Guestpost: Disaster Romance? by Jill Sorenson + Giveaway
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.

Blurb:
Jackson Pierce didn’t make his fortune entertaining every half-cocked idea, especially one involving diaper changes. Not even the cute brunette who links him to the baby in her arms can crack his icy heart.
A baby on the doorstep is the least of Hannah Woods’s problems—she has to find the baby’s uncle, or the child will end up in foster care.
