Welcome to my corner of the coffee shop. I like my coffee with a dash of cream and shot of Irish Whiskey…Tullemore Dew is my favorite…when I can’t have Irish Coffee, I prefer Earl Grey tea. I write Irish Westerns, Medievals…and more. I published my first book, THE MARSHAL’S DESTINY (bk 1 in my Irish Western Series) with Avalon Books in 2001 and my tenth book, TYLER, released from Sourcebooks on March 1st. Both are Irish Westerns (I like to take my Irishmen out west and get them into trouble). I have a Medieval Trilogy with DCL Publications, the third book in the trilogy will be going into print this year. For my full book list, check out my website About me…as a romance author, I've finally found a way to keep the voices from driving me insane...I put them in my stories. Now when the people in my head argue and wake me up, I'm not worried because I know they are characters from my current works-in-progress...and if not, they soon will be! I like to use family names in all of my stories. The castle on my home page is the ancestral home of my Purcell relatives in Tipperary, Ireland. All of my heroes have some of my husband’s best qualities: his honesty, his shoulders, integrity, his compassion for those in need, and his killer broad shoulders. I’m a sucker for a man with broad shoulders.

Writer of comedic-humor, I can now add YA to that ever growing list of multiple genres.  I just enjoy a good story and challenging myself to create one.   I live in New York with my husband and two boys, and think the writing bug is catching early with my offspring, which is a wonderful thing to see.  There is no better way to unleash the imagination by creating new and vivid fanciful worlds.   Leave me a message, a comment, a thought.  I welcome all words and ideas and know communication is key to expression.

My name is  Maura Anderson, author of Sensual, Magical, Unconventional Tales. I write paranormal (and occasionally contemporary) erotic romance, though I'm also a published non-fiction (read tech) author. My stories are magical, hot and have a touch of sweet that I just can't resist. With a background in modern witchcraft, Celtic history and mythology and software development, you can never be quite sure what will become a story. Or who might appear in one.

Having written as Amy Gallow for over ten years, a reasonable question is why I would choose to change, especially as I will continue to write romance under her name (with at least one book contracted and another in preparation)? The answer is that I want to go places where Amy’s friends might feel uncomfortable, even though a strong romantic thread runs through all my stories. Places like the mind of a veteran of WWI, the French Foreign Legion, WWII and Korea, or that of the longest serving Chinese detective in the Victoria Police on the eve of the execution of a Chinese miner convicted largely on his investigation and information gained while he and the miner shared a pipe of opium in July 1875, and that of a British Naval officer convicted of sodomy in 1815, but hung because he knew too many things embarrassing to those in power at the time. They are works in progress and one is already contracted to Eternal Press, another is in the submission process and I am deep in research for the third. There are others in the pipeline, waiting their turn. All a little different from anything Amy might write, even though she has my gratitude for giving me the services of editors, publishers and reviewers as I learnt my craft. Website |

 I started writing when I was about twelve. I'd just read one of Elaine Mitchell's brumby books (not the silver brumby series, one of the others) and I hated the ending. So I did what seemed the most natural thing to do--I rewrote it <g>. I haven't stopped writing since--though I have to admit, it's only in the last fifteen years that I've seriously thought about getting published. To date, I've completed a total of seventeen novels, (not counting the rewrite of Elaine Mitchell's!) although the first three will probably never see the light of day. I thought they were brilliant at the time, but looking at them now, I can only shudder. I still think the ideas are great, but basically, all three books would need to be entirely rewritten. Maybe I'll get back to them one day, when I have the time and nothing else to write. I'm a member of RWAustralia, the Princess Lulu Regrets crit group (don't ask about the name, because it's just unexplainable <g>), the Sock Monkeys, and the Monkeylint support group.  Learn more at my web site!

Hello all!  I'm a new author who loves both romance and adventure stories.  My writing heroes are people like Tolkien and Patrick O'Brian, whose worlds are fantastic places to be and whose action scenes leave you biting your nails and on the edge of your seats with tension.  But I've always felt that what would make their books *even better* would be a romance between a couple of the heroes.  And I adore Jane Austen - she's my romance heroine - but I can't help wishing there were a few duels or naval battles in her books. So mine are an attempt to have both!  If you too like a bit of action with your romance, or a bit of romance with your action, then hopefully I can help you to have your cake and eat it :) Visit My Web Site

Will has always been a storyteller, but only recently started writing them down. The focus on erotic romance was an easy choice for the man who has always considered himself both a throwback to the warrior poet ethic and an extremely sexual being. Will admits to being an incorrigible flirt, but he also can be quite serious at times. He is always seeking feedback, diverse points of view and the adrenalin of a new experience.

