Much Ado About Big Happenings

Happy Wednesday Everyone,

Bear with me, there is a lot to talk about:

Robin Badillo has a brand new paranormal series coming out, the first one was released on March 1, 2011 entitled Blood Hunter: The Beginning Her paranormal romance, Journey Of The Damned Triology books are available on Kindle . The first 2 in the Trilogy are available in Multiformat from Fictionwise (Fictionwise is a Barnes & Noble company, but you can't search their catalog on the Barnes & Noble website). Or you can go to her publisher, Devine Destinies. (Her books are only out as e-books). (I'm working out how to get it on my E-reader so I haven't read her work yet, but I have it on my list of books to read--but let me tell you, she's told me a little about her work and it sounds intriguing!)

I am starting Cheri Jetton's new Romantic Suspense, Crimson Snow. You can get it on Kindle or Nook. (I can't tell you much about it because I just started reading it!) The synopsis sounded good and I've read Jessie And The Ranger so I'm really interested to see what she'll do with a Romantic Suspense.

Just finished reading Alex Flinn's Cloaked. Wonderful fantasy YA novel--lots of fun. You can get it at Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Borders / Kindle / Nook / Borders E-Reader/ Borders Compact Disc / From Barnes & Noble on Disc / From Barnes & Noble MP3 On CD

Did you pick up your copy of Scones & Bones by Laura Childs? If you like mystery and are a big fan of Theodosia and the Indigo Tea Shop (like me) you'll want this one--believe me, I know, I've read it and it's fabulous!

And what do I have to do to convince you to rush over and get on your Kindle or Nook, Melissa Ohnoutka's Faithful Deceptions?

March 29th will be the release of Kerrelyn Sparks' Vampire Mine and C.C. Hunter's YA Paranormal, Born At Midnight (the first in her Shadow Falls series).

Incredible things are in the works for this blog in March. I've got a review coming out later this month (an official one, like the one I did for Laura Childs' Scones & Bones; only this is a different author). Not to mention this other thing I've got up my sleeve--if all goes well in these planning stages (because I'm still working out some details) it will be one awesome deal!

I'm delighted that you, my dear readers, get to reap the benefits of everything going on here, because your comments, support, emails and returning here every day means the absolute world to me. Keep up the great comments!

And speaking comments...Got one you don't want to post on here or you have a question or suggestion? Feel free to drop me an email
:-)

Have A Whimsical Wednesday!

It's Worth A Fortune

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me: In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta: I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me: You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...

Myths About Writers

Afternoon Folks, I thought we'd do a post to dispel some of the myths people seem to have about writers. I'll put the ones that first come to mind then y'all can chime in. Myth: Writing is a great way to make a lot of money. I'm not sure exactly how this one matriculated. Probably in the wake of some of the big best sellers (i.e. Stephen King, Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer, JK Rowling, and the like) but most of the time writers put in more money for their writing than they do get out of it. Generally a writer doesn't make a ton of money unless somehow his/her book is a blockbuster hit and blasts through what the author owes in the advance (which is paid back to publishers through royalties). Most writers I've met and talked to are not millionaires. I'm not saying it can't happen, I'm saying it's not one of those things that's automatic. Myth: Writing Is Easy Anybody Can Do It. Okay, granted this isn't entirely a myth, but it's not ent...
