Interview with Diana Quincy + Giveaway

I LOVE historical romances. They are my alltime favourites, a good, romantic HR just warms my heart. But when I read Diana Quincy‘s debut novel Seducing Charlotte I got an even better and more complex experience: it was a witty, intelligent and captivating romance I couldn’t resist, so I couldn’t have been happier to learn it was the first novel in a brand new series! Now book#2 just got released and to celebrate the release of Tempting Bella I got to interview Diana Quincy and quiz her about the series, weird research findings and favourite time periods. So take a seat and join us, you could even win some great prizes at the end! 😉 

Stella: Hi Diana, welcome to Book Lovers Inc! 🙂 Can you please tell us a bit about yourself?

Diana: Hi Stella, thanks for having me! Let’s see…I’m a former television reporter who decided to start …

So yeah, things have been pretty eventful in real life but I’m back! 😀 And I bring you some long-time awaited winners!

Can a childhood crush mature into the real thing? Kayla Martinez has recently landed an RN position at a prestigious hospital in her hometown. The new job is everything she’s hoped for, especially when one hot specimen shows up in the ER. She hasn’t seen her childhood crush in years, and considering how much hotter he’s gotten over time, she almost ends up needing resuscitation.

The last thing Nico LaCosta needs is a broken arm. Now his pal’s kid sister wants to soothe his pain, but he’d rather keep his distance so her big brother doesn’t break his other arm. Kayla’s no child anymore, though. …

The Story That Almost Wasn’t
by Kimberly Kincaid

Each book has a story, a wonderful tale of evolution about how it went from the glimmer of an idea to a swirling of thoughts to a cohesive map of characters and events and arcs. The process never fails to astound me, since the simplest things can serve to inspire entire books (case in point: my first novella, Love On The Line, …

I am not a tomboy, not really. Nor am I a girly-girl, although I do occasionally like to sneak a fancy gown into a dressing room and try it on just for fun, even if I can’t even begin to think of anyplace I’d ever wear something like that (although part of me thinks it would be fun to get all dolled up with a tiara or something and go grocery shopping, just to see the looks on other people’s faces. Is …

Loving the Boss

There is something so forbidden about falling in love with your boss, right? He’s the man in authority, he’s usually powerful and commanding and extremely handsome. Attentive. A little gruff, but always with good intentions. And did I mention sexy?

Okay fine, this was …

A Behind-the-Story Peek at How I Came Up With My Plot

Authors love talking about their books. Except for one, specific instance. We hate when people ask how we came up with the idea. Because usually there simply isn’t an answer. Just the other day, my mother (of all people who should have some faith in my creative abilities!) asked if one …
