The Tropical Romance Book Club welcomes Roslyn Carrington
The Tropical Romance Book Club is my project to literally expand my reading horizons by trying books by authors from and set in countries between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. After reading One Night at the Palace Hotel, set in the Philippines, and interviewing the author Bianca Mori, I shifted hemispheres to read books set in Trinidad and Tobago by Roslyn Carrington, written under her romance pseudonym, Simona Taylor. Mesmerized is a romantic suspense novel following two American expat oil and gas industry workers during a political crisis on Trinidad, and Everything to Me is a Harlequin Kimani category romance starring a music producer and music journalist attending a major international jazz festival on Tobago (where they find themselves staying at a sexy couples resort). Roslyn Carrington has graciously agreed to talk about her romance experience with me.

Talking with Loreth Anne White at #RWA18
I caught up with Loreth Anne White at RWA and was, honestly, kinda thrilled. I’ve been a fan of her books for almost as long as I’ve been reviewing. (If you like romantic suspense and haven’t read her Angie Pallorino series, you’re missing out.) […]
Chatting with Teri Wilson at #RWA18
It’s always a joy to meet new authors at RWA. We’d chatted with Teri Wilson whose first trade paperback with Gallery Books, The Accidental Beauty Queen, will come out this December. Wilson says the plot is romance catnip: Miss Congeniality meets The Parent Trap. […]
Chatting with Rachel Grant at #RWA2018
The best part of RWA’s annual conference is, for me, getting to talk with authors I love. I’ve been lucky enough to have lunch with Rachel Grant the past few RWAs we’ve both been at. This year, we had so much fun that I forgot to take a picture of her. So you’ll have to settle for this picture of the fried pickles–they were delicious–which Rachel took to send to Erica Ridley who, I hear, has a thing for fried pickles. […]
Chatting with Elizabeth Kingston at #RWA18
The best part of RWA’s annual conference is, for us, getting to talk with authors we love. Elizabeth Kingston’s books get high marks from us so we were excited to ask her what she’s writing next. […]
PROMISE ME A DREAM: The Struggle Continues by Wayne Jordan
For me, 2018 was going to be an exciting year. Back in 2016, I pitched an idea to a few of my author friends. The concept was not original. Harlequin had done in years ago. However, my perfect series would be slightly different. While each story would be set in a decade of the 20th century, plus the first two decades of 21 century, the main characters would be black, and the stories would focus on the black experience during that decade.

Chatting with Kelly Bowen at #RWA18
The best part of RWA’s annual conference is, for us, getting to talk with authors we love so natch we enjoyed catching up with Kelly Bowen. (Ms. Bowen has received seven DIK reviews from AAR.) […]