I've been writing many, many years, but didn't get published until 2003.  I love books that ground you in a familiar world, but still offer elements of the paranormal (vampires, wizards, shape-shifters cursed dukes, etc.).  My heroes all tend to be Alpha males who strongly believe they need to protect the women who enter their lives.  Though they may admire the heroine's courage and even understand her need to be strong and independent, they always think they know what is best for her.  More often than not, they are wrong, and it is up to the heroine to help them recognize their mistake and slowly change their attitudes.  In the end, the hero will usually be willing to compromise, to an extent, and may even admit he is overly protective, but he can never really change his attitude since his need to protect is so deeply engrained in him.  The heroine comes to understand her hero's faults, and even grows to love him more for having them.  She learns the best way to get around her domineering partner is simply to love him and offer her love back freely in return.

Hola, I'm James Buchanan, a multipublished author of, primarily, homoerotic romance & fiction. My Novella, Twice the Cowboy is the 2006 Preditors & Editors #1 Romance Short Story, the 2006 Golden Rose Winner for best Novella and has garnered several other awards. I write everything from fantasy to contemporary to suspense. Life wise, I grew up in a small Texas town, hours away from any other small Texas town and about as far west as you could go and still be considered in Texas. A stint at the University, where I ostensibly majored in English, garnered me a degree useful for being someone's secretary. The absolute lack of employment opportunities sent me to Southern California. After a stint in County Mental Health (administration not client) I ran screaming into the field of Law. So far I have been practicing for nine years and someday I might even get it right. You can find my work primarily at www.torquerepress.com and www.phaze.com.  I look forward to chatting with ya'll.

Welcome to my lil’ page about me and my muse.  And my muse is quite active these days.  My first love of romance came in the form of Silhouette Romance novels.  Those lil’ bits of heaven made me hold out for the love of my life.  And yes, I found him.  We’ve been together for over 20 years, 15 of them married.  Our two sons keep us very busy.  In all of these years I never stopped reading and in the last few years I found the time to follow a dream of become a romance novelist.  Now that has been a fantastic ride.  Creating people, worlds and steamy, sexy happily ever after’s.  I like my heroines to have spunk and wit, and my heroes to have a need for the women that fall into their lives.  I love all things paranormal.  Time travel romance is something I think we’ve all read at one time or another.  And let’s face it, erotic romance is like an addiction.  You know you shouldn’t, but you just have to.  I read it all.  I write it all.  Sit back, search my forum and enjoy what you find.  I’m an honest person who finds many things funny and I often have to lug my mind out of the gutter.  Visit my myspace

Hello and welcome!  I'm Alison Chambers and I write romantic suspense for The Wild Rose Press.  My latest novel is called "The Secret Sentinel" and debuted in May.  For a blurb and excerpt, please visit my website.  I was once Vice-President of an association management company in Wisconsin and have traveled extensively where I handled public relations, marketing and management.  I first started writing when I was a teenager, sparked by an interest in Nancy Drew books and a desire to tell a good story.  I like to keep my hero and heroine in dangerous situations against a backdrop of exotic settings, lost treasure and unsolved historical mysteries.  I have written six novels and besides writing, I enjoy reading (usually read 3 books a week, one romance, one non-fiction, one book on writing skills), playing piano and Green Bay Packers football.  But I want to know what you like!  As fellow readers and authors, tell me what's the biggest turn-on for you in a romance novel and the biggest turn-off?  What kinds of things make you either love or hate a story?  What makes a page-turner?  I hope to learn from you and have a fun discussion about our loves and hates in the romance world!

