Thanks to Nancee Cain for reading and reviewing Masquerade: Oddly Suited , a young adult anthology including my sports romance short story, Behind the Catcher's Mask . Fast-pitch softball is Andie Wilson’s life. She’s a fierce pitcher hoping to score a college scholarship, and she hates the annoying distraction of cocky baseball players crashing her high-school charity game. But she doesn’t anticipate the impact of one baseball player: Colt Turner. As Colt stares at her through his catcher’s mask, his steadfast gaze may be just what she needs to guide her through a crisis. And Colt may need Andie, too—to cope with the secret hiding behind his mask. Nancee's  review reminds me that I want to share a teaser from my story with you. This scene takes place after the story, from Colt's perspective. Sharp air fills my lungs as I stride toward Andie’s front door. This early cold snap has blown in uninvited.  Welcome to Ohio . Andie skips out and closes the door beh...

Happy June to all writers! Thanks to Alex Cavanaug h for starting this support group. Ack, I'm a little late getting my post up. My work has slowed down for the summer, and apparently my memory has slowed as well. Thanks to this month's co-hosts: Diane Burton Kim Lajevardi Sylvia Ney Sarah Foster Jennifer Hawes Madeline Mora-Summonte IWSG Day Question: Of all the genres you read and write, which is your favorite to write in and why? I write sports romance and romantic suspense--the same genres I tend to read. A newer genre to me is psychological thrillers. For book club this month, I chose The Silent Patient , a 5-star read for me that featured some great insight into therapy.  A friend loaned me The Breakdown , another psychological thriller I enjoyed (here's my review .) I rarely figure out mysteries when I read. Do you? I wanted to read that same author's debut, Behind Closed Doors , so I was lucky to find an e-audiobook at the library righ...

Happy New Year to all writers! I'm vacationing in Florida this week so I've abdicated all responsibility, including a timely post. Today we went to Universal and I walked 23,000 steps! But I'm especially excited to share that my short story was selected for the next IWSG anthology, Masquerade: Oddly Suited .  When I first learned of the anthology's young adult romance / masquerade theme, a vision of smoldering blue eyes behind a catcher's mask came to me. I built on that image to write a YA sports romance involving a baseball catcher and a softball pitcher. Congratulations to all authors who submitted. Here's the list of titles for the anthology:   Oddly Suited by LG Keltner Sea of Sorrows by AV Brown Behind the Catcher’s Mask by Jennifer Lane A Diver’s Ball by Angela Brown Fearless Heart by Deborah Solice The Dark Charade by CD Gallant-King The Cog Prince by Elizabeth Mueller Flower of Ronda by Myles Christensen Rem...
