Maire Hennessy squinted against the bright October sun as she drove down the quiet Iowa county road. The fields were filled with the stubbled remains of the fall harvest and stripped bare by heavy-billed grackles and beady-eyed blackbirds eating their fill before the cold weather set in. It made her a little sad. Winter would be coming soon, unrelenting and unforgiving. That morning, she had packed up her girls and Kryngle, their four-year-old Sh...

Cedar River, Texas is a boring little town on the outskirts of Austin where nothing ever happens. Well, there was that big bank robbery back in the fifties, but that was before my time. It’s just far enough away from civilization to be surrounded by bucolic ranches and, of course, the Garza’s dairy farm (they have the best ice cream in the county) but is close enough that any day now it might be gobbled up by the “Big City,” as folks from...

Author Guest / August 27, 2012

Hi, thanks for having me today. I’m so glad to tell you a bit about my new book, and how it’s gotten me out of a tough spot with a few of my old professors (well, maybe). You see, I graduated Journalism School from the University of Missouri. It was one of the first journalism schools in the country and let’s just say they take the news very seriously. Whenever I go back to visit, some of my professors like to tease me...

Donna Alward | When the Man in Uniform is a Woman…
Author Guest / August 26, 2012

When I started planning out my FIRST RESPONDERS series, I knew that the first book was going to feature a sexy paramedic, the second would have a cop, and the third a fireman. What I didn’t know was that when it came time to write IN THE LINE OF DUTY, that cop would end up being the heroine rather than the hero. This was a big surprise for me. When I thought about a series for “Men in Uniform” it was always men. I mean...

Nicola Marsh | Writing a Category Romance
Author Guest / August 25, 2012

I love category romance (or series romance as some readers call it.) I love the tightness of the stories (having to pack so much into fifty thousand words), the glamorous settings and the guaranteed happily ever afters. So imagine my excitement when I heard about Entangled Publishing’s Indulgence series, featuring the type of category romances I love to write and read.  Fun. Flirty. Contemporary. After writing 32 romances for Har...

I’ve watched the Indulgence bo...
