Anatomy of a Soundtrack – Bluebird

So since you all know how much I love soundtracks to my novels, I thought I’d do some posts about the songs I choose as I choose them.  And instead of starting with something obvious for Taylor-made (like “Coin-Operated Boy” or “Tailor Made”), I thought I’d start with a Malinda song.  Probably ‘cuz I want [...]

Teaser Tuesday – Awkward date

I know, I haven’t updated the blog since last Tuesday, but I do have two more days before my blogging week ends (I go Thursday to Thursday) so I promise at least one more post in the next two days. Maybe I’ll do a Workout Wednesday or a Lots of Love Thursday.  Ooh, I think [...]

Teaser Tuesday – Justin and Malinda

This week I worked on Love Sucks edits instead of Taylor-Made.  Since I don’t know if I can post those, you get an excerpt from last week.  So this is the first non-prologue scene with Justin and Malinda. (ETA: Context: BOIS are androids built to fight in the place of human soldiers.  The company that [...]

Love Sucks’ Soundtrack – Finished

Thanks to the Greed Giveaway and decisions made on the novel between my editor and me, I feel confident enough to share the final Love Sucks soundtrack with you guys.  Now, here’s a note before I start.  I wrote LS waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 2008, so all of these songs are older, even the ones I [...]

Winner of the Greed Giveaway

Hey, you guys.  Hope you had a great Valentine’s Day with lots of romance, or at least a lot of chocolate (it has no calories on V-day, didn’t you know?) There were so many great entries.  I downloaded a lot of them just because I really liked them, and some I already had.  Thank you [...]

Teaser Tuesday – Cheesy Romance Style

So, for Valentine’s Day, I worked really hard to finish a scene that’s the beginning of the romance between my MCs, but I’m just not satisfied with it.  So you’re getting a different scene I wrote this week.  If the below doesn’t sound like a cheesy romance novel, I’m not doing my job.  Constructive criticism [...]

Tell Him, Tell Him, Tell Him, Tell Him Right now

Just a reminder.  Tomorrow is the last day of the Greedy giveaway. Okay, down to business.  Writers, if you have an agent and you have a question about subbing, there is a very simple solution to the problem.  A wonderful solution that un-agented authors don’t have the luxury of.  It is simply this:  Talk to [...]

Absolute Visions is Out!

After months of delays, Absolute Visions, the SFF anthology put out by Absolute Write Water Cooler, is finally out! You can find it here. Or by searching “Sage Collins.” It’s also on Goodreads, which I might as well tell you is my new obsession. I haven’t read the other stories.  I should be getting a [...]

An Open Letter to My Cats

Dear Jezzie, Jasper, Jack, and Harvest (yes, I know two of you aren’t mine, but you’re just as guilty), The following things do not inspire me to get out of bed and feed you, even if they wake me up (which usually they don’t because you start when my alarm goes off). Crying over and [...]

The Return of Teaser Tuesday – Taylor’s Dream

There’s a week left in the Greedy song contest.  Don’t forget to give me a song to enter for the chance to win When the Sea is Rising Red and 10 older books from my Bye-bye Borders Extravaganza. This week we’re bringing back Teaser Tuesday, so here’s an excerpt from Taylor-made that I wrote this [...]
