    Suddenly is just a few keystrokes away from release. I'm going to load it to Amazon this weekend and check it out to make sure there isn't anything that still needs fixed and officially re-release it under my partner and my book label, Tea Rose Books.  I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks about reading the story for the first time, or reading it again. I know I loved reading it again. It is, by far, still my favorite story of everything I've written. Plus, with this done, I can start working on new projects. :) I hope you will write me and tell me what you think about this story, or any other story I've written at metudor.com@gmail.com. Namaste!

I love music and I always built a play list for my stories. I love finding songs that I think fit with my story. This song was what can to mind when I wrote the following scene in Second Chances: "Think about it. I’m sure Mom would love for you to stay.” Casey wanted her to stay, too. “I’ll think about it.” “Pam…uh…,” Casey began, “I…uh...wanted to apologize for being so forward at the bar.” Casey paused, and then said, “But I’m not really sorry about what I did.” Pam could feel the blush creeping up her neck. “It’s okay. I enjoyed it.” Casey’s whole body flushed with heat at Pam’s words. “Really?” “Yes,” Pam paused, a little surprised by what she was about to admit this to Casey. “I used to look forward to the way you always tried to touch me. I’ve been sorry many times that I didn’t give in and let you.”

If any of you follow me on Facebook, you know that I lost my beloved sister, Sheryl, on February 11, 2016. She was with her long time partner, James Shumberg. They died in a single engine plane crash off the coast of Destin, Florida. This tragedy put my life in a tailspin for a few weeks. My sister and I were very close and she was a huge supporter of my writing. I'm working through my mourning and back to writing, because that's what she would have wanted me to do. I have three major projects for this month, and hopefully I'll get at least one of them done. The one I want to finish the most, is the editing and re-releasing of Suddenly . I know there are several people wondering what happened to that book. The publisher it was originally published with went out of business, so the title was returned to me. The original editing was very poorly done, so I've been going over it with a fine tooth comb. My goal is to make it available again before the end of March. The...

I can't believe it's already almost the end of January 2016. After I had published Standing Her Ground on October 31, 2015, life became very busy with the holidays and crazy schedules. The time has flown by, and I feel like I haven't done anything, but I have. Besides spending a ton of time promoting Standing Her Ground, I've been editing Suddenly. As many of you know, my publisher, Itoh Press, gave me back the rights to Suddenly. It needed editing badly, so that has been one of my main focuses for the past few months.  I've started writing a holiday romance in November thinking I get it done in enough time to publish it by Christmas, but that didn't happen. And then, another story popped into my head demanding to be written. I've been writing, editing, and reading like a crazy fool. Mind you, I'm not complaining. I love doing all of those things, well, except for editing. ;) Anyway, I'm trying to fit more blog posts into my schedule so I c...

So much has happened over the past few months. I finally finished Standing Her Ground and it is available on Amazon now. I finally got around to updating my website with new information and links.  Suddenly's publisher, Itoh Press went out of business last month so Suddenly is temporarily unavailable. I'm working on doing a very thorough editing, but I will have it available again as soon as possible.  I have so many ideas for new stories, but I may be doing a short one for Christmas. A friend of mine challenged me to write a Christmas romance by Christmas so we'll see if I can get it done.  I'm also working on two other stories my partner has written that I need to edit and get ready for publication. Plus, I'm going to dig out a story I wrote several years ago and revise it. Whoo, making me tired just thinking about all this.  I'm also going to be doing a lot of reading. I'm really far behind so I'm going to be playing catch up. I...

The GCLS Conference was a lot of fun, although I skipped about half of the conference in order to spend time with my sister, Sheryl and her life partner, Jim. We rarely get to see each other and it's even more rare for them to get to see my partner, Rose and the grandkids. We had a fabulous time in New Orleans. It's a really beautiful and interesting city. We're looking forward to going back to visit sometime, preferably NOT in July. I ended up giving away the ten copies of Second Chances I took to the conference with me. Most of them I traded for other authors' books. Some of which I've already started reading. I got Rita Mae Brown's authograph, which was fabulous. I met Karin Kallmaker, Isabelle, and Baxter Trautman, all of which are authors I love, all wonderful lovely ladies. I also made some new friends, including Chris Paynter, another wonderful author. The panels were great and I learned some good stuff. I'm looking forward to using that informati...
