Last week in my accountability group’s HOW I WRITE series, we talked about 3 Things I Love About My WIP. This week we’re talking about why we write in a particular genre and what attracted us to it. Also, we were asked if we like to read any genres we don’t or can’t write? Why? And…
Last week, our How I Write series laid out our writer’s toolkit and resources. This week we were asked, “Which books that you’ve read this year would you put into a time capsule for 2011?” It’s funny how you can almost tell who picked the questions each week by how whimsical or practical they are….
This week my accountability group is blogging about what our bookshelves are like and which authors have influenced us. Last week’s post on Hobbies is also part of our How I Write series. My husband and I are bona fide bibliophiles. Movers hate us because we have so many books. We just lost a large…
I answered “why romance” a few years ago on my blog — why read romance, why write romance. But I don’t think I ever got into why historical romance or even why set during the Regency specifically. I recently joined RWA (Romance Writers of America) and two chapters: my local in-person chapter here in San…
On Sunday, I dragged my kids with me down to El Cajon to the Romance World bookstore.

After attending the Janet Evanovich event here at Borders, I was…
I haven’t done this before but I can’t keep quiet about this one. Jodi’s book just came out over at The Wild Rose Press and I’ve been waiting for this one. Now, I haven’t finished it yet, so this isn’t a full-fledged review. However, lemme tell ya, I’m lovin’ what I’ve read so far! I’ll…
I was first turned on to Janet Evanovich and the Stephanie Plum series a few years ago by the wife of DH’s boss at the time. I went through them like candy. The only problem is now that I’m caught up, waiting for the paperbacks to come out a year after the hardbacks are released…
Suzanne Enoch has become one of my favorite authors. I forget where I first stumbled across one of her books. It was likely recommended by Amazon as something I’d like because of reading authors like Julia Quinn. I went through her available books still in print and then went and specially ordered a couple because…
Yesterday, DH needed to visit a bookstore to prepare for an overseas flight. This might sound strange to some folks, but he’s a voracious reader. He has been known to finish a 300 page book on an hour and a half flight. My other errands finished, I met up him at the bookstore. I didn’t…
