Five of my Favorite Sites as an Author
As an author, I don’t necessarily interact a lot with the world at large. Oftentimes, we authors don’t even get out of our pajamas on a daily basis (*ahem* like today, she said with undue shame). But, there is a … Continue reading

How I Create my Heroes and Heroines.
One of the questions that I (and probably every other novelist) get is “How do you come up with your characters?” The answer varies. Some authors cop to having voices in their head, and they are just taking dictation. Some … Continue reading

I recently posted the cover art for my next book, If I Fall, and I think is utterly gorgeous. So do all of my friends, whom I proudly display it to on my phone, like a grandma with newborn grandchildren. … Continue reading

How My Books are Connected
One of the most common questions I get (other than, is my hair naturally curly, the answer to which can be found here) is “Are your books connected?” The short answer to which is Yes. But no. But yes. But … Continue reading

While the madness of RWA swirls around me – I am at this moment in the Atrium of the Marriot Marquis hotel in Times Square, surrounded by a couple thousand romance authors and enthusiasts – time waits for no woman, … Continue reading

Six Silly Questions with Jane Porter!
Jane Porter is the indubitably awesome queen of women’s fiction, having written such fantastic books as The Frog Prince, Flirting with Forty, and her latest, She’s Gone Country. Between writing fabulous novels and having them made into TV movies (starring Heather Locklear, no less), being a mother of boys and a surfer chick, she somehow scraped together the time to be the grand finale to The Summer of You Guest Blogging Extravaganza — please welcome, Jane Porter!

A conversation with Liza Palmer and Megan Crane!
Internationally bestselling Liza Palmer and USA Today bestseller Megan Crane were my first-ever writer friends. They let me tag along with their group when I didn’t know anybody at RWA 4 years ago, and when I moved from New York to California, it was right into the lion’s den and hanging out became a regular thing. (Liza even made me a “welcome to CA” CD. She’s old school.) We recently sat down in front of our computers and talked about snow, our love of Supernatural, and all things writing… Er, once we figured out how to open a group chat, that is. Continue reading

Six Silly Questions with Christie Ridgway!
Christie Ridgway is quite possibly, the nicest person I’ve ever met in my life. Being as we write for the same house (Berkley Sensation) and are repped by the same agency, she graciously took a shell-shocked newbie (me) under her wing and introduced me to everyone in the publishing world at my first RWA. Oh, and she writes a pretty awesome romance novel, too. Please join me in welcoming Christie Ridgway to The Summer of You

A Conversation with Sarah MacLean!
Sarah MacLean is *the* new voice is Historical Romance. Her first adult novels, Nine Rules to Break when Romancing a Rake, and Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord, burned up the bestseller lists and her next, Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke’s Heart, is poised to do the same come May. I met her when we both read at Lady Jane’s Salon, and found her to be as delightful as her writing. She graciously agreed to be a part of my The Summer of You Guest Blogging Extravaganza, and we spent a recent morning on iChat, writing in emoticons and making ourselves giggle. Continue reading
