Today is the second day of Children's Book Week and we're paying homage to Judy Blume.  (Laurie) As a young girl, I spent many hours in my local public library primarily doing one thing--reading. Since the kid's section was small I only had a handful of shelves to choose from so selecting time was brief. I read the classics from Little House On The Prairie , Pippi Longstocking , Black Beauty and many others. Then I discovered Judy Blume . Here was someone--finally!--writing TO me about me. Her characters sounded like me, thought the same thoughts, had the same feelings. I was amazed. How did one lady know all of this?

Taking The Challenge...by Jennifer Probst  Many months ago, I picked up a short erotic novella by Rebecca Royce entitled One Night With a Wolf . I loved the short sassiness and finished it in record time. Then discovered it was one in a Decadent series by various authors termed 1Night Stand. I quickly read a few more, then tweeted a few complements out to the world. A few authors popped up immediately and said I should write one for the series. I thanked them and went on with my work. But the idea intrigued me. So, I researched the line, read a few more, and brainstormed. I am rarely apt to dismiss a challenge. And when someone suggests I write something specific, I view it as a unique test to my writer’s ego. I took a week, brainstormed, and wrote the story. Contacted the savvy editor of the series. Waited. And sold. Now, things usually don’t happen that fast for me, but it was the right time and place and I was in between projects. A short, erotic series nibbled ...
