Limp Husbands, Caged Birds, and why this woman needs a volunteer to take her to a strip club: an Inappropriate Interview with Author Kacey Shea.
Today I’m chatting with contemporary romance author Kacey Shea about life, love, strip clubs and her new book, Detour, which is coming out on June 1st… Olivia: Tell us something ridiculous about yourself?

Texas Men Love Romance Novels
“…then after my wife read Fifty Shades, she attacked me when I walked in the house. That book led to one of the best nights of my life. The next day, I went out and bought her the rest of the series.” The man sitting across from me, telling me this story, is retired military, […]
Sexual Innuendos, Haunted House Book Signings & please, No Coffee. – An Interview with Romance Author Betty Shreffler
This week I was super-excited to have a chat with romance author Betty Shreffler, where we discussed our shared joy for sexual innuendos, haunted house book signings, her new novel Fire On The Farm (A Second Chance Cowboy Romance), & her lack of enthusiasm for coffee (I know, when I heard this I thought we almost couldn’t be […]
Rottweilers, Force Fields, and other crap that’s holding us back in life.
Not only was my whole body shaking, but so was my voice. I tried to hold the microphone with two hands so it wouldn’t wobble. That didn’t work. And all these eyes were staring at me… waiting for me to say something. I had raised my hand, after all, knowing that I wanted to stand […]
Lustful Learning: Hot Professors and the students who want them
—– I’ve got a secret to share that you may or may not know… College students and professors sleep together ALL THE TIME. My first full-length novel, The Art of Hanky Panky, is about one-such-girl who gets involved in a very intense love affair with her art professor. It could be called a lust-affair. There […]
My uncensored opinion of the new Fifty Shades movie…
Sometimes I wonder if I’m a fruit loop floating in a world of cheerios. I just saw Fifty Shades Darker and [*gasp] enjoyed myself the entire time. The stretcher-bar scene in particular was shiver-inducing. I would watch it again just for that. (Wait, that’s a lie… there are so many other reasons I’d watch it again. […]
Writing a book sucks.
Most of the time, writing a book sucks. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. …okay, maybe on that one girl in 4th grade who tripped me and got mud all over my brand-new Lisa Frank trapper keeper… She can go ahead and try to write a book […]
“There were balls everywhere…”
— A Day in the Life of a Romance Writer. I was on my way to meet some fellow romance writers for a “work-date” (we were going to a bar to drink bourbon) when I saw dozens of red blinking taillights up ahead. “Great,” I thought. “There’s an accident, and now I’m going to be late for this crucial […]

One Word Mantra for New Year Resolutions
Everyone knows that resolutions are kind of a joke. Like when we get up in the morning and tell ourselves, “Today I’ll _______” (exercise for two hours, eat only vegetables, organize the closet, donate a kidney). It’s a promise filled with good intentions… that we never seem to stick with. Despite all the phony-baloney we […]
