Baby, It's Cold Outside

by Madelle Morgan




You may have heard about the tempest swirling around "Baby, It's Cold Outside," the famous Christmas season song?

The song was performed in the 1949 romantic comedy Neptune's Daughter, and won an Academy

Let the Magic Find You!

Happy Holidays to you and yours!  It’s that time of year again. A time to reflect.










For those of you who’ve been following me over the years, you
know that I always start off the new year by creating a vision board.  So, isn’t it fitting to end the year looking
back at the highs and lows of 2018? 



For me there were many.  But

2018 Was the Year of Overwhelm, 2019 Will Be The Year of Partners

2018 Was the Year of Overwhelm, 2019 Will Be The Year of Partners





In preparing the blog this year, I wondered
what I said last year and if any of my predictions came true. I know 2018 was
definitely the year of overwhelm for me. I hit the wall on technology, new
marketing ideas, and keeping up with my fans. Keeping up with that and still
getting out ebooks, print books, and audiobooks

Romantic Christmas Potpourri by Dora Bramden

Christmas, with all that decorating and cooking, is a time of year that sharpens my focus on the kind of person really I am. I can clutter the house with a hundred trinkets and make it as cozy as a cabin in the snowy mountains even though it’s summer in Australia. I love to have lots of things around me. More is more. But like a potpourri, I like it to have a cohesive thread. So when

The Perfect Santa

By Robin Weaver

I know I've posted this a couple times, but it's Christmas...
And this story is about my Gramps--one of my all time favorite people...


The Perfect Santa

 

I hadn’t seen him in
almost forty years but there he was, waving at me from the cover of a greeting card.  Perfection. 
He bore no hat on his bald head and his beard flowed fat and
fluffy.  A magical twinkle glimmered in

December Madness by Paty Jager

It's December. The month when I'm rushing around getting out Christmas cards to family, friends, and fans. Making sure I have gifts for family members and best friends. Decorating the house, the tree, and me. Making cookies and candies to give to neighbors and friends. And this year trying to write a book and get promotion rolling in January for a new series.

Now I'm tired! LOL I love this

This month Romancing the Genres blog is running a special series on "What's New in Publishing?" It would be far easier to answer what isn't new, because change is happening so fast. So, first, what is changing?
