(Parts of this were originally published on March 28, 2013) Trope: The Lost Lenore Description: The Lost Lenore is a dead love interest of one of the main characters. Not only is she dead, her absence has a profound effect on the character for the rest of the work, to the point where it influences […]

Yup, you can keep your minds in the gutter, because this post is about exactly what you think it’s about: which characters dominate your sex scenes? As I was chugging along on A Flame Among the Stars, I started thinking about how in most romances, one half of the couple is usually more forward or […]

We’re well into October, and everywhere I look, people are embracing the Halloween season. Honestly, I don’t have strong feelings either way about Halloween. I mean, it’s fun enough, but I was never the type to go completely crazy over it. And I’m old enough to think having leftover candy in the house is more […]

I’m still happily chugging along on Elemental Forces. I passed the 20K word mark and have plenty of story left to tell. While I don’t have a firm word count estimate just yet, this is shaping up to be the longest book I’ve written in quite some time. Believe it or not, I don’t have […]

I’m never one to pass up jumping on a good bandwagon. Writing/blogging buddies Krystal and Michelle recently made great posts about going back to their old writing projects and critiquing their opening lines. They were a ton of fun to read, and I also never shy away from self-deprecating humor, so I figured I’d have […]

Spring is here! What better time to share our favorite reads for the season? Join in and tell everyone about what new reads you’re excited about! For my stop on the hop, I’m giving away an e-copy of Elysium. The book takes place in the spring, and for good reason—themes include new beginnings, taking a […]

I’m knocking out the next installment in this series because I just got a big, obnoxious assignment at work that is going to suck up a lot of time and energy for the next week, so I’m using the rest of tonight to pretend it doesn’t exist. (But it should pay reasonably well, so silver […]

 It’s blog hop time again! Welcome to my spot along the Smexy Romance Blog Hop and Giveaway! We’re all posting super-steamy excerpts today, along with offering opportunities to win some great books. Elysium has been out for about a year now, and it still remains one of my favorites of all my book-children. To celebrate […]

Me, I have two titles out with DP and one on the way. To recap, here are the covers, blurbs, and some excerpts: Anna’s career […]

Eeep, it’s been a while since I checked in over here. Between promoting Elysium, gestating these twins, and actually getting some writing done, it’s been a busy time in the Landen house! So today I’m totally going to take the slacker route and point you in the direction of my featured post over at All […]

It’s release day, yaaaay! I really can’t say it enough, Elysium is one of the best stories I’ve ever written, and I am so very in love with this entire project, from the first flash of an idea to the gorgeous cover design. I’ve already shared the blurb, so today I’m posting the official excerpt: […]

And I am completely in love with it. Still waiting on a release date (maybe March?), but for now, the cover is enough to make me squee like a little girl. A funny thing happened as I worked on the final edits for Elysium – I got my writing mojo back. Don’t get me wrong, […]
