Interview: Nicola Marsh + Giveaway!

Nicola Marsh

It’s our great pleasure to welcome Nicola Marsh to BLI today! Nicola is here for the latest stop in her Entangled Publishing Blog Tour to celebrate the release of her latest novel Busted in Bollywood, which was published on December 6, 2011.

A contemporary romance, Busted in Bollywood is receiving rave reviews and is about heroine Shari Jones who is a single, homeless and jobless, Indo-American. Shari agrees to her best friend’s whacky scheme: travel to Mumbai, pose as Amrita, ditch the fiancé her traditional Indian parents have chosen. Simple. Until she’s mistaken for a famous Bollywood actress, stalked by a Lone Ranger wannabe, courted by an English lord and busted by the blackmailing fiancé.

Oh Ho! Doesn’t Busted in Bollywood sound fun and unique?

Lea: Nicola! Welcome to Book Lovers! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to join us here …

Guest Post: Five Simons: The Many Faces of One Hero by Monique Martin + Giveaway

I am very happy to welcome to BLI and introduce to you today  Monique Martin, author of the Out of Time series: a highly original and fantastic series which combines time travel, romance, and even has paranormal elements. I loooved Out of Time, the first book in the series and am extremely excited that its sequel was released recently! So please give a warm welcome to Monique and read on to discover this amazing series!

(You can read my review of Out of Time here.)

When I started writing “Out of Time” I had a mishmoshed picture of what Simon Cross (the hero) looked like. He’s not the sort of romance hero you see on covers, shirtless and shiny. (And hooray for them because – hubba-hubba). He’s a forty-year old British professor of the occult who is …

Guestpost: Publishing Today – No Boundaries – All Options by M.J. Rose

Today we are happy to welcome author M.J. Rose at Book Lovers Inc. She’s an international bestselling author of numerous thrillers and mysteries who now decided to actually dare something new. She selfpublished a book full of fan fictions written by a published author. Today she will tell us about her choice to self-publish. Let’s give her a warm welcome!
In 1998 I self-published online in order to get a traditional deal.
I was taught to think outside the box. Before my grandfather was one of the original Mad Men, he and a group of other Air Force Intelligence officers formalized brainstorming as a problem solving technique. He taught the concept that creativity can be taught at Buffalo University. My dad invented toys. My mom was a photographer.

So when my agent told me that while publishers loved a lot about my work they …

“On the Release of My Novel, Embraced by the Shadows”

Embraced by the Shadows was just released two weeks ago. But the funny thing is, I wrote the book back in the 90’s and it was previously published with a different title and cover. So this is the new revised version that has come out.

The release of this novel feels kind of strange, because my writing has evolved and changed a …
