Although I wrote my first romance in the eighth grade, I didn’t take up a pen seriously until ten years later. In my senior year in university, I enrolled in a creative writing class. I was in my literature phase and wanted to write a series of short stories for a collection. Classic Canadian dramatic and dreary short stories. My professor said, “No. You must write a novel.” I was like…huh? Interestingly, my friend had introduced me to Harlequin the…
Come closer, take a seat, relax, have a chocolate. The season of all things Leo is fast approaching, and I can’t wait. I am a true Leo. Go on, look up the personality traits. I’ll wait. People are drawn to me. Yes, they are usually a little unique. Sometimes, they are very weird, but that adds to the fun. I love being the center of attention. I think a part of it is because I can tell a good story….
UPDATE: The winners are…Debra and Terra Oenning! *~*~* Interrogating A.J. Harris I am an unalloyed geek. Two of my favorite shows are Babylon 5 and The Prisoner. They’re known for a lot of things, including asking very simple, but very consequential questions. An interrogation, if you will. And since an interrogation features prominently in my short story for Secret Identity… Who Are You? I’m a writer. I’ve published short stories in about a dozen anthologies. Some are under my given…
UPDATE: The winner is…Cindy! *~*~* I sat down to create this post with Rogers’ and Hammerstein’s “Getting to Know You” from The King and I playing in my head. My favorite phrase from that song is, “you are precisely, my cup of tea.” I hope by the end of this post, after you’ve gotten to know me, I’ll be a tea to your liking. Born and bred in Brooklyn, NY, I’m a child of the sixties’ Black Power movement and…
UPDATE: The winners are…Colleen C and Mary McCoy! *~*~* “Turn to your shoulder partner and tell them three things about yourself.” These words always sent horror and dismay coursing through me. As if Professional Development days weren’t bad enough, I now had to talk about myself. Sigh. You see, the fact is…I’m boring. I’m just a rather ordinary person who often has the great luck to do interesting things. So, I’ll get the formalities over with and get to the…
UPDATE: The winner is…Melanie Ball! *~*~* I hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth of July yesterday. I celebrated both the holiday and a mad dash to meet a book deadline (I wrote “The End” last Saturday.) by the pool with my husband and two mini Dachs. They didn’t like the fireworks much. We live in Texas where the first twelve years of my life was spent on a farm until we moved to the city. I suppose they’ll…

SECRET IDENTITIES: A BOYS BEHAVING BADLY ANTHOLOGY Editor: Delilah Devlin Deadline: January 15, 2024 SECRET IDENTITIES is open to all authors. Editor/Author Delilah Devlin is looking for stories for a romantic erotica anthology tentatively entitled SECRET IDENTITIES: A BOYS BEHAVING BADLY ANTHOLOGY. Why write a short story for this collection? Well, it’s certainly not about making a lot of money, so why do it at all? I’ve said this before, many times, but here are my thoughts… Writing a short…
