Maybe you don't need a kickass first line. Good to hear since I'm not good at first lines. I keep working and working at them, but the hooks elude me.

Heroes and Heartbreakers has a post on romances based on Astrology. Pretty cool! One of my plot bunnies features an astrologer heroine (based on Susan Miller of Astrology Zone fame) so I'm interested to see if this trend has legs.

Is Ghost Hunters fake?

Penny Watson on staying outside the box. This is a really cool post. People who write different (quirky!) book can be successful too. That's good to see.

I've Dated Several...

Zak Bagans discusses his love life and gives me a great idea for a book.

I've been wondering what to do about Caine, the leader of PRoVE, Banshee Creek's paranormal investigations group. He's a biker with a Ph.D. in Physics and he's super crazy and super smart. I wrote him in as a supporting character, but he's become a huge fan favorite and readers are already asking for his book. Like, as soon as he shows up on the page people start asking about his book. It's insane. It's also a problem because I never expected to write his book and I have no idea what his HEA would look like. Now, thanks to Zak, the plot bunnies are starting to breed.

This series of tweets from Karina Halle (@metalblonde) led to an hour of compulsive googling. Yes, exploding head syndrome is real. It happens to me and, honestly, I'd rather it be a ghost.
