Hi, Melissa: So wonderful you like the PPs! As to critique groups, have you considered joining a Paranormal romance group and going through their critique process? That's how I met some partners, although we don't do paranormal. Finding good match is hard. Stay positive and most of all, keep writing!

Hi, Deanette! Like you, most of us are avid readers. I always have two books going. lol. Maybe I am talented! And congratulations on working on a book with your fiancé. Keep us posted.

Hey Melissa I'm def PNR, just look at all my weirdness! LOL! What mythology do you draw from? It's good to have a CP who "gets" your work--and painful if she doesn't. I'm a werewolf, Jinn, angels, Jewish mythology gal.

Hi All,
My name is Sylvia McDaniel. I'm a best-selling Amazon author. I write both historical and contemporaries. I love being a part of the PP group. We have so much fun together and I can't wait for all of us to attend RomCon. If you're going to be there, be sure to look us up.

Okay WOW. I'm so behind!!

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the group and thank you for posting all your intros! I'm Michelle Miles, one of the PP gals who has been sorely lacking in posting here. Thank you, Liese, for setting up the thread!

I write fantasy, paranormal and contemporary romance. I'm published with Ellora's Cave and Samhain and some smaller houses. I'm currently trying my hand at self-pubbing a new sensual paranormal series called Guardians of Atlantis. I'm also writing a fantasy romance series for EC called Realm of Honor (all about knights, elves, fae, dragons and humans!).

When I'm not writing or reading, I love movies, cross-stitching, light gardening and watching hockey and baseball.

What are some of your favorite relaxing hobbies?

[Sharon]

Fishing in Florida, eating wherever I go! We are foodies and travel on our ample stomachs!

[Rayne]

Michelle, people, growing orchids, dinner with my husband. Reading of course. Writing depending on my mood.

You know I'm an avid needlepointer and play mah jongg.

I love playing the piano and reading. Also like games and wish I had enough money to travel all over the place. :)

I'm late to the party too! I'm also one of the PP gals who writes fantasy/paranormal. One series is with werewolves in the fictional town of London, Montana and the other series, Draconia Tales, is a fantasy with dragon shape-shifters.

Happy Reading to everyone!

Hello, Deanette and Melissa! Welcome!

[Rayne]

I've missed the newcomers. Sorry. Welcome to Deanette, Melissa and Karilyn. Nice to meet you.

[Liese]

Some of the Plotting Princesses attended RomCon 2013 in Colorado Springs. Several appeared in the photos that Barbara Vey shared on her Publishers' Weekly blog. Check it out at:

[Sharon]

How cool!!

[Rayne]

From the looks of it, you all had a great time.
Good for you.

[Liese]

We did (have fun)! It's really nice to connect with readers. Also, that's what readers told me--the best part was attending "intimate chats" with some of their favorite authors. Ms. Essex did a great job teaching us to play Crown and Anchor (a precursor to craps) at the Historical Games session.
