The Smart Bitches have an interesting blog post on how to foster a love of reading and literary analysis. Interesting reading, mostly to do with required reading in high school. A lot of really smart people having a great conversation over there.
Probably not the place for my inane ramblings.
But I get asked a lot (in [...]

“You should homeschool the boys.”
I can’t even begin to count the number of times I’ve heard that over the last few years. And with TK starting high school tomorrow, I’ll admit I gave it a passing thought.
Very passing. As in blowing by a Buick on a blind corner kinda passing.
The top three reasons there won’t [...]

Following a link on Twitter this morning, I read a blog post in favor of a rating system for romances. This has come up before, when erotic romance was hitting the shelves and a major agent called for a rating system. The response was overwhelmingly negative, but I’m not surprised it’s come up again. Not [...]

Field trip!
First stop: Novel Thoughts, where I’m talking about the difference between romantic suspense and action-adventure romance! Stop by and share your thoughts and you could win a download of your choice from my backlist!
Next stop: the Writeminded blog, where I’m talking about research—or more specifically, guns—and Jaci’s giving away a copy of [...]

May you rest in peace, Senator Kennedy. Not only were you one of the greatest legislators in the history of our nation, but you were incredibly devoted to your family. I hope it’s that for which you are best remembered.

The Devlin Group is back! No Surrender, the third book in the series, is now available from Samhain Publishing!
It’s available, of course, from My Bookstore and More, and I’ve also found it at Books on Board and the Amazon Kindle Store.
And hey, Jaci Burton is giving away digital copies of the first two books, 72 [...]

Yesterday, Dear Author’s Jane posted a review of No Surrender.
A B! :boogie:
I have to confess this is one of my favorite parts of the review:
While I was reading it, I was instantly reminded of Suzanne Brockmann back in her earlier days when she was writing more romance actions stories than simply action stories.
And I [...]

One of the side effects of being a writer is the ability to scare the crap out of myself with the most ridiculous scenarios. I haven’t vacuumed my car at a car wash since the day I was head down in the back seat, trying to suck petrified McDonald’s fries from under the backseat and [...]

As I’ve gotten a few emails and had a few conversations about Angie leaving Samhain Publishing to move to Quartet Press, I may as well address the issue here. I haven’t said much publicly and I don’t intend to. Trust me when I tell you suffering a devastating professional loss while being truly happy for [...]

Backstory bit 1: Jaci and Charli, who have both read No Surrender, insist I have to write Jack Donovan’s book next. I can’t explain without spoilers, but I felt I’d written Jack into a place where I just couldn’t grasp what came next for him. Started sketching out Connor O’Brien’s story before being sidetracked by [...]
