The Thrill of Historical Thrillers

illuminatedThank you so much to Cynthia for inviting me to guest blog on her fabulous site. We 'met' online a couple of years ago and she's one amazing lady. I'm looking forward to meeting her in person at the RWA National conference next month.

I'm a writer who recently signed a contract with Simon & Schuster's Gallery Books imprint for two manuscripts, for which I unfortunately don't yet have covers. My debut historical thriller with strong romantic elements, ILLUMINATIONS, is due out in Spring 2011. ...

The Special Ops Heroes of My Military Romantic Suspense Series

A big thanks to Cynthia for having me here today! I'm Kaylea Cross, and I write military romantic suspense featuring yummy alpha male heroes. I love researching their military training, and I love putting them in dangerous situations. What makes them yummy? Well, they're all hot, for one thing. But they also ooze the kind of masculine confidence guaranteed to make a woman's toes curl in her shoes. Whatever the situation confronting them, they'll handle it. No matter what. And when a man like ...

Energy = Desire + Purpose

By: Marie Force

Thanks so much for having me today, Cynthia!

Yesterday I received the following words of wisdom in a fortune cookie: Energy is equal to desire and purpose. I loved this. It totally sums up my life right now. I work full time—from home, but full time nonetheless. I'm the communications director for a national membership organization similar to RWA, but we work in the accounting field. With our annual meeting bearing down on us, we're busier than ever. So of course that's the...

Dark, Deadly Love: Welcome to Victorian London 1888

Available July 13 at Samhain Publishing www.samhainpublishing.com

Available July 13 at Samhain Publishing www.samhainpublishing.com

Thanks so much to Cynthia Eden for inviting me to blog here.

As a writer I'm always thinking of new ideas. And I mean always. I have so many ideas for what to write next, my muse insists that I jot something down whether it be a blurb, a paragraph, a chapter, you name it. With DARK, DEADLY LOVE, my July 13 release at Samhain Publishing www.samhainpublishing.com, the story evolved over a very long time. Perhaps from the time I...

Summer Plans (and giveaway!)

edie Thanks to Cynthia for inviting me to her blog!  I had another blog written for today, but on Saturday I read Shelli Stevens' guest blog for Cynthia.  At the end of Shelli's blog, she said to leave a comment with what summer plans we're most excited about.  In that second, I knew I had to scrap my other blog and instead talk about that I'm doing.  Because I have FREAKIN' HUGE SUMMER PLANS!  I'm turning indie!  I'm publishing my  e-book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords.  It's a...

Release Day! I'LL BE SLAYING YOU is available now!

I'LL BE SLAYING YOU is available now! The second book in my Night Watch series is in stores today!! Go, Dee!!

Cynthia Eden returns to the realm of the Other, where the supernatural bounty hunters of Night Watch work hard and play harder…

Sandra "Dee" Daniels is a vampire's worst nightmare. Sure, she couldn't get up to five-six in the highest heels money can buy—not that she ever wears heels. But the monsters in her past and the stake in her boot are enough to keep most bloodsuckers interested...

Gotta Love Those Series

My name is Lauren Dane and I admit it, I love series. Reading and writing them.

Lucky for me, my readers love them too so I get to write more of them. I love to write a series of books with the characters' connection to one another as the uniting theme. My Chase Brothers for instance, or the spin off series from my Cascadia Wolves, de La Vega Cats.

Cascadia Wolves was my first series featuring shifters as main characters. I love the Warden family and their mates and I had a great deal of fun...