I began writing romance as a relaxation from a 24/7 career and found it an enjoyable escape, especially after winning first prize in two national competitions and a five book contract with an Australian publisher. Life beyond a professional career suddenly seemed possible, even when the publisher insisted I become Amy Gallow. Fourteen published stories later, Amy has written paranormal, historical and contemporary romance, plus magazine stories without me losing one iota of the zest that triggered the end of a professional career. A film rights contract for The Widow-Maker has grown into the shooting of a promotional trailer for the full length feature film and introduced me to both, the uncertainties of the Australian Film industry and a writer’s responsibilities to produce character breakdowns for casting of the actors. It is fascinating to see figments of imagination become living, breathing individuals—even if they look nothing like the mind pictures that drove their creation. It’s doing the rounds now, trying to drum up enough finance to shoot the whole film. I signed the contract for my fifteenth story at the end of May and it will be the first one under my own name, opening up a whole new chapter in my writing. Visit Amy's Website

Hi.  Welcome to the Coffee Corner of award winning, best selling (USA Today Bestseller List among others) author Samantha Gentry.  Come on in, grab a cup, kick off your shoes, and relax.  We can talk about whatever you'd like.  My reading tastes are eclectic.  I enjoy all sorts of books, both fiction and non-fiction.  However, I have to admit that once I started writing I found myself reading more non-fiction than fiction because of my research into various subjects.  My writing is a little more focused—erotic romance (contemporary and suspense), contemporary romance, romantic suspense, and mystery.  As time permits, I'm trying something new by working on a couple of paranormal stories.  In addition to my ebook releases written as Samantha Gentry, I also have a backlist of 21 novels published with Harlequin Intrigue and Silhouette Desire under my other pseudonym.  You'll find the list on my website.   On Sunday mornings I post a new blog and have several contests each year on my website (usually something to do with movie trivia).  Stop by and leave a comment on my blog about the current weekly subject and don't forget to enter my website contest.

I read, I edit and I write. That's my life. Well, apart from boating in beautiful British Columbia, and growing orchids and playing in the Caribbean surf in Costa Rica, my half-time home. I just can't quit because I love it all so much. My writing style has changed over the span of my career  from sweet and tender (because that's all they wanted way back when)  to hot and sexy, and now, in-your-face erotica, along with paranormal (no vampires or werewolves), and fantasy--that means things like sea serpents and genies.  But whatever it is, it's Romance with a capital R. Reviewers like to say my books are humorous, but that's never been my plan.  I think I just have a mildly twisted way of looking at life. Well, okay, maybe not "mildly', but that's probably a matter of opinion. I mean, why shouldn't a genie hide out in a plastic gas can drifting in the ocean when his bejeweled bottle gets broken, crashing into shore. He had to have a house, didn't he? Any old jerry-can in a storm... Though most of my books have been print published, I believe electronic publishing is the future, and that the future is here, which is why I've been focusing on that medium exclusively for the past few years. Many of my print books have been rereleased, and my new ones are all electronic. Visit my Website

Who's up for a tailgate party, cuz I'm always around to shoot the breeze. Be forewarned though, I can get chatty when the subject gets interestin.' I love writing romance and delving into fantasy worlds, but I love even more talking to readers and other authors. Texas hospitality at its finest, so grab a cup of java and sit a spell. We'll weave a few yarns together. About me? I was the 2006 best selling author for Champagne Books and I write science-fiction futuristic romances and historical westerns. Both genres fascinate me, and I love getting lost in the drama and romance. Check out my website; www.ciaragold.com

Hi, I'm Cat Grant, writer of erotic romance. My first novel, an erotic tale featuring a m/m/f menage a trois entitled THE ARRANGEMENT, will be published May 5th, 2008, by Lyrical Press. I've been writing off and on ever since I was old enough to hold a pencil. I've poked around in many different genres. I've written fan fiction, tried my hand at fantasy and horror, but in the end I came back to what I enjoy most - writing about the intimate relationships between men and women, and how love doesn't always happen the way we expect. Check out my website and my blog for news about my upcoming projects.

Come Undone With Author Devon Gray I am a writer of contemporary sensual romance. Sometimes dark, sometime humorous, but always steeped in emotion. I have always loved becoming lost in a great love story, from the turn of the first page to the bittersweet disappointment of reaching “the end”. Being given the opportunity to hopefully transport readers to the same “literary trance” is a privilege I am grateful for every day. I live down south, where it is hottern’ hell ya’ll, with my husband and two children. I love to hear from readers. Please visit me on my website on MySpace or email me

I'm an author of sexy, adventurous Historical Romances. I love to write about hot heroes and heroines who are a far cry from damsels in distress. I have a Civil War historical that's just released with The Wild Rose Press. In Destiny, Emma Davenport, a senator's daughter running off to a forbidden marriage is snatched off a train and held captive by a sexy, daring abductor. Jack Travis is a man with many secrets - and a passion for Emma that ignites the minute he carries her off the train. Destiny's sequel, Angel in My Arms, is due out later this year, and I'm writing a Victorian-era historical with another sexy, sensuous Alpha male. I'll post more about my books on the forums.

