Hey, I thought I'd set up a blog on blogger.com where people could actually make comments. So, I'm putting all my old blogs in this new one. We'll see how it works out.

May Nightstand Reviews

Guilty by Karen Robards
Robards always has the most exciting beginnings. I love starting her books and getting sucked into a sexy, adventurous story. Thank God the woman didn't disappoint this time either.

Don’t Let Go by Marliss Melton
Don't Let Go is the fifth in Melton's Navy SEAL series. I became addicted to these military romances after reading Suzanne Brockmann's SEAL Team Ten, published by Silhouette Intimate Moments, and then her more popular series, Troubleshooters, Inc.

Fire and Ice by Anne Stuart
I was so upset to read on Stuart’s web page that Fire and Ice might be her final Ice book. The only way I can forgive her for that is if she keeps writing those dark, dangerous romances because I can't get enough of them.

Dark Lover by J. R. Ward
Kicking off the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series, Dark Lover is hot and juicy. In the past, I always turned my nose up at vampire romances, but after deciding to give Ward a little taste test, I'm hooked and I'm not going to stop reading them until I've gotten through all the brothers in her series.

Hot by Julia Harper
If you like Elizabeth Hoyt, then listen up. Here's her first contemporary romance under then name Julia Harper. Starting a new FBI series, she shows us just how fulfilling a phone romance can be.

To Taste Temptation by Elizabeth Hoyt
Well, she's done it again. Beginning a The Legend of the Four Soldiers Series, Hoyt rocks the historical romance world with a steamy yet blunt portrayal of 1760's England

First You Run by Roxanne St. Claire Fourth full novel in the Bullet Catchers Series (there are a few short stories published in anthologies), this story is the beginning of a trilogy about finding three women lost in a black-market adoption operation called Sapphire Trail. And it was just the kind of romantic suspense I love.

May

Thursday, May 1, 2008
May is finally here, but it's still too cold to put away winter clothes. My husband was mowing in jeans and a sweatshirt this week. The lawn sure looks nice, though, honey. I've still got a few stories out to editors and some excerpts and chapters sent to writing contests. And I'm still playing the waiting game. But I've been keeping myself busy this time around, fixing some of my completed works, adding to unfinished stories, and going over one manuscript with my critique partner. It's been very helpful, and not just in polishing my skills, but also in keeping the impatience down so I don't turn annoying and try contacting any publishers to make sure they really did receive my submission.
