Sparked by a conversation between the CPs and myself about precisely how flexible Sam is (don’t ask).
COMMANDMENT THE FIRST: Thou shalt not pretzel thy hero beyond the tolerance of his body during the mansex, let he suffer a dislocated hip or something.
Okay, your turn. What are the other “do”s and “don’t”s of sex scenes? And […]

Friday was my last full time day at the EDJ. I expected… more. OK, I didn’t expect fanfares and tearful cries of farewell but I expected… well something I didn’t get, not that I know what I was looking for. I don’t feel any different, really, despite the purple hair. it was pretty much business […]

Ah, at last they are married! Now for the angry post wedding sex. I swear one of the Townsend brothers is going to get married because they actually want to. Or maybe I should say they will admit to wanting to.
It’s still going great, although I must admit a […]

Yep, I’ll admit it. I’m a blog whore. The past month or so has been a veritable orgy of catfights, flame wars and overall jaw-dropping soap opera-style virtual drama in Romance Blog Land.
Latest examples:

- Cassie Edwards dropped by Signet (I think it was Signet); much polite discussion and a bit of sniping ensues here and […]

Rather than a specific blog topic, I have a couple of things I’d like to share with you on this lovely April day.
First, I’ll announce the winner of my “Name That Bookstore” contest. Then I want to share a piece of fantastic news I received this week.

Boy, I’m going overboard. I must be going through a mid-life thing or something. Bought a Mustang. I cut back hours at the EDJ and now I’ve colored my hair for the first time in celebration. And not just any color, mind you. My hair is now vivid violet with some burgundy highlights. It’s so […]

Slow going this week. We had a storm last Thursday that knocked out my power for a day. Ah, Texas in the springtime, gotta love it.
Then Sunday Ty fell off the swing set and had to go to the ER for stitches. Man he is one tough kid. He […]

Both are making me pull my hair out. The kids are off school for a week on spring break. The weather has been so-so, of course, so they’re inside looking for things to do. That means making me crazy while I try to write and when that becomes life-threatening for them, they go make the […]

Kimber’s post yesterday, and Zot’s comment, really got me thinking, so this is a follow-up to that. Here’s a question for y’all: what makes a character believable to you? What makes him (or her, no need to limit ourselves *g*) come alive for you?
Contrariwise, what makes a character not believable? What makes you say “come […]

Or: How the hell would *you* know?
Picking up on a thread from Jet’s post yesterday …
A while back, after the TTB antho came out, someone asked me where I learned about gay sex in order to be able to write it. In other words, hey straight lady, where’s your gay cred?
I have to admit that […]
