First of all, let me say that I am completely anal retentive. Obsessive compulsive. Detail oriented, as my significant other says. I like neatness. Order. Tidy stacks and piles. Everything in its place, and a place for every thing.
In other words, I am stark raving mad.
My desire for order above all else even extends [...]

1) Why write about superheroes? Isn’t that what comic books are for?
Absolutely. Comic books and graphic novels are filled with all sorts of wonderful, complex, interesting heroes and villains. The stories are fantastic, and the art is incredible. I wouldn’t have written Karma Girl and Hot Mama without the long, storied foundation of comic books [...]

Wonder Woman. Batman. Spider-Man. The X-Men. I’ve always loved watching and reading about them. When I was about five or six, I draped a towel over my shoulders, climbed up a metal trellis at my grandma’s, and deflected imaginary bullets with my bare wrists. (Because I didn’t need any stinkin’ magic bracelets like Wonder Woman, [...]

This is a very interesting time in romance, as much as we bemoan lack of variety we are being presented with some very different books. And is it just me or does a lot of it seem to be coming from Penguin?
When I first hear about Jennifer Estep’s Karma Girl, I have [...]

If you go to your control panel and then go to add or remove programs, if you see firefox twice – don’t remove one.
And if you do, make sure you have IE on your computer. FOUR computer towers in my apartment… I swear to god one day I will take a computer class and know [...]

I generally have a song or five running through my head and often times people or things (like books) get associated to music.
For me, it is very rare that I can think of Jennifer Estep or Karma Girl and not have this song pop into my head. In fact for a while I thought [...]

NEVER LET ME GO
Annie Parks came to Hawaii to gather information and settle a score, not spend time handcuffed to a sexy stranger’s bed. Okay, so this particular stranger saved her from drowning after she was pitched overboard by some goons. And he’s about six feet of hard, Hawaiian muscle and gorgeous cool that’s making [...]

It is me, Ezmerelda! Shannon is busy watching The Amazing Race (an hour later because of DVR magic and her inability to not watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition once they’ve introduced the family), so I have numbered everybody and bribed her husband into randomly choosing three numbers with the promise of hiding Shannon’s Doritos and [...]

Lunewulf Law By Lorie O’Clare
An unexpected human attack on a lunewulf pack has led to devastating losses, leaving the pack with very few single females old enough to mate. Drastic measures must be taken. Lunewulf law goes into effect, stating that every female shall have three males for her mates. If the matings aren’t consummated [...]
