Did I mention that I got a kindle for Christmas? I did! It’s a wifi-only kindle, and I don’t have wifi, but that’s not going to stop me. I’m looking to fill this baby up with downloads. Katiebabs sent out a call to action the other day for Anne Calhoun’s Liberating Lacey, a book that [...]

I made a pact to blog more but I haven’t followed through. Family stuff has been keeping me busy, as usual, dentist appts. and birthdays and soccer games and Halloween planning.

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 Lauren Dane’s Laid [...]

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 [...]
