What’s in a Name Anyway?!?

Sometimes weird thoughts just come creeping into my brain, ok, ok…not just sometimes, but that’s for another discussion. This one had to do with character names. It wouldn’t get out of my head, so of course what could I do but ask the peeps on twitter for their opinion…

O…Those Love Scenes…

Last week I shared some of my favorite kissing scenes in books and this time I wanted to share with you some of my favorite love scenes—scenes that make your blood pump fast in your veins…

To me a love scene doesn’t have to be detailed to be hot and sensual.

Booking Through Thursday

Do you find yourself thinking that the books you read would be good on film? Do you wish the things you watched on TV or in the movies were available as book?

Some really can’t be converted, of course, but some definitely can (and it’s not always the ones you think will work). There’s something to be said for different forms of media, but a good story is universal … or is it??

The Lure of the Great Alpha Male

Reblogged from Talk To The Shoe:

The Lure of the Great Alpha Male

© 2012 by Kat Bastion

We all want the Great Alpha Male.

The Alpha Male...

An alpha doesn't walk into a room.  He commands it.  Without effort, he could defeat every male there.  The intangible vibe pouring off those broad shoulders announces the danger louder than a bull horn.

I've talked about my love of literary Alpha males before. This post by Kat is fabulous! My favorite Alpha males in books? Gabriel Emerson, Christian Grey, Gideon Cross, and Jericho Barrons.
