Unridden Rated Orgasmic by Just Erotic Romance Reviews

You can’t please everyone. That is what I tell myself anyway. Then, sometimes, a reader or a reviewer really gets it. T. S. Peters from Just Erotic Romance Reviews really got UNRIDDEN. This reviewer got Jenna the heroine, as well as the hero and the story, which means more than I can say because so much of me is in Jenna. The mediocre writer whose career is dictated by forces outside of her control, who takes reviews and criticism too much to heart, who’s been more than once forced to turn to strangers for help only to have them turn into more in her life. The review is very long but more than worth the read, however I believe fair use laws only allow me to paste a bit of it here, not the entire thing. It can be found in full now in the JERR Newsletter (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/justeroticromancereviewsnewsletter/) available at their Yahoo group. It will eventually be posted at the JERR website, though there is usually a bit of a lag.

Random Thoughts & a New Hot Cowboy Free Read Posted

Today I celebrate the posting of my new free short story, the one I wrote about Chase, one of the side characters in UNRIDDEN (Book 1, Studs in Spurs series). My short, 8 SECOND RIDE, is in the All Romance eBooks .com Wildfire Newsletter. I’ve posted the link below. Today I also can’t help but ponder many things. There has been a firestorm of late in the romance industry, spurred by an RWA (Romance Writers of America) controversy regarding the legitimacy of ePublishing that encompasses both the authors and the publishers themselves. If you’re unaware of all the drama, count yourself lucky. I’ve spent far too much time and energy stressing about it myself. But I have to wonder, at a time when internet sources had been accurately reporting the death of Michael Jackson for hours while my respected ABC NY affiliate prime time TV news broadcast was still telling us he was only in a coma, when Twitter proved it could significantly affect a megagiant such as Amazon.com, when CA Governor Arnold has decreed CA’s textbooks will now be eBooks, how can any organization say that books delivered by the internet will NOT have a major place in the […]

LISTEN TO ME BEING INTERVIEWED FOR A CHANGE

I was interviewed by BookExpoAmerica (coming to NYC May 26th) about my writing, romance, the ARe radio show and the future of the publishing industry. The podcast is the first one up and posted on their site. It was interesting being on the other side of the interview for a change. He threw a few unexpected questions at me.Β  Here is the link (It’s under 5 minutes) http://bookexpocast.com/2009/04/30/cat-johnson-brings-whats-hot-in-romance-to-bea/?campaignid=61478732&iusercampaignid=50758788
