But when the owner of DC Construction rides his chopper into her world two years after their one-time anonymous sexual encounter, everything turns u...

Waiting for baby

I’m 38 weeks pregnant and according to my doctor this little boy could come any day now. I’m definitely physically ready to be done with nine months of pregnancy, and I can’t wait to meet my new little one. I have that same itchy feeling I get toward the end of the revision process on a book. After spending so many weeks and months writing and then rewriting, I just want to be done with it so I can move on to something else. Of course, when the publisher’s edits come around in another several...

10 reasons I love NaNoWriMo

I’ve been singing the praises of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) since the first year I attempted it (2008!). If you’ve never heard of NaNoWriMo, go to their website and check it out (then join, add me as a buddy and write a 50,000 word novel in a month). Here are my top 10 reasons why November will always be about 1667 words a day.

Never delete. Ever. Every single word you write between November 1st and 30th counts toward your goal. Doesn’t matter if the words are in order. It’s all...

Spotlight on: Tara Andrews’s Her Everything

Tara Andrews has a new 1Night Stand erotic romance out, and I have to say I’m completely in love with the cover. What do you think?

But agreeing to switch places with her famous sister may spell the end of both of their careers. With rumors flying and an unexpected invitation from Madame Eve, Rachel hopes she can put the mistakes behind h...

Rock Hudson: Alpha or beta?

Romance writers talk a lot about alpha men and beta men. Alpha heroes tend to be manly men, Navy SEALs, firefighters, cops, werewolf pack leaders, billionaires, who are arrogant and possessive and who would be horribly unlikable except for the fact they they fall for the heroine, and fall hard. Beta heroes are quieter, maybe a teacher, entrepreneur, writer who doesn’t need to machismo to get a woman’s attention–his dreamy eyes (sometimes behind a pair of glasses) and sensitivity will do that...

Rest a little, write a little

To write or to rest? I’m faced with this eternal dilemma. My two-and-a-half-year-old started preschool a few weeks ago, which leaves me more time than I’ve ever had since he was born to spend as I like. A few months ago, I’d be salivating for that extra time to write. Now, though, I’m 34 weeks pregnant with another boy. The pregnancy is much more tiring (and painful) this time around, due to, and on top of, the physical nature of parenting an active preschooler. The other day I actually sat o...
