While I was gone, some folks published fabulous reviews of my new release, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. Here’s a little taste.

Hawaii Visiting

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

I’ve been quiet because I haven’t been here. For the last few days, I’ve been enjoying the sun and beauty of Hawaii. This trip was to Oahu to accompany my hubby on a business trip, to visit my in-laws and for general vacation fun. It also had a work purpose. I’m writing [...]

First, some news: YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY will be released as a mass market paperback in March 2009. I don’t have many details, but I’m pretty thrilled with that tidbit.

Ellroy And True Crime

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

Does anyone watch Murder By The Book on Tru TV (formerly Court TV)? Mystery/suspense writers introduce the true crime cases that intrigued them. The style of the show is much like 48 Hours with documentary footage and interviews, but with bestselling authors presenting the cases. The Kellermans, Lee Child, Harlan Coben [...]

Romance novels made the news again. Gawker posted a cover of Alison Kent’s new anthology Tex Appeal with the headline, A Festival Of Bodice-Ripping. Gawker got its news from Reuters. The Reuters article is, Mills & Boon: 30,000 Kisses And Steamier Than Ever.
One of the points of the Reuters article, as [...]

The Un-Valentine

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

I just read a story on the front page of the Wall Street Journal this morning about a 48 year-old woman who is in jail for helping a 27 year-old convict escape. First of all, the woman looks about 60, but that’s probably not relevant to the story. Her name is Toby [...]

Karen Kelley Contest

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Fellow Brava author Karen Kelley is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. She’s funny, a bit kooky and great fun. She’s also a talented writer. Her newest book is COSMIC SEX - and how is that for a title. As you can probably tell, this one is a bit…otherworldly. [...]

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

It’s Super Tuesday. That means it’s Presidential Primary voting day for many of you out there, including me. I usually don’t talk about political things on my blog, but go vote. Really. GO. VOTE.
This is one of my hot-button issues. Drives me nuts that people don’t take a few [...]
