Spotlight Saturday: Sascha Illyvich & his "Surrender To Love"

Hey peeps!

I have the pleasure of welcoming another fellow 1NS author over today. Known in his circles as the 'bad boy of romance', Sascha Illyvich is nonetheless a true darling once you get to know him; someone you really like having as a friend, and someone who's bound to make you laugh with his sharp tongue and scathing wit!

Don't believe me? Read on for yourself! His answers to my interview questions were startling, to say the least.

So, Sascha - tell us a bit about you, and something we...

Progress Friday - & the battle of the heroes!

Hey beautiful people!

Progress Friday post, but unfortunately, I don't have any ms/WIP progress to report this week. I have been working on other stuff, mostly work-related, preferring to give my attention to some things and get them done with, instead of multitasking and getting nothing done. But next week, I should be free of other constraints, and the focus will be on the WIP (which is on deadline, btw... I need to remind myself of that...)

Anyhow, what am I posting about today then? There's...

Link Thursday: 10 Things Women Do Better Than Men

Hey peeps!


Let me say right off the bat that this is not a post bashing men! I'm all for equality and all that, but I'm not one of those feminists who say women are everywhere better than men. There's stuff women are great at and men totally suck at, and vice versa. In between the spectrum, you can find both sexes in marginal amounts.

That being said, this article was spot on with some issues. Check it out, and you'll agree with me. These are (mostly) based on fact and observation, so it's not ...

Tidbit Tuesday: Night with a Dom by Casea Major (1NS)

Hey beautiful people!

Today a fellow 1NS author visits here to tell us about her latest release - and of course, a 1NightStand book! - titled Night With A Dom.

If you're not familiar with 1NightStand, it's a line of short stories from Decadent Publishing. At the heart of each story is the 1NightStand dating agency, which is run by the mysterious Madame Evangeline, or Madame Eve. Madame Eve has a gifted touch, in that she's able to partner anyone who uses her agency's services for a date with th...

Six Sentence Sunday - Calling Home Snippet #13

Hey beautiful people!

It's a bright & sunny Sunday here in Mauritius - that perfect time just on the edges of summer and preparing for the cooler days of fall & winter. Ideal time to sit down in your front room with a cup of frothy coffee and a good read; from time to time, you look up and glance at the brilliant light outside and that's spilling through the French windows on your terrace. Hmmm, perfect for Six Sentence Sunday!

So, where were we with those excerpts? Still in Surrey, inside the ...

Spotlight Saturday: with Tracey Smith, author of LOVE'S FATE (Love's Trilogy #1)

Hey beautiful people!

Sorry to have been AWOL these past 2 days - my Internet was all over the place (except on my computer!) and I couldn't get much done in the 1-2 sporadic minutes it allowed me to log on.

But anyhow, these woes seem to be over for now, and it is with great pleasure that I bring to you a new author today. Her name is Tracey Smith, and her first book, Love's Fate, and its sequel, Love's Destiny, are now out on Amazon Kindle. Tracey and I met on Goodreads, and shortly after, we...

BLOG TOUR for A Good & Useful Hurt by Aric Davis

Hey beautiful people!

I haven't done this in a while now, but today I'm back on the blog tour bandwagon to bring you another novel that you might want to dig into. This one came to me through the publicist I often collaborate with for blog tours, and before we proceed, let me state already that any and all opinions are mine and mine alone, and that I was in no way enticed, encouraged, coerced, or asked, to provide a positive review of this book. The opinions expressed in this review/post are s...

Tidbit Tuesday: with Sarah Ballance!

Hey beautiful people!

I'm joined this week by fellow Noble Romance author, the lovely Sarah Ballance! Sarah and I have known each other for a short while only, but that small lapse of time was enough to notice what a wonderful person she is and how talented her writing happens to be. I catch Sarah's Six Sentence Sunday posts every week, and she never fails to amaze me at her turn of phrase and how easily she sucks a reader into her penned words.

I cannot wait to make you discover Sarah for your...

Six Sentence Sunday - Calling Home Snippet #12

Hey beautiful people!

It's a calm, quiet Sunday here. Weather is in limbo, trying to decide to stay summer-y or ease softly into fall & winter. Yes, I live in the southern hemisphere... *hear the sigh coming here...*

But anyhow, after a week that zipped by me on super-speed, I'm glad it's the weekend again, and I have a functioning Internet connection once again. Six Sentence Sunday is now a side-effect-free drug of choice for me, and I'm sure, for the rest of the participants too.

So where am I...

Spotlight Saturday: A Review of TITANIC (the movie) from Lovestorycritic1

Hey beautiful people!

Recently, on Goodreads, I've had the pleasure of meeting this lovely lady who goes by the moniker Lovestorycritic1. Through some board chatting and discussions, she and I have become friends, and she invited me over to check her blog, where she pens reviews of love stories, whether in book form or movie medium.

I was totally blown away by her review of Titanic, and when she mentioned that we should probably swap blogs some day, I jumped on the occasion to access this post ...
