originally posted on February 14, 2010 When I first came up with idea of doing this Ten Nights of Love series of posts, I wanted to find something to illustrate them and the obvious choice was the books. As I sorted through my collection, though, I realized that they also showed a lifetime of changes in the covers themselves. So, I wanted to see a gallery of one cover for each author in one post and thought you might enjoy it, too. I included Ten Nights of Love just to keep things even although I may have sort of cheated elsewhere for the purposes of showing an early electronic cover. 😉Read More →

originally posted on February 15, 2010 My ever so logical brain wouldn’t let me ignore posting a list of chronological links for this entire Ten Nights of Love series for future reference.

Inside is this preview description of what sounded like possibly the wackiest romance I’ve ever heard of. The real kicker was that it was a futuristic – being marketed for its sexiness. Whoa. Now, we have to put this in context because futuristic romances, AKA what the publishers at that time were attempting to pass off as some type of watered down blending of science fiction and romance, were not known for their, ah, sexiness. Heck, they wereRead More →

I really got a chuckle out of Wendy’s post about how it seems like every blog around suddenly has a post about a certain author or book lately. I can relate. And sympathize. Cause I ain’t reading her/it either. Yet anyway. Then we all started remembering past furors over anticipated heroes from various authors. Dara Joy’s Rejar. Christine Feehan’s Gregory. Jo Beverley’s “Waiting for Rothgar” craze from several years ago. Now, I’m wrinkling my nose, thinking too hard because I know there were more that set the online romance community on fire with anticipation. Who were they? So, refresh my memory here or on Wendy’s blog.Read More →

I’m sort of vertical again and trying to decide what I’m in the mood to reread because I know I’m not in the mood to concentrate on something completely new at present.
