Today we had a little hosting outage and a message appeared to users that access to Dear Author was forbidden. Some of you were concerned that I had banned you from the site. It was actually just an internet glitch, the source of which we are still uncertain but I am pretty sure it has(…)

It’s hard to believe that July is here and 2010 is half over. This year seems to have flown by. I think I might have slept through some of it because I certainly don’t remember the months of April or May. Lady Isabella’s Scandalous Lover by Jennifer Ashley. Recommended by Jane. Bonds of Justice by(…)

I confess that when Berkley asked me to put this together, I thought I would have to strong arm some people (20 of them) into writing me a short story but there is quite a bit of interest in contributing to this collection. I am looking for stories of 5,000 word length (you can go(…)

First off, I have some personal but semi blog related news to share. I have been asked by Berkley to put together an erotica/erotic romance collection of shorts which will then be published in a flip book. The flip book has two covers: one on the front and one on the back. Each cover is(…)

Dear Ms. Leigh: Arm Candy was one of the first Harlequin Blaze novels I ever read; in fact, it was a book I read early on in my Romance reading (what can I say: I started late). Right away, though, I knew there was something especially fun about the book, from the amusing zingers about(…)

UPDATED: Our amazing hosting company has spent hours debugging the WooTheme. Apparently WooTheme had some very inefficient MySQL queries and today, on New Year’s Eve, Andrew from Esosoft tirelessly examined the code so that we could keep our new look. I can’t express my gratitude to the Esosoft staff. Obviously I would recommend them to(…)

Obviously we have a new look and feel to Dear Author. The design work was completed by Maili and it is based off a premium theme from WooThemes. Just the Web did some additional coding work. We’ve developed a couple of informational pages: For Readers/For Authors. Those are both in the development stage. One of(…)

All About Romance did a top 100 list a while back and in the early days of blogging, Jayne and I did a chart of how we felt about those books. It was a way for readers to see what our tastes are like and how divergent we are as readers. We decided, at the(…)
