Witches + Demons + World Series = Kick Ass!

Well, I thought so, too. But…

“You can’t equate the ALCS with the Apocalypse.”
(me) “Why not? Were you watching those games??”
“And you really shouldn’t say the Yankees won all their World Series rings with Satan’s help.”
(me) “Why not? Just because there’s no PROOF…”

My poor agent…

I think the “too slutty” heroine and the “not noble enough” hero were my favorite things about What a Woman Needs.

Now, that’s why I like this site; you just don’t hear that sentiment everywhere. :-)

Thanks, everyone!

I don't know who told you witches/demons/et al. weren't popular in romantic fiction, because girlfriend obviously had no idea that paranormal romance is **HAWT** these days. Just ask Sherrilyn, Mandy, Michelle, Cheyenne, & Lora. :) Congrats on your first sale. These books sound delicious. ~~Becka Witches + Demons + World Series = Kick Ass!

I breezed over the part of your original post where you mention the (gag) Sox, but now you've gone too far! Pickin' on my Yankees (again!!). . . . :) {{ahem}} I take issue with the villain being a satanic YANKEE fan.

See, I was told that no one outside of New England would really like the witches-n-demons. Something about making the villain a magical, satanic, Yankee fan. I thought it was perfect! (But there was no time travel...just some immortal beings) My paranormal ideas, it seems, are not ready for prime time. Thanks, everyone!

And I'm with Eve--Caroline is a fantastic writer and i WANT TO READ the demons and witches and the World Series! If you've poked around Caroline's website, you know she has a sly sense of humor--I bet the World Series story would really rock. But I'm not an editor, sigh. Hey, maybe Caroline could throw in some time travel from the Regency, too! I LOVE first sales stories!!

In fact, I think I stalked her a bit afterward. :) My copy of Rogue is in my TBR pile, smiling up at me, and I can't wait to read it. Great 'sale' story, too - especially the part about sometimes it's fun to write and sometimes it's like pulling teeth. Truer words were never spoken. LOL I LOVED Caroline’s first 2 books!

Jane, I agree completely with your assessment that her heroes are enigmatic and her heroines have common sense, and I enjoy the mix of the two. But...hey...I wanna read the one about the demons and witches running amok at the World Series :) Eve I love Caroline’s historicals.
