Hey guys! We’ve got a guest post (and a #giveaway) from Amanda Forester in which Ms. Forester shares her favorite scene to write from her new release If the Earl Only Knew, the first book in her new The Daring Marriages series. The novel follows Lady Kate Darrington and her brother Robert, the Early of Darington who…
From 2008 to 2010, I reviewed here at AAR under the name ‘Abi Bishop’. On July 1st 2016, Soft Barracuda, my debut novel will be released and I have to wait to see whether I experience any “what goes around comes around – now you know what it feels like” moments. I’m on Elizabeth Hoyt’s…
Hi everyone! Rose Lerner here. I’m so excited to be back and talking about my new historical romance anthology Gambled Away. Joanna Bourne, Isabel Cooper, Jeannie Lin, Molly O’Keefe and I each contribute a story in which one character wins another in a game of chance (one of my favorite tropes!) Since we just came…
Scandal at the Midsummer Ball had its genesis when we received a house party invitation from Harlequin. The details were sketchy, we were provided with a picture of the venue, the name of our host, some suggested dates, and a mood board. We share an Editor and we’d worked together previously on the Castonbury Park…
KJ Charles’s three Society of Gentlemen Regency romances were all rated Desert Isle Keepers by All About Romance. A Seditious Affair, which was awarded a coveted A+, was voted tied first for Best LGBTQ+ Romance in the All About Romance annual poll, and received Honourable Mentions for Best Romance and Best Historical Romance set in…
I began writing when I was in my forties, and I began for one important reason — I couldn’t find any books that I really enjoyed reading. I was a grown-up woman in a happy marriage, with kids and friends and a job history that had afforded me independence and had left me with the…
Once upon a time, back in the dark ages of the late eighties, I read a Barbara Cartland. I figured, why not give it a go? I’d heard Ms. Cartland was related by marriage to Princess Diana and the stories sounded so royal and romantic. So I went in, read maybe two of them and…
The Three Components a Firehawks Book Must Have When I first conceived the Firehawks series, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I never do at the beginning of a book. That’s actually a joke on the writer. There are novels for which I have created detailed outlines. And even when I have…
When I begin working on a new story I always do something I call “walking the land.” I take a few weeks, or sometimes a few months and wander through museums, bookstores, old houses, cemeteries and the stories begin. Since I’m doing books right now set on modern day ranches, I visit several, go to…
I had lunch this past Sunday in Lambertville, New Jersey with my aunt and uncle. It’s a good midway point for me and my mother—they come up from the Philadelphia suburbs and we come down from the northeast corner of New Jersey—plus, who doesn’t like Lambertville? While we do this every six weeks or so,…
