The heroine lives in the woods, and everyone thinks she’s a witch. The hero is injured and winds up staying with her. I’m almost positive it’s not Wild by Jill Barnett. The book I’m thinking of also has a set of naughty, red-headed triplets who live … Continue reading HaBO: Redheaded Triplets with Matching Names →

Eleventy billion years ago, when I was in college, I took a bunch of classes with an awesome professor who used the Blues as a method of framing Southern American literature. We read William Faulkner and Alice Walker and listened to Bessie Smith and just had feelings. Both the Blues and literature have been described as “equipment for living” (read Kenneth Burke’s literary theory tonight if you can’t sleep), a means of capturing what’s working … Continue reading Chronic Pain and Coping: Why Romance Novels Are My Equipment For Living →

I was contacted awhile back by Elyse, who was looking for recommendations for historical romance, but when we got to chatting via email, I learned that Elyse is a former bookseller who reads just about everything, and she's a marvelous reviewer. So she'll be appearing (poof! LIKE MAGIC) hereabouts with reviews of romances and romance-like publications (which are often really romances). Here's a little more about Elyse: I've always loved to read. I was the … Continue reading Introducing Elyse! →
