In One Picture: Natasha Moore’s “Weathering the Storm” (Contest)

In One Picture: Natasha Moore’s “Weathering the Storm” (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Colleen C! *~*~* Weathering the Storm by Natasha Moore During a violent storm, a stranger walks into a woman’s bar who reminds her of the lover she lost who died behind enemy lines years ago. Weather can affect us in so many ways, but I admit I haven’t always used it to its greatest potential in my writing. This story I eventually wrote for SILVER SOLDIERS started as a challenge I gave myself several years ago to write a…

In One Picture: Sukie Chapin’s “Clear to Engage” (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Beverly Blank! *~*~* Clear to Engage by Sukie Chapin One struggling bookshop owner, one hot-as-hell former SEAL-turned-carpenter, one line drawn in the sand—until the job is done, they’re not clear to engage. I’m enchanted by bookstores. We have the most amazing indie bookstore in my town, complete with comfy couches, a table with a jigsaw puzzle where my kiddo could hang for hours, and the kindest, most passionate staff. It’s one of my favorite places on the planet. And,…

In One Picture: Ava Cuvay’s “SNAFU—Situation Normal, All F***ed Up” (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Jennifer Beyer! *~*~* SNAFU—Situation Normal, All F***ed Up by Ava Cuvay A sidelined Army cyborg’s only joy is the dimpled smile of a curvy Pentagon admin until she offers him a proposition he should refuse. My Inspiration: Firstly, thank you to Delilah for organizing these anthologies! This is the third one I’ve been involved in, and I’m honored to be among such a wide variety of amazing authors. For this anthology, the idea of a story involving…

In One Picture: Rhonda Lee Carver’s “Broken Trust” (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Debra Guyette! *~*~* Broken Trust by Rhonda Lee Carver A retired SEAL must protect an old flame who’s feisty and more dangerous than any criminal—and dead if he can’t earn her trust. I often believe that writing a book is much like a sensual dance between partners—an emotional, angry dance that evolves into a carnal, submissive, sexy ballet that soon becomes a knotted tango. Have you watched a couple that brings a story alive on the dance…

Getting to Know Kimberly Dean (Contest)

Getting to Know Kimberly Dean (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Colleen C! *~*~* Why did I start writing? Because my favorite authors weren’t writing fast enough! It was before indie publishing, and authors often had only one book per year. Two, maximum. I sat down just to try, and I remember when something clicked inside my head. I get this, I thought. It was just a lark, and I had no intentions of publishing until I ran across a call for writers. A page in the back…

Getting to Know Michal Scott (Contest)

Getting to Know Michal Scott (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…flchen! *~*~* Hi, everybody! My name’s Michal. What’s yours? As a lover of Stephen Sondheim musicals, I’ve always wanted to use that line from Gypsy. Not a bad intro for someone who writes short and steamy. Silver Soldiers is my fourth Boys Behaving Badly submission. I loved the stories I contributed to Stranded, First Response, and Cowboys, but I think Silver Soldiers’ “Take Me To the Water” may be my favorite. All my stories are historicals and,…

Getting to Know Denise DeMarco (Contest)

Getting to Know Denise DeMarco (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Stephanie! *~*~* The first thing to know about me is that my author name is Denise DeMarco, because my “regular” name is Denise DeCrescito, and people tend to have a tough time with that. Something about the “s” and the “c” together causes a wild variety of outcomes. Using a pseudonym eliminates the problem… And saves my kids from sharing an uncommon last name with an author of kissing books. Because that could get awkward. Growing up,…

Getting to know Brenda Margriet (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Beverly Blank! *~*~* Hi, there! Brenda Margriet here, waving hello from British Columbia, Canada. On April 13, I released my fourteenth contemporary romance. It’s taken me ten years to get here, but since I thought I might never finish one book I am pretty proud of this accomplishment. My new release is Strictly by the Book and it is the fourth in my Silverberry Seduction Seasoned Romance Series. The series features a rather unusual book club…one where…

Getting to Know Aurora Russell (Contest)

Getting to Know Aurora Russell (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Mary Preston! *~*~* A long time ago, in a state far, far away from New England, the younger version of me dreamed of being a fairy princess (who didn’t?), a frontier doctor (move over Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman), and a mermaid. I wrote all sorts of stories, and I read so much that I’m pretty sure I strained the limits of the library of my small Minnesota town. Harlequin novels by the wonderful Betty Neels were my…
