It has been something of a hellish few weeks. As in no net connection, YAY net, no net, YAY, Boo…. for about three days…. with the silly, silly, silly expectation of me getting it fixed. On that note anyone know of a good class to take on learning about wireless connections?

We will have some of the Harlequin Historical Editors dropping in today. If you have questions for them, ask away.

30 Days And 30 Knights: Risky Love Scenes

Saturday, June 28, 2008 12:00 12 Comments

By Victoria Bylin What makes a good love scene? Better yet, what makes a great love scene? That might be an odd question from a writer who’s moved from mainstream westerns to inspirational, but I think about it a lot. I especially considered love scenes when I was working on “The Christmas Dove,” my contribution [...]

by Kathryn Albright Thank you Sybil for having me on TGTBTU spotlight. I love to talk writing and especially about historicals so this is a treat.

This just makes me sqqquueee so much because I don’t think I have ever seen a Texas Revolution setting in anything other than James Michener’s Texas and those wonderful books I had to read for Texas History in college.

30 Days and 30 Knights: Beware Babies Ahead

Monday, June 23, 2008 11:12 23 Comments

by Cheryl St.John Sometimes when I’m invited to write a novella, I pull out my binder of story ideas that haven’t come together and plots that didn’t pan out for a novel-length book. I select something that sounds fun and then I work in the theme. When I was invited to be in this Christmas [...]

I just finished, as in closed the book about 15 minutes ago, Bedded by Her Lord by Denise Lynn. It was fabulous. And I was all excited thinking maybe William of Bronwyn’s story was the novella. Hey, I read the guest post a while back… needless to say this isn’t William’s tale instead it is…

30 Days 30 Knights: Truth stranger than fiction? Why I love research

Sunday, June 22, 2008 11:00 25 Comments

by Denise Lynn Usually, when I’m writing a story I’m in love with the hero. However, in Falcon’s Heart (January 2007 HH release) I fell in love with a secondary character—Jared, the Dragon of Warehaven. To my shame, I was committing adultery. It wasn’t meant to happen, it just did. Then, to make matters worse, [...]
