REVIEW: Snitch by Rene Gutteridge
Having not read Scoop, the first book in the Occupational Hazard series, I was’t sure what to expect. I only knew if Rene Gutteridge wrote it, it had to be an entertaining read. I was right! No one does quirky characters quite like Rene Gutteridge. The characters jumped off the page and into full color.…
Read MoreWhen Will I Learn????
Hopefully this will be the last time I will have to learn this particular lesson. And what is that lesson? Back up your work EVERYTIME you write. My computer died yesterday. It came up with an error message, yet there is hope. Though costly hope. $200 for data recovery and I did a ton of…

Read MoreA Mother’s Reminder
Reposted from May 2004 I’ve been really frustrated with Chris (9) lately.

Have you ever done something you know you shouldn’t have? When a part of you is urging you to stop, but you can’t so you continue on… Tonight was one of those nights. When I should have been writing, I decided to check my bloglines. And after seeing close to 1000 posts unread, I decided…
Read MoreRomantic Suspense
Jill Elizabeth Nelson here. I write romantic suspense. I do not write suspense. I do not write romance. It is romantic suspense. Well, I do write in other genres, but today’s blog is about a subgenre in which I’ve been published, and what differentiates it from related genres. So just what IS the difference between…

We were vacationing on Pensacola Beach when I opened this email! (Thank God for high speed internet hotels) Needless to say, we were all thrilled and surprised!
