by Dani Collins – Back when I was writing Blame The Mistletoe, the prequel to His Blushing Bride, I made the heroine, Liz, a nail technician from California. I’ll tell you a secret about that idea: I stole it from my cousin. My cousin grew up in Canada, but married an American and moved to… Read More
The third book in my Huntress Moon series is out this week, and I thought I’d take a break from my usual posts and interviews about the crime and suspense aspects of the series and talk a little about the love story. (What???) Yes, I know. I may have written some paranormal mystery/romance, but nobody… Read More

by Megan Erickson – So I draft every book differently. I wish I had a set system because I think it would make things easier on myself, but alas, that is not the case. With CHANGING HIS GAME, I wrote the first three chapters basically blind. As in, I had no idea how the story… Read More
Starting over is hard no matter when you do it. For me, I moved around a lot growing up, and I tended to reinvent myself at each new school that I went to. One high school I was a rocker girl, one high school I was a cowgirl, and one high school I was a… Read More
The world stopped Thursday night for some, when Grey’s Anatomy killed off Patrick Dempsey’s character Derek Shepherd, aka McDreamy.
