Time Flies! Or, Oh Crap! It's My Turn To Blog Already?

I've not been reading the blogs lately because I'm working pretty much full-time, which was supposed to be part-time; plus, I'm still a mommy and wife, so yeah, I'm sorta outta the loop, and if Eli hadn't sent out the reminder, well, I'd not have blogged today. That being said, by the time this blog is over you'll all be wondering why I bothered at all. LOL

So the topic of connected books is an interesting one, and then Paty brought up the fact that she wants to write a new series she's been pondering. Well, In keeping with the last two blogs by Eli and Paty, I'm going to let you all in on a few things I've come across lately.

First, writing connected books with a "sorta" HEA is what a best-selling author named Suzanne Enoch has been doing the last couple of years. She has the same two main characters and just continues to put them through different situations while keeping them together, but apart. (ACK! And I call myself a writer. What sort of explanation was that?) Anyway, the series is about a thief extraordinaire Samantha Jellicoe and a British playboy millonaire Richard (Rick) Addison. This is a series that may be a helpful example of what you're trying to accomplish Paty because I think this is exactly what you were talking about. Book one is called, "Flirting With Danger". Book two is called, "Don't Look Down"; and I believe there's another one coming out soon, but don't quote me.

Suzanne Enoch's website is here

Okay, on to a different topic...

The other day I found this cool place on the net for checking out favorite authors. It's called Romance Novel TV so if you have something faster than a dial up connection, go check it out! They have JR Ward, Nora Roberts, Christina Dodd, Eloisa James, Shirley Hailstock, Cathy Maxwell, Caridad Pineiro, Mary Jo Putney, Julieanne MacLean, Rebecca York.

The authors talk about writing, selling, life of a writer or best-selling author experiences, etc...

Well, there you have it. My boring blog post. I don't have a question of the day. Sorry. I'm quite boring. ;)
