Writing News

Monday, August 20th, 2007

Apparently JK Rowling is writing a detective novel…or so says this article.
Anne Rice is “committed to writing books for the Lord” and voting for Hillary Clinton.
And, sometimes real life truly is stranger than fiction or so the new novel Loving Frank by Nancy Horan would suggest. Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheney both [...]

MySpace: The Beginning

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

It’s time for a new feature. I think of this as the I’m-obsessed-with-covers-and-you-should-be-too feature. This came about while checking out my MySpace page this morning. Seemed I had several friends requests pending. And, yes, this is what happens when one does not check on the MySpace page for quite some time. [...]

We Like Funny

Friday, August 17th, 2007

I got this book in the mail yesterday. It’s called FORGET ABOUT IT by Caprice Crane. The publisher describes it like this:
Jordan Landau is having a bad life. At 25, she is average height and weight, super smart, and talented. But all that doesn’t keep her mother from calling her fat, [...]

Chicks And Ducks

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

I’m over at Access Romance talking about a recent article by Dalton Ross in Entertainment Weekly called Tough Gals Take Over TV.
Come say hello.

Sense of Humor

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

I thought these tidbits were funny.
This first one makes me think that the classroom education part of college could be more interesting if we re-wrote all the textbooks. I know a lot of guys who might have thought twice about skipping all those classes if they got to read this stuff. The site [...]

The Debate Goes On

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

In the event you are looking for a pro/con argument, I would point you to this article called Harm in reading romance novels? My view is that there are many harmful things out there for women. Reading choice is just not one of them. It is, however, on Shaunti Feldhahn’s list [...]

Hodgepodge

Monday, August 13th, 2007

I’ve been away from the internet for four days. My hubby surprised me with an early birthday present by bringing my dear friend here for a visit from Connecticut. He also arranged for us to spend a few days at a spa relaxing and otherwise engaging in sloth. His only rule was: [...]

Book Opportunity

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

A few weeks back I commented on seeing the book The Ultimatum by Dan Graziano. It’s a romance, written by a guy (obviously), and put out by Avon. I was intrigued. The basic plot goes like this: couple is going along just fine, or so the guy thinks, when the gal [...]

Famous!

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Okay, not really. But…YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY got a nice little write-up on E! Online yesterday. How cool is that? Loved this clever description:
Hot sex, light crime, an alpha-male, gun-toting hero and a wild card of a femme fatale—coupled with Dimon’s fine grasp of the unspoken nuances of body language—makes this [...]

A Bit Confused

Monday, August 6th, 2007

I just plucked the newest issue of Romantic Times out of my mailbox. As is my usual practice, I turned first to the list of Top Picks from each category. Just like to see what the RT reviewers think are the best in each group.
Then I got confused…
One of [...]
