A GREAT PLACE FOR A DATE NIGHT.

Posted by under ,

I took yesterday as a day off; so I took the opportunity to go out with a friend. It was interesting because the day out, kind of turned into a date, or at least I think it might have been a date. To be honest, I am still not sure.  Has that ever happened to you? Have you ever been out with a friend and not been sure if it was a date or not?  It was sweet, and nothing happened, but it felt more than just two friends doing stuff.  The venue was nice it was a coffee shop...

BOOK COVERS. IS A PICTURE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS?

Posted by under ,

Books and covers is a subject I have talked about a few times, but book jackets are just so important to our business. I should at this point mention our wonderful cover designer Jessica Greeley.  She has done such a great job with our designs and recovering some of our back catalogs, as they go onto Kindle Unlimited. The latest book being Karlene Cameron’s story Dark Awakening. You can find more of our back catalog there too.  I was chatting with an author this morning about her likes and dislikes of some romance covers.  A funny part of the conversation...

SONG LYRICS THAT INSPIRE US TO WRITE.

Posted by under ,

Song lyrics in stories is a topic I have hit on before in a blog; the emphasis was more on the song lyrics in the story. I was going through my dad’s old vinyl record collection and came across “Paperback Writer” from The Beatles. I always loved this song; it brings back memories of long summers listening to records with my dad. I still have his old record player, so I played the record again.  The lyrics struck me as poignant because it touches on much of my daily BVS work of reading submissions. Dear Sir or Madam, will you...

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...
