Deirdre, color me delighted with your response to Whisper Falls! I’ve never been so pleased to be called evil : ) So glad you enjoyed Tessa and Lucky! And having grown up in a small town myself, I like to portray both the good and the bad aspects of it, so I appreciate you noticing that. Yes, rest assured that Amy will eventually get her story – though that comes with an additional promise [...]

Romance Novels: The Visitor's Guide

By: Tessa Woodward

One of the best things about romance novels (and I suppose about books in general if I wanted to get all philosophical on you) is how incredibly good they are at taking you to another place. I love getting lost in a good romance and finding myself in Vauxhaul, Space, or even Cincinnati. So, that's why today's list is: Top 5 Romance Novel Places I'd Like to Go 1. White's Yes, I know I'm a [...]

!#&* this editor says

By: Lucia Macro

Hey, it's the weekend so I figure we can be a little goofy. I know I should talking about books, but with the recent spate of videos about "stuff" (insert group here) say, I got inspired. After all, we're all supposed to be 'showing personality' and 'creating avenues of personal outreach.' I could tell the story of how I got turned away at the DMV this morning ...at 1030 we were all told to go [...]

#!*? this editor says

By: Lucia Macro

We're always being encouraged to reach out, to have personality, to really let ourselves be known to our readers. And I have to admit, as someone who was on Facebook for about 30 seconds (until strange once-young men from my past reared their ugly heads), I've resisted this. Because, seriously, you don't want to know the full effect of me. However, I was inspired by the trend, which should prob [...]

$1.99 + Joss Ware = A Special Kind of Awesome

By: Amanda Bergeron

Like everyone else, it seems, I recently found myself caught up in a whirlwind of gorgeous, dark, raw and utterly well-written dystopian fiction.  Of course we had our "Dystopia" unit back in high school (LORD OF THE FLIES, BRAVE NEW WORLD, 1984), but there was something about THE HUNGER GAMES that brought it all back home. And then of course the others in Suzanne Collins' brilliant trilogy, foll [...]

"A Madcap Erika-type Adventure"

By: Erika Tsang

That’s what Carrie Feron said to me as she left the office on Thursday…she was taking Friday off for “a madcap Erika-type adventure.”  I can’t wait to find out what that was. I have a reputation here at the office, you see.  I once gathered some friends and drove to Niagara Falls just because I wanted to put some mileage on my new car.  We stopped in Buffalo in search of buffalo wing [...]

'Tis the Season to Get Behind a Good Cause

By: Carrie Feron

It is my week to blog, but I am always happy to share the job.  Especially for the City of Richmond, which is sort of a spiritual home for me ever since I attended the U of R. Please welcome Cathy Maxwell: Having a novel out with such a great, holiday cover inspired me to wonder what I could do in my hometown (I live right outside Richmond, VA) to generate a little holiday spirit. I'm fantasti [...]

'Twas the Week Before Christmas...
