Lizzie Borden took an axe…or my hate-affair with the camera.

Blame it on Rebecca at Dirty Sexy Books.  She wrote a post about legitimate authors having legitimate photos, or head shots.

Stuck in the middle.

[image error]Science fiction and romance…can ever the twain meet?

One of my all-time favorite works of science fiction is Ringworld, by Larry Niven.  He creates a colorful cast of characters who set out on an epic journey to explore an anomaly, a ring-shaped, artificially created, giant planet containing an earth-like atmosphere and ecosphere.  The crew includes the giraffy guy…that's how I like to remember him, and the lucky guy – because in this story, luck is genetic.  Ringworld is my husband's very...

Monday Morning Cover Candy.

[image error]Since my house is a mess and my puppy is a handful, you get eye candy.

This is the new cover for my cowboy erotic romance, Anytime Darlin'.  Here's the teaser:

Devlin Barre lies near death, her family destroyed, her hopes for the future, dashed. Jake McKenna saves her life. Worried she's becoming dependent on him, Devlin runs off without a word. Years later, Jake and Devlin meet again. Has their deep connection...

True Blood – again…

[image error]Because I'm disappointed in Season Three of True Blood,

and the only person I know personally who watches it, or watched it, is my husband, (he quit the show after Episode Two this season) I've been checking around the blogosphere to see what others are saying.  Of course I can decide for myself what I think of the show, but I'm curious.

Many posters seem to feel that those viewers who have read the books by Charlaine Harris are disappointed in True Blood or just flat out don't like the...

Thanks, Mom.

Why I love my mother…

because even though she knows what I write and she will never read a word of it, she's proud of me because I'm a published author!  And that's the next best thing in a Jewish family to being a doctor, an orthodontist or a lawyer.

Despite the fact that we did not always get along, we do now.  At one point in time, she cursed me – she pointed a finger at me, saying – "May you have a daughter exactly like you."  Yeah, mom, got her.  Thanks…

Seriously, I was the teenager from h...

I saw him first!

Damn you sportscasters!  Damn you all to hell!  I saw Andres Torres first!  I picked him out last year as a baseball stud and I became a fangirl – now you all jump on my bandwagon!  Ha – I say – ha ha!  Really, ask my husband…the very first time I saw him play with the San Francisco Giants, I said, Who is that man and why doesn't he get more playing time? Like, why isn't he starting every game?  Of course he had some injuries last year, but anybody with half a brain could see what kind of...

All I can say is…wow!

A puppy, Daughters of Persephone and a nice book blogger!

Yes!  We got a puppy, Jake, a long-coated German shepherd puppy, 8 1/2 weeks, suffering from big puppy syndrome – the poor guy is so big for his age that people expect more of him than he's capable of delivering!  But he's sweet, smart and gorgeous!  Of course my cats won't come near him.  They're like…Crap!  Not another dog!  We thought we had the house and yard all to ourselves!

Daughters of Persephone is now available for Kindle and o...

Anny Cook is my guest today!

[image error]Anny is an author of erotic fantasy.  She just contracted for Book Six of her Mystic Valley Series, Blue Paradise.  We recently had the most interesting discussion…

Let's talk fantasy.

What attracts you to the genre?

I believe the thing that attracts me the most about the genre is the ability to create something totally new–the ability to create a mythos, a culture, a belief system, a new world (including flora and fauna). Think about how entranced people are with the new world created for...

Did I write that???
