Just because one has some skillz in one area doesn't mean one is skilled at all creative endeavors.

Romantic Times Conventioneers: Heads Up!

noreply@blogger.com (Keri Stevens) — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:26:00 +0000

This, I promise you, will be the hip-hop-happeningest time at the 2012 RT Convention:

Carina Press Romance Bingo

(FRIDAY, 1:30-2:30pm) Get your daubers ready! The pace will be fast, the competition intense, the prizes irresistible and the romance phrases … a bit on the cheeky side, as Angela James and Carina Press authors act as callers for a bingo game like none you’ve ever played.

Hosts: Angela James (editorial director, Carina Press), Zoë Archer, Adrienne Giordano, Nico Rosso, Keri Stevens, Shelli Stevens

I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to this. I think I was Cleopatra's Bingo Caller in a former life.

Want to freak me out? At Brynna Curry's blog, IN SHADOWS I tell you the secret to making me scream (um...in terror.)

Remembering Letters

noreply@blogger.com (Keri Stevens) — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 11:08:00 +0000

I've written them. I've gotten them. But not often in the last few years. Today at Everybody Needs A Little Romance, I blog about real, honest-to-goodness letters.

Kiss Me or Kill Me?

noreply@blogger.com (Keri Stevens) — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 10:01:00 +0000

Is there a book in you? I talk about the transition from reader to writer at Everybody Needs A Little Romance today (and post unflattering pictures of myself. Get 'em before they're gone.)

I am Wise in my Wiseyness

noreply@blogger.com (Keri Stevens) — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 17:49:00 +0000

A fellow local writer, Jason Rust of Puddintopia, invited me to blog today. He's given me the warmest welcome EVER and made me feel like the Queen of All Knowledge Book-Related. I'm still cracking up. In any case, please come say hello to my neighbor and me!

Congratulations, Nikki!

noreply@blogger.com (Keri Stevens) — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 10:19:00 +0000

One of my favorite book bloggers, Nikki Brandyberry, has crossed the 6-digit hit mark at her blog, Ramblings from a Chaotic Mind!

I'm honored that she invited me to help celebrate! Comment on her interview of me by August 26, 2011, and you may win a FREE copy of Stone Kissed.

What's in a Name?

noreply@blogger.com (Keri Stevens) — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 10:13:00 +0000

So...I have certain hangups, and I discuss one of them here at Everybody Needs a Little Romance today. Please stop in and say hello!

In Which I Am Accused of Piracy.

noreply@blogger.com (Keri Stevens) — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 14:18:00 +0000

I invited Teri Anne Stanley to Verona with the best intentions. I intended to show her this:

But I got a little carried away. We had a slight misunderstanding.

On her blog, she makes the heinous accusation that I am a "pirate." Please go defend my honor.

Book Camp part deux

noreply@blogger.com (Keri Stevens) — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 03:55:00 +0000

I'm at Everybody Needs a Little Romance today with part two of my 3-part series on my experiences at the RWA national conference. Stop by and say hi, please!

(And if you missed part 1...here you go!)

Katiebabs gets it right

noreply@blogger.com (Keri Stevens) — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 19:29:00 +0000

I'm loving reading all of the different blogs on the RWA 2011 experience. Some people had a very different conference from me. Katiebabs at Babbling about Books and I crossed paths a few times, moving tangentially to each other, but never quite hitting. Next time were at conference together, I'm fixing that.

Her conference sounds a lot like mine, and her take on the vibe this year was spot on. http://kbgbabbles.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-final-thoughts-on-2011-rwa-national.html

Shiloh, When I Was Young...

noreply@blogger.com (Keri Stevens) — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 20:27:00 +0000

The amazing Shiloh Walker welcomes me today to guest post on her blog. Come over and say hello!

(I hope she doesn't hate that song. It's my favorite Neil Diamond song. I love when he wails "SHILOH" at the end. Don't you?)

It's Jade Lee's fault. Or Dr. Stevens's. Or maybe they conspired...

noreply@blogger.com (Keri Stevens) — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 10:49:00 +0000

How Jade and the good doctor are to blame for what I am today:
