Music Monday

I don’t know about y’all, but sometimes I just need to listen to something different to get myself into a whole new headspace. I’m not very good with a lot of the popular music today cause it just…well, sucks. Of course, that’s my opinion and mine alone. You may love it and that’s awesome for […]

Snippet Saturday – Smooth Operator

Kindle Smooth operators.We’ve all known them, right? They deliver smooth lines, quick with compliments, and in general give you the willies. They make your spine feel as though a snake is slithering and you can’t wait to get away. The Sade song, Smooth Operator, comes to mind when you see the words. At least for […]

Guest Post – Chandra Ryan

One of my favorite people in this business is author Chandra Ryan. I met her at Lori Foster’s Reader Author Get Together a couple of years ago. She’s one of the most genuine, kind, gracious, and delightful women I know. (Her husband, he’s pretty amazing and awesome too). If you’ve never checked her out, you […]

Music Monday – Don’t Forget Me

Today’s Music Monday post is not going to be very inspirational. Cute, maybe. Downright roll your eyes 80′s pop, definitely. This week is Authors After Dark in Savannah and I’m not going to be there. I’m going to be down and depressed so y’all should just brace yourselves now. If you’re going to AAD, I […]

Snippet Saturday – Can’t Fight This Feeling (Friends to Lovers)

Friends to lovers. This is one of those snippets that won’t be too difficult to come up with. I have a few books with the friends to lovers theme. Different types of friends create different types of lovers. Sometimes it’s easy and just falls right into place. Sometimes it takes a little more work to [...]

Snippet Saturday – Ain’t Over Til It’s Over

Sometimes it’s over but we still hang on. Sometimes it’s over and the other one still hangs on. Sometimes it’s over but you simply can’t move on. And sometimes it’s over and you just want to forget it ever happened at all. Relationships. Friendships. Jobs. Books. Movies. Sometimes we don’t want it to be over, [...]

Music Monday – When They Made It Seem Easy

This blog post stems from a conversation I had with a friend the other day. We’re in our 40′s now which means we were teenagers in the 80′s. Music was loud and fun and in some ways very suggestive and in other ways very blatant in the meaning and message. Love meant sex in songs. [...]

Snippet Saturday – Author’s Choice

I love Author’s Choice. I can give you a snippet from any book at all and it doesn’t have to fit a particular theme. Makes it so much easier sometimes. So, let’s see… What do you want to read a snippet from? Something old or something new? How about something new. So new in fact [...]

Birthday Bash for Leah Braemel

Do y’all know Leah? She writes cowboy hotties! She writes a little kink too… And she’s forever clad in boots and a white cowboy hat. How do I know this? I’ve met her and she’s awesome. She’s one of the most down to earth authors I’ve met in the few years I’ve been in this [...]

Guest Post: Kay Jaybee

Lyrical Inspiration By Kay Jaybee The question I’m most frequently asked as a writer of erotica is, ‘Where do you get your ideas from?’ The truth is that my creative processes can be sparked off by literally anything; overheard conversations, pictures, locations, even aromas. Another influence has to be music. Or to be more specific; [...]
