Harris, Christine Trent, Anna Lee HuberHistorical Mystery/Historical Fiction/AnthologySeptember 1, 2020 by Poisoned Pen PressARC I picked up this anthology mainly because of C.S.

Guest Post: Choosing stories for an anthology by Rachel Kramer Bussel

December 17, 2019 by Kini Leave a Comment

As the editor of over 60 erotica short story anthologies, I’m often asked what I look for in the stories I select. It’s a good question, but a challenging one to answer. I don’t want to sound flip by saying "I know it when I see it,” as the famous Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart quote about pornography goes, but that’s pretty accurate. I have a sense of when a story will suit the vision I had in my head when I was simply staring at a blank page. When it came to making selections for my Continue Reading

Guest Post: Romance Take Two by Sabrina Sol

October 16, 2019 by Kini Leave a Comment

Second Chance romance is one of my absolute favorite tropes. When I saw that Sabrina is part of an anthology, Do It Again, featuring 5 novellas about second chance, I asked her to write a post about the trope and the anthology. Take it away Sabrina- Is love sweeter the second time around? According to the popular trope known as Second Chance Romance, the answer is a resounding “Yes!” I love a Second Chance Romance because I think the stakes are higher and the main characters have Continue Reading

Once Upon a Wedding- Guest Post by Barbara Samuel

June 14, 2019 by Kini 1 Comment

Author Barbara Samuel stopped by to give us some info on her contribution to the Once Upon a Wedding anthology, out June 11th. I LOVE second chance romance and can't wait to read this. I love reunion romances.  I mean, really. Who doesn’t wonder what if about some old sweetheart?   Awhile back, I read a statistic that said that if a pair of former boyfriend/girlfriends meet many years later and both are single, they have a very high probability of getting Continue Reading
