    Feb 06, 2007

    Here at Avon, we know how much you like historical romances. Lately, we've been hearing how much you like paranormal romances, especially vampires.Well, Kathryn Smith has them both. NIGHT OF THE HUNTRESS, the second in the Brotherhood of the Vampire series, is in bookstores now, so make sure you run out and get your copy.I'm curious: every author has their own myth about vampires--where they came from, whether they're alive [...]

  • When She Was Bad

    I recently had a mini high school reunion with a small group of friends. After we got over the shock of it being XX number of years since we were last in high school, a question was raised: What was the craziest thing you've done in these XX years?One person got married and gave birth to a daughter. Not exactly crazy, she said, but it kept her busy. Then, the conversation stalled because we realized we've led rather boring [...]

  • Dead Girls Are Easy

    By: Erika Tsang

    Typical? What's Typical?I was chatting with a friend the other day and she made a comment regarding my new book, DEAD GIRLS ARE EASY, that really made me think. It was the observation that the heroine, Nicki Styx, was not the “typical” romantic heroine and how the story itself was not a “typical” romance.She actually meant it as a compliment. It was her way of congratulating me for going “outside the box” with [...]

    Lost Princes and Bastard MagiciansWhen people ask me “how long have you been writing?” I generally answer with "twelve years" because my first book, a Regency romance, was published in 1995. That answer, however, isn't quite true. Yes, I've been published for twelve years but I've been writing for much, much longer than that.My first complete work of fiction was titled “THE BABY ELEPHANT” and featured a, well, a baby [...]

  • My Favorite Season

    By: Erika Tsang
    Oct 03, 2007

    Fall is my favorite time of year...not because of anything philosophical, but because it's a new season of TV. Yep. I'm a TV junkie.I love the new shows and, this year, I'm rooting for PUSHING DAISIES, DIRTY SEXY MONEY, and CHUCK.Last year, my picks were FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, STUDIO 60, and DRIVE--one out of the three survived. I'm not sure what this says about my picks...or my taste.I think TV is the reason I'm drawn to ser [...]

    Greetings from sunny New Jersey where I'm taking part in the annual "Put Your Heart in a Book" conference!I arrived yesterday (Friday) afternoon and upon arriving at the hotel immediately met up with the fabulous Debra Mullins, who came all the way from California to help out with the conference. After that, I found myself at Sherrilyn Kenyon/Kinley MacGreggor's chat. Sherri has so much energy! And it's really obvious how m [...]

    Hi there! Here's the conclusion of my "Put Your Heart In A Book" blog. (scroll or click for Part One)Lunch at the New Jersey conference was lovely. Sherrilyn Kenyon talked about her journey as a published author--from the depths of rejection to the heights of superstardom. She was really inspiring--and in her stocking feet, which I thought was really cute.My workshop, "Shaken and Stirred: Writing the Emotional Love Scene" [...]

  • Sin And Scandal In England

    Oct 23, 2007

    It all started with a candle.No, I didn't burn down my house, though with my candle fetish, and I do mean fetish, I have to be ever vigilant of the never-leave-any-candle-unattended rule. Especially with three cats on the loose.I have different scented candles for every room in the house, every season, holiday, mood, and candles to get me in the mood for writing love scenes. I am Gold Canyon's best customer.My nose is my sen [...]

  • Witch In The House

    Imagine staking out a graveyard on a dark, rainy, cold Halloween night.“Really, Officer, I'm just sitting here. In my car. What am I doing? Oh. Waiting for someone.”Who?“Well...”, looking over scores of headstones, “...I'm not sure.”Just think. Instead of having this conversation, I could be answering the front door for little visitors, running door to door, sharing stupid one-liners. (Remember this one: Wha [...]

    Sexy blogs by Beverly JenkinsOn Thursday November 28th, I was guest blogger on lifetimetv.com with Michelle Buonfiglio and the Bellas. It was a blast.I was first introduced to Michelle at the RWA National Conference this past July in Dallas. I had no clue as to who she was, what she did, or why she wanted to interview me. Once Avon publicity rep Buzzy P cleared that up, and Michelle and I were on camera, I liked her immedia [...]

    I (Marianne Stillings) hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and reading lots of wonderful books!In trying to decide what to talk about today, I considered addressing parts of the writing process; plot stuff, where writers get their ideas (always a popular choice), characters (especially heroes), and other aspects of the writing process. Finally, I decided to talk about something I don't see discussed very often, which [...]

    ‘Tis the SeasonThis time of year, the Avon Romance department is the envy of the floor. Throughout the month of December, our authors thank their editors with generous gifts: fruit baskets, wine, and boxes (and boxes and boxes) of chocolates.We get such a generous amount of goodies that we throw an end-of-the-year party and invite all our colleagues. It's fun to gather around the table and try to guess which author sent w [...]

    [The following is a rebuttal by Lynsay Sands to Lucia's Post about THE ACCIDENTAL VAMPIRE]My vamps aren't dead and soulless.I repeat, MY VAMPS AREN'T DEAD AND SOULLESS!Here's the deal: the only reason I got into vamps in the first place was that a friend of mine suggested that she, and another friend (who did write vamps) do an anthology together. I laughed and said that if I wrote vamps, mine would have to faint at the sigh [...]
