Inquiring Minds

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Right now, I’m supposed to be writing a Q&A with myself for the back of the paperback edition of The Seduction of the Crimson Rose (due out in January of ‘09!). The fundamental problem with this exercise is that I already know the answer to any question I might think to ask myself. [...]

Weekend Reading

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Now that I’ve gotten over my Elizabeth George kick, I can finally dig into that pile of books my amazing college roommate gave me last week. There have also been a few shopping indiscretions since last I posted (also known as Why I Should Not Be Allowed into Bookstores). Despite the fact that [...]

Casting Call for Lord Vaughn

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Despite the fact that he has no flowery title to call his own, Lord Vaughn has proved one of the most elusive of my heroes– at least in the looks department.
Ironically, I’ve probably described him in more detail than any of my other heroes (when you’ve hung around for three books, you tend [...]

Weekend Reading

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Are you a re-reader?
Every so often, despite the presence of new books just begging to be read, I go on re-reading kicks. Sometimes, these are seasonal, even if the books themselves have nothing to do with a particular season (Barbara Michaels’ Ammie Come Home and Here I Stay are autumn books for me, while [...]

Tasha Alexander on History Hoydens!

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Hello, my fellow procrastinators! I’d like to invite you over to History Hoydens, where one of my favorite authors, Tasha Alexander, kindly consented to take over my blog for the day.
Tasha is an author of many talents. (And I’m not just saying this because she relieved me of having to do [...]

While I’m having fun with covers…

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

… here’s a real Pink Carnation artifact: the Lost Cover of Pink I.
Doesn’t that have a nice ring to it? Having a lost anything imparts such a lovely air of antiquity and myth-making, like the lost city of Atlantis or the lost subway stations hidden among the tunnels beneath the city of [...]

Fun With Covers

Friday, May 16th, 2008

I don’t have the cover for Pink V– I mean, The Temptation of the Night Jasmine– yet, but Patricia kindly passed along to me this picture of the cover of the large print version of Pink I to add to my cover collection.

I’ve always wondered why they chose such a different look from [...]

Weekend Reading

Friday, May 16th, 2008

Another week, another Friday, another weekend to indulge in some leisure reading…. Since I so enjoyed hearing what everyone was reading last weekend (my To Be Purchased list has reached whole new proportions), I think this may need to become a weekly topic.
So here’s what’s on my list for this weekend:
1. Natural Born [...]

And on a related topic….

… Do you notice titles?
The was my Big Personal Revelation for the week. As my editor and I were wracking our brains over this latest title, it occured to me that I seldom notice titles on other peoples’ books. Oh, I remember the titles– most of the time– so that’s not the issue. [...]

Pink V has a Title!

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Like some books, some titles are easier than others. Pink V was a Problem Title. We went through a number of flowers and, yes, even wildlife (there was some talk of doves) before settling on the current title.
Henceforth, Pink V shall be… The Temptation of the Night Jasmine.
Huge [...]
