In Operation Summer Storm, Tate Maddox is my hero. Sure he's tall and easy on the eye, has a body to die for and can curl a girls toes at twenty paces- but it's who he is inside that makes him truly come alive... (so the muscles and uniform don't hinder the process at all, but still....) Tate has his flaws. He's a little on the dominating side- although his take charge attitude is more a habit

I read something the other day in a newsletter about the famous quote 'Write what you know.' The author said something I found pretty profound- 'KNOW what you write!!' How true is this?! Lets face it, if I only wrote what I know.. I'd have a few paragraphs (mostly containing a lot of swear words and violent threats of maiming male body parts) about giving birth- that's about the extent of what I

I've just posted a question on my Romance writers forum and thought it would also make a good post question. This can apply to both readers and writers... Hi everyone. I have a question I'm curious about hearing others view points. I read widely and all kinds of genre's so coming across the F word and worse is no great shock, but when it comes to my own writing I have never used it. When I'm

I thought I might introduce you to the characters of Fallout and make them a little bit more personal to you. So today's introduction is Tully Chambers. If you haven't read the official blurb yet, you can do so by going to my last blog entry, and if you've already read it--- Then you'll realise Tully Chambers isn't exactly a shrinking violet... And maybe her first impression of Jake Holden

So I commented about a few certain books in the photo of my 'office' and then realised I can hardly mention just three of the fantastic authors I'm so lucky to know, without giving the rest of my friends a plug as well. Now we all know the promotional stuff an author has to do, and we've all seen the covers of new books posted on Facebook - mine included, which again, I'm sorry to everyone who

I've just contributed to a questionnaire on a writers life and the fantastic questions there got me really looking at my writing habits. Am I a plotter? Not really, I wish I was. I find if I sit down to plot out a story- I can never think of anything! Usually I will have a scene in my head- and it might not even be a particularly exciting scene either- maybe a conversation between two

 After talking to friends who were in the area visiting and were raving over the Valley, I realised how much I  tended to take the beauty of where I live for granted. Is it just me or does everyone do it? I remember living in Hervey Bay one of the biggest places in Australia to launch off and see whales- it was right there on my doorstep- and I didn't once go out and see them. I lived on the

I was wondering what to blog about and thought I might share a weird thing that happened.I have character named Peter Delaware, or Del as he’s known to most of his friends, in a book (that is yet to see the mess of an editors desk), but he’s been a main character in a series I’ve written and popping up in my head a lot lately.I was in the car, when a Nickleback song came on the radio, and I’m not
