FALLEN ASLEEP READING, OR CAN’T PUT A GOOD BOOK DOWN?

Posted by under ,

At the end of a long day, there is nothing better than climbing into bed with a wonderful novel to lull you off to sleep. It’s like going to bed with a best friend. Or maybe a favorite book boyfriend if you’re into reading romance novels. Some find this a relaxing habit. Others find it exhilarating and then fall into the trap of not being able to put the book down and end up reading all hours into the night. I’ve found myself in that trap more than once, and each time at some point I get so exhausted that...

JUGGLING WRITING, EDITS, PROMO, AND HOME.

Posted by under ,

The demands of life seem to get greater and greater, and the time to do it in seems to get a whole lot shorter.  I love my job, as I am always saying. Where else, can you spend so much of your life talking to and working with such talented creative people? It hardly feels like work, and yet trying to do all the things I need to do each day feels like a juggling act. I was chatting with a couple of our authors this week, and both said the same thing.  While we were talking, one likened it...

WHY CAN POETRY BE SUCH A TURN ON?

Posted by under ,

I love poetry as an art form and erotic poetry in particular.  Some are very soft and sensual, and some are just plain hot.  BVS has been looking at doing an anthology of erotic poetry for a while; I even wrote a couple of pieces for it.  I was looking at some of the other poems in the proposed today when I was in the office.  That sent me looking on the net for more poetic inspirations, and I came across this beautiful and sensual poem. Leo Christopher Erotica I made love to her on paper. and spilled ink like...

A NEW BOOK ON THE SHELF! YAY!

Posted by under , , , , , ,

I am delighted to let you know that The Brute and I by Suzanne Smith. The e-book is available now.  In the next few days, I will be chatting with Suzanne.  For now, I want to give you a sample of our latest book. Chapter One I turned the brass knob quickly, the nauseating fist of fear hitting me hard in the belly as I looked up and saw Marco standing on the other side of the bedroom door. He stood eerily still, close to the center of the doorway, not moving a muscle and not saying a word. His beautiful brown...

WHAT TICKS YOUR BOXES?

Posted by under ,

What do you need from a man?  What boxes does he need to tick?  Clean, good looking, good sense of humor, nice manners, kind, thoughtful, romantic, nice ass?  And do you use this checklist for the characters in your stories? Why not share your tick list with us. For me, I have always been more into people's personalities than the purely physical attraction, yet it is a factor, right? I have to say I do like tall partners and good looks for sure, but the ability to make me laugh trumps all. A couple of quick follow-ups to the 4th...

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Posted by under ,

I have a lot of American friends and colleagues.  A lot wish me a happy 4th of July.  It is a funny one as a Brit; it commemorates the war to separate from the UK, and as we didn’t win, it is not one we celebrate here. Lol.  But it was back in 1776, and I have never been one to bear a grudge.  July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from fireworks, parades, and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues. How will you be celebrating the 4th of July this year?...

THE AGONY OF CHOICE.

Posted by under ,

It is a plot device I have seen used a lot where the hero or heroine has a profound choice to make. “Sliding Doors”, was a movie that had the life-changing decision of the heroine making it onto a subway train, two scenarios take place. In one, she gets on the train and comes home to find her boyfriend, in bed with another woman. In the second, she misses the train and arrives after the woman has left. In the first scenario, Helen dumps the boyfriend, finds a new man and gradually her life improves. In the second, she becomes...
