SciFi Summer Romance Reads for Ripped Bodice Bookstore Summer BINGO

The Ripped Bodice Bookstore in SoCal and NYC is conducting their ninth annual Summer Romance Bingo. As in other years, I thought it would be fun to take their bingo card of categories, which you can view on their website and identify scifi romance titles that would satisfy the requirements for readers. I asked the members of The SciFi Romance Brigade on Facebook to recommend books and definitely allowed authors to recommend their own titles, although SFR Brigadiers are avid readers and also prov...

VS: Today I’m delighted to have my longtime author friend Elin Wyn as my guest, to talk about books and her new newsletter for finding scifi romance deals!

VS: What attracts you to sci-fi romance?

Sci-fi romance is the perfect blend of action, adventure, and steam. We can build any kind of world, dream up any kind of hero. From sweeping space operas to wild space fantasy, there’s no limit to what we can imagine. But the romance keeps it grounded. No matter how strange or far-flung the setting, ...

15 Romance Authors Tell Tales of Dryads

NOTE: This post first appeared in the Roswell Daily Record…

May reminds me of flowers and nature, which brought dryads to the forefront of my thoughts. I was surprised to learn that in Greek mythology they were nymphs primarily associated with oak trees. One dryad per tree. I think of them as being interested in all of nature. Either way, as you can guess, romance novelists have taken the dryad out of the forest so to speak and featured them in a wide range of tales the ancient Greeks wouldn’t h...
