Friday Friend Cynthia Justlin
Today, I welcome my fellow Ruby-Slippered sister, Cynthia Justlin who just published her novel 'HER OWN BEST ENEMY'. I'm in the middle of reading this story and it is very
good. Please welcome her as she shares what she learned about writing romantic suspense from watching 'Romanicng The Stone'.
I write action adventure romantic suspense. A dangerous quest, insurmountable obstacles, lots of gunfire, explosions, and overwhelming raging hormones. It's my thing, and has been ever since I first...

Who Will Die In Six Weeks?
Cursor...
I woke up this morning and realized it's only six weeks until 'IN THE PRESENCE OF EVIL' is released by the Wild Rose Press on June 15, 2011. Like 'EVIL'S WITNESS' , the
idea for this story is based on an actual experience. Imagine my surprise and fear when I learned I was this close (holding my fingers up a fraction of an inch apart)to Russina Mafia connections. Seriously, I was nervous, but at the same time I was already plotting out this story.
Over the next weeks, I'm going to tell ...

Readers Speak
Cursor…
E-books are hopping hot! That's not new news. I have a kindle myself and love it. I also have several books out in e-format.
While surfing through some book sites, I wondered what drew readers in this new world to buy a book? It's not like they're in a bookstore, walking by the displays, scanning the shelves, and running their fingers over the spines. So, on a reader board, I asked the question. What draws you to a book?
I had a great response. Readers are great. Tell them you're an au...

1) Alana, welcome. Can you tell us a little about your story Secrets In The Sand, a blurp?
After a run of bad relationships, Lily Pearl Evans has finally become an independent woman, the owner of the Sassafras Social Club, a quiet ...

Mona Takes Us To Russia
Today, I'm so happy to welcome to my blog Mona Risk. I follow Mona often. She always leads me to the most interesting and beautiful places. It's no wonder her stories are wonderful. Please join me in welcoming her and help us celebrate her new release RX In Russian.
During the mid-nineties, I often traveled to Russia and Belarus for business and was quite impressed by the Russian culture and hospitality. As a frequent visitor to these exotic places, I collected pictures and notes and decided t...

Sharing What Matters
Lately, I've felt like a tiny dinky riding the waves of a hurricane. One moment I'm on top with clear view of the shore and then two blinks later I'm facing four walls of obligations. Well the other day something helped.
I was sitting in a doctor's office making a series of appointments for my dear husband. It was very busy, almost chaotic. The woman who was setting up his schedule (I'm going to refer to her as Tilly because I like the name and it fits her) was busy on the phone coordinating...

Not A Stitch
A good percentage of romance novels have scenes where the character's clothes are ripped off in a passionate rush. You've read them. You've pictured them in your mind. One shoe kicked off here. Another left behind there. Jackets and blouses tossed over the banister. Skirt and jeans left mid-stairway. A bra dangling from the hall sconce. Rumpled boxers and panties at the bedside. You get the picture.
As an author, how many times have you written in a fever toward the ultimate moment only t...

If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive, who would you pick?
I was asked this question recently in an interview and I choose an undercover female
agent. Okay, the picture isn't of a female, but the hard abs got your attention. Okay, back to the question. Why would I want to dine with a female? Because I love and write romantic suspense novels and one day I'll write a story with a spy as my heroine. I'd love to know how she really ticks, not just what I ...
