Success: It's Not Just For Men

As a girl, you can climb a mountain, but only if you look sexy doing it. And DO NOT emote. It will make you ugly, thereby invalidating all other contributions you might make to humanity. Growing up I wanted to be a boy. Scratch that. I didn't want to be a boy so [...]

Let's hear it for the anti-hero!

Who doesn't love the bad boy? They are often the most interesting characters. Most of us grew up rooting for the 'good guy.' Cheering on the hero. Imagining ourselves in the role of saving the world and defeating (or riding) the dragon! But the bad boy (or girl) is equally worthy of our time and [...]

If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales.

This morning we read an article by Neil Gaiman (a beloved favorite author of ours), called Why our future depends on libraries, reading and daydreaming. We encourage you to read this article as well as it emphatically and enthusiastically shares the reasons why reading fiction is so very important, for children and adults and all [...]

Censorship or Discrimination in Publishing: What's Really Going On?

We woke up this morning to discover that the entire Seduced Saga and Kiss Me in Paris have been pulled from Kobo during a company-wide sweep in which they unpublished all books that had been uploaded through Draft2Digital, among other places. At this point, we haven't been told directly WHY Kobo unpublished EVERYTHING from EVERYWHERE, [...]

The Forbidden Series gets a makeover AND a prequel! (Plus, enter to w*i*n a signed copy of The Forbidden Trilogy!)

Two years ago we published Forbidden Mind, our first novel and the book that started EVERYTHING. This series led to the spin-off bestseller, the Seduced Saga, and is inspiring so many more books in this world. But it all started here. One year ago, we published the final book, Forbidden Life, and The Forbidden Trilogy [...]

A Gathering of Tales: The launch of a short story subscription experience!

I first fell in love with short stories after reading Neil Gaiman's short story collections Fragile Things and Smoke and Mirrors. (If you haven't read them, I strongly suggest you do! Mad genius, I tell you!) In the last few years, I've been writing more short stories. Several went into my first book, Bits of [...]

Fast, Free and Flawless: Readers Can't Have it All

The nature of the publishing industry is in a constant state of flux, which is awesome for writers in many ways. It means we have more options than ever for getting our work published. But, there are also downsides. Lately, I'm seeing more and more reviews (on a variety of books on Amazon) where readers [...]

Are Romance Novels Realistic? One Romance Author's Take

Boy gets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy gets girl back. My dad explained the mechanics of this popular plot device to me when I was a kid. He said every movie ever made followed it. While I'm sure that's not true of EVERY movie (The Hobbit?), it's pretty much true of every romance novel. So [...]

What Women Want: A Must-Read For Men!

Back in 2000 (can you believe that was 13 freaking YEARS ago??), Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt co-starred in a romantic comedy where he gained the ability to read women's thoughts in "What Women Want". Comedy ensued as this soon-to-be-reformed chauvinist tried to woo his way into her pants, and her job, only [...]
