When Love Moves You

By Elizabeth Shore

You may remember a post I wrote several months ago about searching for love in the digital age. Itwas inspired by a friend of mine who’s in the throes of a serious long-distance relationship. She and her guy met online, they “dated” online, they even fell in love online – all without ever having actually met one another in person. They live really far apart – on separate continents – so airline tickets are über expensive and cash is tight for both of them. This situation wen...

The Lingerie Question: Short? Kinky? Elegant? Nothing?

By Liz Everly

One of the events were are trying to schedule for the launch of LADY SMUT’S BOOK OF DARK DESIRES is a party at a Derriere de soie, a lingerie shop in Charlottesville, Va. How delicious does this store look?

I say “trying” because we don’t really have a firm publication date—we know the release date is in August, but that’s about it. But while we are waiting for launch party plans to firm up, (now it looks like it will be Sept. 10), I starting thinking about lingerie and how much...

Tapped Out

by Kiersten Hallie Krum

I am tapped out this week. Between busy day job shenanigans during the week and BFD—Big Family Drama—on the weekend, I’ve been basically sitting in a chair all Sunday in a stupor, moving only to refill my glass and re-position the cats.

There are a lot of people in Romancelandia tapped out tonight thanks to the RT Booklovers Convention in New Orleans that ran all last week. Despite my best (or perhaps worst considering the host city)intentions, I was unable to attend and...

We Have the Technology, All Right: Consider the Possibility of Robot Sex

Okay, our robotic sex partners won’t be as hot as Yul Brynner’s Gunslinger. Probably not as dangerous, either.

By Alexa Day

A recent study indicates that one in six people would be willing to have sex with a robot. I’m kind of surprised that the number is so low. I think most of us know at least one person who would jump at the chance to have sex with a robot. You probably know more than one if you’re counting me. After all, it was just a little while ago that I wanted us all to think seriously...

Hello Sexy! Happy Saturday! Time to kick back and do some blog reading. We’ve been scouring the Internets just for you.

I met CJ Lyons last year and she’s awe-some. Here’s a post that talks about her as entrepreneur.

Interesting blog here, which I will now be watching. This post on “Mommy Porn” totally rocks.

Bad Girl Friday Jukebox

by C. Margery Kempe

Okay, so sometimes I just have a bad attitude. I find it hard to write romance at times like that so it’s just as well I write noir crime and horror as well because it’s a lot easier to channel that. Although there’s something to be said for the ‘good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere!’ vibe (as one of my publishers put it).

I do have bad girl heroines like Shai in the firstManCityvolume. She’s a very naughty gal but she knows what she wants — and because she deman...

Blast From the Past: WORLD WITHOUT MEN

By Madeline Iva

Hey Gals n Guys — got a deadline this week. Here’s a blast from the past — enjoy!

Madeline here! Wanted to share with you all this whacky pulp novel cover to the pulp sci-fi novel WORLD WITHOUT MEN by Charles Eric Maine. 5,000 years in the future women live without men, while the government desperately tries to create one. Then a scientist actually recovers one from the ice age–and all hell breaks loose!

What I tickles me about this cover, aside from it’s delicious sense of drama...

The Taboo Of Lady Parts: Hair Down There

By Elizabeth Shore

So I’m thumbing through the latest issue ofInStyle magazine the other day when I spot an interview with Cameron Diaz who’s talking about – of all things – pubic hair. Egad! I gotta admit, however, that she’s pretty passionate on the topic, stating that it’s a conversation we gals should have. “It’s the taboo of lady parts!” she exclaims, backing up her statement with what she’s written in her health/wellness bestseller, The Body Book. Shewrites,“I think permanent hair remov...

Lusting after “Vincent”

By Liz Everly

Yesterday was not just any Monday. I was in a Twitter conversation with Tiffany Reisz (yes THAT one) and Sarah Wendell (YEP) about the TV show “Beauty and the Beast”—which left us all swooning. Turns out we all loved the show. Do you remember it?

It was about “the adventures and romance of a sensitive and cultured lion-man and a crusading assistant district attorney in Manhattan, New York City,” according to IMDB. And it’s that lion-man that had us all breathless over our Twitter...

The Library You’re Looking For

by Kiersten Hallie Krum

I have a complicated relationship with librarians. When I was akid, we did not get along. I never understood the contradiction of a Free Public Library that charged fees if you were late returning books. I also didn’t like people being able to tell me which books I could and could not take out a given moment. But then, I’ve never done well with people being able to tell me what I could and could not do about anything.

But as an academic and a lover of books, I adore libr...
