So I haven’t watched television regularly since college. Busy jobs, and then kids made getting into many shows difficult. And usually, I’d really rather read. But check it out. There’s this not so new thing called streaming video. Hey! I may have been late to the party, but a few bouts of sick kids (or sick self) … Continue reading
This post is about writing and what makes a great author voice. If you’re a writer or a reader, we hope you’ll find something interesting in it. And in the comments, we’d love to hear which authors have voices you love. Amber: Elisabeth recently said in a blog post that she tries not to envy … Continue reading
I hate to bludgeon a dead horse. No, honest. But it was my day to do the genre talk post, and this is the subject I’ve been kicking around in my head. I am working on some projects that have me mulling over the alpha vs beta question again. I think I’ve come to the conclusion … Continue reading
(psst! There’s a giveaway at the bottom of this page!) Meet Lee and Alexia: Their story started three books ago, at the beginning of my Chronicles of Yavn series, with King of Darkness. The king of Lee’s kind walked into (okay, it was a warehouse rave not a bar, but that just doesn’t roll off … Continue reading
When so many of us were children, it was no thing whatsoever for our parents to let us run off in the neighborhood with our friends, with the street lights as our reminder that it was time to come home. Or to drop us off at the mall–you know, that place we went to find … Continue reading
I have a somewhat embarrassing confession to make: I don’t really read shifters. I’m not entirely sure why. Maybe the “insta-mate” trope bothers me a little. The idea that two wolves/bears/dolphins/whatever so much as sniff each other and suddenly BAM! they are head over heels, they are going to the chapel, or at least ready to get … Continue reading
So, I’m reading a zombie menage right now. So far, I’m rather enjoying the story. I Am Here is told from the single POV of one hero, the beta of the trio. As I’ve stated here many times, I love a good beta hero. And the premise itself is sufficiently disturbing. I know, I’m late … Continue reading
So it’s RITA month on Paranormal Unbound! Shamefully, I, an adult paranormal romance author, haven’t YET read any of the books in the adult paranormal category but I’ve been on a cuh-razy YA kick lately (I’m in it for the angst. There, I said it.). And as Angela Quarles pointed out in last week’s post, … Continue reading
Elisabeth Staab and Tes Hilaire Talk Relationship Baggage, Creature Style Tes Hilaire and Elisabeth Staab became unlikely partners in vampire (and uh, other creatures) crime back in February of 2012 when their debut novels, King of Darkness and Deliver me from Darkness released from Sourcebooks on the same day. They’ve been poking each other with … Continue reading
Vampires come in all flavors and sizes of character these days. What was once more or less a pasty, coffin-creeping horror villain with maybe–maybe–a hint of sensuality of you squinted hard enough has become anything from the alpha fighter who can beat up the bad guys and then fuck like a god until his mate is boneless with satisfaction … Continue reading
