We are really happy and excited to have Julie Kagawa here with us today, author of the Iron Fey series, which includes The Iron King, Winter’s Passage (read my review of it later today), and the upcoming The Iron Daughter. I was lucky enough to have already read The Iron Daughter which is going to be released July 27th, so most of the questions center around that…
The YA Lover: In The Iron Daughter, Meghan grows from what I can only call a meek, timid, shy girl willing to “go with the flow” to a strong ray of light, blinding and ever present in her resolve, love and determination; did you mirror her after anyone in your life or is she perhaps a melting pot of amazing qualities those around you possess? JK: Meghan was actually the hardest character …
Today we are very happy to welcome Nicole Peeler, author of the Jane True series on Book Lovers,Inc. Her new book Tracking the Tempest was released earlier this week. (I am in love with her book covers!) Let’s give Nicole a warm welcome!
The HEA Lover: First can we call you Nicole or do you prefer Dr. Peeler?
Nicole: Everywhere outside of the classroom I’m Nicole. But some people enjoy calling me Dr. Peeler. I think it’s because I don’t look anything like a serious professor.
The HEA Lover: For everyone who doesn’t know you: tell us a bit about yourself?
Nicole: I grew up outside of Chicago, but left for college. I’ve lived all over the place and I love to travel. Right at this second, I’m living in Louisiana, but I’m just about to move to Pennsylvania to teach at …
We here at Book Lovers Inc. are so happy to welcome Jacquelyn Wheeler author of both Rising Shadow and Merger (book 1 and 2 in The Soterians series). Both of which, I enjoyed!The YA Lover: Hi there Jacquelyn, I hope you’re doing well…could you tell us a little bit about yourself, how you got into writing, and why you decided to go the self-publishing route?
JW: Hi Jenn! I’ve been a professional writer in software for 19 years, and I’ve written some children’s stories, poetry, and screenplays for fun. But when I got the idea for the Soterians series, I knew right away that it was going to be a series of five novels, and I knew that these stories were powerful enough that they had to go out in the world and not just sit on my desk. I queried a few …

The Cornered Lover: How long have you been writing?
Cynthia: Hmmm…pretty much since the 1st grade. J I’ve always loved writing, and even when I was a kid, I’d scribble down short stories and read them to my mom. I wrote my first novel when I was 18 (it’s buried in a closet some place b/c it is VERY bad) and then fast forward fifteen years…and I’m a full-time writer now.
The Cornered Lover: What is one of your favorite things to do?
Cynthia: I love going to …
We here at Book Lovers Inc. are so happy to welcome Kristina McBride author of Tension of Opposites, which officially hit the shelves last month! (I enjoyed it very much, you can read my review tomorrow on Book Crazy!)The YA Lover: First off Kristina, would you mind telling us a bit about yourself and how you got into writing? KM: I lived across the street from a library when I was a young child and have always had a voracious appetite for books and words. When I was in high school, I began journaling obsessively – everything from song lyrics to poems to short stories. It wasn’t until I finished my Masters Degree and quit my job teaching high school English that I dove headfirst into writing my first novel. (I know the order of things doesn’t make sense, but …
Today we are very happy to welcome Jocelynn Drake, author of the Dark Days series on Book Lovers,Inc. Her new book Pray for Dawn will be released next week and Wait for Dusk only a month later! Let’s give Jocelynn a warm welcome!
The HEA Lover*: Jocelynn, can you please tell us a bit about yourself?
Jocelynn: Is there more to life than writing? For me, the answer would have to be “not much.” A Cincinnati, Ohio native, I started writing stories at the age of twelve and have never looked back from those early days of retelling the tale of Robin Hood so that it included a kick-ass heroine that could keep up with the rest of the boys. Over the years, I have jumped from genre to genre, finding new ways …
Today I’m interviewing our very own JoJo, The Cornered Lover. Why? Because it’s her birthday today! Her short bio is posted on our “About Us” page, but I thought that a more in-depth look at her views on books, reading and blogging would be interesting. We’ll be adding more “Interview with a Book Lover” posts for the other bloggers in our group later.
Now for the interrogation. I mean interview. 😉
The Eclectic Lover: Have you always been a reader?
JoJo: No, actually I haven’t. I have just recently gotten back into reading about 1 1/2 years ago. *blushes* I know right!!! I used to read when I was younger but I just kinda fell out of reading. And then I had a friend hound me and hound me until I decided to try the Twilight series. *grins* Yes, I said Twilight series. …
