The Entitled Alpha:

I’ve been thinking a lot about alpha males lately, in large part due to the discussions I’ve been having with fellow authors regarding the nature of the alpha/beta dichotomy. I enjoy reading about both types of men, and I don’t think that the line between alpha and beta is as clear-cut as many would like to believe. Good …

Years ago I was on a business trip to Colorado that was slated to be a five-day visit. A large storm rolled in just as I was packing my belongings to head home. That Friday afternoon I sat in the local airport in Colorado Springs praying that the snow would stop long enough for my flight to get off the ground. It didn’t happen. I was stuck for two more days at a beautiful Embassy …

Author Interview with Jeannie Lin + Giveaway

I’ll tell you a secret: besides being the Latin Lover and a big fan of Latin culture, I’ve been fascinated by the rich history and culture of China ever since my pre-teens. For my graduation gift I asked for a 2week trip to visit the imperial cities of China from my parents and since then my interest for it has grown.

So when I heard about My Fair Concubine, a historical romance set in Ancient China (!!) which was a retelling of My Fair Lady, I couldn’t say “Yes!” fast enough! 😀 Since then I devoured My Fair Concubine and discovered a new favourite author in Jeannie Lin. (You can read my review here.) So it is my great pleasure to welcome her to Book Lovers Inc. today and tell you all about her novels and all the research and secret that goes into writing …
