By D’Ann Lindun, author of Wild Horses, Shot Through the Heart, Desert Heat, Cooper’s Redemption, and Mississippi Blues One year since I added the words “published author” to my name. D’Ann Lindun—published author. Kind of has a ring to it, doesn’t it? I like to think so. Becoming a published author wasn’t easy; it took me over twenty years of ink, sweat and tears. Lots of tears. But my crying is all in the past now. The only tears I cry now are of joy. Crimson took a chance on me—an ... Read more >

By Kristina Knight, author of What a Texas Girl Wants, What a Texas Girl Needs, The Saint’s Devilish Deal, and What a Texas Girl Dreams The poet Leigh Hunt once said, “Stolen kisses are always sweetest,” and I have to say…I agree. There is something undeniably sweet about that first peck on the cheek from a boy in fourth grade. Something a little bit dangerous about that kiss behind the bleachers after a football game in high school. And something so hot it makes your toes curl when that ... Read more >

By Lynn Cahoon, author of The Bull Rider’s Brother and The Bull Rider’s Manager 12 months 52 weeks 365 days 8,760 hours 525,600 minutes Okay, so you get my point. Last year, on June 4th, I joined the ranks of published authors. The Bull Rider’s Brother, my debut, was published by Crimson Romance. I remember the night I sent the query. It was Friday night and I didn’t expect to hear anything until the next week. An hour later, I had a request for the full. A week after that, my first offer of ... Read more >

By Alexia Adams, author of Singapore Fling Whenever I read author bios, I’m always impressed by those who knew they wanted to be storytellers early on in life. When I did my student aptitude test in school, the general conclusion was that I wanted to travel. So I became a secretary and worked my way around the world on my typing skills. It wasn’t what I really wanted to do for the rest of my life, but it was a means to an end. What I always have been is a reader. I love to lose myself in an engrossing story, ... Read more >

And a very happy birthday to Crimson Romance, which launched its first books on June 4, 2012. Firsts are always an important celebration, and to help commemorate ours, we asked our authors to tell us about how they first found out Crimson had accepted their manuscript. Screaming and crying? A common reaction in this rightfully emotional industry. Elizabeth Boyce (Once a Duchess) managed to calm her shaking fingers to call her husband, her mom, her best friends .. but none of them answered their phones. (Her sister ... Read more >

By Debbie Vaughan, author of Midnight Sun, Inc. — coming from Crimson Romance July 8, 2013 Tom’s Story: The Prequel to Midnight Sun, Inc. Chapter 3 Read Chapters 1 and 2 here! The more I learned from Mariska, the less I liked what I had become. Hatin’ her would come easy except she seemed to hate herself enough fer the both of us, which I found plumb peculiar. Even odder, was my body’s yen fer her. I couldn’t be anywhere’s near her without touchin’ or more. And while she was obliging, as my ... Read more >

By Peggy Bird, author of Beginning Again, Loving Again, Together Again, and Trusting Again Do you believe in love at first sight? I go back and forth about it. On one hand, it seems to me that the kind of love that gets you through not just the night but the bumps and bruises of life is built over time, in layers of trust, friendship, shared values and experiences. But I also know that the first layer, the foundation on which it all rests is often the sizzle at first sight, when you lock eyes with someone and ... Read more >

By Mari Manning, author of Holding Out for a Hero and Angel Without Wings As you (hopefully) know, I am a romance author. My publisher, Crimson Romance, has published two of my books so far, Holding Out for a Hero and Angel Without Wings. On June 4 Crimson will be one-year old. In honor of this occasion, I wanted to do something special, so I came up with three little poems in honor of the occasion. First up, a haiku. I wrote this one while on my deck. To my neighbors’ eyes, it looked like I was talking to ... Read more >
