Summer Heat 2
I’m a historical mood today. That means to beat the heat (even though these authors actually bring the heat), I’m giving away more bookish goodness. First up is Meredith Duran’s delicious BOUND BY YOUR TOUCH. Meredith Duran writes with power, lyricism and elegance that never overshadows the strength of her characters. She is a luminary [...]

Summer Heat giveaway

10 years down the road.

I feel a serious post coming on
I was just reading some commentary wherein someone said, “White people shouldn’t write X minority.” That’s paraphrased, of course, and simplified, but it’s not the first time I’ve heard that sentiment. I’ve also heard writers express the opinion that they’re afraid to write X minority because they’re afraid of getting it wrong. Well, hello, Sword [...]
