Welcome to another round of Snippet Saturday! Today the theme is first kisses. Brynn’s imagined a few of them, and in this snippet you can judge for yourself if reality is better than fantasy. (I think she’d say yes.) * * * If there’s one thing that Brynn Adler hates, it’s feeling... Read more

Something weird happens with the space-time continuum when you get into publishing, I swear. After Bree and I sold our first book, things just slowed to a crawl. We had plenty of things to work on, so we kept ourselves busy, but it took six months (minimum) for our first three books to release. In... Read more

I have been in a major reading phase lately. Not that this is unusual, I always love to read, but I will admit that a lot of times I read for comfort, and sometimes that means breaking out the old favorites. When I was struggling to finish my B.S. in Computer Science I only read new books by my very... Read more

A few days ago Donna & I got an email letting us know that our books had been added to Story Casting, a website I think is just full of entertaining potential.

Some people look at the number of words Bree and I kick out and think we must be very efficient. They assume that being a team means we must run at twice the normal speed, logging in words double-time. Unfortunately, that’s not really the way it works. “How do you guys write?” ... Read more

I’m constantly asking people for book recommendations on twitter. It’s not really the most effective tactic to ask people at random to be honest, because I have very quirky but eclectic taste.
