Danger: Writer on Deadline

September 14, 2006• 11 Comments

Jamie Denton Icon

I’m in Deadline Hell. In our house, this is not merely a state of my mind, but it’s a physical fact of life.

Not that I’m complaining. I love having deadlines. It means that someone wants to publish the books I love to write. What I don’t like are life’s little …

From Wikipedia:

The term chick flick is slang, often derisive, for a movie that appeals mainly to women or young girls, either by design or in popular opinion. Chick flicks sometimes focus on romance or relationships. Sometimes they have many female characters and/or a female lead. Sometimes they are …

Donna Kauffman Icon

So…yes, the rumors are true. I watch reality tv. And like it. I also watch sports. A lot of sports. I like them, too. And it occurred to me that there are many parallels between the two. Both are games. Both are …

With a Little Help from My Friends

Amy Garvey Icon

Today is the fifth anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11. I know you don’t need me to remind you of that. For too many of us, someone we know personally was affected, and for all of us the senseless loss of life is something that will never be easy to …

Series Or Solo?

September 8, 2006• 30 Comments

HelenKay Dimon Icon

I’m a bit obsessed with the idea of series/connected books lately. Not Harlequin/Silhouette category books. I mean more along the lines of Alison Kent’s SG-5 series for Brava or J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

Despite the fact I’m not big on paranormal romance or tales of vampires, …

Watch Out For Falling Books

Jill Shalvis Icon

As I was climbing into bed the other night, I grabbed the book I’m currently reading. Nora’s latest, Morrigan’s Cross (which is so good it’s giving me a complex, but that’s another blog entry entirely). My husband saw the book and with a big sigh, grabbed his laptop …

Get out your #2 pencils…

September 5, 2006• 23 Comments

Amy Garvey Icon

Is it just me, or will September forever be back-to-school time? Even before I had kids, Labor Day weekend made me itchy to go buy notebooks and new pencils. (Now, of course, I buy them for the boys, but I usually manage to squeeze in a beand-new notebook for me, …

Or…what makes erotica erotica?

I was on this panel at the RT conference this year that was for erotica authors…and I don’t write erotica. Not that I have anything against it. I didn’t realize the panel was slanted that way until the panel started. Definitely one of those oh, crap …

Oh Those Bad Boys!

September 1, 2006• 35 Comments

The Bad Boys are a huge part of BRAVA. Soooo, exactly what is a bad boy?
I’ve read some books where they claim their hero is a bad boy but he’s just basically a jerk in too many ways to be a hero to anyone.

To me, a bad boy …
