Sasha mentioned re-reading Karen Robards’ ONE SUMMER. This is one of my all-time favorite romances. Hero Johnny Harris is a felon out on parole and, well, let’s just say this book totally worked for me. Thought I’d go ahead and highlight it here in case anyone missed it.
He was pure, unadulterated [...]

I’m a big Marta Acosta fan. I love her writing voice. Completely fell for the vampire world she created in HAPPY HOUR AT CASA DRACULA. Awesome book. The trade version is a bargain book at B&N Online right now, so go pick it up or grab the mass market version for even [...]

I’ve been a fan of Lauren Baratz-Logsted ever since I read her book A Little Change of Face. I’ve followed Lauren’s career because, well, it’s sort of amazing. She writes across genres and age groups. Chick lit, YA, tween - you name it, she can write it. And she has all [...]

My friend Tod’s newest book came out this week. This one is different from his other books. It’s based on the awesome television show Burn Notice. Hence the title of Tod’s book…Burn Notice: The Fix. Clever, huh?

Go buy the book. In fact, buy a few copies for your friends. [...]

I’m a fan of romantic suspense author Penny McCall. She writes sexy adventure with a lot of humor, which is not easy. Her upcoming release is called ACE IS WILD. Don’t have it yet, but I plan to get it this weekend.
Here’s the copy:
When beautiful clairvoyant Vivienne Foster starts [...]

Did everyone else know that Brenda Jackson hit the NYT with a Kimani Romance? In getting caught up on my reading of Romantic Times, I saw this huge fact. Somehow I missed it before now.
And why, you ask, is this a big deal? First, category romance (Harlequin/Silhouette series books) rarely hit [...]

I was looking through those back pages of Romantic Times and saw the list of upcoming releases for October. One caught my eye. It’s DEFENSELESS by Celeste Marsella. Here’s the blurb:
They’re overworked, underpaid, and unstoppable: four young women in a big-city attorney general’s office. But when best friends Marianna, Laurie, Shannon, [...]

I met mystery/YA/nonfiction author Darlene Ryan online about a year ago (I think that’s about right…). She won a book in one of my contests. She and her hubby, Mr. Wonderful, did a joint review of the book. It was fabulous. Since then, they’ve done a few other joint reviews. [...]

Larissa Ione is one of my favorite people. She’s someone readers and fellow authors love. She is supportive, dedicated and extremely talented. And her story of loss and perseverance is just plain inspiring.
Me: Let’s talk a little about your background. When and how did you start writing?
Larissa: [...]

Soon after I moved to San Diego, I joined my local RWA chapter. One of the first people I met was Jill Sorenson. She’s a sweetheart. And, she’s super talented. Oh, don’t take my word for it. Ask the editors at Silhouette and Bantam Dell who recently snapped up her [...]
