Dear Ms. Balogh: I’ve read you intermittently for maybe fifteen years. Some of the books you’ve written I’ve adored and re-read dozens of times. For some of your out of print books, I’ve paid outrageous sums of money. Some of the books, though, I’ve found a bit tedious. First Comes Marriage falls on the high [...]

My First Sale series. Each Friday, Dear Author posts the first sale letter of bestselling authors, debut authors, and authors in between.

(Based off of Shakespeare’s famous sonnet) Shall I compare thee to the A Grade? Thou art more grating to my skull A good contemporary should be a lively parade But I find this book amazingly dull. Sometimes the heroine whines about life And the hero pretends to be a jerk Round after round of endless [...]

Dear Ms. Minton, I’ve just recently begun to watch bull riding on ESPN. Wow, I can see why it’s called one of the most exciting yet dangerous sports today. I’ve also put a few DVDs about the sport in my Netflix queue and was happy to see some of them featuring interviews with and information [...]

Dear Ms. Featherstone, My love of Joey Hill’s books aside, I normally don’t read erotic fiction, but your novel’s cover description caught my interest. A novel exploring opium addiction? Really? Since I’m currently trying to expand my reading horizons, I thought I’d give your book a shot. Anais Darnby and Lindsay Markham have known each [...]

I’m of the opinion that this looks like a 10 year old and I feel dirty looking at it. Angie James posted it on her twitter and wanted to know what the genre was. I guessed wrong. What about you?

Dear Ms. Laurens: What can I say? I can’t quit you. (Note to self, this is becoming the most overused phrase in the english language, a close second behind “maverick” and “change” so please try to eradicate it from your vocabulary). Temptation and Seduction is like 50th in your Cynsters series and it features the [...]

Dear Ms Grant, While SF isn’t what I read the most, I still enjoy an occasional foray into the genre. I like that I don’t have to worry about historical accuracy since the very nature of the beast allows you, the author, to literally make it up as you go along. All I have to [...]

Dear Ms. Armstrong, While I’m quite familiar with your Otherworld novels, your non-paranormal Nadia Stafford books are a recent discovery for me. But as I said in that review, sometimes being late to the party can have its advantages. Namely, no long wait in between books! And unless I’m mistaken, almost two years have passed [...]

Jane and I are back with yet another podcast. Victoria Dahl joins us to talk about switching genres from historical to contemporary, living in small towns, and writing heroines with sexual authority. Then, we discuss talking dirty – in novels. Sarah says, “Damn, Beavis.” Jane says she doesn’t have a wide vocabulary of a very [...]

Dear Ms. Dalton: This is a very well-written book. You have strong, fully realized characters, an unique plot, a romance that is slowly developed and deeply felt, and a solid, believable happy ending. I think you have a lot of writing talent and a good eye for the genre. That said, this book made me [...]
