The Age of the Bromance

I have a confession. I love bromances. I don’t love the word, I think it’s stupid, but I do love deep relationships between two men, whether they’re brothers or partners or old friends. I don’t know why, really. I dig intensity, and I’m sure that’s part of it. You know the movie Blast from the [...]

Teaser: Upcoming cover reveal for Acceptable Risks

Hey, everybody! My next romantic adventure release, Acceptable Risks, is just a few months away on April 16, 2012. I just got the cover, and it might be my favorite Carina cover yet. You know how so often the characters on the cover don’t match the description? They nailed my heroine, Lark Madrassa! And they [...]

Some Change Can’t Be Imagined

One of the “cool” things about Twitter is that someone can tweet a link to something like this and launch a whole blog topic or even, if you guys are on board, a discussion. The gist of the article is that a couple of guys have created a new calendar for the whole world. It [...]

Oh, Hey, It’s My Turn!

I have totally lost track of the calendar! Every morning, I come to ENaLR to read and share the day’s post. Today, when I came, I saw this was my week. Then I realized it was also my DAY. Yikes! I could have sworn I posted last Tuesday! LOL That’s a problem with the holidays. [...]

Pen Pickiness

Last week, Gwen posted about office supplies, and we had a nice group session for all us of addicts. That make me think of my issues with pens, and I wondered if anyone shares my pickiness. Here are my general criteria for a good pen: 1. Not too fat. 2. Not too skinny. 3. No [...]

Taking a Peek Behind the Scenes

I love release day cheat posts. It’s really hard to come up with a topic when you’re in the midst of an umpty-billion blog tour. But I won’t just hit you with promo and leave. Here’s are the reasons why I wrote this book: 1. I love movies. I want to work on a movie [...]

Geographic Identity

We talked here recently about places we’ve lived, and characteristics of those regions. A lot of us have lived in many different places. But what’s your geographic identity? I was born in England, my father stationed there in the Air Force. But we moved back home, to Southwick, Massachusetts, when I was a year old. [...]

The Social Media Mindset

Twitter is changing how I do…everything. Okay, not everything. Not, like, laundry. But when my husband points out that our squatter is back, I immediately grab the camera. So I can tweet it. Being an author who uses social media, I’m always searching for things I can post. Which means I’m constantly assessing everything that [...]

All You Old Hairspray Users are Killing My Traditions

When I was a kid, we spent a lot of our summer at the beach. Mostly day trips, but in good years, we shared a cottage with friends and family for a whole week. We would leave super early and be one of the first ones on the beach. After swimming, lying on a blanket [...]

Reader Survey Results

I didn’t get a statistically significant number of results to my reader survey, but they were still interesting. (You can still participate! Click here to take the survey.) Respondents were evenly split in how many of my books they’ve read. They all gave the last book they read a 4 or 5. That’s nice, since [...]
