Carr busied himself ripping lids off tubs of old toys as if he wasn’t going to answer me. After clearing the garage, though, he must have had second thoughts. “I assumed he was another one of Smart’s guinea pigs.” At my confused frown, he added, “He experiments on zombies.”

The relationship between Klaus and Caroline has a lot of room to grow (and he is still in need of redemption), but I’m hooked. Enjoy this fan video dedicated to the Vampire Diaries’ bad boy + good girl romance.

I am tickled pink to announce that the second volume in my Dark Caster paranormal series, Spell of Binding, is now an audiobook.
Even better news? The book Reading Cafe reviewer Xtina said “kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time” is specially priced at only $1.99!
Look for it on iTunes, Amazon, and Audible.com.

Do you have any bad habits in your writing? I never realized before last year how fixated I am on characters’ eyes. Maybe other writers focus on hands or mouths or costumes, but for me it’s all in the eyes.
My heroes and heroines gaze, look, glance, peer, and stare.
I still haven’t figured out what is so fascinating to my subconscious about a person’s eyes, but I have to be careful not to overdo it and distract readers from the larger story.
What about you? Ever read an author too detailed on a character’s gestures or appearance?

“The door opened slowly on Simone, the last of Pollard’s group. She wiped her hands across her wide hips, re-arranging the hem of a shirt she’d probably slept in the night before. Hair, clothes, and oral hygiene were all suffering. The apocalypse did not look good on her.”

I have been such a fan of Danny Strong’s since he played Jonathan on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But knowing he’s guest starring on Girls and writing Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2 makes me adore him even more.
I don’t usually brag, but since I’ve already started I may as well get it all out now.
At the same convention I was lucky enough to get my picture taken with James Marsters (Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer).
This is me and Nora Roberts taken at a Romance Writers of America Conference. She ran out of books to sign so she sweetly offered to take photos with the next people waiting in line.
Do you have pics on your phone or maybe next to your desk taken with people you admire? Tell me about it!
