Okay, okay I’ll confess—I have a thing for guys with a naughty sense of humor. The raunchier the better in some cases. I like a man who can be a bit of a tease and I think most romance readers are in the same boat as I am. We want a man whose jokes are a little bit risqué and can be taken a couple ways (and one of those ways always involves getting naked).

There’s only one problem with this for me. In my current Speak of the Devil Series (Book 1: Luck of the Devil was released in August of 2011) my hero is a straight laced angel. He’s not uptight. He’s not stuffy. And for the record he’s sexy as hell in my opinion. All messy dark hair and big white wings wrapped in a studly lawyer body. But now, writing the third book I’ve noticed something that come to think of it...

From Matthew Belinkie at Overthinking It, a compilation of classic declarations of love. Some wonderful films, some that are less than wonderful, and special mentions to the clip from Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World and the upside-down kiss between Peter and MJ from Spider-Man.

Rats. I have to go home. Well, not entirely rats. I miss Richie. I need to return to reality. But I love being with my sisters so much. And lest you think it all fun and games, we’ve each had a mini-breakdown, with tears and vulnerability.
I should mention there’s one topic we don’t talk about here, and that’s the business of publishing, the insanity of careers. This isn’t about Anne Stuart or Lucy March or Jennifer Crusie. It’s about Krissie and Lani and Jenny (oh my).
We did our podcast, which was just a lot of silliness which you’ll probably find completely boring, but Alastair of the Attic will put it into useable shape and we’ll give you a link, just so you can compare our laughs.

I may not have a significant other to share my Valentine's Day with, but I have something that might be even better...

LOTS and lots of wonderful folks who come here, follow me on Twitter and Facebook, read (and sometimes even buy) my books, and generally support me in a thousand little ways.

Big Valentine kisses go out especially to the lovely Heather Long (who helped me set up and run the new workshop loop), my agent Elaine Spencer (who works tirelessly to move my writing career forward), Elysia Gallo (best editor on the planet), and Lisa DiDio, best critique partner on the planet.

And many heartfelt thanks to you, my readers. Without you, there would be no point in writing.

Will you be my Valentine? Please say you will!...
