I am over on tony- paul's blog - A Splash of Scarlet this week. I would like to share it here as well. It has an excerpt from Broken Legacy that I haven't shared anywhere else.  My inspiration   from   my writing comes from history. Makes sense being a historical romance writer, but even in my epic fantasy I draw from history. Human nature hasn't changed...it never has. Greed, corruption , lust, selfishness, the thirst for power has been the undeniable forces that have led to unimaginable horrors within our history. But even at its worse throughout history there always emerges a light—a light to remind of us of humanity—a light to lead us out of the darkness. In fiction, it's easy to come up with a happy ending. I have control. All the conflicts and injustices I have inflicted on my hero and heroine are vindicated by the end of the book if I so choose. Good versus Evil. In my world good always trumps evil . History fascinates me . ...

If you are going to be in the Boston area on Saturday, April 27, join me   for my first book signing! I won't be alone...Julia Quinn, Caroline Linden, Donna Alward, Hannah Howell, Marie Force... are only a few that are attending.  I will be signing Seductive Secrets and Broken Legacy. Excited! This is the first time I'm doing a book signing. I've given away signed books, but I've always been too shy to do a book signing on my own. I have greatly enjoyed attending these romance conferences. I thought this would be a great way to start getting out and meeting readers instead of meeting readers only behind my  computer.  So if you are around, please join me. Would love the support !

Amazon bought Goodreads. What do you think? I'm not sure. I'm taking a wait and see attitude. I like the premise of Goodreads. I like interacting with readers and other authors, but honestly I didn't give it much thought until I read an article on Publisher Weekly . I confess I don't update on Goodreads page like I should. I mean I only just set up Colleen Connally's account. I think that's what I have to do for my pen name...not even sure. I'm there under Jerri Hines, but I know I don't use it to its full potential. One thing I do enjoy is being able to talk easily to readers. I hope that doesn't change. I also wanted to mention readers reviews. To everyone that has taken the time to write a review after reading one of my books—thank you. I have been told that a review is left on average of 1:1000 downloads. I personally think the number is even higher. So for everyone that has left a review I just want you to know I appreciate it. And I encou...
