I’d heard the rumors — I’d been mangafied, but I didn’t believe it until a day or so ago I got a package from Harlequin. Inside — the Japanese comic book version of MORE THAN A MISSION. This is the beautiful brightly colored cover. I love the heroine’s eyes and that blond emo-style hair on Aidan. Continue reading “Thoughtful Thursday – Comics and Kid Sisters”
Tuesday Tip – Surveys and a call for help!
For a number of years, I’ve done workshops on the state of Latino fiction and as I am going to be doing a number of talks on this topic in the coming year, I wanted to update some aspects of the discussion. It occurred to me that it might be good to broaden the fact-finding to include various kinds of multicultural fiction and not just Latino fiction.
Armed with that intent, I’ve developed a survey (click here to access the survey) as a way of allowing you to offer your opinions on the state of multicultural fiction today. As the survey is intended to reflect current publishing trends, I am asking only published authors or those with books that are to be released shortly, to offer their comments on the survey.
As this is my first attempt at a survey of this nature, I also beg your indulgence if it’s lacking in any way.
Here’s a link to the page with the survey: https://www.caridad.com/state-of-multicultural-fiction/
Feel free to share this link with any other authors that you think might be interested in offering their opinion on this topic.
Thanks so much!

Silly Sunday – A tale of widgets and wonkiness
My friend Lois Winston and I spent Friday and Saturday driving to and from Rhode Island where we met the wonderful Rhode Island Romance Writers. It was a blast meeting these delightful women and talking with them about writing. We had lively discussions and great food. The only wonkiness to the whole event was the remnants of Hurricane Noel which hit us on the ride home. Even my low-slung Sebring convertible wobbled with the strong blasts of wind hitting the coast!

They say confession is good for the soul, but have you ever confessed a secret and ended up feeling worse than before? What kind of secret was it?
