An Interview with Lee Strauss
Hello my little samurai kitties! I’ve got an author interview to feature today and part of the 3rd and last day of Lee Strauss’ Gingerbread Man tour, as well as a new excerpt. So let’s learn a bit more about Lee and her current release! An Interview with Lee Strauss Q: How did you get the idea for A Nursery Rhyme Suspense Series? A: My husband and I were in London researching for a couple of books in my romance series, and while walking around we started talking about the story idea that led to Run Run Run. I wish I could remember exactly what triggered the idea, but unfortunately, that tidbit is lost. It was sometime later that I decided to work with the Nursery Rhyme theme.

Do You Cosplay?
Hey kitties! I wrote the following article for NA Alley and you can read it and other awesome posts about New Adult books and media over on NA Alley! Do You Cosplay? Using cosplay to engage with your audience. It may be true that genealogy is the fastest growing hobby in the world, but for the teen and new adult group the clear winner is cosplay. And when you think about it, it totally makes sense. Being a new adult is all about defining and expressing yourself as individual, and finding your tribe, and cosplay offers participants a way to proudly wave their little geek flags for the world to see.
