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 [...]

Alison Kent is one of my favorite authors. Her books are a compelling mix of sexy romance and tense adventure. I loved her work before I ever met her. And now I have the great fortune of counting her as a friend. So when I found out Kensington was re-releasing [...]

I don’t remember where I first saw Jennifer Stevenson’s covers. Somewhere… Well, now I have one of her books. The Brass Bed arrived at my house the other day. Since I already had a copy, I now have two copies. I haven’t read the book yet, but I was struck [...]

I received a copy of Mariah Stewart’s Mercy Street in the mail. It’s a hardcover. Her first hardcover release, I think. Stewart is one of those authors where I see her covers all the time and do the “I need to try her” thing. Then I forget because my short-term memory [...]

I recently read a book called STILL LIFE WITH HUSBAND by Lauren Fox. The back cover did not appeal to me, but I picked it up because Michiko Kakutani, the NYT reviewer known for what one might call nastiness, gave it a great review. The back cover goes like this:

Meet Emily Ross, thirty [...]

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. [...]

I had a WOW! cover experience over a book yesterday. The WOW! was not for a cover of mine. It’s for a book by Karen Kendall. The book is Take Me If You Can. It comes out in April, which is perfect because I have a book due March 15th and plan [...]
