Books and A Big Comfy Chair

Happy Thursday Everyone,

There's a few releases that I've seemed to have missed, plus a contest (these are all novels that are now available):

Jane Carver is making her mark with a new novel, Moonlust & Majick is available on Amazon Paperback. It's also available from Barnes & Noble in Paperback. Very pretty cover, that one!

Yesterday Suzan Harden, author of Blood Magick (available at Amazon and at Barnes & Noble), posted she's having a contest on her blog (it ends June 7, 2011). Check out Wild, Wicked & Wacky (Suzan's blog) for further information.

Teri Thackston put out a new novel--a Western Romance. The Abduction Of Miss Jenny Chandler is available at her publisher, Ellora's Cave website. It's also available in paperback from Barnes & Noble (you can also get it on Nook on that link). It's also available at Amazon in Paperback and on Amazon Kindle. (She doesn't just write Westerns, she has written in other genres, too).

I'm still reading Georgette Heyer's Lady Of Quality. It's a fun book, and I could see it as an enjoyable movie, but I feel that way about a lot of Heyer novels.

So, what's the perfect compliment to the perfect book? A big comfy chair/couch? A cup of tea, perhaps hot chocolate? Or a mug of coffee?

Better yet, since it's Summer, a glass of iced tea or lemonade?

As for me...when it's cold, I like hot tea or hot chocolate, in the summer, depends on what I'm in the mood for. For a sweet treat...a good piece of chocolate (if I'm lucky, it's a Godiva Truffle) is often a yummy compliment to any book I'm reading.

Anyway, so tell me what compliments a good book?

Have A Tasty Thursday!

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...

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: Christie Craig

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Sorry about the delay in getting Christie Craig's email interview up. Normally I can just copy and paste interviews from my email into my blog, but this time my blog would NOT let me paste the interview! So everything has to be done manually, which takes longer. Anyway, let me introduce you to Christie Craig: I met her through the NWHRWA , which we're both members of. She's a real sweetheart. Funny, fun, and makes you feel comfortable (you don't feel shy or uncomfortable because she has a very hospitable presence about her). She's also very helpful, offers great advice and encouragement (I know this from experience, she's been very encouraging to me). Christie is a multi-published author of both fiction and nonfiction. Her works include things like Divorced, Desperate & Delicious and her up-coming non-fiction (with elements of fiction) work, Wild, Wicked And Wanton: 101 Ways To Love Like You're In A Romance Novel ...due out this ...
