Karen Kelley Contest

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Fellow Brava author Karen Kelley is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. She’s funny, a bit kooky and great fun. She’s also a talented writer. Her newest book is COSMIC SEX - and how is that for a title. As you can probably tell, this one is a bit…otherworldly. [...]

Must Buy Book

Friday, February 1st, 2008

I had a WOW! cover experience over a book yesterday. The WOW! was not for a cover of mine. It’s for a book by Karen Kendall. The book is Take Me If You Can. It comes out in April, which is perfect because I have a book due March 15th and plan [...]

New-To-Me Part III

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Here’s one more set of books that came to my attention because they landed on my doorstep…
The Accidental Vampire by Lynsay Sands. I know, I know. It’s another vampire book. But, this one revolves around a new vampire and a personal ad placed on her behalf. The idea sounds funny. [...]

New-to-Me Part II

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Many of you mentioned being tired of paranormals. I sensed the grumbling and frustration. Honestly, that’s not a surprise. I’m thinking there are a bit too many paranormal offerings out there and not enough other things. So…how about these two non-paranormals?
What Looks Like Crazy by Charlotte Hughes. This is a [...]

New-To-Me Part I

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

A few books land on my doorstep each month. These deliveries introduce me to new authors and books. Without these packages, I might have missed some of these titles that otherwise appeal to me on some level. So, to make sure you’ve heard of these books as well, I thought I’d highlight [...]

Holiday With An Author - Day 5

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Today’s author is a person who has been great to me. She designed my website, answers all of my dumb author and computer questions and gives me loads and loads of weekly support. And, she writes a hell of a book…
The spotlight author today is Alison Kent. Alison writes for, among others, [...]

Holiday With An Author - Day 4

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

Today’s author is bestseller Jaci Burton. Jaci writes paranormal action adventure, erotic romance and romance. A little bit of everything and something for all. Jaci is one of those authors I found online. I would see her here and there. Then her Demon Hunter series came out and I saw her [...]

Holiday With An Author - Day 3

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

One of the other authors on that writing panel I did at the Burbank B&N back in November (through Fronnie Lewis and her Cheers for Writers events - thanks Fronnie!) was Leigh Court. Leigh told a very moving story about why she decided to read and write romance. As a reporter she had [...]

Holiday With An Author - Day 2

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

Today’s spotlight author is one of my internet buddies, Sylvia Day. Sylvia sold to Kensington Brava (my publisher also) after being named the Reader’s Choice favorite in the Lori Foster Brava Novella Contest that year. Sylvia has sold about a billion books since then. I exaggerate…but not by much. What [...]

Holiday With An Author - Day 1

Monday, December 10th, 2007

This is the final week of my deadline. You know what that means: limited internet usage…or, that’s the theory. To help with my addiction perfectly normal enjoyment of the internet, and in light of the holiday season, I’m going to launch a week-long giveaway. This is a way for you to [...]
