  • Romance Genre Challenged! Is There a Support Group? by Holly Bush

    Romance Genre Challenged! Is There a Support Group? Let me preface this by saying I don't care what anyone else reads or does in the privacy of their own bedroom or spaceship. But the new sub-genres of romance books are downright confusing and sometimes I have to think really hard  to imagine, envision or even…

  • Getting Hot and Heavy with DC McMillen

    I absolutely adore DC McMillen and when she asked if I was willing to be a part of her Friday Spotlight series I couldn't wait. I really wanted to step up to her challenge of writing a post based off of a prompt but I couldn't bring myself to do it… not yet. Instead I…
