When I first created my Street Team, I wrote for new members a guide on how to write reader reviews. Of course, it hadn’t occurred to me that many readers love reading but are completely freaked out at the idea of writing, especially their own thoughts and feelings. That’s generally not an issue for me. […]

My entire family, except for one of us, went to see Rogue One on the same day. We didn’t go together and we didn’t discuss when we’d go, but on Christmas Day, we discovered that all but one (and you know who you are!) had coincidentally gone to see the movie on the same day. That

I’ve been reading science fiction for so long that my answer is a silent “d’uh!” However, since I started publishing science fiction romance in late 2015, I know I have converted quite a few romance readers to the charms of science fiction.
