Sometimes the only way for me to figure out if something is working or not is to do a post and test drive the code. So, uh. Hi! I think the transcript and the spoiler code are malfunctioning and alas, I can’t blame it on AWS. Any boodle, here’s a spoiler. That was my first “grown up tv show” and wow, did I enjoy some big hair and shoulder pads. I really thought that when … Continue reading Hello, I am Testing Some Code
We’re going back to May 2016 to look at the Ads & Features in Romantic Times magazine. The kilts are kilting and the abs are ab-ing, and we’ve got some questions. How do we feel about the terms “book boyfriend” and “pre-con”? How much of the 2016 conference depended on Twitter to announce pop up signings and special limited time events?

Grab your carry on, your snacks, and a blanket, because we’re hopping in the time machine again to go back to the May 2016 issue of Romantic Times to look at the new releases and reviews! This issue caused some big questions. Coke or Pepsi? Backstreet Boys or NSYNC? Did you worry about spontaneous combustion? Should I read the Midnight, Texas trilogy by Charlaine Harris?

It is not an exaggeration to say that this book changed the trajectory of publishing. Seriously, think of all the trends and subgenres that grew out of Twilight. Off the top of my head, Twilight influenced so many aspects of the industry, such as: YA … Continue reading Twilight is 20, and I’m Recommending Books in The New York Times
This After Dark post is open to everyone so folks can see what ridiculous tasks I am assigning myself. Any reviews and book shrieking will be part of the upcoming year in After Dark. … I am traveling to Denton, Texas, for the Art and Jazz Fest. Are there romance-specific quests I might undertake in Denton? Oh, hell yeah. First, Denton is the home of The Plot Twist, a romance bookshop and bar. Will I be visiting? … Continue reading A Quest: What Classic Romances Should I Find?
