Irena is in a paragraph where she realizes her attitude is making the other Guardians nervous, and she’s describing their reactions. Drifter’s is: Drifter had aimed for casual by hooking his thumbs into his suspenders, but he wouldn’t have aimed for anything if he didn’t think he might have to fire. Is it clear that […]
Scientists may have figured out one reason some people reach for the french fries instead of an apple. It could be a gene that’s been linked to an increased risk of obesity. Yahoo News Or maybe french fries just taste REALLY FREAKING GOOD?
Last month I gave away a lot of books — according to my records (the tags I put on all of my e-mails) I’ve sent them all out (except for one mass market version of Wild Thing). My recordkeeping is not all that awesome and my e-mail has been wacky, however, and I might not […]
Romance Novel TV is having a Virgin Heroes Week, with several posts already featuring Linnea Sinclair, Ward, Campbell, and others. I have a soft spot for virgin heroes, of course — especially the eight-hundred-year-old ones and the demons who deflower them. One of the interesting questions that came up was if the male de-virgining was […]
I spent half the day researching stuff for the steampunk books and half the day writing DEMON DAWN. I always feel guilty researching — like it’s not productive, even though, of course, it’s necessary. I’ve also deleted the new blog theme, because I couldn’t get the formatting to work correctly (or the comments). So, it’s […]
…here (tor.com). Who knows how long it’ll be up.
SCANDAL, by Carolyn Jewel. Ahem, and Carolyn — when are you going to update your site? :-p (Okay, okay, I know you are finishing up the next book … I’ll be patient.) Anyway, here’s an excerpt. Also, Kmont has a great post with upcoming paranormal/UF books, with pretty, pretty covers. It’s not comprehensive, but it […]
…this book (and I blame Dear Jane for mentioning it in one of her posts today and saying that she loved it. Anticipation isn’t as severe for a book when the buzz is sucky). Or this one: And if you go to Ilona’s blog and Name That Dog! you can win a copy of the […]
Installments of will be available at Bam’s blog, and each chapter posted individually on the author-of-that-chapter’s blog. The first will be at The Thrillionth Page (you should go there now, because CJ is putting up Romancelandia Gift Exchange cartoons, one featuring our very own Colin Ames-Beaumont. Funny stuff.)
I happened across this after clicking a link from the SB’s today — and realized it was perfect (and better than tattooing it on my ass). I might wear it to my next book signing. (Holly, don’t click.)
So today, I struggled mightily with a scene. It’s one of those scenes that need to be there (also known as the CHARACTERS EXPLAIN TO SOMEONE WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST BOOKS SO THAT THE READER CAN ALSO CATCH UP scene). In books like mine, there comes a point early where I have to […]
I’m in awe. There is so much crazy goodness in one image, I don’t know where to start; I love it in ways I can’t even describe to myself. Head on over to Megan Frampton’s and check it out. And I thought the The Italian Gourmet-Baby-Food Baron’s Ironically Pregnant Virgin Mistress‘s cover couldn’t be topped…but I was wrong. […]
A category pastiche by Tumperkin, Carolyn Jean, Ann Aguirre, Carrie Lofty, Bettie Sharpe, me, Kate Rothwell and Lorelie! It’ll begin later this month (complete with an amazing cover by Bettie) but here’s a first taste: the blurb! He needed children for an advertising campaign. . . All Cesar Machismo wants is to ensure the bambinos […]
Via CBR, Screen Rant has a first look at the upcoming Wolverine movie, and my favorite Cajun … Gambit. The picture isn’t as awesome as the character is, but I have hope for the movie. I believe there is one day left in the “I Know What a Scoundrel Wants!” contest. Head on over to Ann […]
I think everyone here knows about my love for category romance — and Harlequin Presents in particular. It used to be that Silhouette Desires ranked right up there, but it’s been harder and harder for me to get past the covers. I know, I know. With HPs, there are the titles, and those chick-in-the-nightgown or […]
