Day 3 of my WWII Tour We started the day in the radar museum, located at the location of the main German radar station in Normandy. They sent intelligence to Berlin and to Hitler in Berchtesgaden. And by the way, they did pick up on the invasion but because the square mileage of the invasion […]
Nora's Musings
A Three Week Tale
I’m in the middle of a three week treck to visit historical sites, museums and more of WWII. One of my best friends and I have been planning this trip forever! I wanted to share some of the adventures with you, and if you’d like to see more photos you can join my reader group […]
The Fastest and Slowest Books I’ve Written
I write my books in a program called Scrivener, and one of the fun things is that it keeps statistics about how much you write each day. That means I can see from each of my books how long it took me to write them. Of course, that made me curious one day to see […]
Deleted Scenes: Yay or Nay?
Before there was Netflix (I know, I’m old, haha), I used to binge-watch a lot of TV series and would have to wait eagerly for the DVD boxes to come out. Two elements were always my favorite: the blooper reel and the deleted scenes. The first was laugh-out-loud funny, of course, but the second was […]
Why So Many Open Series at the Same Time?
But Nora, why are you starting a new series when you haven’t finished the No Regrets series yet? I’ve been asked this question and variations on it a number of times lately, and so I thought I’d explain a bit to you about how my release planning works. 1. Characters Need to Talk This is […]

ShiMMer 2019
I just wanted to give a quick impression of ShiMMer 2019, the fabulous MM romance event I attended in Birmingham, UK last weekend. It was an absolute success for me, and I’ll definitely be back next time. Bringing swag is always a bit of a hassle and challenge when you’re flying in, so a big […]
Tips and Best Practices for Book Reviewing
Today, I want to talk about something a little different. It’s a little risky, this topic of leaving reviews for books, because authors talking about reviews is a gray area. So let me start off by saying that this was at the request of one of my readers, not of my own initiative. And second, […]
A Super Short Introduction Into Mpreg
Since my upcoming MMMM gay romance Alpha’s Sacrifice will be an mpreg romance, I figured I’d give a little introduction into this topic, since not everyone will be familiar with it.
The Story Behind The Time of My Life
I’ve been sharing how I developed the ideas for my books, because readers often ask: “Where do you get all the ideas for stories?” Today, I’ll be talking a little about The Time of My Life, my next gay romance that will be released soon. I actually wrote The Time of my Life before I […]
Where Do You Get All The Ideas For Stories? (No Shame Series)
I think this is the question fiction writers get asked most often: “Where do you get all the ideas for stories?” My answer is usually a very short, but unhelpful: “Everywhere.” It is true, though. I do get ideas from stories from everything and everywhere…
7 Unique Struggles Authors Face
I’m not the type to complain, but in this post, I thought I’d share some unique struggles authors face. Seriously, there needs to be a self-help book on this…or some kind of support system. The struggle is real, people, I’m telling you. 1. Deleting Words Part of being an author is self-editing and that means […]
