Today I welcome a friend who’s generously agreed to write a guest post to continue the discussion of Romance for Men! (Previous RFM post is here.) Please welcome author K.R.

I’m happy to finally unveil a project I’ve been working on for the last half year: a professionally narrated audiobook for Harpyness is Only Skin Deep. As my first published novel, Harpyness holds a special place in my heart, and I’ve always wanted to do an audiobook of it. The process started with narrator selection, … Read more
Today I thought I’d share a lively new online group I’ve gotten involved with over the past half year: Romance for Men. To begin with, about the name—the group welcomes everyone.

Hello friends! Thought I’d update you on all things Arvia. There’s big news on the horizon. Big, feathered news, if you catch my drift. Tales of Arvia (a.k.a. the Darinloh saga) will continue shortly. Also, Tales of Arvia 3 now has an actual name: Arvia: Heart of the Sky. My cover artist has done marvelous … Read more
For today’s mermaid week post, we have author SD Simper, who has created an entire trilogy with a mermaid theme. Let’s see what inspires her.
