Excerpted from my post at Cobblestone Press: Your Expectations

Romance is incredible isn’t it?

Both the genre, and romance in general. Being in love. Being romanced. Both are incredible in my opinion.

I’m always impressed by the depth and range of stories you can find within our genre and all the subgenres. There’s always something for me to read, no matter my mood. I appreciate that. I can find smart suspense, thrillers, romance that tickles my funny bone, feel good romance, hot steamy romance. Whatever I want. It’s there.

You know all this.

I’m also amazed with the wonderful, diverse population of folks who write romance. Lawyers, doctors, former military personnel, business professionals, teachers, professors, moms, and even dads.

Second Guessing Yourself

But every so often I come across a person who somehow makes me feel bad about my choice in reading and writing.

• 4 days till Power of Seduction release. Woo Hoo! #
• @adriannebrennan glad to know I’m not the only one counting down the days. #

• There’s a new wordfind on my website. http://tinyurl.com/57szxj #

For those of you who read Portrait of Seduction, you’ll be familiar with the characters (Other and human) in my new release Power of Seduction (available on Halloween). Readers said that the secondary characters needed their own story and that Portrait of Seduction could have been longer. Power of Seduction is a response to both points and I know you’re going to love the next step in the journey.

Power of Seduction will be released this Friday, October 31. Stop by Cobblestone’s website to get your copy: http://www.cobblestone-press.com

About the Book:

Tor Kemp is an executioner, not a babysitter. But his visions tell him that Cassidy Sinclair is in serious danger…and his visions are never wrong. She’s defenseless against a world she knows nothing about.

Cassidy has dreamed of Tor before. Unfortunately, he always leaves her unsatisfied. But in real life, satisfaction is guaranteed…until he vows to protect her.

Protecting her means keeping his hands to himself. But Tor quickly learns that every wolf has his breaking point.

Love,
Madison
