Big changes are coming to Make a Living Writing Romance…

I wanted to give everyone a head’s up about changes that are coming to the website. We’re going to be remodeling the site and shifting gears a bit. Look for additional information about how to be and feel more creative, inspired, motivated and successful as a romance author.

I have some excellent courses and materials being created for you and they’re all designed to help you tackle your writing goals with enthusiasm and inspired creativity.

I have the great pleasure to announce that I’m working with Sterling Publishing (a wholly owned subsidiary of Barnes & Noble) to create a different type of Story Starter book and I’m super excited to share that with you when it’s complete.

Creative Inspiration

Turning your romance book idea into a novel – You have your book idea and it’s a great one. Maybe you’re super excited about it and have written a page or two or even a full chapter.

So where do you write and what do you use to feel inspired and motivated? Read More
