KISS THE EARL has finally arrived!

Excuse me while I have a wee muppet flail. GIFSoup KISS THE EARL is finally here!! It's here! It's really really here! Okay, so those of you who don't know what I'm flopping around about, here. Check out this sweetness, and tell me I'm wrong to be jumping up and down. :) This is the third installment in the Geek Girls series. But don't let that stop you! This story stands on its own. It's gotten great reviews from RT (!!!) and Booklist (!!!!) and early reviewers alike. I'm extremely proud of this story. It took a whole lot to get it out there, but now that it's here, I'm over the moon! This book was scheduled to release over a year ago. But then something called "rebranding" happened, and that meant new cover, new marketing, new edits, and a lot more time. It was stressful, but luckily I have an angel of an editor who never let me flip out too much. :) The result is a story that I think is the strongest in the series. I h...

Why is that so funny? by Sarah Castille

Surprise! Surprise usually evokes one of two emotions: fear or pleasure. If the setting is threatening—a dark alley, a creepy house, my daughter's bedroom—then we feel fear. If the setting is welcoming—a birthday party, a sunny room, a chocolate shop—then we feel pleasure. Surprise is also the key to humor writing. In other words, humor is created by confounding expectations. I saw a great example of this the other day on Sinfully Sexy Book Reviews' Facebook page :   Why is that so funny? Because we expect seduction and instead we get naughty cross-dressing! Of course, there is a catch. To write humor, you have to have a sense of humor. You need to see the humor in any situation, delve deep into life's most embarrassing or cringe-worthy moments and take them out of context. Suddenly events that may not have seemed funny at the time can make you laugh. And when incorporated into a story, they can make readers laugh, too. Although my sexy MMA fighter romance, Aga...

Fun with Research on GEEK GIRLS DON'T DATE DUKES

In only 5 days, GEEK GIRLS DON'T DATE DUKES will release. It seems unreal. I don't know if it was crazy fast or impossibly slow, but somehow, the time has passed and Leah and Avery will go out into the world to share their story with everyone! It's definitely a trippy thing. I thought it was weird when I had one book in paperback, but now? You may as well toss me in the loony bin. ;) I wanted to do something a little different with this book. I ADORE Regency romances, but sometimes they can be a bit predictable. Of course the beautiful young lady is going to fall for a handsome, titled gentleman, right? That's just how these things work! I know this, you guys know this, fans of Regencies all over the world know this. Leah Ramsey knows this, so when she goes back in time, that's who she's convinced she's going to find. Hurray for the unexpected! I definitely got to delve a little deeper into the time period in this book than its' predecessor, TH...
