Release Day with Lexi George & W*n, Y’all
The quick commercial—head over to the Susannah Sandlin website for today’s stops on the blog tour for Omega, and more chances to win big tour-wide prizes.
Now…drum roll…
Demon Hunting in a Dive Bar is out today! One of the great things about being an author is meeting other authors. I read Lexi George’s debut book, Demon Hunting in Dixie, before I met her, so I had envisioned her as this sassy Southern woman with a wicked sense of humor. And I was totally right. I was also surprise...<![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]>

Scene-Snippet Sunday, Weekly W*nners, & More
A late post for me today. I just returned from the Montgomery area where I had fun with some great authors and readers yesterday at Murder on the Menu, hosted by the Friends of the Wetumpka (Alabama) Library.
Among the authors there were Dean James (who writes the Cat in the Stacks murder mystery series as Miranda James)--did you know that Charlaine Harris named Sam's shapeshifting dog after him in the Southern Vampire series? Yep, that Dean. I also had a chance to catch up with my friend Lexi...

Today for “Readers Write,” I’m welcoming guest reviewer Miki of the Lecture toute une Aventure review site, who’s sharing a review of Ascension, the first in Caris Roane’s World of Ascension series. This is one of those longer series (book six came out in December) that I missed out on but has been on my radar forever. It sounds like something I need to read!
Read on for Miki’s review and a chance to win this book (or a later one in the series) or your choice of another book featu...<![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]>

Interview with Cathy Yardley and #PNR Temping is Hell
Today, help me welcome author Cathy Yardley, who’s here to talk about her upcoming release with Entangled Publishing, Temping is Hell.

Shop-Talk: Vampires, Werewolves, and Paranormal Fatigue
When authors finish books and are casting around for ideas for yet more books, we have to do these awful things called proposals. Which is kind of like writing an outline of a story when you have no idea where that story is going to go. Because even for someone like me who is a dedicated plotter—I outline my books before I start writing them—a lot of the magic happens in the writing itself. The outline changes as I go. The final book is usually similar to my beginning outline, bu...<![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]>
