A friend sent me a link that has made me re-think my undergrad choice after all these years.  Yeah, sure, college has been over for….well, a long time.  And, yeah, I met my hubby in undergrad, so it’s kind of special.  But, I swear I would have paid more attention - gone to class even [...]

Yesterday’s contemporary romance Daily Top Ten at B&N looked a lot like my keeper author shelf (okay, keeper author room).  In addition to the authors who regularly appear - yeah, I’m talking about Nora Roberts who is on there every damn day, and Nicholas Sparks who I refuse to describe as a romance writer - [...]

I have an official title and official cover copy for my August ‘06 release, Viva Las Bad Boys! - yeah, that’s the title.  The books isn’t completely written ::ahem:: but it’s getting there.  Here’s the back cover copy (ie, what the book is supposed to be about when it’s done):
Welcome to Vegas’s hottest spot-the Berkley [...]

Publishers Lunch has a feature that lets us all know which books have been reviewed the most over the last few weeks.  Why do we need to know this, you ask?   No idea. Will my book ever be on this list?  Uh, no.  But, the information is interesting - or, at least it’s interesting to [...]

I’m a Susan Elizabeth Phillips fan.  Have been for a long time.  Absolutely loved Alex from Kiss An Angel.  The same Alex Publishers Weekly described as:  "… there is nothing funny in the mean-spirited and abusive hero."  Yeah, well, PW was just plain wrong on that one.  Alex was a brooding alpha male, not abusive.  [...]

I’m a fan of The Book List section of the magazine The Week.  Every week it features a writer and asks him or her to list those books the person views as the "Best Books."  Some of the book choices seem odd.  This week, the author choice seemed even odder.  This one is a guy [...]

Someone has written the definitive book on Nancy Drew - Girl Sleuth:  Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her.  This book purports to tell all the secrets.  You know, the stuff you never cared about when you were younger because you were too busy reading The Secret of the Old Clock or The Mystery [...]

If you stop by now and then you probably know Wendy (I would like to link to her blog but she doesn’t have one right now - that’s a hint, Wendy) and I run a review site, Paperback Reader.  We’re thrilled that Booksquare has agreed to join us. She’ll be stopping in every month.  If [...]

My hubby just finished The Sportswriter by Richard Ford.  After, he turned to me and described the book’s plot in 4 of the most uninteresting sentences ever uttered.  Bottom line is he didn’t like or dislike it.  Worse, he didn’t know what to think about it.  He didn’t understand the point of the book or [...]

USA Today has provided a list of upcoming releases you simply must read or at least must buy then pretend to read.  The latter is my plan.  The editors called these "notable" so by definition they are worthy of note.  The article is here. 
This one is my favorite - not because I think the [...]
