Guest blogger  Eileen Troemel Hi!  When I introduce myself, I like to tell people I have a split personality because I write across three names. RJ Stone is my newest pen name and she’s writing (yes I’m referring to myself in the 3rd person – weird) children’s stories. Current release – Dragon of Frendur – a chapter book for 8 to 10 year olds which is about an ordinary village which stands out in absolutely no way – well until a dragon drops out of the sky and into their village square.  https://books2read.com/RJ-Dragon-of-Frendur Eileen Troemel is my name and I...

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...

Strong voices of romance

Posted by under , , , ,

Strong voices of romance By E Pettersen I love a good romance. I've been reading romance novels since the age of fifteen, and I enjoy becoming immersed in a world of passion and drama, where a strong bond exists between lovers. However, I noticed over the years that the plots wore thin, and characters lacked depth in the pile of romance books that I collected. Some of the books had scenes that were red flags: abusive relationships, women not standing up for themselves, and blurred lines concerning consent. On top of that, I was tired of the submissive protagonist. A...

Pandemic Anxiety Busters 

Posted by under , , , ,

Pandemic Anxiety Busters by Gibby Campbell                We are well into the pandemic now, and I’m noticing more and more folks posting about how anxious they’ve become.  I thought I’d write an article on how to cope.  I actually teach this at the college level.                Step 1 is to recognize what you’re feeling as normal.  You’re human, which means emotions happen.  When there’s a pandemic, and the world has gone crazy, emotions REALLY happen.                Step 2 is to name them.  This is trickier than it sounds.  You know you’re anxious, but what are the underlying emotions?  Are you fearful, angry, grieving, depressed, or something else?...

The Genesis of Amber

Posted by under , , , , ,

Continuing this series of guest blogs.  This is by the author of The Unveiling of Amber,  Viola Russell. The Genesis of Amber: From the time I could read, I wanted to be a writer. I’d written stories since I was probably eight-years-old, so I’ve had a writing career of fifty years.  As a kid, I never felt I was limited to one genre, and indeed, I dabbled in various genres.  As an adult, I’ve also never liked to limit myself; however, I find myself writing a great deal of historical fiction.  I admit I love research, but I sometimes venture...

Lockdown Dreams

Posted by under , , , , , ,

I want to expand our BVS blog to include a wider variety of views and thoughts.  What better way to do that than open the forum to the talent of our authors?  It is with great pleasure I introduce Alice Renaud.......... Lockdown Dreams When my life was busy and full of work, friends, church, outings, etc., I sometimes thought, “How nice it would be to be at home, with nothing to do except relax, watch TV and read books.” Hmm… We have been in lockdown now since 20 March, and I realize I quite liked my busy life. I would...

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...
