Creeptastic World Building

Few things creep me out like the skittering of bugs on my skin. Or just the idea of bugs on my skin. My husband recently went on a military exercise and told me in great (read: disgustingly vivid) detail about the mosquitoes, ticks, and spiders they encountered along the way.

Of course as a paranormal romance and urban fantasy author,

One of the most unique things about rain in this area is that

I Need A Hero!

Don't we all feel that way sometimes? Can't you hear the song from the classic teen-movie Footloose? (Loved the re-make, by the way.) But really, when life gets messy, complicated, or even just too boring, we all want someone to ride in and make it all better - or at the very least, offer up a worthy distraction.

Some days, coffee is my hero. It perks me up (pun intended) and keeps me revved as I juggle the needs of greyhounds, cats, and birds with the needs of my current work in