Hello. I have always had a passion for writing—and reading. My writing genre ..is like my life…it’s taken me several different directions…I have two books currently out in paperback and e book- One Step Ahead Of Danger ..which is a suspense w/ romance and Life Choices which is a women’s/ contemporary novel. I have a paranormal- not romance- Dark Side Of Purgatory- about a drug addict- dead..in Purgatory (duh!) The book is about addiction, recovery and hope. This is in the final ( breathe..) editing stage at Wildchild Publishing. My latest book has been accepted at Whiskey Creek Press, (Don’t Mess With) Clear Lake Women. It’s about a group of women ( 3 straight, one lesbian), their challenges in life and romance, ( a lot of humor and a slice of sweet revenge). I’ve learned how to make my own book trailers and love the creativity aspect of it. Website | Contact Me

Kaily Hart, a seemingly straight-laced mother of four, left corporate America and a high-powered, lucrative career to be a stay at home mom. That lasted about four weeks, during which time she realized she had a deeply repressed dream to write— and romance at that! Who knew? By day, Kaily plays conservative wife and soccer mom, but at night crafts hot and steamy tales of romance and love with gorgeous heroes who wouldn’t dream of leaving the toilet seat up. Ever. She’s smart and sassy, at least in her own mind, and is trying her best to bring the alpha male solidly back to contemporary romance, one hot story at a time. Kaily bought her first book from Ellora’s Cave in 2003. Never in her wildest dreams did she think one day she’d join their ranks as an author or that she’d be writing erotic romance. But now that she is, it just feels so right. Stop by and visit her blog. Kaily would love to hear from you. Website | Blog | Contact Me

I love talking to other readers and writers, so please feel free to email me at any time or post questions and comments in this forum. Thank you!

Absolutely nothing, but she can dream, can't she? In reality Kate is a single, thirty-something vegetarian New Englander who loves writing romantic fantasies.

Sarah A. Hoyt writes science fiction, fantasy, historical fantasy, historical fiction and mystery, but truly all of them are romances.  Whether the love interest is a were-dragon, a bioengineered spaceship pilot with cat eyes or the man she refers to as Officer Hotstuff, he always has the main character's number.  Just as well the main character will make him work er... hard for it.  They emerge on the other side as better people and worthy of happiness.  (Mind you most of them start out with issues that have issues and come home dragging issues.) A fan recently told Sarah that reading the samples on her web page was like the three faces of Eve.  Sarah hopes it's not quite that scary, but at any given time, her mind might skid from history to really hot were lions to -- oh, look, a bird -- vampire musketeers, to the latest news of the supernatural/strange.  She'll post news, events, contests AND the occasional snippet or story, published or unpublished.  The one things she's never been accused of is being boring.  (In fact, some of her teachers would have loved it if she WERE boring.  Now she thinks about it, her parents too.)  Come in and Carpe Diem* *Latin, for Carps are noisy fish -- did we mention Sarah is chock full of culture?  You can tell because her posts have footnotes!

Welcome! I still can't believe I'm here! I've wanted to be an author from the time I was ten. It's only taken me twenty-seven years to get here, but you know what they say…better late than never! I've been writing for as long as I can remember. As a child, I always had a notebook and pen with me and as an adult, the laptop is never far. I've been jotting down short stories for years. The plots and dialog have always played out in my head, but I never knew what to do with them. I never thought to have anyone else read them. That all changed about two years ago when I found a fan fiction website and decided to spin my own version of a popular vampire series. It was a challenge to myself to see if I could actually put a story together from beginning to end. Its one thing to store your work on your hard drive and read it yourself, but it's an entirely different game to put it out there for thousands of strangers to see. I was reading all of this wonderful fiction from women just like me. We weren't necessarily professional writers, but we had a passion to tell a story and through that common interest we spun amazingly interesting tales. (We still do!). Had it not been for the success I found in that forum or the friends I made on-line, I never would've had the courage to take the next step. I decided it was time to focus on my own novels, and here I am, excited to share it with all of you. My books are steamy but possess a strong romantic plot and I always deliver the HEA! So, come on in and see what I'm up to!

