by M. L. Buchman Who doesn't love the 4th!  Well, okay, the bad, bad aliens in Independence Day for one. And maybe, just maybe they blew up the White House before being destroyed, but as I said, bad, bad aliens. And after all, they were trounced so thoroughly that it took them 20 years to come back for a sequel (which we'd like to think was a record for Hollywood, but sadly it isn't even close. I just saw the trailer for the remake of The Magnificent Seven... which I can't wait to see.) Of course it is hard to complain about Hollywood filming in series when I write in series. Especially when I have so much fun doing it! I counted today and in my Night Stalkers series alone, there are four main series and a couple of minor ones. Uh-huh! Uh-huh! The reason this is cool is that one of my series within the Night Stalkers series is the Night Stalkers White House Holiday series. (If this isn't making sense, you can always check it out on my newly rebuilt w...

How to Eat Like a Viking: 3 Things You MUST Know After a trip to Sweden in 1999, Vikings have fascinated me. The first romance novel I wrote was Norse Jewel , a Viking romance. But, the Norse hammers in my head needed balance. So, I wrote Georgian romance set squarely in mid-1700s. Lately, the scales tipped back to hot Viking tales again. That's what brought me to one of my favorite research finds,  An Early Meal . Yeahhhh, the Sagas are full of food and feasting, but this takes you on a gastronomical archaeological journey to seven Scandic sites. The result? Tasty, modern recipes with historical mileage. Hold on! There's more to this adventure than a book report on "What did Vikings eat?" An Early Meal is the result of two Nordic experts' finds, a mix of food and history. Be still my heart! I decided to not only write more Viking romances but to eat like Vikings too. Yes. I'm planning a series of "Eat Like a Viking" blog posts this...

by Cheryl Brooks In the wake of recent events, I find that I don't have a blog about books and romance in me today. The needless deaths, the hatred, and the violence sap my energy and drain my spirit. There are those who are unaffected by such things. I am not one of them.    "Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." - John Donne ...

A few months ago I signed a contract for three more books, and I have been working on the first one diligently ever since. I can't tell you how excited I am about this series I've titled The Expendables. Here's a little about it. --> Twelve hot British noblemen—Dare you to pick just one. With England on the brink of losing the war against Napoleon, Lieutenant Colonel Draven asks 30 younger sons of the nobility—the best, the brightest, but most importantly, the expendable—to form a troop and conduct a suicidal mission. Against all odds, the mission succeeds, which leads to even more daring assignments for the ramshackle unit, who continue to risk their lives for their country. After the war, the surviving 12 soldiers return to London and frequently meet at a club known as The Draven Club. The “Draven Dozen”—hellraisers before they left for war, now a group of restless renegades —must settle back into Society and the world they left behind, facing new th...

I Dream of Dragons, book 1 in the Boston Dragons series, was recently released. Book 2, My Wild Irish Dragon, is 'in the can' as they say in Hollywood. In other words, done, edited, proofread, and ready to go. It's even available for preorders! I'm SO excited about this series. If you loved my Strange Neighbors series and the Flirting with Fangs series, you'll love this one too. Why? Because it's a spin-off of both of those series! You'll see some old friends from the apartment building and the Boston Uncommon bar/tearoom again. Here's an excerpt:   Amber mentally shook herself out of Rory’s drugging kiss. She had a few questions for the fire- breathing dragon. She leaned back, reluctantly. Rory opened his eyes. “What’s wrong, luv?” “Uh… We need to talk.” Rory groaned but followed her to the futon and sank down next to her. She cocked her head. “What is it you don’t want to talk about? And why?” “Everythin’. At least not now.” He shif...
