – words from his final blog, written to be put up in the event of his death. (www.andrewolmsted.com
***
“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more.”
– Erica Jong

writing, writing and more writing…

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

So I’m writing and writing and writing on the NEVER ENDING book that is Nick’s (TOO HOT TO HOLD) and I’m writing and writing these subplot heroines who are sisters and I just keep saying to myself, I know there’s something you’re not telling me…
And so I wrote and wrote and suddenly one of the […]

today’s progress…

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

I wrote four scenes yesterday on Nick’s book (Too Hot To Hold) - good scenes, necessary information, but not great scenes. Scenes that drove me crazy trying to fix them, tweak them, do something with them. Then I finally figured it out late last night, right before I collapsed.
They were all in the […]

Sunday check-in

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

Make sure you head over to Sven’s place if you’re participating in the challenge and let us know your progress!
You know, math has never been my thing - I just don’t think in math terms. I think in, OMG, I want to write the entire book today, terms. Which is what can really […]

the usual

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Lots of writing these days…seems like as soon as something gets turned in there are more revisions on something else. I’m excited to get back into Nick’s book, into the actual writing - I’ve actually forgotten the story, which is nice - it means I get to go into it with fresh eyes.
In […]

just writing. and writing…

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

Have just been and and
Chocolate is brain food, no?
Proposal is finally shaping up. Need to look to Blaze and novella edits (times 2). And Syd book 3.
It’s all coming along. And I put my favorite poem up over at Sven’s site!

heightened sense of smell

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

Migraine today. I knew it was coming from 2 nights ago, thanks to my aura of smelling things that aren’t really there. Witness the conversation the other night at 1AM:
Me: Do you smell something burning?
Zoo: (woken from dead sleep) No.
Me: Smells like rubber burning. Like, maybe the air conditioning […]

full steam ahead

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

*warning - post being made under the influence of a very, very large iced coffee plus a cup of regular coffee. And two donuts*
So Larissa was talking the other day about having an ‘off’ day since I had the Syd novella to work on. Normally, with a full manuscript, neither of us […]

novellas & other stuff

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

I’ve got some notes for an RWA post somewhere, under the piles of paper threatening to bury me. So for now, you’ll get a sweating challange post.
Larissa has a post up here that talks about the Sydney novella we’re currently writing. (check out the comments where HelenKay threatens violence…) And yes, this novella’s […]

random superheroines

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

I have so SO many books in my TBR pile at the moment that I’m dying to get to, but until I finish up a few things, there’s no way. Sneaking in a few chapters here and there never works, especially if I fall in love with the book, because then I have to […]

it’s only Wednesday?

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

Feels like it should be Friday. Thursday, at least…
Okay, so the second 1/3 of Linger is a go with a few easy additions and changes. I’ve got a list of scenes I need to add in and flesh out but it’s all basically come together. Which is a relief because I do love […]

“Half my life is an act of revision.” -John Irving
“Books aren’t written–they’re rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn’t quite done it.” - Michael Crichton
Linger’s close-ish to being done - another twenty pages or so should do it. My editor’s comments […]

real live characters

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

A lot of people have been asking me where my ideas for certain books come from. Some of these people are members of my family, some are friends, and some are readers. The first two groups seem to think I have some covert life wherein I go out and meet Navy SEALs and DEA […]

revising

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

First of all, I’m having a wonderful release month (and trying to ignore migraine from hell) - I’ve gotten so many wonderful emails from readers who’ve enjoyed Coming Undone - reader mail is THE most wonderful thing ever!!!:biggrin:
(random aside: One of my favorite sites, Astrology for Writers, is gone. Page no longer found. […]

Astrology for Writers, Editors and Filmmakers
Aries: mars in your solar third house is a big fat rush of writing energy. stay at your desk long enough to receive the genius. skittish energy can be assuaged with a long walk before the tasks at hand.
This is good to know, because I need a really REALLY […]

just some random things…

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

Larissa and I made a pact that, once we sent our second Sydney book in and our 3rd Sydney proposal that we’d put Sydney book 3 (TTD) aside and work on our own projects. For her, Demon ER and for me, Harder To Breathe (otherwise known as Jake’s book) We said we’d finish […]

January deadlines met

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

Somehow, I ended up with deadlines, for Sydney and Blaze, on the same day. The Sydney stuff was in early - Larissa and I got the okay on our Book 3 proposal last week, which was great news. We’d put that story aside until we heard, and we’d started working on a new […]

lists

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

Everyone has all these new blog plans, what day they’re going to talk about what, etc. I want to do that, but since I can’t even manage the Thursday Thirteen on a regular basis, I know better than to even try.
It’s strange, because I am pretty well organized, life-wise. With the five-year old, […]

ways to drive a writing partner crazy

Friday, December 29th, 2006

1. Have a proposal for contracted Sydney book 3 due in less than three weeks
2. Mention casually that I’m certainly not thinking about the hero for Sydney book 4
3. Mention casually that I’m certainly not in the process of writing the hero’s opening scene for Sydney book 4 when I’m supposed to be […]
