Lizzie Ashworth: The Origins of Valentine’s Day

Lizzie Ashworth: The Origins of Valentine’s Day

Bet you didn’t know that Valentine’s Day got its start in the Roman Empire with some public BDSM. That’s right. The feast of Lupercalia involved women lining up along the streets so men could run along and whip them with strips of animal hide (preferably goat or dog). The ritual was supposed to increase female fertility and there’s actually no telling how far back in history this tradition might have started. A lottery followed the whipping with women’s names drawn…

Cashmere S. Jackson: Growing is Hard (And Not Necessarily the Fun Way)

January 2017! A new year and new adventures, hopefully good ones, await us. Best of all, for the not so good days, we’ve got books! Reading takes us away from the present moment and immerses us in pleasure. My mission today is to provide a time of reading pleasure for you. One of my personal favorites in writing and reading romance is a steamy historical. Men wielding swords, their warrior bodies muscled and scarred—whew, what’s not to like? More than…

Queen High by Cela Winter (Contest)

Queen High by Cela Winter (Contest)

Post from Cela Winter… “If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.” That’s one of my all-time favorite quotes—from the great actor Katherine Hepburn, who lived a robust and passionate life, all on her own terms. It’s the philosophy that informed my heroine, Gemma Delaney, in Queen High. Broken rules, a little scheming, a little misdirection, a few preconceptions dashed—it all makes the payoff that much sweeter. Because after all, why should men have all the fun?…

Roguishly Handsome, and Other Superhero Problems by Tray Ellis

From Delilah: I’m a nerd, through and through. I love comic books and action hero figures. Among the “treasures” on my bookshelf are Thor and Iron Man Pez dispensers, a Batman Pop figurine, a Star Wars Stormtrooper Bobble Head…I could go on! The kids come to my office to admire my things. They contribute to it when McDonald’s Happy Meals feature some special, nerdy prize. So when Tray’s story crossed my desk, you know I had to have it. And I know…
