Possessive Characters In A Romance

Posted by under , , , , , , ,

Possessive Characters In A Romance  By Callie Carmen As a romance writer and reader, occasionally I come across possessive characters. At first, they may seem charming, but often they turn into the type that smothers their partner. I read an article recently titled, “7 Signs Your Partner Is Possessive & What Experts Say To Do About It” by Carolyn Steber. The article got me thinking about my past and present relationships with men and about the characters in my Risking Love series published with BVS. Going through the seven steps I realized that I had dated someone that was very possessive...

NEW OUT! HARD HITTING EROTIC THRILLER!

Posted by under , , , , , , , ,

Clickhere or click on the picture I thought this story was captivating, found it so hard to put down. It is Piper’s first book, and I look forward to the further tales in this series. Let me tell you a bit about the story. Detective Wes Ellis’ life consisted of mixing kink and pleasure, even where his job was concerned. That is until the death of a young Jane Doe rocked the core of the BDSM community. Her untimely demise becomes Wes’s new case. Was it a kink scene gone horribly wrong, or was there a serial killer on the streets...

DEVELOP AND PROMOTE YOUR STORIES.

Posted by under ,

Working with people to develop and promote your stories. I have always felt that working with people makes our businesses stronger. Brings to mind the old adage it is harder to break a bundle of twigs.  I also believe that things happen for a reason.  We meet people at different times in our lives and we just click.  I have been very fortunate over the years to meet some very interesting people. Let me introduce Tamara Kerr (The Reading Mermaid), she is a reviewer and book promoter. I would like to share part of our chat, that we had this...

FATHER’S DAY THOUGHTS FOR YOU

Posted by under ,

Father’s Day thoughts for you.  These days it is rather bittersweet for me, we mark the day, but it is slightly different when we lose a parent.  I think in a funny way it is more important to mark the day. As much as we don’t mean to I think we can take our parents for granted, they are there, like the weather, and we assume they will always be there with us.  We don’t notice their age; we don’t notice their frailties.  I know this doesn’t sound upbeat on first reading, but read again and you will see that...

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY FROM ALL OF US AT BVS!

Posted by under ,

What a wonderful time to celebrate our mothers.  A time to think about all they have done for us and meant to us.  Take a moment to consider, the kindness they have shown, the generosity of time.  For me, it is all those little things, that have built up over time that matter.  I remember how it felt as a child, coming home from school.  Taking a piece of paper from my school bag and showing my mum my piece of crinkled artwork.  Seeing the pride in her eyes as she stuck it on the refrigerator door.  Every time I...

MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, HAVE THEY GO ANY PLACE IN ROMANTIC FICTION?

Posted by under , ,

Mental health issues, have they got any place in romantic fiction?  Is your own state of mind one of the last taboos?  I believe a lot of people are affected by mental health issues, stress, and forms of OCD are fairly commonplace, yet we rarely talk about it.  It is probably one of the least romantic topics, yet it is part of the human condition.  In our writing, we use our personal experiences as a framework for our stories.  Is it also not fair to represent stress as well? I have been delighted to have read the work of KA...

EASTER IS A TIME TO GATHER WITH LOVED ONES

Posted by under ,

For many, Easter is a time to gather with loved ones over a special meal to celebrate the season of spring, hope, and renewal. For others, it is filled with Easter egg hunts, bunnies, baskets full of a chocolate rabbit, eggs, jellybeans and hopefully a book or two. Both slow down the worries in our lives, the workload of the daily routine and bring people together in a joyful day of hope, peace, and love. Here at BVS, we will join our families on Sunday to enjoy some quiet time, good conversation, and delicious food. We will most likely read...
