When There’s Nothing Left to Say

What do you ramble about when there’s nothing left to say?

After you’ve already blogged about the inspiration behind the book

Review: Lover Enshrined

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008 - Books, Grade: B, Romance: Paranormal, Y-Messie Reviews

Shuzluva: Aaaaaaaaaand…we’re back! The subject of today’s virtual ping-pong match is Lover Enshrined, the sixth book in J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Who will type faster? Who will be reduced to screaming in capital letters first? Before we take off the gloves, we wanted to make sure everybody’s on the same page; thus, Bam has asked me to provide you with the following brief synopsis.

When we last left the BDB, Phury had become the Primale, a glorified sperm donor for the Chosen, the chicks that live in The Fade with the Scribe Virgin. The Primale is responsible for churning out new members of the BDB by making sure he gets every one of the Chosen prego. Phury, being the self-sacrificing whiner that he is, has voluntered for the responsibility, taking Vishous’ place. Of course, the irony here is that Phury is a virgin (don’t tell me that crap in the bathroom de-virginized him. Really.), a loner, and a drug addict. He also thinks he is in love with Bella, providing himself with more reason for self flagellation since Bella is well into the elephant-like gestation period and Zadist is going bananas with worry, which I have to admit is kinda cute and horribly annoying at the same time. Phury’s first sperm recepticle is Cormia, who was introduced to us in Lover Unbound. Cormia is unsure of herself, scared of her discontent with the Fade and has fallen head over sandals for Phury. We will definitely delve into this below.

Jill Sorenson’s Dirty Words

Monday, June 2nd, 2008 - Guest Author

I’m so excited that Bam agreed to hook me up as a guest author on her blog! To mark the occasion, I’ll be giving away two copies of my debut novel, DANGEROUS TO TOUCH. Leave a comment below and you’ll be entered to win.

I didn’t write DANGEROUS TO TOUCH with Harlequin in mind, so the original version had its share of dirty words and inappropriate-for-category content. In case you don’t know, category romances are shorter and less expensive than most other paperbacks. They also tend to be sweet and traditional, but it depends on the line. Harlequin publishes dozens of these every month.

To make a long story short, literally, an editor from Harlequin liked my story. She asked if I would be interested in scaling the book down from single-title length (about 90,000 words) to category length (60,000 words) and submitting it to Silhouette Romantic Suspense.

I said yes. Breaking into this business is difficult, and to be honest, I didn’t have any other offers.
