EVEN MORE TIME KISSED MOMENTS Is Here!

What happens when a ten-year anniversary edition becomes something more? While revisiting the Kiss Across Time series for a special collector release, Tracy Cooper-Posey found herself reflecting not just on the books, but on time itself, storytelling, survival, and the strange roads that lead writers to create the stories readers love. Kiss Across Memories is part memoir, part publishing notebook, and part behind-the-scenes look at one of Tracy’s longest-running series.

The Impossible Romance of Unrequited Love

In today’s world, where assertiveness is prized and self-expression is practically a life skill, the notion of someone being secretly in love and saying absolutely nothing about it feels… off. Unrealistic, even.

But for argument’s sake, let’s say such a person exists. Someone who loves another deeply, completely, without ever breathing a word.

Here’s the problem: how do you keep it secret?

Because real love, the kind that makes your pulse skitter and your heart do the stupid thing in your chest every time they walk into the room—that kind of love leaks.

It shows up in your eyes, your voice, your every bloody expression.

Smell the Coffee? What About That Turkey Stuffing?

Hot plum pudding with brandy sauce. Pumpkin pie, fresh out of the oven, melting into the custard. Home-baked cookies, or a cake cooling on the counter. You can smell them before you even see them.

Or maybe it’s red wine steeped with cinnamon and cloves—the siren song of mulled wine calling you home on a winter’s night.

Croissants in Paris, still warm, with real butter and even more real European coffee—dark, rich, and blessed with that smoky caramel scent you only get from beans grown halfway across the world.

Roasts. Gravy. Toasted bread. Spiced fruit. Deep-fried anything.

It’s Just A Job–Wood Elves (2024)

An update on the 2011 post Elves as they appear in modern fantasy fiction were plucked from Norse mythology, where there were High and Dark Elves, and the Dark Elves were the forerunners of Dwarves as we know them in fantasy fiction. But Wood Elves were not part of Norse mythology.  They have evolved from

Paranormal Women’s Fiction

Several months ago, on the Reader’s Hangout, there was a discussion about romances featuring older heroines. I ran a poll at the time, asking if readers would like to read romances that featured older women, as none of us is getting any younger. 🙂 Here’s the results of that poll: I took the results seriously,
