I had to share two new reviews from March’s Romantic Times!

BEYOND HIS CONTROL
March 2008
RT Rating: 4.5 stars!!!
Beyond His Control (4.5), by Stephanie Tyler, is wonderful. The tension and love between Ava and Justin is perfectly depicted, and the almost nonstop adventure makes the story heart-stoppingly exciting.
—Page Traynor

UNLEASHING THE STORM by Sydney Croft
February […]

I love this post from Tess Gerritsen. Just love it.
Now I’ve got to hit the treadmill. For hours. Because yesterday was a complete eating frenzy, as it should be. And then I have to write. For hours. And hours. And hours…

I’m SO happy with this cover!!!

Zoo and I get a lot of this from people in reference to our daughter, who’s special needs and the most awesome kid ever: I don’t know how you guys do it / handle it…I could never do what you do – I could never handle it, which is why God gave her to […]

Just a general question…for those of you who don’t panic on a regular basis, do you find you’ve got a lot of extra time in your day?
Zoo claims no, and then he thought for a second and then realized it’s because he spends all day dealing with other people’s panics. He didn’t name me […]

Sydney got some wonderful news yesterday from her amazing editor (and yes, I am feeling slightly split-personalitied talking about Sydney in the 3rd person) – it seems that Riding The Storm will be a Featured Alternate selection in Doubleday Book Club and Rhapsody Book Club for September / October!!!

This Amazon listing was really cool. Will be even better when they finally post this with it:

And yes, I just love it!
Finding this on Amazon yesterday was even cooler.
And finding this on the Bantam Dell site made me scream, out loud…and then I emailed Larissa and then I […]

Okay, I know some of you are scared of my WIP bars (I personally find them very comforting, and some of them are for proposals, not full books - it’s not that bad. Really) - but I’m not the one you should be scared of.
No, the one you should be running from is emailing […]

I’m over at WriteMinded, bragging about this Desert Island Keeper review for an author I know quite well!
Way to go, Larissa!!! One fabulous review after another!:grin:

I’ve been battling this migraine for a week now - I think I might finally be on the winning end of it today, which is good, since I’ve got the whole house - and day to myself. I’ve got plans to finish some major scenes for the Sydney book, and then I’ll be turning […]

I’d mentioned here at WriteMinded a week or so ago that I’d started writing Jake’s book. It wasn’t the first time I’d done so – and normally, for what I call the brother trilogy, I would try and start with the other brothers, convincing myself that Jake would be better off having his book written […]

I guess it’s okay to spill it now - if you want to know more, go here.
