Over the past few weeks, one topic has engaged the writer message boards and forums. But, although I’ve read it as an author, it occurred to me that the reader hasn’t really said anything yet. So I thought I’d see what readers think about the current RWA ruckus. Yes, I’m a writer, but I’m a [...]

Well, it’s taken me a week to recuperate and get back into the swing of things since I got home from San Francisco.  Was it all worth it?  Damn straight!
I was supposed to be at the RWA National Conference as a writer.  I started writing only a year or so ago, so I was really [...]

I had everything planned. Really, I did. Yeah, right. I had plans too. Besides meeting and chatting with all the authors I’ve gotten to know online over the past several years, I was going to write to ya’ll and let you know what’s happening. What’s stopped me? I forgot [...]

Sylvia Day has a lot going on, so listen up! You have to pay attention or you just might miss something important…

WOOT! My comment wouldn’t save right so being, you know, like the blog owner and, oh yeah, lazy, I just made a new post. Go team me! Aren’t you glad I am posting again? I know… I missed you guys too.
The heart of my issue is INTERNET MEDIA does matter. RWA really needs to contact [...]

Wendy, a.k.a. THE Super Librarian, as an interesting post up regarding RWA, Press Passes and Fans: Group Mentality. As normal she has many a good point, go check it out if you haven’t seen it.
I like RWA. I don’t see them as the window to becoming Nora Roberts and I don’t think you have to [...]

Friday night is the night of parties and such at RWA. We had RSVP’ed to attend three and were going to go back to the room before heading out to the Harlequin party. I am forever a dumbass and didn’t notice it was at another hotel.
On our way back to the room we [...]

RWA changes are afoot…
That Time of the Year Again
What are some of those changes?

That should so be a button. I think we covered everything now.
Jill covered erotica being the evol. The Blaze chick (whose name I am too lazy to go look up) drew the readers are the evol. St. Giles has amazon is the evol. Karen had a big hand in the covers [...]

Wendy proves once again that she is the smartest
There’s another dust-up brewing online over the RITA judging, the most interesting being Jamie Sobrato receiving a comment that her Blaze novel had “no strong romantic elements.” Basically it wasn’t a romance. Intriguing since last time I checked, Harlequin required books in the Blaze line to be [...]

I don’t get it. How are these books put into categories?
Info from RWA site…
2006 RITA for Best Long Historical Romance Finalists
A Most Unsuitable Man by Jo Beverley (never read her)
