Guest post: Endangered Places in the New Digital World by Elizabeth Means + Giveaway
We welcome to BLI today Elizabeth Means, author of Dangerous Charade a unique combination of historical romance and Victorian detective novel. Please give a warm welcome to Elizabeth and read on, you could win a copy of her book!
Another bookstore in my area closed up shop earlier this month. It would appear the closing of Borders was only the beginning of a very disturbing trend. In the same week my local library announced they will soon be offering e-books for checkout and unveiled a nifty self-checkout scanner at the front desk.
Speaking as a writer who finds great inspiration in places where I’m surrounded by gobs and gobs of books and by the people who love them as much as I do…I am troubled by this news.
I understand the digital winds of change are blowing strong, and with them new opportunities for everyone. But …
Guest Post: "Where’s Your Kink" by Cari Silverwood + Giveaway
We are delighted to welcome Cari Silverwood to BLI today to talk about a kinky subject related to Iron Dominance, her August 2011 Loose ID publication. Iron Dominance was released to rave reviews and has been nominated in 4 Categories in the Authors After Dark 2012 Bookie Awards!
Cari lives in Australia, with her lovely family including a prerequisite teenager who dwells in the dark bedroom catacombs…a husband who raises eyebrows when he catches glimpses of what she writes, and a furry menagerie of other animals barking, meowing, and swimming about the place.
Before writing her first novel, Three Days of Dominance she had never dipped her little toes in the hot and lust-swirled sea of erotica. Now every time she turns around, there’s some new character making her write down their story in the most lurid way. Her people are quite adamant about explaining creative new ways of making …

Guest Post: Five Simons: The Many Faces of One Hero by Monique Martin + Giveaway
I am very happy to welcome to BLI and introduce to you today Monique Martin, author of the Out of Time series: a highly original and fantastic series which combines time travel, romance, and even has paranormal elements. I loooved Out of Time, the first book in the series and am extremely excited that its sequel was released recently! So please give a warm welcome to Monique and read on to discover this amazing series!
(You can read my review of Out of Time here.)
When I started writing “Out of Time” I had a mishmoshed picture of what Simon Cross (the hero) looked like. He’s not the sort of romance hero you see on covers, shirtless and shiny. (And hooray for them because – hubba-hubba). He’s a forty-year old British professor of the occult who is …

She has been kind enough to include an ebook copy of Open Minds to one lucky commenter! Please give Susan a warm welcome.
When I first started writing fiction, three years ago, it was like an addiction. It gripped me, and I wrote day and night, stealing time from everywhere for this torrid love affair I was having with the written word. The mania subsided (a little), but I’ve never had a problem with motivation for writing. Motivation to do the laundry? Lacking. Motivation to clean the house? Well, I’ve never had that. But writing moved me, pulled me to my chair at the computer like …
Guestpost: Publishing Today – No Boundaries – All Options by M.J. Rose
Today we are happy to welcome author M.J. Rose at Book Lovers Inc. She’s an international bestselling author of numerous thrillers and mysteries who now decided to actually dare something new. She selfpublished a book full of fan fictions written by a published author. Today she will tell us about her choice to self-publish. Let’s give her a warm welcome!
In 1998 I self-published online in order to get a traditional deal.
I was taught to think outside the box. Before my grandfather was one of the original Mad Men, he and a group of other Air Force Intelligence officers formalized brainstorming as a problem solving technique. He taught the concept that creativity can be taught at Buffalo University. My dad invented toys. My mom was a photographer.
So when my agent told me that while publishers loved a lot about my work they …

Why should men always have the power of choice when it comes to love? Is it right that we women have no choice but to sit and wait for a man decide to honor us with his declarations–usually uttered in the form of a demand? And all we as women may do is say “yes” …

In the spirit of the Halloween holiday, I’m asking the question, “What scares you?”
While researching this subject, I ran across a blog post about how to scare people on Halloween night written by a guy who runs a Haunted House. He says there are two kinds of approaches to scare tactics: 1) eliciting a “startle” response or 2) evoking a “fight or flight” response. Then …