Do you enjoy a page turner mystery/suspense novel set on a beautiful Caribbean island with family secrets bursting to explode? If so you will love my newly released debut fiction novel, Desperate Measures. If you don't believe me read the following review from my editor: "Review by Cher Green: Cindy Cromer debuts with a real page turner. Just when you think you’ve figured it all out, a new twist appears and sends you in another direction. Keep guessing, but you’ll never guess who the villain is." Now that I've captured your attention, at least I hope I did, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Cindy Huefner Cromer, a chemist and president of a network of laboratories. I have written numerous laboratory procedures, documents, and research papers. As an avid reader of mystery/suspense, I dreamed of writing a book one day. Now my dream has become a reality. I utilize my scientific and executive background as a foundation of the plot and creation of the characters but limit the use of acronyms and don't bombard the reader with too much scientific jargon. I have also written a few light comedy scenes to give the reader a break from the mounting suspense. I'm currently finishing my second book, Desperate Deceptions, and have books three and four in draft format.

Are you a lover of time travel novels?  Then you've come to the right place.  I know there are more of us then the publishers think there are!  Enjoy a bit of history?  I've got that too!  Like strong women in your stories?  Good!  Does sexual tension keep you turning pages and wanting more?  Let my Alpha males entice and tease you!  I hope you enjoy the men of my stories and can put yourself into the shoes of my heroines. Or better yet, take her place in the arms of my heros!  I know you want that so please join me here and give me your views; tell me what you'd like to read in a time travel that maybe is missing in the ones you've already read.  We can make this loop fun and put ourselves into the past!

New York Times bestselling author Shirley Jump didn't have the willpower to diet nor the talent to master under-eye concealer, so she bowed out of a career in television and opted instead for a career where she could be paid to eat at her desk--writing. She started out in journalism, selling her first article at the age of eleven and dreaming of being the next Jane Pauley. Then she got married. And had two kids. Humor became the only thing that got her through the mashed potato flingfests and toilet paper decorating sprees. At first, seeking revenge on her children for their grocery store tantrums, she sold embarrassing essays about her children to anthologies such as Chicken Soup for the Working Woman's Soul and Chocolate for Women II. However, it wasn't enough to feed her growing addiction to writing funny. So she turned to the world of romance novels, where messes are (usually) cleaned up before The End and no one is calling anyone a doodoo head. In the worlds Shirley gets to create and control, children listen to their parents, husbands always remember holidays and housework is magically done by elves. She sold her first book to Silhouette Romance in 2001. That novel, THE VIRGIN'S PROPOSAL, won the Booksellers' Best Award for Best Traditional Romance of 2003. RESCUED BY MR. RIGHT won the prestigious Holt Medallion in 2007, and "Twelve Days" won the More than Magic award for best Novella in 2007. She found a way to combine all her favorite things in her recipes with her own romantic comedy series from Zebra Books, which launched in September 2004 with THE BRIDE WORE CHOCOLATE.  The fifth in that series, PRETTY BAD, was released in February in 2007. Today, Shirley writes 8 books a year and will see her 18th, 19th and 20th books come out at the end of 2007. Though she's thrilled to see her books in stores around the world, Shirley mostly writes because it gives her an excuse to avoid cleaning the toilets and helps feed her shoe habit. Join her on Coffee Time Romance for fun, discussions about reading, writing, shopping, food--anything that lets Shirley find an excuse to avoid cleaning the toilets. Read excerpts, see reviews or learn more about Shirley at: www.shirleyjump.com.

Hi, welcome to my seat at the coffee shop. I'm Chris Karlsen. I'm the daughter of a history professor father and a mother with a love of the arts and a voracious reader. I grew up with a love of history and books. My family also also had a keen interest in reincarnation and time-travel. The first question in our conversations was always, "why not?" The second question, followed by active discussion was, "what if--" With that in mind, I wanted to write stories where I could see the answers come to life and experience the possibilities through my characters. If you have a love of knights, romance, time-travel or reincarnation and if you have a love of strong characters in remarkable situations that are both wonderful and dangerous at times, then come visit me and chat.

Welcome to my world, where anything is possible. Whether my stories are dealing with humans, vampires, shape shifters, Fae… one thing is for certain belief in myth, magic, and love is a necessity. There is something fascinating about a world where there are no limits to the imagination. The City of Las Vegas is often the seed of inspiration for my writing. When a city is steeped in controversy, holds a wealth of history, mystery, and romance, it’s bound to spark a few tales. It is a city that comes alive when the sun sinks into the west and the hum of pulsating neon lures the evil and lovely out of hiding. For me, the biggest challenge is melding present day Las Vegas with the world my mind sees when my eyes close at night. My goal is to blur the lines between myth, fantasy, and romance to create stories that will capture your attention from page one. Stick around for the journey, I promise not to bite…hard. Sláinte!

