The writings and ramblings of Colette Saucier

Good morning, dear readers!   And happy holidays! We are having a special Monday edition of Coffee with Colette  this week ahead of Christmas Eve, and as I will be devoting most of the next two weeks completing TWO novels, I will not have any guests again until January 7th, 2014, as I must tear myself away from social media so as not to be distracted by - oh, was that a dragonfly? What better way to end the year than with fan-favorite, fellow Secret Cravings Publishing author Holly Jody Gill !   Just as I had wished when she last joined me in July, Holly is back to tell you about the Third Volume in her Desires series, Desires' Secrets ! Holly first stopped by in March to introduce Volume One: Desires , then this summer returned with Volume Two: Touching Angel's Desires ,  so be sure to check out those guest spots if you missed them or need to refresh your memory.  As always, Holly has brought you two excerpts: one in mild and another in extra spicy! That's the

Good morning, dear readers!   I always love having this fellow Austen Variations Author  join me for Coffee because I have the chance to get to know her better. My guest today is the beautiful Maria Grace , who stopped by for a Coffee visit in April to talk about her novels, her blackbelt (!), and hummingbirds. Chatting together, we find that we have more in common than we knew.  She and I are both Southern girls, and we had similar upbringings over which we can empathize!  Also, as followers of my Facebook page know, I have been suffering with a bout of writer's block, and like Maria, I have tried returning to pen and paper to get the creative juices flowing. I am inspired by her ability to break through the block - I only hope I don't have to run 50 miles to do it! (That's not happening!) Of course, we also share a love of all things Darcy!  Maria is back today to tell us where that hummingbird has led her next, and I know you will want to follow along (and you won

Good morning, my dear readers!    I admit, I have been a bad blogger as of late.  Last year I received one of those "Very Inspiring Blogger" awards. Now I should get a "Very Terrible Blogger" Raspberry. Fans of my Facebook Page follow the daily drama that is my life - although my mother-in-law says I primarily bitch about my day job and talk about drinking wine (I told her the two are not unrelated!). I even got my blog date for Austen Aut hors confused and had to  post something late and fast. I was dreadfully disappointed, too, because I thought my date was December 7th, and I was going to blog about the death of John Lennon on December 8th, 1980; but I suppose that has nothing to do with Jane Austen anyway! (I bet I could have found some sort of tie in...) Through it all, one Austen Variations Author , who I cannot believe to this day even knows I exist, has been amazingly gracious. Words cannot express how thrilled I am to host the gorgeous and talented K
