Love is worth the risk
A hero is at the heart of every romance. Today Anna Bradley shares why she fell in love with hers. __________________________________________ There are so many things I loved about writing “A Season of Ruin,” but one thing that really stands out for me about this story is the way I fell in love with the […]
I just reviewed my to-do list. Merciful angels, what was I thinking? Right before that I posted a project update to for the Bluestocking Belles. Each of us is due to send rough draft of our novella for the Belles’ next holiday anthology to two beta readers on May 1. It won’t be released until […]
Susana Ellis comes on board today to tell us about how Lady Pendleton (who has been her friend for a while, and who is a key, ongoing secondary character in her new series) evolved. ____________________________________________________ Agatha Tate, Lady Pendleton, has become the star of my new series, The Lady P Chronicles, but she started out […]
You’ve probably heard me talk about The Bluestocking Belles. Jude Knight wrote this excellent history and explanation of the name we’ve chosen as our own.

In the final chapter I wrote this description: His eyes fixated on the bride who wore a gown of copper colored lace, some exotic shade Rand had never seen, one that complemented her skin and eyes perfectly. So what might that actually look […]
Good Monday morning. The sun is shining and we’re approaching 70 every day this week in the wilds of eastern PA. It’s a good day for a road trip and I’m off on one in an hour. I’m driving north to meet one of my fellow Bluestocking Belles, Nicole Zoltack, and I’m very excited. The […]
