UPDATE: The winner is…Latifa Morrisette! *~*~* I have an office in my home and a new computer with two screens. I insisted I needed one. And I do. But…this is where I write. On my couch with the lounge chair option up! That way my puppies get to sleep on the couch beside me, and I can keep an eye on them. Ideas come from all over. News reports, articles in magazines, television shows, and brainstorming with my sister or…
UPDATE: The winner is…Pat Elliott! *~*~* Sheltering Charlotte by Elle James Passions ignite between a cop and a city girl trapped in a cellar while a storm ravages Hellfire, Texas Excerpt from “Sheltering Charlotte”… A heavy roaring sound, accompanied by sideways rain, made him glance toward the end of Main Street. That’s when he saw it. A wide funnel cloud, pounding the earth, spinning everything up in its path, headed straight for Hellfire. Sheets of mangled tin roofing, boards, huge tree…
I got my story idea from a Halibut fishing trip I took off Homer Spit, Alaska in 2012. The deckhand on the boat was a pretty redhead with some serious skills fileting fish! She was spunky and so darned cute I had to put her into a story. And we’ve seen shows about the Coast Guard guys rescuing people in Alaska. Yummy heroes, dangerous waters—a combination that makes the heart pound! Elle James Excerpt from “Rescuing Alaska” A Coast Guardsman…

Hey gang, Megan Mitcham here, writer of hard-hitting heroes, ball-busting heroines, and the combustable chemistry they create–oh yeah, and the people trying to kill them. Like romantic suspense? Check out my FREE (at all vendors) first in the Base Branch Series, Enemy Mine! I’ve been swindled. How about you? Harper Lang aimed to catch a swindler, not be swindled herself… Here’s a sneak peek at SWINDLED, available in Rogues: A Boys Behaving Badly Anthology. “I’m callin’ it, Lang.” “No, Russ. Give…
Did you know that Elle James and I are sisters? Yup. But that’s not why she’s in this collection. Ask her. I’ve passed on a story of hers before. Not that it wasn’t great, but it didn’t quite fit the collection I was working on at the time. So, family doesn’t get special treatment. (Our mom was a bit miffed, though.) She’s in Italy at the moment, so I get to talk trash about her. I’m not the least bit…

BESIEGED A Special Forces soldier rescues the ambassador’s daughter who holds his heart hostage When I found out Delilah was pulling together the High Octane Heroes anthology, I knew exactly what I wanted to write. A tough military guy in a situation that was current and resonant for our nation. With the Bengazhi embassy attack fresh on my mind I wanted to depict a soldier sworn to protect the embassy staff during just such a raid. Surrounded by the enemy,…
I enjoy writing about heroes, but sometimes it can be difficult writing about the world in which they evolve as heroes. Many times our hero’s occupation is can be difficult to write if we don’t do our research. In the past year, I’ve written a smoke jumper. That’s an entirely foreign world to me. Sure they jump out of airplanes to fight fires. But what do they take with them, who’s the boss, how do they work the fire? The…
