Hi! Cynthia D’Alba here. I’m pleased to welcome another one of my fellow authors who appreciates all the assets firemen have. If you’re here, then you also appreciate these brave men. Charlotte McClain has put together a whole list of why she loves these special men and women! Firefighters come when you call. Firefighters don’t mind hanging around the (station) house all day. Big boots mean big – uh – hearts. Yeah, that’s it. Hearts. Firefighters know the best route to get anywhere…

Guest Post – Stephen W Brooks

Guest Post – Stephen W Brooks

Hi all! Cynthia D’Alba here. Today I’m thrilled to welcome a longtime friend to the blog, Stephen W Brooks. Steve and I grew up in the same hometown, graduated high school at the same time, and now both write fiction. Steve has the kind of background perfect for writing strong, intriguing heroes and storylines. He started his law enforcement career with the Hot Springs Police Department where he held positions as Patrol Officer, Hostage Negotiator, and Evidence Officer. In 1982…

Lynn Townsend – Peacocks and Turkeys

I’ve only been publishing for two years now. I got my first acceptance letter almost exactly two years ago. I considered it a slightly late birthday present. (Yes, today’s my birthday. Happy birthday to me.) I’d been writing for years. More years than I really want to talk about… I’ve written several novels and parts of novels, I’ve written plays, I’ve written essays, short stories. I dabbled in poetry for a while, but I gave it up when I decided…

I Need a Hero – Guest Post by Laura Haley-McNeil (And CONTEST!)

I Need a Hero – Guest Post by Laura Haley-McNeil (And CONTEST!)

Hi Gang. Cynthia D’Alba here with writer pal, Laura Haley McNeil. Apparently, she, like all of us, needs heroes in her life. After you’ve read her thoughts, don’t forget to leave a comment! She’s giving away a $5.00 Amazon gift card to one lucky person.  Take it away, Laura! Hero. I can still hear Bonnie Tyler’s raspy voice belt out that 1980s refrain. She made it sound so plausible. I need a hero; therefore, the hero will come gallivanting into…

White-Hot Christmas Website: http://www.serenitywoodsromance.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/serenitywoodsromance Twitter: https://twitter.com/Serenity_Woods Reviews include: “This is a lighthearted, sexy read but a totally enjoyable one.” Recommended Read by Jane from Dear Author “They have lots of great sex–and it is great sex, Ms. Woods writes passion well… There’s lots of witty banter in this book between many of the characters and some of it is laugh out loud funny. New Zealand is a character in this book and is described so gorgeously I wanted to emigrate tomorrow.” Dabney from Dear Author…

The Evolution of Seth Ripley The idea for Seth Ripley came to me first. Okay, actually what showed up in my mind’s eye first was a scorching hot blow job scene. Seth, as a character, was fairly well-formed. I knew he was a fire fighter, I even knew some of his back-story. He came to being a fire fighter later in life, inspired to change careers by the events of 9-11. His family didn’t understand, and certainly his (now ex)…

There is something about a man in uniform. I was lucky in the pursuit of love and snagged up an army man. But outside of our military forces we also have those that reside in our home town and they can be as equally hot, both on and off the job. But what about those that have traded in their uniform for a suit? Like detectives and FBI agents? I think they can still be hot and alpha as the…

Sexual Diversity in Erotica What I’m about to tell you may be music to your ears, or drive you mad, because while it provides some insight into my process of editing an anthology, the tough part is, I can’t tell you what to write to guarantee a spot in one of my books. What I can tell you, though, is that whenever I’m editing an anthology, whether the organizing principle is stories of 1,200 words or less, like in Gotta…

Oh, Those Men In Uniform Ladies, there’s a reason you’ll see male strippers dressed as fire fighters, police officers, and members of the military when you go to a strip club.  We love, love, LOVE our men in uniform.  Even gentlemen who aren’t exactly up there with Gerard Butler in looks and body type can turn our heads when they don a uniform. Have you ever wondered why? I’m not going to lie.  I did wonder why my legs go…

The Contemporary Vampire: More Human Than Human Vampires are powerful. In most legends, stories, and films, this seems to be a given. Sometimes, they are preternaturally strong. Sometimes, they have psychic abilities. Often, they are ageless and very difficult to kill. And they are almost always sensually alluring. Depending on the vampire tale, these powers are either explained or implied. Many contemporary paranormals offer detailed scientific descriptions of both vampirism and shapeshifting, while others feature supernatural characters who remain impenetrable…
