I love dark heroes. The moody, brooding, dark-haired, dark-eyed hero of the story. In SILK AND STEEL, Lucien Montaine, Marquess of Litchfield, is a man born into wealth and power, a man who has it all. Which often makes him foul-tempered, arrogant, and difficult. He is also a man with a deep sense of honor… Read More
By Sara Jane Stone Dresses like this lead to fantasy sex. I stared at the blinking cursor on my computer screen. I’d written precisely one line of the manuscript that would become To Tempt a SEAL. The first line, which is always important, but still I had seven words. And I knew this dress had… Read More
By Tricia Skinner Think of your favorite paranormal romance novel hero. He moves with the dangerous gait of a stalking panther. He gazes at you with eyes that promise deep and satisfying pleasure. Those full lips. That chiseled jaw line. And that long hair… Or does he have short hair? No hair? During the editing… Read More
by Boone Brux I had an ideal romance once. It was amazing, the things romance novels are made of, but it was very short lived, which was probably for the best. When I was twenty-something, my girlfriend and I traveled through Europe. While in England I met a guy—let’s call him Spike. Spike looked like… Read More
It’s that time of year when many of us are on the road or in the air headed to beloved or exotic locales. But whether you have a ticket to ride, or will spend summer in your own backyard, chances are a good book will be part of your vacation. And if books are part… Read More
by Bronwen Evans Waving from a very cold and wet New Zealand. It’s winter here and we have had what we call an unusual cold snap with loads of snow in the South Island. Definitely the kind of weather to stay tucked up inside writing! Or reading! Last week I braved the elements to be… Read More
As a reader and an author, I have to admit, I’m addicted to series romance. Not series, as in Harlequin’s category length books (although I’m admittedly pretty hooked on those) but series as in a number of stories that are connected to each other either by characters, setting or careers. In the case of my… Read More
by Kyra Davis When I decided to write from my male protagonist’s, Robert Dade, perspective in my short story, JUST ONCE MORE (a follow up to JUST ONE NIGHT), I was initially a little unsure of myself. How could I really know what goes on in men’s heads? Of course it didn’t take long for… Read More
by Lisa Renee Jones Hi everyone and thank you so much to Writerspace for having me on their blog today! As I get ready to release the third book in my Secret Life of Amy Bensen series, Forsaken, it has me revisiting how this series began. I remember very clearly, that I was hesitant about… Read More
by V.K. Sykes Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus You’ve heard it before. Cliché? You bet. But like most clichés it carries a grain of truth. I’m living proof of that because I’m the female half of the husband and wife writing team of V.K. Sykes. This gives me a very particular… Read More
by Christine Warner I have a confession to make. Are you ready? Lean in. I’ve always been a little jealous of other authors who share their play lists that they listened to when writing a book. I’m one of those writers who has to work in peace and quiet. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I love… Read More
On my recent trip to Rome to finish researching St. Cecilia’s life for my historical fiction novel, Virgin Martyr, I spent some time at the Temple of Vesta and the home of the ancient Roman Vestal Virgins. One of my purposes in writing this book was to investigate how attitudes about women’s sexuality and social… Read More
