A Thrilling Experience
by M. L. Buchman
I just finished the post-first-reader draft of my first-ever techno-thriller (and if I could squeeze more hyphens into that sentences...). I found the experience to be...educational to say the least.
I've written thrillers before. My Dead Chef foodie-thriller series follows television's top chefs as they are hunted and killed on air. These light-hearted romps all have

Wedding Day Disasters by Sarah Raplee
The potential for disasters to occur at important events like weddings is almost limitless. I like to collect ideas to add drama, tragedy, humor, miracles or magic to wedding scenes.
Using weather-related disasters is a time-honored tradition based on real-life events. For example, I missed my real college graduation in Texas because of a tornado. Depending on where your

Mountain Man and the Corporate Girl Got Hitched
by Courtney Pierce
The two-year anniversary of my re-marriage is approaching
like a shooting star. Where has the time gone? The journey started out with
two damaged souls who found each other on a forever-trek toward healing. There’s
something wonderful about bonding with a new mate who has an equally beat-up set of
emotional luggage as mine. Neither one
of us expected flawless, but we both

The Fascinating 1920's with Lauri Robinson
The Roaring Twenties was a
fascinating time for America. A time of great change around the world.
Economies were thriving, cities were booming, and industries were blossoming.
Cars: People from coast to
coast had access to the same merchandise thanks to chain stores, and new
transportation opportunities allowed long distance traveling. Ford vowed to
build a car that all Americans could afford—

An Out Of This World Wedding #scifi #romance
Hi, I'm Pippa Jay, author of sci-fi and supernatural stories to engage your emotions. Despite writing several romances, only one features an actual wedding. My debut novel (which by strange coincidence released one day before my own wedding anniversary) sees the out of this world joining of my two main characters on a tropical island far removed in space and time from either of their points of

Tale Of The Travelling Wedding Dresses
This month's topic of Wedding Tales is so timely ! No, not because I'm getting married (again). I'm not. But because the current theme for a writing challenge I'm involved with is Wedding Dress so my mind has already been on all things white and lacy.
My own wedding dress was made by my mum, so held an extra special place in my heart. She was a dressmaker and I didn't even own a 'bought'

Get Me to the Wedding by Delsora Lowe
As a romance writer and reader, who doesn’t love weddings?
And June is synonymous with the premier wedding month.
Although, I have to say, I vowed never to get married in June. Fall is my
favorite month, and I planned that someday I would marry in September or
October. My wedding date was June 5.

Chicken Soup For Your Taste Buds by Kristin Wallace
I must have food on the brain. Earlier this month we celebrated #NationalDoughnutDay. Coincidentally, a "artisan" doughnut shop opened within walking distance of my place. They make all these amazing flavors like chocolate mousse (pictured here), plus white chocolate, dulce de leche, cookies & cream, and key lime pie, among others. Is it a conspiracy to get me to eat more doughnuts? Maybe!

Revisiting World War I with Aussie Author, Margaret Tanner
Hello everyone, Margaret Tanner here. It is lovely to be invited back
here by Judith and Sarah to celebrate RTG’s 20th Century Historical
Romance.
Some of the momentous events in our history occurred in the 20th
century including the 1st and 2nd World Wars. As I have
novels set during WW1 or the Great War as it was known, I thought I would tell
you something about my research and family

Words of Encouragement
by Diana McCollum
I am going off this month’s topic weddings and blog about affirmations.
We all have them whether ones we made up and say to ourselves. Or special ones we've found on line or in a book we've read etc.
I find mantras or affirmations helpful especially when going through a tough situation.
