Who is Beth Kery? Give us the low down. I’m a longtime reader who just thought—for some random reason—I could write romance novels. I actually have another profession besides author. I’m a longtime urbanite, and love the city, museums, the theatre and diversity. I really do love art, which is why you see artists popping up in my books a lot. I’m living vicariously, as even my stick figures are indecipherable. I also grew up a small town girl, however, so you often get a blend of city and small Continue Reading

Who is Tiffany Reisz. Give us the low down. Hi! I’m Tiffany Reisz! I live in Lexington, Kentucky with my boyfriend Andrew Shaffer (also a writer, God help us). I’m short and weird and kinky and surprisingly well-adjusted. I started out as a smutty fan fic writer. When people started naming their pets after my Continue Reading

Interview with Erin McCarthy
Helyce has a chat with Erin McCarthy whose latest book, Jacked Up releases today. Tell us a little about yourself? Who is Erin McCarthy? I'm just a small town girl, living in a lonely world... Actually, I'm a bona fide city girl, mom and author, who knows way too many eighties song lyrics. :) How did you come up with a story that revolves around race car drivers? Are you a NASCAR fan? I was not a NASCAR fan. I am now. The series came out of a writer friend and I on a Continue Reading

I’m so happy to have Kaki Warner at Smexy Books today. Both of her western historical trilogies are favorites of mine. Tomorrow, Bride of the High Country releases. Who is Kaki Warner? Give us the low down. Ah…my least favorite subject. I guess I would describe myself as a late bloomer baby boomer and twenty-five-year overnight success, because after piddling around with writing for a quarter century, I finally got serious about it after I retired. I now live in a remote area on the eastern Continue Reading
Interview and Giveaway with Nalini Singh
We are happy to have Nalini Singh at Smexy today to talk about her latest release, Tangle of Need. I really enjoyed how you explored how challenging it is for Riaz that his wolf has found its mate, but circumstances in life don’t always allow the mating process to be an easy one. Please give us some more insight into writing Riaz and Adria’s story. It was a wrenching emotional journey, and it was also a process of discovery. As Riaz and Adria learned about one another, so did I – they were Continue Reading
Interview with Karen Hawkins
We are happy to have Karen Hawkins with us today, to celebrate her latest release, The Taming of the Scottish Princess. The opening scene of this book (The Taming of a Scottish Princess) did such an amazing job of setting up both our story, and perfectly showing us Jane and Michael on the cusp of a new romance. Between her practical gown that was unsuitable for the occasion and his whistling at her so she didn’t have to wonder where he was – I was hooked from the start. What was your Continue Reading

Interview with Shana Galen and Giveaway
May: Shana Galen is an author that I discovered by taking a chance on a book that sounded like my kind of story. A man and his wife are both top spies, neither knowing about the other’s activities or secret identity. I ended up to be the one with a surprise in store, as Shana Galen’s Lord & Lady Spy ended up being one of my favorite books of 2011. I’ve gone back into her back-list and found some treasure, including a trilogy that was not yet complete. It’s been a long time in the making, Continue Reading
