By Evelyn David Every summer, when my boys were little, we’d head to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, for a week of sun and fun. Back then, Rehoboth was a little less honky-tonk, a little more family friendly than neighboring Ocean City, Maryland. But to get to this little isle of paradise meant traveling down the New […]
By Laura Spinella So here’s the first thing you should know: I didn’t win. Hey, it’s okay. I was the true newbie in RITA’s Best First Book category. In my case, it really was just an honor to be nominated. Overall, my trip to the annual Romance Writers of America conference and subsequent RITA Awards […]
Or Who Says Women Can’t Run That Far? by Bethany Maines It’s Olympics time again. To me the Olympics always represent passion, competition, the wonder of the human body, and the indomitable human spirit. And of course, the Three Stooges. When I was a kid my family didn’t own a TV (yes, I lived in […]
My latest Rocky Bluff P.D. mystery, No Bells, (sort of a cozy police procedural) has been out since February and I’ve been promoting it like crazy.

Already, I have Presidential Campaign Fatigue—PCF in medical parlance—which means that I break into a cold sweat when I see a black and white photo of candidate X—be it the incumbent or his opponent—superimposed over a […]

by Bethany Maines A few weeks ago I posted a photo on my FB page that said, “If you were in my novel, I’d have killed you off by now.” I’d like to say that was a joke, but the unfortunate part (for everyone else) of being a writer is that I really do use […]
By: Joelle Charbonneau Happy Tuesday! If you’re like me, you’re amazed that the summer months have flown by so quickly. How can August already be next week? I mean…didn’t the summer just begin.
