We are very happy to welcome Jill Sorenson here as first guest author in 2013. Her newest novel, Aftershock released last week and today she is here to tell us about her fascination with disaster romance. Be sure to tell her what you think for your chance to win your own copy. Please give Jill a warm welcome.
Hello Book Lovers Inc!
Some readers have said that my latest release, Aftershock, is like a disaster movie. It’s no accident; I’m a huge movie fan. I took several film studies and screenwriting classes in college. Many of my books are inspired by films.
Aftershock has been compared to Daylight, a disaster movie with Sylvester Stallone. I can’t remember if I’ve seen it, but I really enjoyed Cliffhanger, also starring Stallone. My next book, Freefall, features a rock climber hero. I definitely thought of Cliffhanger (but not Stallone!) when I wrote it.

Today is pattepoilue day here at Book Lovers Inc. HOOOORAY!!! Did you ever wonder why Caro has such a cute and maybe a bit weird french nickname? Well it’s because she is a huge French popstar and the paparazzi caught her in more than one “épicé” situation. Well we love her nonetheless and today we wanted to show you her first really popular song which recently got covered rather blatantly. Enjoy.
Happy Birthday!!!
Stella: Dearest Caro, wishing you a very happy birthday with lots of wonderful romances, delicious chocolate cake and bubbly champagne and everyone you love around you! Hope this year will be even better than the last was and you know: We are young, so let’s set the world on fire, we can burn brighter than the sun! And now let’s get this party started! 😀
Anna: Happy Birthday sweet Caro!!! Hope you all the best in the world, …

About the book:
Paperback, 432 pages
Expected publication: December 4th 2012 by DAW
Jeff and Kitty Katt-Martini and the rest of the American Centaurion Diplomatic Corps are still recovering from their introduction to Washington D.C. politics, parties, and conspiracies. So when compromising pictures arrive, no one’s too surprised. They’re also the least of anyone’s worries.
Evil androids running amok, birds of all kinds and from all places creating havoc, a Senator trapped in an ever-tightening web of intrigue, and escalating international tensions all seem tough but manageable. But the disappearance of Jeff Martini and Charles Reynolds during the International One World Festival signals more than the usual nastiness — and it looks like even ACE can’t help them.
Then new trouble arrives in old packages and even with the best hackers in the world, beings from near and far, the full might of Earth’s military, and the Wonder Twins on their side, Centaurion Division’s outmanned …

Welcome to our new edition of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? This week we have a Game for you! Since you enjoyed the last game we played, we thought we could come up with something fun but different. Last time there was only 1 good answer for each question, but this time we’ll give room to YOUR knowledge of covers. You can answer with the covers YOU know, in whichever genre you want. The game is simple… We tell you a requirement (a thing, an animal, an object, a word in the title…) and you have to come up with a book cover that fits the bill. Of course that alone would be too easy 😉 So you can earn more points depending on the level of difficulty.
What can you Win?

Book Blurb:
Tesla Martin is drifting pleasantly through life, slinging lattes at Morningstar Mocha, enjoying the ebb and flow of caffeine-starved customers, devoted to her cadre of regulars. But none of the bottomless-cup crowd compares with Meredith, a charismatic force of nature who can coax intimate tales from even the shyest of Morningstar’s clientele.Caught in Meredith’s sensual, irresistible orbit, inexpressibly flattered by the siren’s attention, Tesla shares long-buried chapters of her life, holding nothing back. Nothing Meredith proposes seems impossible—not even Tesla sleeping with Meredith’s husband, Charlie, while she looks on. After all, it’s …
The winner of our We Love Your Comments Giveaway for August is … Aliyah who commented on our Bookish Rants or Raves: Do Not Meddle in the Affairs of Dragons post:
Aliyah on Aug 8, 2012 @ 4:07 Okay, I see your logic with most of these books, but, I have to say that as a child I loved the Harry Potter books (and I still do as a guilty pleasure). So I have to argue that although there is abuse of dragons in this one and in the seventh book, the storytelling is great (there is no rape unlike the other books) and I advise people to read this book.
Congratulations! An email will been sent to you. Please email us back in the in the next 72 hours to claim your price.
We will now start counting for September. Here again the rules:
