Just as hammocks begin to call booklovers outside to read, with the pull that sirens once lured sailors to shore (thankfully with a happier ending), not one but two #1 New York Times bestselling authors unveil new series this month. Robyn Carr has set previous bestselling series in small towns in northern California and on… Read More
I can’t explain exactly how westerns and spring came to be linked in my mind, but suffice to say, the weather has to have something to do with it. Any self-respecting person who rides horses will tell you that summer — at least in Oklahoma and Texas — is way too hot and sweaty… Read More
by Coleen Kwan When I was growing up, most of the romance books I read featured heroines much younger than the hero. A gap of ten years or more seemed the norm, and heroines were often as young as eighteen or twenty-one. Nowadays, our reading tastes have evolved, and it’s not that uncommon for romances… Read More
by Lauren Linwood Writers are an odd group. We definitely march not to a drummer but traipse along with the voices rattling around in our heads. I walk five miles a day and get some of my best plotting done then—but I’m sure when joggers or bikers pass me, they have to wonder about me… Read More

There are plenty of bad marriages that beg for a bullet, but as you grow older and wiser you also come to realize that some great passionate marriages were not actually a mistake but rather done in by pride and stubbornness (sounds almost like an Austen title). Meant to be together in real life, or… Read More
By Joanne Rock I hesitate to get too personal sometimes. In blogging and in real life, I’m not one to share my private world with anyone unless I know them well. I tend to share the shined-up Joanne with most people, the “company version,” like a house that’s showroom ready for entertaining, with all the… Read More

The story is about Jules and Dexter, two kind-of-acquaintances who get stuck at the Las Vegas airport, have a biiiiiit too much to drink, then wake up married with no memory of… Read More
March may mean Spring Break if you’re a grade-schooler or NCAA brackets and playoffs if you’re a college basketball fan. But any good booklover will tell you that what the month of March is really about is good books and the authors who write them, together, in one place (ideally under a big tent), with… Read More
By T. M. Causey (Toni McGee Causey) One of the most dreaded questions a writer can field is the ‘Where do you get your ideas’ question, especially with regard to longer fiction. It’s the kind of query that has a million answers, and often the author has no real clue how they put this idea… Read More
Almost as if your favorite authors realize you’ve going a little cabin crazy waiting for Mother Nature to decide if winter is over and whether spring has finally sprung, they venture outside this month with a trio of romances set on the beach, by the lake, and in the mountains. Start your reading barefoot on… Read More

What was I thinking last month that I would get more writing time? I think that I celebrated too early… definitely.
