Guest Blogger: L.A. Sartor – Viking Gold
Thank you, Kate, for having me as your guest today. My latest release Viking Gold is book two in the Carswell Adventure Series and I’ve got to tell you that it was so much harder to write than book one. I foolishly thought a series would be easier to write as I knew the characters,…
Interview with Sara Daniel
When you’re brainstorming for a new story, what usually comes first for you, the plot or the characters? I usually begin with a situation. I don’t know the story or the conflict well enough to build a plot out of it yet. But I wouldn’t say I begin with a character either. I have to…

What do you think: Can historical romance and paranormal romance co-exist in one book? I love historical romance. I’ve read it since I was 16 and I’ve written Regency romance for many (many) years. I love the costumes, the manners, playing with the concept of a closed society (which the British aristocracy certainly was, and…
Guest Blogger: Ann Jacobs – What’s the Difference between Sweet, Sensual, and Erotic Romances?
How do you differentiate between sweet, sensual, and erotic romance? Recently, I noticed an app that supposedly can clean up an ebook of language a reader may find unacceptable, not that I’ve downloaded or tried it. I wish, as a writer, that someone would clearly define the elements that make a book one or the…
