Contemporary Romance released by Silhouette Special Edition 1 May 08

Pondering Contest Quacks
Saturday, May 31, 2008 8:00 39 CommentsI was thinking today (scary, I know) about contests. You have to admit they’re fun. Is there a better feeling than getting something for free? But really, it’s not always fun for the person running the contest. Sadly, there are some who would ruin it for the rest.

Office Romance Confessions of Jill Shalvis *closed*
Friday, May 30, 2008 11:00 21 CommentsCONTEST will CLOSE @ 6/2/08 @ Midnight CST
Ever had an office romance? I really even hate to clarify what Brody and Maddie (in my just released SUPERB AND SEXY) have as an office romance. None of their story takes place in an office, but instead they’re on the run for most of the book. But [...]
Crazy about…Francis Crawford of Lymond
Friday, May 30, 2008 10:00 18 CommentsAt one point in my life, I decided to give up working for a while and have babies with my husband.

Thursday, May 29, 2008 15:55 13 CommentsIt’s interesting the things one can find while surfing the net. I came across this list on MSN.com that, from what I can tell was originally published in Esquire magazine. As a peek into the male brain, it’s kind of interesting.