I favor water more than coffee, but chocolate is always at the top of my caffeine list.  I'd love to sit back and chat with you about any topic you choose. I write romantic suspense, paranormal, urban fantasy, contemporary romances containing spice and humor. I'm multipublished and my mind continues to click off new ideas, fantasies to pursue. Please feel free to visit my website, or MySpace page, or FaceBook.

My novels are heavy in fantasy, heart squeezing, thigh-clenching romance, and even give a good chuckle every now and again.  I’m not a planner.  I don’t write with a set idea because no matter what I plan, the characters’ voices always come through and demand I listen to them. So, I gave up trying to fight it! The journey as a writer all began when I was a teen and wrote poetry, which still to this day I pull out to have a good laugh.  Later on, I tried a couple of times to put a book together with no such luck.  Couldn’t ever get past the first few chapters.  But once I was exposed to the paranormal world, ideas came quickly. At first, it was a way to keep my brain alive since being a stay at home mom can be a little let’s say―numbing. It was an escape from screaming kids, dirty diapers and plain old mom duty.  It started as a hobby, but as the stories progressed it became a passion. Now, I indulge at nap time, especially the juicy bits! Every mom needs a good thrill! So here in Kitchener, Ontario, I am a thirty one year old wife, mom, house cleaner, cook, teacher, play-doh extraordinaire, swing pusher, toddler chaser after – who loves the outdoors, curling up with the latest flick, and if I’m not plugging away at a new novel, I’ve got my nose buried deep in a good book.  So there it is―my life!

I write 'dead romantic' fiction, ranging from paranormals to retro-- as an ex-ghost tour guide with her head stuck in the 80s/90s, I've got lots of material to work with. I've lived in five different countries, and moved far too many times to mention. I grew up in a small sea-side town on the coast of North Wales, and lived in a house that backs onto a graveyard (yes, I've got stories to share about that) Perhaps that is why I'm fascinated with all things dark and macabre.  Currently, I live in North Carolina And when I'm not writing, I can be found reading/watching anything vampire related or cooking up a British storm in my kitchen. I've left a clear trail so you can stalk me all over the web, start here: www.joannekenrick ! So, come on in... let's talk books, writing, vampires, ghosts and food! Clotted Cream scones are at the door, along with the PG Tips! :) [Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] Blogging: [The Para Posse] [The Pop Culture Divas]

Hello and welcome, my name is Mercedes Keyes and I write fictional interracial dramas - some call them romance. I work as a major part of a wonderful writing team. The other member of the team is my husband, Mr. Lawrence James. This is how our team effort goes in this soap drama world we've written. I get an idea for the next episode and I discuss it with him. We sit, sometimes for hours going through the story plot, working out how the characters would respond, which direction depending on their makeup things might head. Because he is the man in this team, his feeling is, be true to the way a man thinks, feels and responds on certain things, especially when it comes to the woman he loves, or the way he is with other women in general. While I blanch at some of the flowery language needed to fully round out the male characters, my husband has made it clear ... "You want my input, make the men true to the way they are!" Thus you have the make up of the men in this story. As the story goes, understand and accept that the men will not always appeal to the way we wish them to be, but they are all we have to work with - (smile) While the male characters can indeed be trying, selfish, demanding, domineering, over-bearing, controlling and yes, sexist ... Ladies, some of us love the challenge. Admittedly, the women - we can be a trip too. I have made the personality make up of the ones found in this soap as true as I've known many to be. Whether that be weak, or strong, victims, or victimizers, innocent, worldly, bossy, fluctuating mood swings, at times bitchy, longing and in love, tender and compassionate, flirtatious and lusty too. True as I feel those feelings to be, they will be found in the women I write about, and of course, the women in our online drama series, the Beauty of Man and Woman! We have worked hard to keep this drama and all our fiction material true to real-life - and oh what a ride you're in for! Our most dominant interracial combo exist between black women, with white males, and second to that combo, white women with black males. Please enter my group, check out the reviews, excerpts, short stories, or even better - my website! Website | Facebook | Twitter | Email

I'm a multi-published author of sensuous historical romance and erotic romance. I'm particularly fond of seductively wicked alpha heroes with a taste for spirited, intelligent heroines. My stories are sizzling romances that capture the rich array of emotions that accompany that most fabulous human phenomena – falling in love. When I'm not writing or researching my next story, I enjoy spending time with my own hero hiking, biking, reading romances and biographies, visiting wineries, or relaxing on the Outer Banks’ beautiful beaches.

