Around the Bookish World: Week-In-Review
Welcome to this week’s news post! For this edition, we have long anticipated cover reveals and title from Nalini Singh’s Psy Changeling series, as well as Ilona Andrews and Sylvia Day.
First up! John Scalzi has announced he is stepping down as SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) President later this year. However author, Jim C. Hines, has posted that already two authors have chucked their hats into the ring for the presidency, while Steven Gould looks like a good candidate, the other potential is Theodore Beale who is also known as the controversial blogger and writer, Vox Day who is behind some pretty sexist and trolltastic articles on women, which Jim has summarised and linked here. It will be interesting to see how this contest will go.
And mentioning Jim C. Hines, he has also spoken about the financial realities in writing genre fiction, which isn’t that profitable. Along …

Romance and Me: The Office Romance
Hey Everyone!
In today’s post I’d like to talk to you about another trope I like a lot: office romances!
There is just something so exciting about having colleagues, or a boss and his/her employee try to fight their attraction and then sneak around trying to keep their relationship secret 😀 For me “office romances” don’t necessarily mean the hero and heroine have to work in an actual office/boardroom, I expand this category to any two people working together and falling in love: they could be co-workers in a hospital, bartender and restaurant owner, wedding planner and cameraman, etc. My only requirement is that somehow their meeting was due to them having to do work together.
When thinking of the different “office romance” stories I looked through the books I’ve read and made a compilation of the office romance books I have …

Guest Post by Heather McCollum + Giveaway
Good morning, book lovers! This morning I hope you’re ready to take your romantic hearts back to a time long past, to place where honor was strong, and passion was stronger–that’d be the 16th century Scottish highlands of Heather McCollum’s HIGHLAND HEARTS series! We’re pleased to welcome her today to tell us a bit about what captures (and challenges) her about writing the stories in this exciting series. Let’s give her a warm BLI welcome.
————————
Thank you so much for having me here today! I’m very excited to talk a little about Highland Heart (HH), my short novella that was just released by Entangled Publishing. HH is set in 16th century Scotland, fifteen years before my full-length novel Captured Heart (CH), even though it was written after it.
Yes, HH is a short novella. After I had finished writing CH, my wonderful agent found an opportunity …
