Anita Blake. Eve Dallas. Buffy Summers and last but not least, Diana Reyes. What is it about these heroines that appeals to modern women? How do you create such a sometimes perplexing heroine and once you do, what do you do with her?

What does the well dressed Dominatrix wear? Black leather is required. Maybe even black vinyl. Stilettos or sexy thigh high boots. Chains, handcuffs, whips . . .
Did that wake you up this Friday morning?

So many of you have mentioned this hunk, that I had to pick him for this Monday’s Guilty Pleasure.
If I had to select someone who would play either Ryder Latimer (DARKNESS CALLS, DEATH CALLS) it would probably have to be Adrian Paul. Sexy and sensitive. A warrior and a lover. Woo . . . Getting a little warm here this Monday morning!
What do you think? Could Adrian be Ryder?
FYI — There’s another HIGHLANDER movie - HIGHLANDER: THE SOURCE - that’s supposed to be released in September of this year.
My friend, Dr. Charley Ferrer, invited me to do some quest spots on her television show, Caliente with Dr. Charley.
The first one was a show on Vampires and the second was all about ways to please your lover. The ways to please your lover show also included cover model cutie Bill Freda! You can check out the shows at the following links:

WOW! I’ve run across two amazingly wicked good reviews for BLOOD CALLS and I can’t wait to share them with you! And yes, this is tooting my own horn a bit, but these were just so wonderful that they made me smile and so I want to share that bit of happiness with you.
The first review is just so outright witty and sexy wicked, that I suggest you read through all the reviews at this site because they are outrageously funny and delightful.

This one’s for you Gretchen!
You probably know him better as Strongfellow Hawke from Airwolf. That was such a great show! I remember falling in love with him when I was a kid when JMV was in a Disney movie titled The World’s Greatest Athlete. For some reason, I remember JMV running against a bunch of athletes from Villanova, my alma mater.

April 26th: Join me at the Midnight Moon Cafe (where we’ll have some special prizes for you!)

My friend Marta Acosta has an awesome blog called THE BITING EDGE together with Mario Acevedo and Jeanne Stein. All three are fiction writers who’ve written vampire novels — just the kind of thing I love!
Marta was kind enough to interview me for THE BITING EDGE, so please drop by, check out the interview and the great blog!
With the release of BLOOD CALLS nearly here, I’ll be visiting a number of blogs to talk about the new novel in THE CALLING series as well as writing in general.
The first interview is up at The Dark Phantom . Please drop by!
There’s something wickedly interesting about wounded heroes. You know they’ve either been bad or have had something bad happen to them which makes them all that much more intriguing. Will they stay good or become bad again? Can they be trusted? So many more questions and things that you can do with them.
BLOOD CALLS is definitely all about wounded heroes. Diego Rivera was a Spanish Lord before his wife betrayed him to the Spanish Inquisition because he had been selfish and unfaithful. Ramono Escobar has had a hard life, including a stint in juvenile detention when she got mixed up with the wrong crowd after the death of her father and her mother’s illness.

No, you are not going crazy. There were posts the last two days only the server migration that I thought was over wasn’t and they’ve disappeared into the ether of cyberspace.
These things happen, so I’m going to try and recreate the posts today and tomorrow.
Wicked Wednesday was all about DESIRE CALLS, the free novella that’s up at eharlequin.com right now (you can click here to start the read!)

Today’s Tuesday Tip comes from Marta Acosta. I’ve been exchanging e-mails with Marta who is the author of Happy Hour at Casa Dracula. Happy Hour at Casa Dracula was a Book Sense Pick and Catalina Magazine’s Best Humor Book of 2006.
In April, Marta is releasing Midnight Brunch which continues the wildly comic adventures of Milagro de los Santos, Fancy University graduate who lives with a family of urbane vampires.
Marta was kind enough to offer some tips on writing humor, so here goes!
