Interview with Lucie LeBieu
by Elle James

Guest post by Ros Baxter + Giveaway

We are happy to welcome to Book Lovers Inc. Ros Baxter, author of Fish Out of Water, a mermaid story unlike any other you know! So join us as Ros tells us about her fascination with mermaids and how HER kind of mermaid is nothing like Ariel 😉 Ros, take it away! 😀

The best thing about children…

…is that they haven’t yet been told there is stuff they can’t do.

At least mine haven’t.

So when I asked my daughter (4) the other day what she wanted to be when she grew up, she told me with that trademark don’t-you-remember look on her face: “A pirate, of course.” Ah, of course. Silly me.

Pirate

And when I asked my son (7), he shot me an almost identical look (genes are scary) and said: ”Rock star, remember?”

For me, it was always a mermaid.

Guestpost: Author Amara Royce + Giveaway

Today we’re happy to welcome  Amara Royce on Book Lovers Inc.  Her new historical romance, Never Too Late , was released last week. Let’s give a warm welcome to Amara! And don’t forget you can win a copy of her book!
Thank you so much to Book Lovers, Inc. for having me here! I’m very excited that Never Too Late is now “out in the wild.” It is my great pleasure to introduce you to the heroine of Never Too Late, Mrs. Honoria Duchamp, and to explain how she came into existence.

I am a ravenous reader of historical romances, and I noticed a few years ago that older heroines are rather rare in the genre. In fact, “older” in a Regency or Victorian tends to be a woman’s late twenties, when she has been out on the “marriage mart” for a few seasons and is slipping toward …

(And of course two fantastic giveaways await you at the end 😉 )

Dream Jobs

Tonga vista

When I was writing Wife in Name Only, I thought Zoe’s job of running a boutique honeymoon resort on a small island in Tonga was a dream job! Living on a Pacific …

. . . .

We all have stress in our lives and deal with it in different ways. Book lovers curl up in their favorite comfy chair with a novel and lose themselves in another world. Some people sweat it out at the gym, or hike or bike ride in the great outdoors. Others veg out on the couch with a yummy snack, watching their favorite show. Maybe you set your mind to a task that you can get lost in, like knitting, gardening, or playing …

Behind the Scenes Secret Revelation Post: the Making of Sharp
by Alex Hughes

They say there are two things you don’t want to see made: sausage and laws. I’d add a third to the list: a second book in a series.

When we sold Clean and knew there would be a second book, I found myself in the interesting position of having to write a book on a deadline, something I’d never done before. …
