Confessions of a Romance Writer and Reader by Deborah Nolan

CONFESSIONS OF A ROMANCE WRITER and READER By Deborah Nolan   I am and have always been an avid reader.  As long as I have a book or preferably a stack of books and a loaded kindle, I'm good to go. I read mysteries, suspense, woman's fiction and literary. I don't read fantasy, except for Harry Potter, and I've never been a fan of science fiction or horror. But my favorite genre is romance.   I also write romance.  I…

Hyksos Series, Book 2: Conquest, A Novel of Ancient Egypt

These kings were known as the Hyksos, and they dealt a devastating blow to the peoples of the Nile Delta and Valley. The Hyksos invade the…

How I Became an Author of Erotica by Simone Leigh

So...people ask, how did you end up making your living as an Author of Erotica? And d'you know...it was accidental. Not becoming a writer, you understand. That was anything but accidental.

In fact, I was no kind of writer in any professional sense until a couple…

When one of the women turns up dead--and Ava's grandfather is a prime suspect--Ava plunges into the thick of a murder case stickier than her candy store's line of Fairy Tale fudge flavors and the chocolate facials the women adore at the local spa.

The mystery is set in a small town or village, though a neighborhood in a big city or a vacation spot somewhere in the world may also be a location. Readers often buy cozy mysteries to vicariously…

Literary Style Courts Thrillers by Linda Kasten

Upon browsing agents' wish lists the other day, I was puzzled when I saw the request for "literary thrillers". An interesting term, I thought. Truly contradictory. Right? From everything I know about literary fiction and thrillers, I failed to reconcile this term as a legitimate genre. Is this a new "buzzword", a peculiar crossing of two opposite literary forms? And if so, how does that work? To see how the two might mix, I examined the elements found in both…

  Meet Writers Exchange Author, Karen Wiesner:⁠ ⁠ "I'm a lifelong reader. I remember nostalgically lazy days as a child, too young to have worldly cares, let alone responsibilities, opening a book and getting lost in the story. Flash-forward to adult life, and those moments of bliss curling up with a book are few and far between. ⁠ ⁠ "Back when I was a new mother trying to juggle a full-time career as a published author, reading was something I…
