That’s what I did and after one lot of rewrites with my fabulous editor,...

Six Sentence Sunday 2/26

Thanks for stopping by Off the Keyboard. Today I bring you six from my contemporary romance, After Midnight. His mouth curved into an irresistibly devastating grin, and everything female in her stood at attention. He strode the rest of the way to the bar, his every movement fluid and easy. Confident. Naturally sexy. His lean, rangy body was clad in snug jeans and a black tee. Jeans so worn and faded that only their seams gave hint to their original...

Delicious Anticipation

Today I would like to give a warm welcome to S.G. Rogers. Which is better…having your cake or eating it? Yes, of course that initial bite of delectable dessert is fabulous, but would it be as good without experiencing it with your other senses first? In tales of romance, it’s the conga line to the buffet that has us mesmerized. Like breadcrumbs strewn by Hansel and Gretel, we pour over the written words searching for clues. Does he have feelings...

Since I don’t want this to be just a promo spot, so, let’s talk about the crazy world in my head.

Review!

I just received a lovely review of AFTER MIDNIGHT from Harlie's Book Blog. Check it out: I am so in love with Sarah Grimm and her writing. She paces the story extremely well not dwelling on the emotional thoughts of Isabeau and Noah for too long. She makes you feel the story, not just the emotions of her characters. I felt like I was watching their love story from a booth at the bar. I didn't want to ever interrupt and just let the characters...

Writing is Like Trying on Clothes

Today I would like to give a warm welcome to Jenna McClure. In my either years of writing two books (hey, I’m a slow writer!), I’ve learned a few things along the way. One of the most important things is that I hate shopping. Huh? What do writing and shopping have in common, you ask? You’re probably thinking “no wonder you’ve only written two books, because you relate shopping and writing!” For most people, true, the two are not related, but it...
