Gosh, I'm jealous of all of you who can speak several languages. I barely passed Spanish in high school. And yeah, don't really remember anything I learned.

Hello, all! Thanks for the invite and setting this up, Annie! =)So I write erotica in a variety of genres. I have ten full length novels out across three series and one standalone and they range from contemporary to fantasy to cyberpunk to dark. I tend to write long (100k+) novels or a series because I like character development, and I am interested in seeing/showing how my creations evolve as they are confronted by challenges. I like going on a journey with characters; life usually isn't neatly summed up in 100 pages, and I want readers to get a feel for the story and relationships in it and be as invested as I am. ;-)
I have other hobbies like gardening, reading, cooking and art and I love writing but find promo challenging! I'm in the midst of a Blitz for my 10th book, "The Templars Falter", book three in my fantasy series, so I admit to being a bit scattered right now!
I live with my boyfriend and we have four cats but no room for a dog, and I live in Washington state.
Happy writing everyone! =)

Group promo plan! Group promo plan!
Sorry just cheering the good idea, lol!
Mod
I like the "Group promo plan!" mantra haha!!
Last night I figured that we'd be ready for a group promo thingy once we hit 100 members. But ya know, if everyone's really active like this, I reckon we could do pretty freakin' stellar with even 50 members, eh?
What say you, lovely ladies?
Ann here's a whole bunch of stars just for you! Cos you're awesome too!✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯✯

Hey! You better give yourself a star Mistress Ann...don't make me get evil. Remember, it's getting to my head. I need to come back down to be nice like Princess Jane.
Promos are always fun. *grins sweetly* I'm up for it whenever.
Dianne wrote: "Thanks! What's your question?"You're welcome! Wondering about series and whether you prefer to start with book one in a series, I have a book coming out in January, and yes I am so organised that it is currently with my editor, so I totally plan to send out ARC's this time around, but it is book three in a series, and does follow on from the first two books, so was wondering whether I were to send in a review request whether you would have wanted to read book one and two first?
Amanda wrote: "Hey! You better give yourself a star Mistress Ann...don't make me get evil. Remember, it's getting to my head. I need to come back down to be nice like Princess Jane"I gave her some! And you be as evil as you wish, its much more fun! Not that I'm ever evil, I'm way too soft!
Anyways people off to work, enjoy your day/night! (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥
Hello All!My name is Ashley Nestler and pretty much all of my novels have a heavy romance theme in them. Currently,Ashley Marie Nestler I have a Dystopian romance out called "Beautiful Nightmare" and a Historical Fiction/Fantasy romance out called "Into The Fog". My third novel will be coming out on November 1 and it involves a contemporary lesbian romance as well.
Mod
*ahem*
Hello and welcome.
Ooooh, lesbian romance. We're gonna cover all the sub-sub genres/niches/whatever it's called aha! I dig it!!

I always forget to properly introduce myself! *sighs* Sorry everyone XDHi! My name is L.C. Perry and I'm a YA author of any genre, but I like to have elements of romance and action in most, if not, all of the books I create. The series I'm working on now does have romance in it, but it doesn't show until later on. It's sometimes a lot more interesting with no insta-love ;)
Mod
Official hello and welcome Miss LC! I'm not a fan of insta-love, personally. Insta-attraction, on the other hand? Well...
*grins like a Cheshire cat*

EDIT: *MacKayla. Sorry!!
Mod
Awww *hugs* I'm happy to have lifted ya. And thank YOU for a heck of a fun read!!
I hear ya on the reviews thing. Personally, I've found that <3% of readers actually leave a review. Crazy, eh? Planning to change that with this group, though, by having readers, reviewers, bloggers, etc. all in one place.
Tis my master plan *smirks*
Hugs,
Ann
P.S. - Check out Miss Dianne's blog. She is kind enough to do reviews for romance indies. Actually, she's a freakin' superstar!!
