Interview with Lily Harlem + FREE story

Thanks to review requests we sometimes discover little gem of stories and new favourite authors and that’s what happened to me when I had the chance of crossing paths with Lily Harlem‘s first novel in her steamy hockey players series, Hired. I knew she was an author I should keep my eyes on and since then she has proven me right. I loved her latest release That Filthy Book so much that it became a favourite book of 2012 (you can read my detailed review here)! So I am very happy that I could sit down with Lily and get to know her and her novels better. Please join me in welcoming Lily Harlem to Book Lovers Inc! (and you could also grab a free hot story, read the details below)

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

Lily: Thanks …

Stella and Jackie: The Kingmaker’s Daughter by Philippa Gregory

Spies, poison, and curses surround her…. Is there anyone she can trust? In The Kingmaker’s Daughter, #1 New York Times bestselling author Philippa Gregory presents a novel of conspiracy and a fight to the death for love and power at the court of Edward IV of England.

The Kingmaker’s Daughter is the gripping story of the daughters of the man known as the “Kingmaker,” Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick: the most powerful magnate in fifteenth-century England. Without a son and heir, he uses his …

Around the Bookish World: Week-In-Review

Welcome to this week’s news post!  There is news of the closure of the legal ebook lending site – LendInk due to pressure by authors who viewed it as a pirate site, Amazon’s rumoured new Kindles and textbooks retal as well cover reveals which features Patricia Briggs’ Frost Burned which was unveiled this week.

 

The major news that hit this week, was the closure and fallout over LendInk the legal site that lends Kindle and Nook ebooks to readers.  A few weeks ago on twitter a group of authors were frantically tweeting that this was a pirate site that was illegally lending their ebooks to readers which has closed the site due to the Cease & Desist letters and pressure from angry authors who assumed this was an illegal site. This led to the hosting site to close down LendInk  but the irony is that the author have themselves …

Guest Post: Writing Mean by Lexi George + Giveaway

Today we are really happy to welcome to Book Lovers Inc Lexi George to celebrate her newest release, Demon Hunting in the Deep South, the second installment in her successful Demon Hunting series. And Lexi stops by here today to talk about a really interesting topic: Writing Mean. Don’t want to spoil things for you, read on and be prepared to laugh 🙂 And don’t forget to check at the end of the post for your chance to win a copy of her book.

 

One of biggest surprises to me in writing the demon hunter series is how much I enjoyed writing the character Meredith Starr Peterson. Why? Because Meredith is not the heroine or the witty and loyal best friend.

Meredith is a mean girl.

I based Meredith on a real life meanie, my oldest daughter’s high school nemesis. Aha! I thought. Payback for making my darling daughter miserable, you evil …

Romance and Me: The Wedding Romance

Hey Everyone!

With one of this week’s guest author (Christi Barth) and her novel Planning For Love I realized we never discussed wedding romances, and summer being the season for weddings,  now is the perfect time!

What are wedding romances you ask? Well romance stories which are focused around weddings! Either the heroine or the hero (or both of them) has a wedding related job, like wedding planner, photographer, florist, baker, etc.

Long before I realized these kinds of books existed I was already a fan of this type of movies: My Best Friend’s Wedding, The Wedding Planner, etc. Even if the movie wasn’t of great quality I very much enjoyed getting a glimpse of the behind the scenes of how a wonderful lavish wedding is put together. And when this is combined with a group of close friends, so that besides the wedding preparations we …

Bookish Rants or Raves: Do Not Meddle in the Affairs of Dragons

Warning: I devour any and all books, movies, or shows that feature dragons. I’ve exhaustively researched dragon mythology. I unintentionally convinced a guy to smuggle a short dragon sword out of the country for me. I make a living by arguing with awful people about the semantics of domestic violence.* I have opinions about dragons and writing. And I have ZERO tolerance for misuse of these magnificent creatures.

So, without further ado, I present…

The Five Dragon Books You Should NEVER read, or The Draconic UnMentionables.

Dear Authors, when you squander the brilliance of dragons, you earn my enmity until the end of time.

I am here today to warn my fellow readers. No one should suffer as I have suffered. No one should be pulled in with promises of draconic glory, only to see the glorious creatures debased and defiled.

Le Morte D’Arthur by Thomas Malory.

You expect me to believe a dragon …
