I’m sharing another excerpt from my latest release, Twice the Temptation, a MFM menage. I enjoy stretching myself as a writer and I hadn’t ever written a MFM menage before, although I love reading them. In this story, I wanted to explore how sexy consent can be, and of course, in a menage, it’s something […]

A. Catherine Noon here, signing off with my last post for the Valentine’s Day. I’d like to thank the lovely folks at The Romance Studio for hosting us. If you are a writer or reader of romance, you owe it to yourself to check out their site. They’ve got a lot of great stuff and […]
A. Catherine Noon here, and our Valentine’s Day party is coming to a close. But before we sign off, I wanted to talk about fantasy for a moment. We read romance for many reasons, among them is the hope that a happy ending is always at the end and that our characters, with whom we’ve […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! Do you know the history of this romantic holiday? If not, it probably won’t be what you think. I love the art in the Victorian era and the valentines were beautiful. I remember making my own valentines for friends and family when I was a child. I’m not sure many people do […]
Happy Valentine’s day! I finally got in the mood, after a fun date night last Saturday. I’ve got a great guy who sometimes drives me crazy, but mostly makes me happy. Even if you don’t have a significant other in your life, celebrate this day of love with yummy chocolate, a hot bath, a good […]
A. Catherine Noon here, wishing you a continued Happy Valentine’s Day. I thought we could turn our minds to our memories, and mine them for our favorite dates. One of mine was when we took a ghost tour in Galena, Illinois, several years ago. We met downtown and wandered around the outside of the buildings, […]
A. Catherine Noon here, wishing you a very Happy Valentine’s Day. When I was preparing my list of topics for the party, I got to thinking about romance – not because it’s Valentine’s Day, per se, but because we are all romance writers and readers, and this is the Romance Studio, after all! In writing […]
A. Catherine Noon here, wishing you a very Happy Valentine’s Day. Now, I know not everyone loves this holiday to bits. Maybe you think it’s just a “Hallmark holiday;” maybe you’re lovelorn and angry that the world seems to be having romantic twosomes and leaving you out in the cold. Whatever the reason, you’re not […]
A. Catherine Noon here, and it’s time to talk about the most serious subject of all: toys. I was reading a book by Julia Cameron recently, and she said offhand something about how even CEO’s close their doors and play “with the secret toys on their desks.” Boy, did that phrase jump out at me. Wouldn’t […]
A. Catherine Noon here, and it’s time to talk turkey. Well, not literally. But it’s definitely time to talk food. Specifically, food for those with whom we work or spend time with in large groups. Food has the capacity to bring people together, though food and humor are two things that don’t translate. Take peanut […]
A. Catherine Noon here, wishing you a continuing Happy Valentine’s Day! In honor of Monday being the traditional start of the work week, I thought I’d talk a bit about elevating our work. I came across a very simple saying or prayer in Sarah Ban Breathnach’s groundbreaking book, Simple Abundance: A powerful set of blessings that I […]
A. Catherine Noon here, with something a little different as we come up on Valentine’s Day. You know the old saying in English, “Actions speak louder than words”? Like so many of us, I’ve been watching recent events with a dawning horror and want to get involved. The first way was to knit so-called “pussyhats,” […]
A. Catherine Noon here, with my first Monday post of the day. I don’t know about you, but when Monday rolls around, I’m usually caught by surprise – even though Monday comes the same time every week. What is it about starting the work week that so discombobulates me? Even the full time homemakers I […]
A. Catherine Noon here, with my final post on a lovely sunny Sunday – and I have a very important topic for you: manners! It’s a natural outgrowth of my previous post, “The Power of Gratitude,” where we talked about keeping a gratitude journal and being thankful for the abundance in our lives. Next, though, […]
A. Catherine Noon here, wishing you a Happy Valentine’s Day. My theme today is related to things we might do on Sundays, and I want to take a moment to thank you for being here. And that’s my subject for today – gratitude. When we take a moment out of the hectic flow of the […]
A. Catherine Noon here, wishing you a Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you’re enjoying the party – and remember to enter our drawing in the right sidebar. Now, for our topic – my theme today has been on things to do on a Sunday. I’d like to touch on weekly reflection. As I mentioned in […]
A. Catherine Noon here, on a lazy Sunday afternoon in my part of the world. The sun is out, though it’s cold, and the animals are napping. Sunday, for many folks, is a day for contemplation – whether that be in a church or other place of worship. For others, it’s Saturday. Many, many spiritual […]
A. Catherine Noon here, wishing you a very happy Sunday in our continuing Valentine’s Day party. Did you remember to enter our Grand Prize drawing for an Amazon gift card for $100 USD? The link is in the right sidebar when you’re viewing this post on the web; just below it you can enter to […]
A. Catherine Noon here. Let’s get real, shall we? After the divorce, or the cancer, or the dysfunctional family, or the kids’ trouble, or any of a hundred other disasters, who’s there? Our friends. Gal pals. Sisters from other mothers. And they quite literally save our lives – studies show that women live longer than […]
Love is in the air, along with a whole lot of sexiness, with twelve of today’s hottest romance authors. Take a trip to the past with a vivid Civil War romance, or travel to the ranch to spend the holiday with a gorgeous cowboy. Whether they’re falling in love with zombies, or the boss is […]
A. Catherine Noon here, wishing you a Happy Valentine’s Day. I’m here to talk to you about puppy love. No, really. I love puppies. And kittens. I particularly love curling up on the couch with a kitten on my chest; my cat Nadya spent most of her kittenhood inside my pajama top. I know it’s […]
A. Catherine Noon here, and it’s time to talk about ourselves. Self-care, baby. It’s Valentine’s Day, the time we turn our thoughts about love – and self-love is one of the most important parts of that love. It’s like they tell you on an airplane: in the event of a loss of cabin pressure, put […]
A. Catherine Noon here, celebrating and wishing you a very Happy Valentine’s Day. What’s a traditional Valentine’s Day gift? Lingerie, right? So I figured, why not look up some awesome lingerie ideas? And then someone on my Facebook feed shared a doozie. (What? I was quickly checking Facebook in case something interesting happened… I can’t […]
A. Catherine Noon here, continuing our Valentine’s Day party. Now I don’t know about you, but I’ve been completely discombobulated with all the chaos going on in our national news here in the States. It’s been tough, for example, to write about Valentine’s Day – much less to want to celebrate it with my own […]
