#sixsunday Before The Morning #20: When Love Takes Over...

Cannot believe it's already Sunday - where did this past week go? Once again it's time for Six Sentence Sunday and an absolute smorgasbord of story snippets from a huge bunch of extremely talented authors!
I'm getting ready to snuggle down with an afghan and a cup of hot chocolate (with marshmallows! Just re-discovered the glory of marshmallows *grin*). Spring seems to be coming in but looks like it hasn't made up its mind yet - so today we're stuck with barely tolerable t...

Interview with author Christy Hayes!

Delighted to welcome another one of the fabulous people I have recently met on an indie loop. Her name is Christy Hayes; she is absolutely lovely; and we had a great time shooting Q&As around.
Here she is for you!
So, Christie, tell us a bit about you, and something we don't know/wouldn't expect about you.
I’m blessed to be a stay-at-home mom of two teenagers. I have seven books for sale and have been writing seriously for almost ten years. I was a television addict growing up...

Tidbit Tuesday: Fabio Bueno releases WICKED SENSE, Book 1 of the Singularity series

Had to take a break from blogging last week to get back into top (well, manageable...) health, and here we are today with me ready to unleash the dams on you! And look who I got visiting today - indie author Fabio Bueno.
I recently met Fabio on an indie loop (and yes, I am going indie, too. Soon... Not 100%, but anyhow...). So here's this absolutely awesomely nice and courteous guy looking for opps to promote his first release, which came out yesterday. Of course, since I'...

#sixsunday: Before The Morning #19: Secret Agent at Work

Had to take a break from blogging this week to get over the bad cold that slammed into me over the past weekend. Thank goodness feeling just shy of human now. And I am so looking forward to Six Sentence Sunday and doing the rounds to see what my fellow sixers are up to!
We're back with Rayne and Ash from Book 2 of my Corpus Brides espionage series. Last week, Ash kinda messed up (okay, that's an understatement!), and now he's feeling guilty as hell. Rayne knows something i...

Squeee! Check out the cover for OnceUponASecondChance, my upcoming #1NS from @DecadentPub
Hey peeps!!
I'm happy dancing yet having to do soundless squeeeees here, as my voice is still AWOL. But guess that's a good thing, coz I would totally have brought the place down with the shrill sounds. I mean, will you look at the absolute gorgeousness of this cover?
From the talented hands of Valerie Tibbs at Valerie Tibbs Designs comes this dreamy perfection image to highlight my upcoming 1NS! That picture of the couple is exactly how I pictured Leila and Khalid, the protagonists....

#sixsunday Before The Morning #18: Oops!

Recovering from a bad cold here, and today I have no voice. Needless to tell you, the hyenas are ecstatic! All I wanna do is head back to my bed and quilt, but since I already signed up for Six Sentence Sunday, I owed it to the list owner to pop in here and post my six.
Anyhow, I'm jumping a little in the story this week. Same scene, but I'm skipping the part where Ash and Rayne are doing the naughty (I know, wicked of me, but, read today's six and you'll know why I rushed...

BLOG TOUR: Interview with best-selling author Susan Wiggs, & a review of her latest release, Return to Willow Lake

It’s been ages since I last posted a review up here, but things are about to change today coz I’m back with a requested review. Guess you know I sometimes hear from a publicist who asks me to feature and/or review for her clients? She was recently putting together the promo tour for one of her authors, and asked if I’d agree to hop along. When I saw who her client was, I jumped on the occasion. Why, do you ask? Because the tour is for none other than Susan Wiggs, one of my favourite...
