Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and good wishes - Lily did great in Pittsburgh and we got home late Friday night! So now it’s just rest and recovery for her so she can start her swimming next month.
Larissa and I (and Sydney) are over at Eden Bradley’s blog, where […]

I’m headed out of town today with Zoo and the kid to Pittsburgh - it’s that time of year again, the kid’s spinal surgery. Thoughts and prayers on Thursday morning are most welcomed…
My mom’s staying here to watch Gus. I’m not sure which one I should worry about more.
The Sydney […]

Jennifer has been hosting the Writeminded authors on her blog this week - today’s my turn to answer her list of questions, so stop on over and say hi! Jennifer’s giving away WM mini-promo packets to a lucky winner who comments :)
I’ve been up since 4AM, thanks to the child. Of course, Gus […]

So today, Larissa and I start in on Trance - Sydney’s book 4. We’ve got about 60 + pages (proposal chapters which we’d handed in sometime in January plus some extra scenes that happen later in the book.)
The book is due in July - and I think we’ve got a proposal for […]

Sydney Croft’s UNLEASHING THE STORM
Bantam Dell
ISBN-10: 0-385-34081-8

Beyond desire. Beyond seduction.
Into the eye of the storm…
Feel the heat. Hear the roar.
The fever has begun…
There’s a storm rising. Electricity crackles in the air. For Kira Donovan, it’s that time of year again: when the need floods her flesh, when almost any man—the bigger and the stronger […]

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 […]

The storm is over.
But the seduction is just beginning…
A storm’s rage. A woman’s desire.
A man with the power to set them both free.
He can summon lightning at will. Emerge unscathed from the center of a tornado. Strip a woman down to […]

*warning - post being made under the influence of a very, very large iced coffee plus a cup of regular coffee. And two donuts*
So Larissa was talking the other day about having an ‘off’ day since I had the Syd novella to work on. Normally, with a full manuscript, neither of us […]

I’ve got some notes for an RWA post somewhere, under the piles of paper threatening to bury me. So for now, you’ll get a sweating challange post.
Larissa has a post up here that talks about the Sydney novella we’re currently writing. (check out the comments where HelenKay threatens violence…) And yes, this novella’s […]

Tomorrow morning, I’m leaving for the RWA Conference in Dallas. Posts may or may not happen, depending on how insane things are. I’m looking forward to seeing Larissa and Alison, HelenKay and the WriteMinded gang, plus Cece and many, many others…
But I’ll have pictures and posts about everything when I get back on […]

“Half my life is an act of revision.” -John Irving
“Books aren’t written–they’re rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn’t quite done it.” - Michael Crichton
Linger’s close-ish to being done - another twenty pages or so should do it. My editor’s comments […]

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!!!
Now all Sydney needs to do […]

Sydney’s got a new cover and backcover copy too!!!!! Larissa and I are in LOVE with both!!!
