Why do you write...
When I was a kid, a published author meant Random House, Double Day, Penguin, Harlequin and the like, and it still amazes me everyday that I am a published author lol.
I wrote my first play (because let’s face it I’m from Hollywood hahaha) at the age of 13, and it was based off a Shakespearean tragedy. When I look back now, my friends and I laugh constantly because it was a tragedy in...

Well Hey Thar...
If you like Paranormal Romance based on myths and legends, with some kick ass characters, check out my series Teaching Between Midnight and Dawn, or It Takes a Lite Fae. 13 books to the TBND series so far, and 4 to the ITALF. Each of them gets darker, and more sensual as you delve into the realms. As well as cross overs between the series. www.poisonedpin.webs.com Here you can find sample chapters...
WTF?
Okay, so I was looking up new trailers for the 2012 summer block buster. I happen to be on youtube, and thought I’d watch the new trailer for the Hobbit. It was good lol, and I can’t wait to see it. I started reading some of the posts, and was quite shocked at one that I read. The writer actually had the nerve to say that he wouldn’t watch the movie, because the actor who...

Near Erotic and Erotic Romance Writers
Author of Teaching Between Midnight and Dawn Alexandria Infante for Eternal Press.
So, cruising some of the sites that I subscribe to I found myself wondering; why is it that because the internet offers some form of anonymity, people seem to just run with that? Then I postulated the question; why are near Erotic and Erotic Romance Writers treated differently? Almost as if we were branded...

New Release....:)
The Next Book to be Released Aug 1st 2012 @ EternalPress.biz
Zalanthea is a runaway slave but not by choice. While emptying chamber pots she’s attacked by a Union Soldier, and in the process of defending herself she kills him accidentally. She knows that unless she flees she’ll be dead by morning, so she steals the town’s drunk’s clothes to disguise herself as a boy.
Thinking her a lad...

So,
I know how vicious, fiendish, flagitious, foul, heinous, and any other adjective that can be added to the search for publication, literary agents and just plain getting your work out there. There are sooo many guidelines, so many “We want it this way,” or, “No that’s completely not what we want,” and it can be very frustrating.
So in the spirit of the...

Hummm writing and race?
I was leafing through blogs today, and came across this blog called blogher, which I later found out was a sister of blogger. Anyway, it was by a woman named Laina Dawes and she posited this;
Over the past decade or so, many people of color found that the heavily marketed romance novels contained stories and situations that did not reflect their personal experiences. With Fabio on the cover...
To all my Romance writers out there...
Omg! This guy posted a blog that said that we were basically making America and the world stupid. If you write romance, you gotta read it, then defend us!!!

What a wonderful day this is for me today! So I’ve been bummed all this week because of one of the reviews that i got for Teaching Between Midnight and Dawn (you can read it on the blog).

Omg! This is hysterically funny, but not. Okay, so I am assuming that the Review Cite Bitten By Paranormal Romance came to Facebook and Read my Note Entitled “Is it Safe To Say That, Just Like Bobby Bushay’s Mamma, “Reviewers Are of The devil?
This is what they Posted On their Blog!

Isaac Asimov Said;
“Rejection slips, or form letters, however tactfully phrased, are lacerations of the soul, if not quite inventions of the devil – but there is no way around them.” And I believe this to be completely true, but I would also add reviewers with no tact to the list as well. So I’m quite sure that from this adage, you can obviously get it that I got a not so nice...
Well Hey Thar...

Conundrum...
So,
Got an idea for a new Women’s Contemporary fiction book.
I was talking to a friend the other day, and she was telling me about this huge conundrum that she’s in. I thought that I would the scenario for a new book. Then I thought I would send it out, have you guys respond to it, and then whoever has the best answer, I’ll base the ending of the book on what they wrote back to me....

This my friends is an enormous job. I had no idea that it is very time consuming; and most reviewers that you petition are quite busy. Well, *sigh*.

New authors, writers, published and anything in...
So, I decided to write a paranormal book from my own cultural perspective. I’m Latin (Puerto Ricania/ Cubanita), Irish, African-American and Native American. Yet, I wanted my characters to reflect who I was, but incorporate other cultures as well. My books center on the myths of Ast`/the Egyptian Goddess Isis, Osiris, Horus both Elder and Infant, Thoth, the Underworld, the legends of...
Single is not a dirty word, nor a Shakespearian...
Hey thar! So, I should totally be asleep, especially with a 6:30 am wake up call, but for some reason I just had to write. Why is it that to be single and divorced is like a four letter word? After looking at several different on-line dating sites, I had the audacity to join one, and boy was I shocked. It seems that unless you want to shell out nearly 400 bucks a year for EH, troll Star...
Writing, writing, and more writing...
Have you ever been in the thick, of writing, then all of a sudden you hit an enormous, flat out big flippin brick wall? Well, that’s how I felt yesterday. I am at the present working on book 11, and for some reason I’m stumped. I thought if maybe I read a lil, it would produce something; but that didn’t work either. Not to mention, I don’t like to read other...

Teaching Between Midnight and Dawn
Arieanna never thought in her wildest dreams that she, would fall in love with a Lycan; let alone believe that they even existed! It went against everything that she had ever been taught to believe. She had never once given them any credence. The things that go bump in the night were just that, and she wanted it to stay that way too! But just one touch from him, and everything changed. The...

Excerpt;
Auron tossed me into the front passenger’s seat and slammed the door. I balled my fist up and I screamed at the top of my lungs, and the windows on his Jag shattered. That is, all except the front windshield. My eyes widened, and I covered my face to the glass. He bent then to look at me through what was left of the driver’s seat window frowning. He opened the door, and then looked down...