I have always wanted to be a writer but didn't actually pursue that dream until a few years ago. My main goal is to put feelings into words. I want people to feel something when they read my books. I write paranormal, sci-fi, and fantasy romance. On a more personal note I enjoy hairy chests, fangs and walks in the moonlight. HA. HA.   I write what I enjoy in the hopes that others will enjoy my stories as well. Website | Yahoo Group | MySpace

I write erotic romance for the mature adult and strive to write so the reader is pulled into my stories as a silent character to participate in my world. I hope you're able to feel a part of the story and experience, as best you can, what my characters experience. I'd love to hear your thoughts so feel free to email  me or visit my blog and leave your comments. You can also find my books at Smashwords   Below are also a few links for us to chat with each other so please click and comment!

As Kim Rees she writes sensual contemporary romances, with hot alpha males and quietly strong heroines.  Oh, and angst. Angst is an absolute must. And as Kim Knox she writes fantasy and sf with a twist of romance. She loves to play with myth and the past… but also take her characters into the far future. The heroine is more the focus in these stories though the hero is, of course, effortlessly sexy. So you get a choice, swirling emotion for her contemporaries or murder and magic for her sf stories.  Why not try both? *grin Web Site for Kim Rees Web Site for Kim Knox

I write fast paced, fun, laugh out loud science fiction/romance and paranormal romances. Stressed out? Ready to kill someone? Sit down, get some chocolate and read one of my books.

The Nasty Vamp is a paranormal/romance. Bunny just found out her perfect Prince Charming is a vampire. I'm currently working on I Hear Voices. Our heroine uses her psychic abilities to search for Montezuma's lost treasure while trying to ditch an Indiana Jones wannabe hot on her trail. Website | Goodreads

Hi my name is Gwyn Lacy, I have published three stories with DCL publishing and one is waiting to be slotted for release. You will find excerpts and contests and also a work in progress. The WIP is a think tank for all of us. For writers, do you have a particular phrase or word you struggle with repeating? Do you want a think tank on all the gestures a body could make to communicate feelings (the words)? Please participate in this list and post a new one! If you share a phrase or a word, you are sharing! Lol. I don't think we have to worry--there are plenty of words and phrases out there! No excepts (except mine-lol). Please post writing and publishing tips and keep coming back! Pay it forward and no question is stupid in my corner.   WebSite | Blog | MySpace | FaceBook

A hopeful romantic Ashley Ladd loves to write about lots of hot clinches with happy endings. Sometimes she draws on her military background and more often on her wild imagination to pen her stories. Don't be surprised to find talking cats and dragon mounts, travel through time, and genies popping out of bottles. She celebrates love in its many forms: male/female, male/male, male/male/female, male/female/male, and transgender - always with a HEA. She loves to to talk about romance almost as much as she loves to be romanced. She invites you to grab a cup of mocha, soda, or whatever your poison, sit a spell and chat.

Hi! I am Wendy Laharnar, an Australian married to a Slovenian. Now that our two children have left the nest and created families of their own, we live by the sea with our mini Schnauzer and enjoy long walks on the beach in winter and summer. My husband is a great cook, for which I am grateful as this leaves me free to write. Apart from writing and reading, I love to travel, especially to Europe where I find the medieval and renaissance history not available ‘down under’. I have been writing and studying writing most of my adult life and have a Diploma of Professional Writing and a BA with majors in English Literature and Classical Literature. MuseItUp Publishing released my first novel, The Unhewn Stone, in August 2011. Considered YA Historical fiction, although I wrote it for adults, the love interests are quite innocent, but as in real coming of age situations, they are both painful and tender. On the other hand, being a modern Swiss youth trapped inside the Wilhelm Tell legend (1307AD) is exciting, fast paced and often brutal. Alchemy, religion, myth and magic underpin this hero's journey, which begins and ends in Switzerland at Christmas. If you’d like to visit my website My Imagination there is with a widget of the stunning Swiss setting and the book trailer video. Website | Blog
