    Romance Junkies Halloween Contest

    This year I’ve joined the Romance Junkies Halloween Contest. If you want a chance to snag a copy of Siren’s Seduction and a $10 Amazon Gift Card—including trying for many other author’s prizes—all you have to do is visit the HAUNTED HOUSE and search for objects with hidden questions. There are many rooms in the game but pay attention to the clock in the Library. It’s really quite simple. Hope you have a safe and wonderful Halloween!

    Seoulful Kiss

    “Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.” —David Frost Rockin’ Out to: WIDE AWAKE by Katy Perry * * * * TAH-DAH! See that cover? I’m giving you a first glimpse at my holiday short story. This one is set in Seoul and is a sweet read. Don’t worry, my signature sensual style is still intact but beyond that, it’s pretty PG. The reason I chose not to write an erotic short was because I wanted my readers to feel warm and fuzzy all over after reading it. The holidays are special to me and what better way…

    Down With Bullies!

    Recently a group of authors from Facebook decided to stand up against bullying and they chose today, October 19th, to write a post about their experiences, feelings, and opinions about this after a teen took her own life because of being bullied. Although I was too late to participate with them, I do feel it’s an important topic. I’ve decided to blog about this because I don’t want anyone to ever think that they have no power to stand up against bullies. Whether we’re family, friends, or even strangers…we will stand with you. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. * * * * I was a runt in the group, loved tagging…

    RWA 2012

    I can’t believe we’re quickly approaching the date for the national Romance Writer’s of America conference. This year it’s held in Anaheim, California at the Anaheim Marriott and there will be approximated 3,000 romance writers. I’m not participating in the actual conference but I will be there to network and meet up with old friends, my agent, and editors. Call it a much needed vacation, if you will. I’ve attended almost every year since I’ve joined the RWA, but this time around I’m going to be writing while everyone is participating in workshops. I’m also there to represent Romance Divas and hopefully pick up useful info for our site since…

    The Smell of New

    I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was to receive my print proof of UNMASKED written by my YA alter ego  J.J. WYNN. The print version will be available July 25th, the day I fly out to California. I’ll provide details when it’s available. Most people ask me why I went with a pen name but it’s really about author branding. I want readers to know exactly what they’re getting when they pick up a Jax Cassidy book versus a J.J. Wynn book. The voices are slightly similar but the storytelling targets the appropriate age group. I wouldn’t want any of my sibling’s kids to pick up my…
