It’s the perfect day to look up a handsome millionaire, but why stop there? Billionaire heroes are hot – they have unlimited resources to make a loved one feel pampered, they’re handsome and business savvy, and can fly to Paris on a whim for a romantic ...more

We are pleased to have romance author Alissa Callen with us at the Cafe today! Hope you brought your appetite, she has some great recipes to share.

What Love Sounds Like is a sweet romance filled with self-discovery and sugar-loaded foods starting with the sound ‘c’. Mia Windsor, an outback speech pathologist, uses food as a fun way for orphaned four-year-old Tilly to practice her clear ‘c’ talking. Whether it be eating popcorn to discover where the back of the throat ‘c’ sound ...more

Dahlia DeWinters: The Ambivalence of Being Edited

Dahlia DeWinters: The Ambivalence of Being Edited

Please welcome romance author Dahlia DeWinters to the Cafe!

Many, if not most authors, exist in a duality.  On one hand, we are an egotistical bunch. We’ve got to be, right? Who else would write something and then distribute it for the entire world to read?  Though we may protest, insisting that we just have a little story we want to tell, anyone with sanity would say it takes serious guts to do what we do.  On the other hand, we are self-deprecating and tend to ...more

Emily Weaver from Disintegrate interviews her author: Christine Klocek-Lim

Please welcome author Christine Klocek-Lim and Emily Weaver from the book Disintegrate. Emily has decided to interview her author, for a change.

Emily: So, what made you think you could write a book about a teenager? Aren’t you, like, old?
Christine: Hey, I’m only forty-three, that’s not old! And I used to be a teenage girl. I remember what it was like to want to get out into the world and see what happens out there without someone (a teacher, my mother) constantly telling ...more

Coleen Kwan: Real Men Don’t Quit

Coleen Kwan: Real Men Don’t Quit

Please welcome romance author Coleen Kwan to the Cafe!

Real Men Don’t Quit is the second book in my Real Men series. In the first book (Real Men Don’t Break Hearts) the heroine has a best friend called Tyler Jones, a feisty, sexy, red-haired jewelry-maker and single mother. At the time, I didn’t plan on writing a sequel, but Tyler was such a fun character and every time she was on the page she came to life for me. Even before ...more

Lissa Matthews: To Take a Chance

Lissa Matthews: To Take a Chance

Please welcome romance author Lissa Matthews to the Cafe!

This is my first time blogging here at the café and I want to thank the gals for allowing me a little space.

It’s always a little nerve wracking to venture into something or someplace new, even if it’s only online.

In the last couple of years I’ve tried new things. Going to conferences alone or relatively alone and introducing myself to people I didn’t know. Speaking in front of people. Self publishing, though I’m by no ...more

Kelli A. Wilkins: Writing Romances Across all Genres

Kelli A. Wilkins: Writing Romances Across all Genres

Please welcome romance author Kelli A. Wilkins!

Hi everyone!

When people hear I write romances, they always ask, “what genre?” Well, the answer to that is every genre.

I’ve written full-length novels and novellas in historical (The Dark Lord), fantasy (Dalton’s Temptation), contemporary (The Sexy Stranger), gay (Four Days with Jack), and paranormal (Confessions of a Vampire’s Lover) genres. And each book varies in its heat level from a mild Level 1 (A Most ...more
