Budweiser Shootout 2012 and a Giveway!
Last night was the 2012 Budweiser Shootout at Daytona International Speedway. It was fast and, well it was a bit furious.

Guest Author & Giveaway: Phoebe Conn
Those of you love historical romance will be familiar with the artist Pino's wonderfully sensuous covers. He sold romance with great artistic flair. My first Pino cover was for CAPTIVE HEART, a Viking tale with both heartfelt romance and high adventure. He painted a couple in a fiery embrace surrounded by orchids. Yes, orchids. It's [...]
Happy Valentine's Day!
How do you celebrate? Do you celebrate? I've been participating in a Valentine's Blog Hop for the last few days and it's been interesting to read the different responses. We don't generally celebrate in our house. It's just another day to us. As with most holidays though, we don't go out to dinner. I'll be [...]

A Cover Says it All The first thing that draws our eye is beauty. And beauty is everywhere; the color and texture to a painting, the sun setting in the horizon, a favorite actor or actress, and in simple things like the smile of a child or the sparkle of a diamond ring. Is it [...]
