David vs. David

All right, I admit it. My children have turned me into an American Idol fangirl.

Not that I needed much encouragement. This year, David Cook had me at “Hello.”
Meanwhile, David A has his own rabidly faithful following, but for me, some of the best AI moments this year came from Jason. His “I was thinking BOB MARLEY!” was probably one of the funniest things I’ve seen on television, let alone AI.

So who was your favorite this year? And what were your favorite performances so far?

I Blame The Bike

Jessica Jarman and I were talking in IM the other day, and it turns out we share a bad habit: reading at the gym.

Now, the exercise part isn’t bad, and reading sure makes that hellish twenty minutes on the stationary bike go faster. But we both had to laugh that the only thing we’d remember about the books we’d read would be those twenty minutes of sheer hell.

Santa Claus-Jones

It seemed the moment I’d closed the door behind the last of the trick-or-treaters, Santa Claus came knocking. I kid you not — About eleven p.m., October 31st, I saw my first holiday shopping commercial.

Romance Conventions of a Different Sort

I’m here today to talk not of RT or RWA, but of MOC, SBR, CMI, ALAF, WBBA, RJFL, SASA, UDT, BBOA and many others.

Don’t recognize these conventions? Oh, but you do. I’ll bet six out of ten times you’ve read a romance, you’ve met up with one. And that may be a conservative estimate.

The Living Legend Release Day

It’s finally here! The Living Legend releases today from Samhain Publishing. If you’re looking for a romantic suspense read that’s a little more involved and packs some punch, then this is the book for you.
