Sorry I’ve been MIA!! I’m at the 2/3 point in my writing project and it’s climax time, baby. A race to the fast-and-furious finish. My plan is to complete the manuscript in August and do some heavy editing in September because this draft is rough. Updates may be spotty.
I’m also working [...]

The weather in San Diego has been cool and cloudy. June Gloom crept into July. I was in my brother’s pool on Sunday (it’s heated) and it started pouring rain! Then the sun came out yesterday and it felt like the first real day of summer.
Instead of reveling in the warm weather, [...]

I’ve probably mentioned that we love our home projects at Casa S. My husband is very handy with gardening, roofing, plumbing…you name it! This spring, we tore out the old weeds lawn, brought in truckloads of wood chips and mulch by wheelbarrow, and planted new grass seed. You can’t see it in [...]

Earlier this spring, there was a frenzy of DIY home projects in the typical Casa Sorenson style. I repainted the kitchen, living room, and hallway. In the midst of the madness, I moved the bookshelf and replaced all of my books willy-nilly.
Ever since then, it’s been chaos. In my living room, I’ve [...]

Congrats KT!!
Looking for more f/f love? Read my glowing guest review of Radclyffe’s Innocent Hearts at Loving Venus, Loving Mars.

Every so often, a book comes along that just blows me away. In 2009, it was Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games. This year, it’s Mind Games by Carolyn Crane. Both books have the word “game” in the title, interestingly enough. They also have the two strongest, most likeable heroines I’ve encountered–ever.
When [...]

Last week I talked about erotic romance, a subgenre I’m becoming more familiar with. A typical erotic romance has explicit language and frequent sex scenes between a loving, monogamous couple. Multiple partners and same-sex pairings are also common, however.

Although m/m/f (two men + female) isn’t my “thing,” I decided to try [...]

Every time Dear Author and Smart Bitches launch this campaign, I’m green with envy. I want to be saved! Save the sexy suspense!! Save the unknown author!!!
But I’m turning my frown upside down, because I love contemporary romance, and I’m so excited for Julie James. I met her at RWA San [...]

Erotic romance is sort of a new subgenre for me. Romantic suspense and Regency romance have been my favorites for years. Now that I write RS, and eat, sleep, dream it, etc., that genre is not what I reach for in my down time. I still like Regencies, but I’ve read hundreds of those. I’ve [...]

I won this book at Lurv a la Mode and LOVED it!! I’ve heard great things about Sarah Mayberry at Dear Author and on Twitter. This book did not disappoint. Sexy antics, wonderful characters, fast pace…and surprise angst! I cried, folks. More than once.

It’s official: I’ve been Mayberried.
