I've done a number of blog tours over the years, posting on different sites. Now I'm bringing them to you!

Thank you to Rachel and Rachel Brimble Romance for having me here today!
1. What do you wish men understood about women?
So many things J. Sometimes we don’t want them to fix things, we just want them to listen. Active listening is supportive, and encourages—mmhmm and uh-huh are perfectly fine and helpful.
2. Do you only work on one book at a time?
I used to. But there are tons of awesome authors out there producing five or ten (or more) wonderful books a year. Which is great—it encourages me to always look for ways to write more, and write better. I still usually do one thing at a time, for example, write new material on one book in the morning and edit another in the afternoon. Some parts of the process need time to simmer, or time off between passes, and I try to take advantage of that. In August, I’m doing pre-edits on Downbeat (Biting Love Book 7, coming March 2014) during weeks two and four, and working on a new proposal during weeks one and three.
3. Who is your favorite fictional couple?
Francis Crawford of Lymond and Philippa Somerville, from Dorothy Dunnett’s Lymond Chronicles (books). Then in no special order it’s Holmes and Watson from Sherlock Holmes (books/television); Bones and Booth from Bones (television); Harry Dresden and Karrin Murphy from the Dresden Files (books/television); Rhage and Mary from Lover Eternal (book) and Ramses Emerson and Nefret Forth from the Amelia Peabody series (books).
