Intro | Part One * * * * * What are you reading these days? Or, what types of things do you like to read when you have time? I read a variety of things, but I generally stay away from books in the genre that I write–namely, at this time, vampire books. I like [...]
by Colleen Gleason Rises the Night isn’t just the second installment of Colleen Gleason’s series about Victoria Gardella, slayer of vampires and wearer of lace and corsets, it’s also the second novel in this period that I’ve read and enjoyed, and it’s all because Gleason manages to make her characters ride the edge between being [...]
by Colleen Gleason I’m not a huge fan of the Regency period, and especially not a fan of Regency romances. All those demure teas and heaving bosoms tend to cause a lot of eye-rolling around here.
