What Kind of an Impression Did You Make?
by Terry Spear

If you met the man of your dreams, what kind of impression did you first make? What kind of an impression did he make on you?

Was it love at first sight, or did you think: what a loser! Or: no way would I get hooked up with him…he’s too cute, charming, too rich, too out of my league, too whatever?

When we’re writing fiction, we have to come up with ways that our heroine and hero are …

International ARC Giveaway: Alien vs. Alien by Gini Koch

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 …

(Stay tuned after the interview for a chance to win the bronze, the silver, AND the gold–stories, that is!)

Interview with Victoria Vane (Part One) + Giveaway

Today (and tomorrow!) we are incredibly pleased to welcome historical romance author Victoria Vane to Book Lovers Inc. Victoria has, by turns, enthralled, enraged, and enraptured us with her four-part novella series featuring the Devil Ludovic DeVere. In conjunction with the review of the fourth (but it turns out not totally final) story in the series, Victoria sat down and answered a few (lot) of our questions about her writing process and the series. She also let us make a few inquiries of DeVere and Diana, the hero and heroine of this Georgian-era erotic romance. Come back tomorrow for some detailed information on all the books in this luscious series, and some words from those two personages.

But first, let’s hear from their author, Victoria Vane.
