Dark Fantasy Review
Tuesday, December 6th, 2005

Another book review went up over on Romance Divas. This one is a dark fantasy romance. A little light on the romance, but the premise was interesting. So far I’ve reviewed a spicy full length sci-fi romance novel, a sci-fi/fantasy e-book erotica short story, and a full length dark fantasy e-book. Next up for review: full-length historical romance. Gotta keep people on their toes. I’ll let you know when the historical review goes up. I’m not sure what I want to try next. We’ll see!

Go on now! Read my review! You know you want to.

Review of Karen Mandeville’s The Dead Forest

Another Review
Monday, November 28th, 2005

I hopped over to the Romance Diva’s website today and discovered that they had posted my sample review. They liked my “audition” well enough to let me review for them and now they’ve posted it for all to see. How cool is that? So check out my review of MaryJanice Davidson’s Hello, Gorgeous!

They list this book as erotica, but I would not. It’s about on par with Harlequin Blaze novels in terms of graphic-ness for the intimate scenes. Still, the review is rated PG. Go see for yourself.

In other good news, I got some writing done over the weekend and my wordcount is up. I also discovered an interesting way to kill a werewolf. Not bad for a weekend’s work, huh?

Research

I checked out Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I admit I haven’t read it yet and it occurred to me that if I’m writing anything about vampires, maybe I should read the book that everyone knows about. I hope I like it, but I’m fickle that way. You never know.

Also, I’m writing a second review for the Romance Divas website. This one is a fantasy set in the medieval era. I hope I like that one, too. This weekend will involve a lot of my favorite past time — reading.

How nice for me!

Congratulations! It’s a …TITLE

I posted over on Romance Divas to see if I could find a title for “Silver Bullet” that I really liked. I had many good suggestions and a few funny ones. Thanks to all the Divas who voted!

Drum roll, please…

The new title is…

Happy Halloween News

Happy Halloween!!

I got fun news today! I just got approved over at Romance Divas to review romance novels. Yeay! Free books! I’ll post a link to the review when I write one. Some of the books might be steamy and I’ll warn you if they are.

Also, my revisions for RD#3 are moving along. Still no new stuff — I must finish the reviews for the library journals. Almost done though. I made very good progress this weekend. I’ll have to reward myself with extra Halloween candy.

Trick or Treat!

Romance Divas
Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

I recently signed up on a web forum for romance writers called “Romance Divas.” Very nice and very helpful people there. I asked a question about how much I could/should stray from the path of what’s considered “normal” for mythical/legendary creatures like witches, werewolves, vampires, fairies, and elves (all of which appear in my WIP). Most of them said if I explain why I’m making the change readers should have no problem following me, but I definitely have to acknowledge all those expectations.

Sounds like good advice to me.

Venus Rising!
Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

I took a fun quiz “Which Planet are You?” I found on the Romance Divas site, check it out!

Venus
.:Venus:.

“You thrive on balance in all aspects of your
life. You have a great deal of passion and when
it comes to love, you like to play games. You
have a tendency to search for something better,
a search which always seems to come up short.
You have difficulty finding satisfaction in
life, but you have a great ability to get along
with almost anyone.”
