There were a wide range of answers to "Who killed King Arthur" and for the record, I accepted them all as correct because there are so many different versions of the Arthurian legend out there. ...

Two Book Tour Stops, Two Book Giveaways Today.

Finally, the four-books-released-in-thirty-days is catching up and slamming me around.  I did my best not to book double dates anywhere with the twenty-plus book tour dates I had for any of the four book tours I planned, but the blog hosts (bless 'em!) also have their own commitments, and this one day I got jammed up, and was forced to double book.

So you get two chances to win, today.  Life just sucks, huh? :)

On the positive side, we're back from Columbus and I got my very own pillow back...

Teal Ceagh's Erotic Urban Fantasy, Kiss Across Time, Is Out Today!

My Teal Ceagh erotic time travel urban fantasy romance (phew!), Kiss Across Time, comes out with Ellora's Cave today.  It's part of the Poetic Passions series and may possibly be first cab off the rank — I don't remember seeing any other books with the series logo on them on the coming soon pages at Ellora's Cave.

I have a small blog tour set up for the launch of the book, and it starts in a few days.  Check the Events page for dates, as there will be giveaways at each stop.

I'm on the road as ...

Follow-up to NJ Walter's Guest Post – If You Want To Be In The Contest And Can't Post….

From Winterset, Madison County, Iowa:

From a few emails I've had, it appears that some people, including NJ herself, have been unable to post comments on this particular post. I can't diagnose the problem on my Blackberry, or on this dinky little netbook of mine, so I'll have to leave it until I get back to my desktop after the 6th.

Therefore, I won't shut down the contest for NJ's book until after the 6th, either. If you'd like to be included in the draw and can't post a comment for...

NJ Walters is Seeking Charlotte and Giving Away the Prizes

Today I'm happy to have Ellora's Cave author, NJ Walters, as my special guest.  NJ is celebrating the launch of her new book, Seeking Charlotte, and while most of the cave is empty of authors, who are off playing at the Romantic Times convention, unfortunately, NJ is one of those authors who got left at home.

NJ is generously giving away one of her books…any of her previously published books — winner's choice! All you have to do to be in the running for this fabulous prize is to make NJ feel w...

I'm Guesting at Love Romance Passion Today, Talking About Dead Again and Giving Away Goodies

Today I kick off the book tour for my romantic suspense, Dead Again, with a blog stop with Keira and her gang at Love Romance Passion.

Apart from the post and comments and a book giveaway, I've also (possibly rashly) promised Keira I would try to upload photos of famous personages I happen to take live-and-in-person as I rub shoulders with them at the Romantic Times Convention as it's Day Two today, and the panels and workshops are in full hysterical swing.  This is the day, if you're not...

You may not have thought of a laptop computer as an ereader, but it reads ebooks just as well as any other electronic device, and it's mobile, too.  Of the three devices I'm about to discuss, it's the biggest and clunkiest, though.

There's also tablet laptops, with a screen...
