NO PLAYER REQUIRED by JoAnn Sky
My Best Ideas…. People often ask me how I come up with the idea for my story, or for specific scenes. Many times, they grow from real life experiences. An event occurs, and a specific moment from that event plants a seed. For example, my neighborhood is host to bands of wild horses every year;… Read More
Come Fly With Me
I don’t know about you, but one of the things I’ve missed most during the pandemic is traveling. Heck, even just getting into a car and going on a day trip. I’m lucky to live in a beautiful seaside community on Long Island Sound, so last summer wasn’t so bad with lots of swimming and… Read More
Jetting Around the World in the Pages of a Book
I grew up in a very small town in central Canada where it was winter for nine months of the year. And not Hallmark-movie-winter with delicate snow falling while characters sip hot drinks wrapped only in a thick sweater and a jaunty scarf. This was eyeballs-freeze-in-thirty-seconds winter. I don’t think I would have survived if… Read More
In Defense of the Nice Guy Hero
Romance readers love bad boy heroes, and I must admit I do, too. The wicked smile, the wicked sense of humor, the wicked ability to figure out exactly what makes the heroine tick and to use it for his own bad boy ends. His wickedness in bed. These are all swoon worthy. So, why can’t… Read More

Taming the Billionaire Hero
My favorite story of all time is Jane Eyre. I haven’t read the book since I was a teenager, but I’ve watched all the movies several times. Finally, as an adult I did some analysis of why the story line appeals to me so much, and it has to do with the fact that an… Read More

Best. Job. Ever.
I love my job. Every day I get to write about hunky heroes, swoon-worthy kisses and all kinds of other sexy things. One of my favourite bits of the whole process is getting a cover for one of my books. Even though I deal with words, I’m a really visual person (hence why I have… Read More
Adding Suspense to Romance
by J.K. Coi When I decided that Protecting His Assets was going to be a bodyguard story, of course that meant that there needed to be a reason why the hero would require a bodyguard, which meant adding an element of suspense and danger to an otherwise fun, lighthearted romance. I wanted to make sure… Read More
Jewelry fit for a Princess . . .or me!
Jewelry. Not just the costume stuff I love to buy at Charming Charlie’s but the kind that is behind bullet-proof glass and big, burley guards. Remember that scene in The Princess Diaries movie? Or in The Prince and Me? Oh yeah… cases and cases of sparkling jewels worth the price of a small nation. Le… Read More
Long-lost Reunions
by Elizabeth Otto I love a good reunion story. As a former Navy wife, who spent months upon months waiting for her spouse to return from deployment, I suppose this isn’t surprising. I’d count the days on a calendar, marking off each one until finally, six long months had passed and I’d be on the… Read More
