Fired for writing a romance novel?

In: Epinions

A story in the Boston Herald caught my attention. A school Principal is under scrutiny this week because she wrote a romance novel.
The article states: The novel contains sex scenes, and refers to drug use and binge drinking.
To which my response was… *gasp* Imagine that… people have sex. It’s called procreation. How did you think [...]

Word from the Trenches

In: Epinions

One of our senior reviewers works for a brick and mortar bookstore and we recently asked her to tell us what the mood is like at work. Here’s what she had to say:
” The ‘atmosphere’ at the bookstore is not very bright. With the company pushing for higher sales, there is always some ’sale’ going [...]

1QI: Cover Up by Michele Ann Young

In: Columns

I have never yet covered up a cover of a book I was reading. I can understand why someone might hide a cover, depending on where they are at the time and what their circumstances are. Some covers are on the explicit side, which attract us
as readers, but may incite unwelcome comments from others, particularly [...]

Sister envy by Ann Roth

Cover Up by Gracie McKeever

In: Columns

Question: Have you ever hidden or covered up the cover of a book you were reading so others couldn’t see it?

Answer: No, I’ve never hidden or covered up the cover of a book I was reading so others couldn’t see it; I’ve never felt the need to. I think it would only make people more [...]

Danielle Steel Starts a blog

In: Columns

Yes, this is an important moment folks. Danielle Steel has started a blog. Why is this important?
Well, first of all she’s one of the top selling authors in the world. Her name is synonomous with best seller lists. And yet, she’s always seemed rather quiet. I don’t hear a lot about her personal life. She [...]

1QI: Lunch with an Author

In: Columns

Question: If you could sit down for lunch with any author, dead or alive, who
would it be and what would you discuss?
Phyllis A Whitney is one of my favorites. I’d hang on her every word for a while…and then I’d ask her how she kept up the suspenseful pacing in her books and what she [...]

Killer Abs

In: Epinions

No… this isn’t about a horror movie… or even a romance hero. And no, I’m not going to post a bunch of hunkie pictures of drool worthy abs. You can see that sort of thing here or here. (Leave a comment if you have more hunkiness on your blog.)
No… I’m talking about killer abs today. [...]

Words, words, words…

In: Columns

Words are very useful things, and it seems you can never have enough of them. Every year we hear about new words being added to the dictionary, giving everyone more things to say! Some of Merriam Webster’s new additions for 2007 included the following: “ginormous” (my teenage daughter uses this one regularly), “hardscape” (had this [...]

I Say: Romance

In: Columns

I think the main perception about romance among the general public is that you can’t say “romance novel” without the “trashy” in front of it. I know because I was once the general public of “trashy romance novel” scoffers. The thing is, I had never read one, and I’d guess the general public mostly hasn’t [...]
