What Kind of an Impression Did You Make?
by Terry Spear
If you met the man of your dreams, what kind of impression did you first make? What kind of an impression did he make on you?
Was it love at first sight, or did you think: what a loser! Or: no way would I get hooked up with him…he’s too cute, charming, too rich, too out of my league, too whatever?
When we’re writing fiction, we have to come up with ways that our heroine and hero are …
Hey Everyone!
This week has been crazy at work, I was on 3 urgent projects having their deadline all on Friday, so on Friday I pulled a 14 hour long shift and I still haven’t chilled enough to feel psyched about Monday coming up (or is there such a thing as to look forward to the week starting? LOL ;-p) But I still got to do soma baking, this time I whipped up some apple-cinnamon muffins 😀
Today I’ll spend the afternoon with a friend of mine we’ll go shopping, to the cinema and then a dance class, so a busy day.

Hey Everyone!
In honour of today’s guest author (Michele Hauf who is celebrating the release of her latest novel: Forever Werewolf) I thought it was time we talked paranormal romances and more precisely about my favourite paranormal creatures: werewolves!
Though they weren’t the first supernatural species I discovered or read about (those were vampires), when I read Bitten by Kelley Armstrong (I think maybe the 4th paranormal/urban fantasy I’ve come across) it changed everything. It opened my eyes to a new world and Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld series became one of my favourite UF series and werewolves my favourite supernatural creatures. I even championed them when Moira Rogers held the epic contest between vamps and wolves.
You want to know why werewolves are dear to my heart? Let me tell you just a few of the reasons:
werewolves are warm …
Today we are happy to welcome to Book Lovers Inc. beloved paranormal romance author Michele Hauf, who stops by to answer all my burning questions regarding, among others, her newest release: Forever Werewolf! So read on to get to know more about Michele and her latest novel and you could even win a copy of Forever Werewolf! 😉
Stella: Hi Michele, can you please tell us a bit about yourself?
Michele: I’ve been writing since the early 90s. I spend a lot of time behind the keyboard but try to get away and exercise when I can. I love to muddle about in my tiny little succulent garden, and dread the oncoming winter because cabin fever sucks. Fortunately my stories do entertain me, so I can pretend I’m walking the streets of a summery Paris, even as the snow blasts my windows just over my shoulder.
Stella: Describe a typical day …
