Split Decision

Like a lot of authors, I write under two pen names, Emily Bryan and Diana Groe. My Emily tales are light-hearted and (blush) sexier. The tone of my Diana Groe stories is much darker. If I can borrow an opera analogy, my Diana Groe books are grand opera. Emily Bryan is Gilbert and Sullivan with sex!… Continue

Scene Stealer

Nocturne and Dorchester historical author Bonnie Vanak is hosting my blog tour today. We're talking about secondary characters who refuse to stay in the background. I spotlight Isabella Wren--a former courtesan and now Lady Wexford. Bonnie has also posted a picture of me in my opera singing days (No, that gorgeous creature in the mask is not me.) But I played… Continue

Cherry Picking

I'm visiting at Rowena Cherry's blog today (Yes, that is her REAL name! No romance writer jokes, please!). The topic is ebooks vs print, and I'd love your imput on which e-reader you prefer if you've tried one.

This is a timely topic for writers and readers alike. The economy is forcing print publishers to rethink their business model.… Continue

Characters We Love to Hate!

I'm talking about villains. Whether brutally evil or sly and calculating, they stand between our hero or heroine and their heart's desire. There'd be no story without them.

Please join me on the next stop on my tour for more fun and another chance to win a copy of… Continue

Vexing the Viscount, Corsets and Italian Men

Today, I'm blogging with Shelley Munro. When my oldest daughter when to Europe on a class trip a few years ago, she assured me the most handsome men on the planet live in Rome. She's the independent-minded sort, so when someone pinched her on the bus, she was ready to let… Continue

Visiting the Mother Ship

I'm guestblogging at http://www.adeledubois.com/blog/ today, talking about my first visit to Dorchester's impressive offices in the heart of Manhattan. The business end of books is fascinating and the good folk at Dorchester are like a well-oiled machine, cranking so many new titles out each month. I only have to worry about a couple of releases a year. My editor, Leah Hultenschmidt, is responsible for… Continue

Vampires? I don't get it.

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

Today, I'm blogging about the TWILIGHT phenomenon over at tThe Chatelaines. Personally vampires don't do it for me, so I'm trying to understand the draw. If you've seen the movie or read the book, I'd love to have your take on the appeal of this rising series.

Talk to you soon!
