Blidgets, Widgets & Badges

from Emily Bryan . . .

I say should because sometimes, I end up back on the widget's… Continue

Romantic Times Convention

In one week, I'll be heading for Orlando for the Romantic Times Convention. This will be my 4th time for this mega-party and I'm really looking forward to it. It's part fan-fest, part writers' conference, part orgy (Ok, I generally skip that part, but it's there.) I'll be rooming with Bobbi Smith, NY Times bestseller of too many western romances to count! We'll be working together Monday and Tuesday to put on her Aspiring Writer program of workshops. This will be the 3rd year I've done it and… Continue

I picked up a copy and squinted at it. I'd been so taken with the yearning… Continue
