Book Ho!

by Madeline Iva

People, my mind is like:David

Yet another deadline looms. My editor is looking at her watch and then checking her email for my lasted revision to the WIP.

But a womancan only edit so many hours a day! Still slowly chewing my way through 8 seasons of Dr. Who at lunchtime, but meanwhile, I miss all the erotic romance reading I was doing last fall. Yes, like everyone else my Kindle is choc full of *stuff* but nothing that really calls to me. Just a long bunch of freebies offBook Bub.

Apparently, We’re All Just A Bunch Of Cheaters

By Elizabeth Shore

I’m trolling around the web the other day and came across an article that at first piqued my interest but then slowly devolved into making me pretty rootin’ tootin’ pissed off. So, please. Pull up a chair. I’ll tell you all about it and see what you think.

The article’s entitled, “18 kinds of women most likely to cheat on their mates.” Wow. Eighteen.Seems like an awful lot of categories, doesn’t it? How could a womannot fall into one or two (or more!) of them. Yowza. But be...

Sex, Love and Life without Limits

Whip-handling might be the easy part after all.

Whip-handling might be the easy part after all.

By Alexa Day

More than almost anything else, I fear being bored.

I’m still more afraid of pregnancy, but I know I can avoid pregnancy. Boredom has a way of sneaking up on a girl, often in the guise of contentment. Stability. Settling down.

Learned colleagues tipped me off to a 2014 Vanity Fair article about French dominatrix Catherine Robbe-Grillet. (Why am I always last to hear about things like this?) The story is a fascinating exploration of...

Impostor Syndrome: Do You Have It?

by Kiersten Hallie Krum

Last week, a Buzzfeed listicle made the social media rounds: 13 Charts That Will Make Total Sense to People With Imposter Syndrome. I lost track of how many writers and creative people I “know” (in the social media sense of “know”) who posted or reposted the link to this list, claiming one or more of the charts as hitting waaaaaaaay too close to home.

Impostor Syndromeis a disconnect between perceived and actual performance. People who suffer from it may have ample obj...

Pink Jimmy Choos and A New Kristen Ashley Series!

By Elizabeth SaFleur

Author KRISTEN ASHLEYcan’t write fast enough (pour moi). That’s saying something since she has published just under 50 books and 10 series, if I counted correctly. If you didn’t read KIERSTEN HALLIE KRUM’sode to Kristen’s work, you must. Then, consider yourself duly warned that once you turn that first page you will disappear into a pleasure hole of anti-heroes, kick ass chicks, bikers, witches, cowboys (and more), love and lust like you’ve never donebefore. This New York...

by Madeline Iva

Hello beloved readers — it’s been one of those days. I’m editing under deadline, I’ve got some kind of bug, and I feel like I’ve lost my outer skin. Talking to other people is especially painful. It’s like every sentence comingout of mymouth is wearingits own little ass-hat. My self-loathing quotient is sky-high.

Well, this too shall pass. Meanwhile, if you’re out there looking f...

The Curious Case Of All Those Dick Pics

Michelangelo's David in Florence TuscanyBy Elizabeth Shore

A friend of mine who was until recently in a committed relationship has sprouted her wings and joined Tinder. And my oh my, what a ride it’s been.

It’s a curious little app, Tinder. No time spent filling out boring lengthy profiles, trying to find the perfect balance of witty yet charming, sincere yet naughty. Pfft! Why bother? With Tinder it’s about the pic and only the pic. Slap up a few photos of yourself, or even link the Tinder app to your Facebook account. Then get re...

Naked City: Thoughts on Urban Romance

Is it just me, or does she seem to be mid-snap?

Is it just me, or does she seem to be mid-snap?

By Alexa Day

Two weeks ago,on The Toast, black author Brittany K. Allen described her feelings about urban romance and whether or not her writing has a place there. I was a little off balance when I finally discovered the post last week — the struggle to get by in a post-Bowie world has been difficult — but I had a tough time deciding how I felt about Allen’s take on the popular subgenre.

Maybe the trouble, for me, is right at the beginning of t...

Alan Rickman’s Romantic Legacy

by Kiersten Hallie Krum

We lost another great one last week, the third in the same week to cancer (FUCK CANCER!). Alan Rickman was only 69 when he died,but he packed those years full of some of the most notorious roles in film history–Hans Gruber, Severus Snape, and the Sheriff of Nottingham to name his most famous ones.

But along with being a stellar, generous, hilarious, giving human being (see Emma Thompson, Ian McKellen, and Daniel Radcliffe’s responses to his death for a taste) he also p...
