The Ruby-Slippered Sisterhood -

Join me and my 2009 Golden Heart sisters

at our blog. Together we've presented a workshop in New York City, mentored writers, and auctioned ourselves off in the name of charity. We also run the RSS Winter Writing Festival from January to February each year.

My personal blog - Authorness. What you’ll find here is a load of information ranging from the very useful (stuff about writing and publishing) to the very useless (fluff pieces about cats). However, these days I’m much more into microblogging on my Facebook and Twitter accounts.
