Guest Post: My Favourite Type of Mythology by Lucy Felthouse + Giveaway

I am happy to cede the blog to Lucy Felthouse who is here today to tell you ablout her new anthology project Seducing the Myth which contains more than two dozens of steamy mythological retellings or myth inspired erotic short stories. As a big dan of mythology and legends I was intrigued and curious to hear more about this project. Read on to discover Lucy’s take on myths and to get a first taste of the anthology!

 
 
One of the suggestions I was given when I organised this guest spot (thanks so much for having me here, by the way!) was to talk about my favourite type of mythology. Now, that’s actually not quite as straightforward as it sounds. The reason being, I don’t really have a favourite type. Ever since I was a small child I’ve loved stories of all kinds; true ones, fictional ones, old ones, new ones… I’m just a sucker …

Have you ever wondered where you go when you die?

Haven’t we all at some point? I used to do it a lot as a kid. Is heaven for real and what is it going to be like once I get there? What kind of a body will I have? What will I look like? Will all of my family come with me? Will I meet my grandmother there?

When I was …

Guest Post: Author Henry Mosquera + Giveaway

Please join us in welcoming Author Henry Mosquera to BLI today. Mr. Mosquera is here to celebrate the release of his first novel Sleepers Run, which has garnered a number of rave reviews. He enjoys researching his novels extensively, including gaining first-hand knowledge of some of his characters’ skills. Mr. Mosquera currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife, dog and cat. He also has a background in Graphic Design. 🙂

Write about what you know, but if you don’t know…

I loved researching “Sleeper’s Run.” Well, I love research, period. Granted, many of the themes portrayed in the story are of general interest to me, so not only did I have a good running start, but it also made the process more enjoyable. Piles of non-fiction texts, documentaries and articles informed me about history, politics, military units, tactics, technology, …

“On the Release of My Novel, Embraced by the Shadows”

Embraced by the Shadows was just released two weeks ago. But the funny thing is, I wrote the book back in the 90’s and it was previously published with a different title and cover. So this is the new revised version that has come out.

The release of this novel feels kind of strange, because my writing has evolved and changed a …

Guest post: On A Cloudy Day by Nishi Serrano + Giveaway

Today we would like to welcome to Book Lovers Inc. Nishi Serrano whose highly unique (and very steamy!) erotic steampunk novella was released recently (you can read my review here). She is here to tell us more about the unique setting of her novella and how the inspiration struck to combine erotica and steampunk. Please give her a warm welcome!

As a child, the things around you are often the inspirations for who you will be when you grow up—if one ever decides to grow up, that is! Television shows watched (be they black and white or technicolor), books read, environments lived—these will shape you, even if you don’t want them to.

A cloudy day sky on a breezy beach caught my imagination. Appearing like a whale that should have been swimming in the ocean, instead was swimming through the sky. It was a Zeppelin. In the 1970’s blimps and Zeppelins …

My Lifetime Love of Reading by LSUReader + Giveaway

We are happy to welcome LSUReader here at our Book Lovers United celebration. When we started brainstorming about who to ask for a guest post she was on the list ASAP but we weren’t sure if she would agree. She isn’t a blogger like the rest of our guests. So we were unbelievably proud and happy happy when she agreed to come over. LSUReader will tell us about her life and how tightly reading is woven into it. Please give her an extra warm welcome. Mom must have read to me in utero. I can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t love reading.
What I can remember is sitting on my father’s lap in his living room recliner, while he taught me to read from Dr. Seuss books. I was four. He’d pronounce each word carefully, then read the sentence completely, with …
