For Jewel Blaine, the spotlight and her fans are all the
family she'll ever need. She is the star of the popular
daytime soap The Proud and the Passionate, after all. After
a high-profile breakup, Jewel has come up with her own call
sheet: no romantic entanglements with cast members,
producers and especially directors. But when the stage
lights dim, Jewel secretly yearns for a sexy leading man to
costar in her real life. Rugged, handsome Taye Elliott is new on set at P&P— this
time behind the camera. Trained as a stuntman, but always
with an eye on directing, Taye knows this is his big break.
And he needs P&P's leading lady to trust him. But Jewel
thinks he's better off pretending to break legs than really
calling the shots. Taye's never shied away from a challenge
and he's certainly not going to now. He's perfecting the
scene of a lifetime—to direct Jewel on-screen…and love her
off of it.

Re: Spotlight On Desire
I like finding the title in a book. It's kind of like a puzzle.

"tying the title to the story in subtle, yet evident ways -- Yes, I know a lot of readers eagerly search the pages of a book to locate the spot where the title makes its appearance." Huh? People really, actually do that?!? I'd never heard of that, let alone done it!! Hmmm. The things I learn reading blog postings!
Later,

Is it easy to ignore 'tempting' sideline characters when you are writing a romance? Do they end up getting a book of their own?
(Rosemary Krejsa 12:19pm June 11, 2009)
I agree with Judy - I like finding the title - but I like it to sneak up on me - find it when I'm least expecting to find it!

That is why the series books are such fun. Don't toss tempting story threads aside - Have colored folders and put them in there to become a story of their own.

It's really interesting what you say about the differences in the writing you were able to do before and the demands of the romance now. I was just thinking along the same lines after rereading the "Stephanie James" title "Fabulous Beast" by Jayne Ann Krentz. The heroine was very interested in medieval bestiaries, and as a result, I was able to learn new very intriguing snippets of information about the subject. I also felt sad that there are few books like that anymore.
I am also usually very conscious of the language used and find that there has really been a dearth of good writing in a lot of the books now being published. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but I really prefer a little more meat in my books--even if they do take me longer to read.
Have you always written as Anita Bunkley?
As for titles, I used to mark (very lightly) where in the book the meaning of the title was revealed. That was so much more interesting than reading a book called "The Billionaire Arabian Prince's Twin-Carrying Mistress." lol

Looks like a fun read.
