Today marks the time of the year when the veil between the worlds is thin and those of less traditional faiths honor their departed loved ones. Today, I honor a dear friend and mentor who recently passed into the Summerland. Reverend Donna Jeanne Guerra was a bright light in this world, a pastor of a small metaphysical church in Florida who touched - and changed - many lives for the better. Her

I’ll be signing copies of my books at Mystikal Scents, a lovely Metaphysical shop this Saturday 10/24 from 1pm-3pm. The store is in the Tampa Bay area and is a great place to hang out. Each Saturday in October they are having a festival honoring one of the elements (earth, air, fire, water, spirit). There will be readers on hand, cool new agey shopping, and more. Hope to see some familiar faces!

Had fun chatting tonight with Terry of Romance in the Backseat. We talked about movies, books, paranormal phenomena, Samhain, among other things. In spite of our late start (technical snafu) and the kids busting in on me and demanding we put up Halloween decorations, I had a great time. Terry is a lovely host. And so knowledgeable about movies!!! I've got a few more to add to my list to see (

I had a blast tonight chatting with authors Elaine Levine and Melissa Mayhue in Second Life. They host guest authors there on Book Chat Island a few times a month. Was way cool fun.

Thanks so much to those who stopped by, especially author Linda Ciletti who came by and told us all about her

My second book is officially on the shelves and I'm - well - giddy. The thrill has not worn off. I'm told by friends who have published lots of books (way more than me) that it never wears off. Which is why when my friend Cheryl went to her local bookstore to buy my book and took a picture of my latest release on the shelves, I was tickled. Here are the pictures. (they are a little grainy - I

Some days are highly productive. Some days just aren't. Some days I can sit down, zero in what needs to be done at work, home, writing, with the family, and get it all done. Some days I just can't focus. It's not helping that I'm cutting back on caffeine. Talk about feeling sluggish! I was recently listening to the audiobook version of Harmonic Wealth by James Ray (I'm enjoying it immensely) and

I was interviewed not too long ago for an article which will appear in New Witch Magazine at some point in the future. One of the questions I was asked is whether I think more publishers should/will publish fiction - in particular romance - that is geared toward people interested in New Age/Metaphysical or Pagan theories and ideas. I told her that - yes - I did think this would happen. I know the

Okay, folks. I recently put together a little love spell for you. Tired of just imagining your perfect hero? Ready to attract him/her into your life? This is an easy one...enjoy! P.S. For those uncomfortable with the word spell, think of this as a positive affirmation - there is really no difference between the two except that the spell has more focused and prolonged intent - and brings faster

Just got done watching Slumdog Millionaire. I totally see why this movie won - what was it - 8 Oscars? It was a sad, disturbing film in many ways...but after we finished watching it, my hubby and I turned to each other and had the same thought. The movie actually makes a point...every event in your life, even awful ones, can have a purpose of some sort. Even if we don't always know what that

Good news for those of us writing in the genre. And according to this NY Times article, paranormal elements are in high demand. Even better! READ ON...Looks like I'd better polish all those proposals I have lingering on my desk and get them to my agent. I've got some more books to sell!
