October 20th and there’s no doubt that Autumn is here. There’s even the odd report of the S word that ends in W. Yes. S-N-O-W.
Falling. On the ground in fluffy flakes or pelting down like sleet. (another ugly S word)
I enjoyed the sight of a golden yellow tree the other day…perfectly shaped and splendiferous in its Autumn coat. Two days later it was naked, and made me shiver for its bare, spare silhouette. Poor thing.
However, I do have an antidote for these upcoming chilly afternoons and evenings.
One Blaze Novel recipe:
Take one gorgeous man and a beautifully sexual woman
Add some conflict in doses both internal and external
Whip into a fun, exciting plot
Add one cup of tea, (C) (a glass of wine (D) or a mug of cocoa if tea isn’t your cuppa) take a couple of hours under a warm blanket with soft lighting at your shoulder and read.
Serves one (Can be stretched to serve a significant other if read aloud) (K) (L)
I don’t know that I’ve ever mentioned how much I love the Blaze Encounters. Short, hot, spicy enough to sting the tongue, the Encounters are short reads with connected stories. Right now, I’m reading Stephanie Bond’s Seduction By the Book. This is an idea that makes me smack my forehead and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?”(I)
I’m curious what our readers here think of the Encounters. Are they satisfying as romances or do they simply whet the appetite?

I’m not ready for snow yet, I’m still trying to cope with the coolr weather.
I really enjoy the encounters books. One of my favorites is Joanne Rocks’ Sliding into Home. I like the encounters because their shorter stories so when I don’t have a lot of time to read I can get a story in. I have Stephanie bond’s Seduction by the Book and Debbi Rawlins Texas heat on my list to read.
Nicole…is anyone but a skier ready for snow? Ever? But, it comes according to its own schedule. And this year’s seems plenty early!
I see you don’t need my recipe for warming your afternoon and evening, you’ve got your own!
Enjoy,
Bonnie
LOL — you had me so wondering what S word you were going to write about from your Tweet. *G* I didn’t even think of snow, my mind went immediately to the gutter.
I have to admit, I haven’t read an Encounters yet, but keep meaning to. I know I LOVE writing shorts, so maybe should try one.

Sam…perhaps you should slip an idea under your editor’s nose. I love writing short, too!
Bonnie
Bonnie, there is a note in your gmail, LOL.
And I think the only real way to deal with the S-word is taking those Blazes with me on a plane to somewhere with a beach! LOL

I enjoyed “Sliding Into Home,” too. It was my first Encounters, but definitely not my last. Sometimes short and sweet is just what I’m looking for.
