FREE paranormal story at Romance in the Backseat

A bunch of paranormal romance authors, including myself were asked to contribute to a "round robin" short story at www.romanceinthebackseat.com. So far, the story includes a vamp, werewolf, fallen angel, dragon, zombies, and a kick-ass heroine. There's no telling what the next author in line will come up with.

FREE PARANORMAL ROMANCE STORY!

I just submitted my contribution to the tale, and it should be posted soon. Stop by and enjoy!

Slumdog Millionaire

Just got done watching Slumdog Millionaire. I totally see why this movie won - what was it - 8 Oscars? It was a sad, disturbing film in many ways...but after we finished watching it, my hubby and I turned to each other and had the same thought. The movie actually makes a point...every event in your life, even awful ones, can have a purpose of some sort. Even if we don't always know what that purpose is at the time. (often, we don't) Now, if only all the crappy things I've dealt with in my life were leading me to a lottery win...hmmm...come to think of it, I haven't checked my last couple tickets!

Romance Sales are on the RISE!

Good news for those of us writing in the genre. And according to this NY Times article, paranormal elements are in high demand. Even better!

READ ON...

Looks like I'd better polish all those proposals I have lingering on my desk and get them to my agent. I've got some more books to sell!

Media Coverage of TARA Border's Book Signing

Lots of cool folks came out for the recent TARA Borders book signing in Tampa. One such was writer Julianne Draper from The Examiner. She was a joy to meet and talk to, and wrote this lovely and fun article about her experience. Enjoy!
