Today’s author is a person who has been great to me. She designed my website, answers all of my dumb author and computer questions and gives me loads and loads of weekly support. And, she writes a hell of a book…
The spotlight author today is Alison Kent. Alison writes for, among others, [...]

Today’s author is bestseller Jaci Burton. Jaci writes paranormal action adventure, erotic romance and romance. A little bit of everything and something for all. Jaci is one of those authors I found online. I would see her here and there. Then her Demon Hunter series came out and I saw her [...]

One of the other authors on that writing panel I did at the Burbank B&N back in November (through Fronnie Lewis and her Cheers for Writers events - thanks Fronnie!) was Leigh Court. Leigh told a very moving story about why she decided to read and write romance. As a reporter she had [...]

Today’s spotlight author is one of my internet buddies, Sylvia Day. Sylvia sold to Kensington Brava (my publisher also) after being named the Reader’s Choice favorite in the Lori Foster Brava Novella Contest that year. Sylvia has sold about a billion books since then. I exaggerate…but not by much. What [...]

This is the final week of my deadline. You know what that means: limited internet usage…or, that’s the theory. To help with my addiction perfectly normal enjoyment of the internet, and in light of the holiday season, I’m going to launch a week-long giveaway. This is a way for you to [...]

I am over at the Brava Blog today talking about a review I saw in the January ‘08 issue of Romantic Times. The reviewer said:
Is it possible to dislike every character in a book? Yes, it is. There’s not one likable or redeemable character in this story. They’re all despicable people with no morals [...]

The holidays are a time for eating (too much), shopping, parties, family and…those Christmas letters. You know the ones. The “what’s happening in our family” letters that many include with holiday cards. If you love them or hate them, you have to admit that some are downright funny. Someone - specifically, [...]

I have found the perfect book for a few people I know. It’s a book about books…well, sort of. It’s How To Talk About Books You Haven’t Read by Pierre Bayard. Oh, come on. Who hasn’t pretended to read a book? Other than me, of course. I would never [...]
