This Tuesday’s Tune – 1/15/13

I’m writing something really sensual right now, so to put me in the mood I’m scanning my music library in search of what some of my friends call “grown and sexy” music. “Buttons” by the burlesque super-group The Pussycat Dolls (circa 2006) fits the bill pretty damn well. And added bonus? In the upcoming re-release Read more of this post »



The Five W’s with Sloane Taylor and Heated Negotiations

Y’all remember Sloane Taylor, right? She writes elegant, spicy romances that feature feisty American women and very sexy European men? I may have gushed about her style before. It’s hard to keep up with all my gushing nowadays (feminine hormones and such). Anyhow, she’s got a new book out today and it’s the start of Read more of this post »



On Clean Slate

One of these days I’ll get organized enough to roll out my cover art in a systematic fashion, but for now I show it as I get it. Clean Slate will release after Her Resident Jester and Sold As Is, but as I don’t have art for those two yet, so I’m going to show Read more of this post »



The Five W’s with Nora Snowdon and THE SPANISH ACQUISITION

We romance types read heavily in our own genre. (That’s the thing about folks in creative professions: we actually support the competition!) I got to read Nora Snowdon’s The Spanish Acquisition early, so let me first say “Go buy it. Right now.” You’ll want to stay up late to see how many misunderstandings the hero Read more of this post »

The Five W’s with Diane Jewkes and The Heart You Own

I get lots of guests here at HolleyBlog who write contemporaries (’cause, hey, that’s what I write) but every now and then some brave historian puts up her hand to volunteer for a bit of torture fun. Diane Jewkes (another Coloradan, but don’t worry–we’re not going to run out of us!) braved and defeated the Read more of this post »

Sloane Taylor’s spicy Venetian romp: Masquerade

Stories in that collection are being gradually re-released as single titles for easier consumption. Yay!] With a gorgeous cover designed by Kelly Shorten and the unbeatable editing skills of Elizabeth Read more of this post »



Based *somewhat* on reality.

Did I ever tell you I worked in headhunting? Yeah. It’s where I got the inspiration for my short sexy romance Executive Decision. Now, let me be clear here: I didn’t do recruiting. That was a job for everyone else at the agency. I was the poor sucker who did everything else. It was often Read more of this post »
