How are Blond Men like Unicorns?
The book I'm working on right now has a blond hero.
Those of you who have read The Season will remember that my very first hero--the boy of my heart, Gavin, Lord Blackmoor--is a blond. And he's charming and funny and based, loosely, on a collection of boys who I grew up with (and one whom I married), who were all blondes.
But this time, I'm writing about a man. And he's golden-haired and beautiful and all man. But here's the thing: There aren't that many gorgeous, manly blonds out there...

Give to a Good Cause. Get Something Fab!
There are lots of cool things about being a romance novelist: publishing with a company you've been logo stalking for your whole life; becoming friends with romance novelists you've admired for ages (I'm looking at you Sophie Jordan); oh, yeah...writing books for a living...
But today I'm feeling particularly happy to be a part of a huge community of writers, agents, editors and others in romance who have come together to raise money for an important cause - Diabetes research. The incredible ...

Paranormal Check-In, Book 1 - JR Ward's Dark Lover
Last week, my sister guest blogged here on the nine paranormal romances she recommends for new paranormal readers. As part of the post, I committed to reading the recommended titles...and fully breaking into the paranormal genre. I started with Kiki's first recommendation: J.R. Ward's (shoutout to a fellow Smith College grad!)
Dark Lover
. Oh. Em. Gee.
Let's put it this way: I bought the book on Saturday, started it Sunday night and finished it Monday morning. Yes. I see now that J.R. Ward is...

Read More Romance - Part III (Paranormal)
I have a failing. I know, I know...it's hard to believe. But it's true. You see, I don't read much paranormal romance. In fact, it's fair to say that until recently (I'm looking at you, Pamela Palmer & Juliana Stone & Kerrelyn Sparks), I was a strictly non-paranormal romance reader. It's not that I was opposed to paranormals...it's that I was just busy hanging out in my historical and contemporary worlds. My sister, however, is a paranormal fan. I mean...WHOA. If there's a paranormal ...

Backordered? Sorry! Let me make it better!
Several people have emailed me today regarding Amazon & Borders listing Nine Rules... as backordered on their sites...thanks for bringing it to my attention! Here's what I know:Yes. Looks like they're backordered as of today...books have been shipped and they should be sent to those of you who placed orders in the next day or two (I'm guessing Monday counts as "two" considering it's Friday). In the meantime, you should be able to get the book in your nearest brick & mortar bookstore, or

Trivia from Copyedits...
I'm in the midst of copyedits on Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord (out October 26th!), and it occurred to me that you, Dear Readers, deserve a cookie. Because what's keeping me going as I slog through these manuscript pages are your fantastic emails and your wonderful, encouraging comments and your general existence, which is awesomesauce.
So...for those of you who are desperate for a little more information on Nick, I give you...
His full name.

In Which the Author's Mind is Boggled
What on earth?The love that started it all?
Uhm.
I will say this...Twilight fans are going to be in for a bit of a surprise when they discover that there are no Vampires *or* Werewolves in this book.
Thanks to my friend Saundra Mitchell for the photo. And for the "wha?"
