The struggle is real. I’m not talking about the action or thriller component in a Romantic Thriller. I’m referring to the right balance of action to romance. I’m not sure if there’s a formula out there to follow. And even if there was, I’m not the kind of writer to adhere to those rules, anyway.… Read More Romantic Thrillers
Some say there is a fine line between love and hate. Others insist the two are diametrically opposed. I often wonder about our capacity for such extremes. Yet I see evidence of this every day. I’m a huge fan of those heart-wrenching videos of cats and kittens who are on the verge of death and… Read More Love and Hate
I don’t feel sorry for Bud Light. Not one bit! Why? Because they thought they’d be successful by continuing to change lanes when all they did was crash and burn. When they first sent Dylan Mulvaney the can with her face on it celebrating her journey, if I was so inclined to drink beer, I… Read More Pick A Lane
“Woke” and “Own the Libs” are two recent sound bites that get thrown around by the far right and quite honestly, I can’t really understand their tactics. Let’s take the term “Woke” and break that down. Most individuals, especially those on the far right, don’t even know how to define woke as the right muddles… Read More Woke
I’m not really known as a writer who engineers their stories with lesbian couples who have kids. Most of my main characters remain childless with a few exceptions. There’s a good reason for this. People often write what they know, and I’ve never had children of the two-legged variety. All my kids come with fur… Read More Kids and Family
I often absently scroll through Facebook and find numerous hilarious posts. Well…one this week definitely caught my eye, and I laughed so hard at not only the post but several clever responses. That got me to think about all the “hell” idioms out there that I definitely needed to add to the absolute hilarity of… Read More Oh Hell!
People who follow me know I often make up new words if I don’t believe a word exists for something I’m trying to explain or share with others. Thus my word to describe pretty much every book I’ve ever written is romash. Well, imagine my disappointment to learn that I did not makeup either Genre-Fluid… Read More Genre-Fluid of Genre-Bending
First, let me say…Happy Pride Month, and don’t let the assholes keep you from celebrating! Now…onto my topic for this week. A few months back, I came across this article (link: https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/800503.shtml) about a fruit that looks just like a woman’s breast, called the milk melon. Well, imagine my excitement about this, especially when I… Read More Breast Fruit
I came across a comment on Facebook the other day where a person was making note of how they did not like liars or individuals who make up fake stories (I’m paraphrasing here). Of course, it was the fake stories that toggled my teasing brain. So I had to respond with my brand of humor… Read More Professional Liars
I vacillated on what to write about today…going back and forth between podcasts and historical fiction. So in perfect Annette Mori fashion, like my romash novels, I’m combining the two and will do a quick blog on the history of podcasts. Full disclosure, don’t expect the exhaustive research that goes into historical fiction. Because let’s… Read More Podcasts
