Welcome to the Corral! Where the Gal Pal's talk about anything and everything. You can take a dip in the Hot Tub, try your luck on the Mechanical Bull, watch the boys show their stuff in the rodeo ring, take a rest in the bunkhouse or the hayloft, enjoy the water park and privacy cabanas or dance the night away in the barn. Something's always happening in the Corral, so grab a cowboy and join in!

 Go to the previous corral here.

It's not just the size that makes a Superromance super. It's not even just the down deep plots or the characters with real conflicts and real, serious problems on their hands. Running the gamut from contemporary comedy to heart-rending family drama, what makes a Super so incredibly super is that we get six of them every month and we're the happiest campers on the planet because the satisfaction is that good! So if you've been "super-ed", pop on in and share the love!

Female readers who enjoy reading Lori Foster, Emma Holly and Zane will love the erotic fiction of Spice. (And make no mistake - with its engaging story lines and involving characters, this is erotic fiction, not erotica)

Add some SPICE to your life.

The Cosa Nostradamus is in disarray; the Truce holding violence in check has been broken. Magical Manhattan is at war, and Wren Valere is left without her partner/lover Sergei, whose past loyalties keep him from her side just when she needs him the most.

Hoping to keep herself occupied, Wren takes a job— but what should have been an ordinary Retrieval instead forces her to realize that it is time to do more. It is time for the Cosa to take the battle to the enemy.

But she'll do it her way. The Retrievers' way. Sneaky, smart—and with maximum damage possible. What was lost will be found, what was stolen will be Retrieved. And this war will be ended, once and for all.

Wren Valere always finishes the job. Always.

From 31st April - 4th May, Romance Slam Jam will take place in Chicago at the Wyndham O'Hare.

Of course, your roving reported Hosty Wayne will be there to give you daily reports on the action...and there will be action of all kinds..

Several of the Kimani authors will be there, so expect to get lots of news (and gossip)....

The Bat Dame thinks there's a need in the community to have a place, besides SubCare, where writers can go to moan and whine in the darkness. A glum place. A place to feel subdued, humbled-by-the-process, hopeless (not that SHE feels this way).

So lower yourselves to the deepest, ugliest pits. Only then can you be uplifted to superhero status (aka published). For darkness can't exist without light, hunger without satiation, sadness without joy, despair without hope.

Here is the place for the equal and opposite reaction. 

To new bats, we understand the cave is a confuzzling place. Bats speak a
furrin language, say and do the opposite of what they mean - they
unwelcome new folk, unhug each other )))like this((( and sound as if
they are completely crazy. Witch they are.

Howsomever, it's a good kind of crazy. The kind that supports and helps
other bats through the bad times, and razzes them through the good
times. Bleeds and prays for hurting bats, cries with sad bats, and
suitably chastises happy bats. Got all that?

Posting smilies, cleaning the cave and letting in sun is against the
spirit and purpose of the cave. We need dark. We need gloom. We can't
get it anywhere else. Nor can we beech and moan anywhere else. This is
our cave-from-home.

So make yourself at cave here, beech and moan about your writing and
your life with the rest of us, and before you know it, you'll wonder how
you got along without bats. Or we got along without you.

All unclear now? Ungood. Fwap in and pull up a stalactite.

The Rules are very simple --

Type the name of a song with the artist who sang it using a word from the previous post..

For Example:

Can't  Stop This Thing We Started by Bryan Adams
Don't  STOP by Fleetwood Mac
Over My Head by FLEETWOOD MAC

Words that are not allowed are "the, and, a" to tag the former post. They are words that are too easy to use.

It's okay to add or take away "s" or "ing" from main words

Kathleen Long introduces her suspenseful new Body Hunters miniseries for Harlequin Intrigue with Positive I.D.

When he learned his very own daughter had gone missing, agent Will Connor instructed his covert team, the Body Hunters, to stop at nothing to find the girl-and it forced him to reunite with his "widow," Maggie. Although Maggie's anger was evident, so was the passion that had always existed between them. With the clock ticking, finding their daughter was top priority, but rekindling what he'd once shared with Maggie was critical to their future. Suddenly "till death do us part" had a whole new meaning, for nothing else would tear him away from his family a second time around.

About the author:

After a career spent spinning words for clients ranging from corporate CEOs to talking fruits and vegetables, Kathleen now finds great joy creating a world of fictional characters, places and plots. After tucking away her writing goals until her first daughter taught her that life is short and dreams are for chasing, Kathleen is now the award-winning author of breathtaking romantic suspense for the Harlequin Intrigue line

Along with her husband, infant daughter and one very neurotic Sheltie, Kathleen divides her time between suburban Philadelphia and the New Jersey seashore, where she can often be found with hands on keyboard—bare toes in sand—weaving tales. After all, life doesn't get much better than that.
