| Ruby Nickname: | Ruby Wench | | Biography: |  Born and raised in the great state of Texas just outside of Houston, I grew up with wide open spaces and free reign to express myself. Always a “good girl”, I had a penchant for trouble. With that comes plenty of entertaining tales and a brassy attitude.
After high school. I received a degree in Music & Video Business. Locally, I managed rock bands, booked clubs, wrote reviews for a music rag, ran lights and video for a cable show, and worked promotions for various organizations. Meantime, I carried on a real (i.e. “paying”) job. I gave my lifeblood in the aftermarket car industry for 10 years conducting every aspect of customer service and logistics known to man.
A husband, daughter, 3 cats and 2 tattoos later, I went back to school – a career student, of sorts, earning another degree. Somewhere in my pursuit of a Masters in history, I took a creative writing course. It was a thrill to write and share my stories, which often were darker than a cemetery at midnight. My professor suggested I pursue writing a novel. I don’t imagine he meant for me to quit school, but I did just that.
I seriously began writing in January 2007, finishing my first manuscript 7 months later titled UPON A MOONLIT SEA. After editing, revising and hitting the contest circuit, MOONLIT has enjoyed success in several RWA contests, including the 2009 Golden Heart. Currently, I'm writing a series of swashbuckling adventures complete with Alpha heros, spunky heroines, unscrupulous villians, high seas action and wicked fun. | | Hometown: | Spring, Texas | | Age: | Nunya | | GH Year(s) | 2009 | | Completed Manuscript(s) | Upon A Moonlit Sea; A Kiss in the Wind | | Genre(s): | Historical, Paranormal | | Started Writing: | January 2007 | | Day Job: | Domestic Goddess | | Website: | http://www.jbrayweber.com | | Blog: | http://musetracks.wordpress.com/ | | Facebook: | Jennifer Bray-Weber | | MySpace: | http://www.myspace.com/jennifer_bray_weber |

The Power of Music – Rock on, Sistas!

Do you listen to music while you write? It is my opinion that music is a great way to set the stage either before or during a writing session. It pumps up the volume to your creative talent. Heck, music can be used after a writing session like a victory lap. Think Chariots of Fire.

This is a post originally ran on MuseTracks last year. But with the freaky winter weather as of late, my lack of creative brilliance and a burning desire to build an altar to the sun gods, I felt it appropriate to run it again.

Judging the Golden Heart – 101

Filed in: Golden Heart, Uncategorized, blog |
Ah – Judges.
Those faceless souls we entrust our babies to. The nameless that give nary a thought to how much blood, sweat, and tears that our pride and joy has put us through. Or so at times we believe. With punishing red pens and thunderous keystrokes, they slice, dice and butcher us to the bones. [...]
