Patricia Rosemoor -- Welcome to the Intrigue Authors Blog

The Intrigue Authors welcome you to our new blog pages. We're all new at this, so it may take some time to get going, but once we do, we hope you'll enjoy visiting on a regular basis.

I'm Patricia Rosemoor and I've been writing for Harlequin Intrigue since 1986. I was a prodigy, of course. I've always had a fascination for "Dangerous Love." I write various combinations of romance and suspense depending if I'm writing a Harlequin Intrigue or Blaze or Silhouette Bombshell.

One of the things that has always fascinated me is the "hero in doubt" -- you know, the guy who sends all kinds of thrills and chills to the heroine. She wants him but maybe he's not really a good guy . . .

How do you all feel about that kind of hero?

    Hello
    I'm Elle James, also an Intrigue Author. Unlike Patricia, I'm brand new at the Intrigue line! My first book with Harelquin Intrigue is tentatively titled SHADOWS OF THE MOON and it's based in the hill country of Texas. It's dark and shadowy with a gothic theme. It's due out in March 2006. In this book, my hero is definitely the hero, but I do also love the heros who might just be the bad guy!

  3. Hey, gang-- Julie Miller here.

    I'm a blog virgin (sounds like something medievel!), so I sure hope this shows up at the right place!

    I'm hip-deep in deadlines for the next few weeks, so I might not get to post much right away. Last month we had some bad storms come through central Nebraska and we took some damage to the house--so I've been doing clean-up, repairs, and spending lots of time on the phone! I had to get an extension on a deadline (my next PRECINCT book, featuring A.D.A. Dwight Powers!) that I'm finishing up--this weekend, I hope! But, of course, that creates a domino effect on subsequent deadlines, so I'll be playing catch-up to get things back on track.

    SEARCH AND SEIZURE (The Precinct in question) features two very nasty, vengeful villains and a couple of secrets I won't divulge here. Like Ann said, some villains just stay with you--and in this case, they really are driving the story. But I love the challenge that presents to the hero and heroine, and how much smarter, tougher, bigger, badder they have to be in order to uncover and defeat those bad guys. IOW, this book is really appealing to my dark side. Good catharsis!

    After this, I'll lighten things up a bit and work on my next Blaze--one with a military theme--BASIC TRAINING. It's a follow-up to my award-winning Blaze, MAJOR ATTRACTION. Yummy heroes!

    My next release, though, is a Signature Select anthology--CORNERED. Three suspenseful novellas by Linda Turner, Ingrid Weaver et moi. My story, "A Midsummer Night's Murder" was a grand adventure to write--sort of Agatha Christie meets Cliffhanger.

    Whew! Well, I can see this might become addictive fun. I'll try to be good, but I'm sure I'll be back soon. Thanks, Patricia, for getting us started!!

  4. Patricia! Well, in my dopey first post, I said I didn't know who had set this up. All I had to do was scroll down and see it was you! Thanks so much!

    (I think my computer age a few e-mails, the ones that first explained about the blog.)
