Hope Ramsay by Hope Ramsay February 2nd, 2012

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  So, let me kick today’s blog off with this beautiful image:

 

 

Yes, I write contemporary romance, but I have a real deep addiction for English heroes.  Given this fact, it was probably only a matter of time before I decided to send an Englishman to Last Chance.  And that’s exactly what I do in Last Chance Beauty Queen, which hits bookstores this week.

Guest: Muser Alix Rickloff

Livia Quinn by Livia Quinn December 28th, 2011

I’m thrilled to interview one of our very own Musers, Alix Rickloff, whose book, Heir of Danger is being released today! Alix has been one of my favorite authors since I read Dangerous as Sin, and yes, she really is as nice as she looks.

Alix grew up with a family tree that included a knight who fought during the Wars of the Roses (his brass rubbing hangs in her dining room), and a soldier who sided with Charles I during the English Civil War (hence the family’s hasty emigration to America). With ancestors like that, who wouldn’t be inspired?

Alix turned this fascination with British history along with her love of storytelling to good use. She began writing, releasing her first historical-paranormal in 2007. Her books have been described as “sexy and intense”, “exciting and spellbinding” and “a universe you won’t ever wish to leave”.

Introducing Karma Kincaid from Wild Thing

Robin Kaye by Robin Kaye December 1st, 2011

I’m so excited to be beginning my blog tour for Wild Thing so I thought I’d celebrate by flying out to Boise, Idaho, one of my favorite places in the world, and stop by Humpin’ Hannah’s—the bar featured in my last book, Yours for the Taking, and introduce you to one of my characters from Wild Thing and the Domestic Gods Gone Wild series—Karma Kincaid. Now I’ve known Karma for a while—after all, she’s been in two of my books, but she’s never met me in person so I thought I’d surprise her.
