Stacia: Well, I guess it depends on what you want to know! I’ve been writing for about five years; well, I’ve been writing for longer, but I’ve been writing with an eye toward publication for about five years, and I’ve been publishing for about four. I started out writing romance, then erotic romance, but it just seemed like as much as I love the genre, my voice and the kinds of stories I wanted to tell …

I received this book from the publisher for review.Book Blurb:THE DEPARTED HAVE ARRIVED.
The world is not the way it was. The dead have risen, and the living are under attack. The powerful Church of Real Truth, in charge since the government fell, has sworn to reimburse citizens being harassed by the deceased.
Consequently, there are many false claims of hauntings from those hoping to profit. Enter Chess Putnam, a fully-tattooed witch, freewheeling Debunker, and ghost hunter. She’s got a real talent for nailing human liars and banishing the wicked dead. But she’s keeping a dark secret from the Church: a little drug problem that’s landed her in hot and dangerous water.
Chess owes a lot of money to a …
Today I am so excited and honored to have Jen Nadol guest post. Jen is the author of The Mark, her debut novel which was released earler this year and one of my top reads thsi year! Since she was in the process of editing book two, The Vision, I thought it would be interesting to see what she had learned….
I’d written almost all of this guest post about the evolution of my writing process from book one to book two when I realized it wasn’t telling the right story. I was focused on what changed between The Mark, published in January, and its sequel, Vision, due out in 2011. I hadn’t come up with a whole lot.
That’s because though The Mark is my first published book, it’s not the first one I wrote. To see …

So this week for Bookish Eye Candy we have book 3 of the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series: Lover Awakened. This book is about Zsadist, who seems to be one of the most popular characters in this series.
So it will definitely be interesting to see what everyone envision Zsadist to look like.

Publishers Weekly sent out a very eye-catching tweet this morning about a science fiction writer offering cash for readers. I had to click on that link being a science fiction reader. It is an interesting article at guardian.co.uk about writer Peter Riley who is hoping to attract attention that will lead to a publisher for his novel. I haven’t looked at the book, but his method for finding a publisher seems…novel.

Creating the Ælven World
I fell in love with Tolkein’s elves in Lord of the Rings, which I first read before my teens. Like many readers, I snapped up other fantasy novels after I was out of Tolkein, but usually the heros were humans. Elves, if they appeared at all, were relegated to supporting roles. Eventually I got tired of seeing elves always in the background, and along with the …
I love finding out about new series. I was persuaded to start reading the series called the Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward. Everyone told me that this series was going to be amazing so I ran to start reading it. I just finished the first book and I know that reading the whole series will be lots of fun to read.
I love how the characters are so deep and you only learn who they really are as you read about them in each book. Wrath is the brother of the first book. The best way to explain it is to quote Shrek: “[the characters] are like onions (or as Donkey says cake) because they have layers”. I think that sums it up pretty well.
There are so many different ways vampires are depicted in books. Every author has a different …
