Hot Summer Cool Fall Releases

Happy Wednesday Everyone,


Riverboat Ride in Frankenmuth, Michigan


It's June! Which means, it's Summer time. School's out. There's heat, humidity, vacations...and there some Summer-y type feeling novels being released and some Summer releases coming out:


Jennifer Bray-Weber Blood And Treasure (a romance novel with pirates. Being out on the ocean--what's more summery than that?) (This one is already out).

Christie Craig's Don't Mess With Texas (August 2011) If any place knows summertime weather, it's definitely Texas (as a Texan I can speak from experience). (You can actually find this one on Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites already).

Lesley Livingston has a new novel coming out July 2011, Once Every Never (I haven't even seen this on Amazon or Barnes & Noble websites, yet).

Of course this isn't to say that Summer is the only time for exciting new releases. Fall will be on the heels of Summer and bring with it...



Kerrelyn Sparks will be revealing Gregori's story in Sexiest Vampire Alive coming September 27, 2011. (Squeal! I'm very excited about this one).

Fountain in Frankenmuth, Michigan


Rick Riordan will be bringing out the sequel to his Heroes Of Olympus series (sequel series to the Percy Jackson & The Olympians series). Come October 4, 2011 Percy will be back...in The Son Of Neptune (but wait, you thought it was Poseidon...well, we're dealing with the Roman side of the Olympians now...and they are more violent and aggressive than their Greek side). You can get a sneak peek here (the first chapter).  He's got an Egyptian series out (the first 2 books have been released). I haven't finished reading the first one, but I can tell you what I did read was very exciting and engrossing.


And I can hardly wait for C.C. Hunter's next ShadowFalls book,  Awake At Dawn, to come out in October 2011.


What Summer and Fall releases are you looking forward to?


Have A Whimsical Wednesday!

*note:  Photos (except for the heart picture) are from a vacation I took a couple or so years ago.  Frankenmuth, Michigan is a great little German town that has wonderful food (I recommend eating at the Frankenmuth Brewery--http://www.frankenmuthbrewery.com/index.aspx ), the biggest Christmas store I ever seen (Bronner's--http://www.bronners.com/   I'm not sure where you'd find a wider selection of tree ornaments). It's lots of fun for young and not-quite-so-young-but-young-at-heart. (NOTE: My computer won't let me "highlight" words right now so I'm unable to directly link you, however if you copy and paste each link they will take you to the websites. I apologize for my computer's temperamental disposition and the inconvenience).

Bethany, I can't believe you didn't include my book, Blood Magick, since it's official release date is today.

(And yes, I'm shamelessly plugging.)

You're not the only one waiting on Rick Riordan. GK, who claims to despise reading anything I suggest, has already requested the next Heroes of Olympus book.

Suzan,

I apologize! I didn't know the official release date was today, I thought it had already come out (maybe I misread your email). I don't mind if you come on here and shamelessly plug yourself. That's half the reason I put up this post.

The first "Heroes Of Olympus" book is really good...characters from the "Percy Jackson" series make appearances, as well as brand-new ones. I read the first one and have been impatiently waiting for the next LOL October has always been one of my favorite months (my birthday had something to do with that but also it's generally cooler out here in Texas by then).

Thanks for dropping by, Suzan...and everyone...Suzan Harden has her paranormal E-book, "Blood Magick" out on Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble Nook :-)

Kerrelyn,

It can actually get pretty warm up in Michigan, but generally the evenings are much cooler. I can remember Julys and Augusts going up there and needing a sweatshirt in the evenings! I love visiting Michigan. I got a whole bunch of relatives up there and one of my aunt and uncle own a lakehouse where we often have family reunions, boat rides, swimming, singing. I don't have any relatives in Frankenmuth, but it's not far from where some of my relatives live. I highly recommend Frankenmuth...I wanna go back one day. Thanks for dropping by :-)

I am intrigued by the Heroes of Olympus. I am eagerly awaiting the release of Janet Evanovich's 'Smokin' Seventeen'- the latest Stephanie Plum novel
Nice pix!

Tonette,

Thanks for dropping by! Have you read the "Percy Jackson" series? That lays the groundwork for the "Heroes Of Olympus". I have a sister who loves Janet Evanovich--I've never read her, but I've heard very good things about her writing. Thank you about the pictures...I think my husband took most of them (but I might've taken the fountain one) :-)

It's Worth A Fortune

By
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

By
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

By
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...
