Romancing the Romance Author

02/19/2017 By Danielle Bienvenu

So you want to romance a romance author... Good luck. No really, good luck. We can be cynical or down right mushy--- both of which may be hard to take. There are a wide range of romance authors out there. I'm a dramatic, comedic, sarcastic one which is an odd combination in itself. If you want to impress us, you need … [Read more...]

Writing Inspirations

01/09/2016 By Danielle Bienvenu
