These are the...
Maestros of Modern Romance
A couple of years ago, I started an Interview Blog.
Classic eighties salsa-dance with
"Modern Romance" on BBC's once-compulsive, now-ridiculed,
Top Of The Pops
It wasn't intended to be an interview blog and I have no idea how it transformed into one, but it worked.
Published each Wednesday, The Wizard's Cauldron showcases Independent, Imprint, E-pub and Small Press talent.
Each month, more and more people read the Cauldron's interviews.We are up to 77 chats and sometime in July, we will publish our Centenary edition. I am going to invite someone very special for that one.
Post-Christmas Chickliterati
This past month has been a good one. Following the Matt Posner interviews, we've been concentrating on chicklit and romance - again, how that happened is another head scratcher inspired by the social networks of which we all form a node.
But it's been great fun and as a tribute (and an ongoing series), this Catalogue Post summarises what we've been doing and a little of what we are going to do in the future. These ladies cover all aspects of romance, from historical, through paranormal, to High Heels on the High Street. Romance readers will love their work.

Remember: Each time you buy a book by a rich and famous author for a dollar/quid at Wal-Mart/ASDA, you stop fiction moving forward.
They don't need the money. We do. There are some superb writers interviewed who need the exposure and the sales they deserve. Here are just a few of them.
