Marlene: Heather can you please tell us a bit about yourself?

In the meantime, I’m a lifelong fan of science fiction romance. I’ve been blogging about SF-romance blends in books, films, and television shows at The Galaxy Express since 2008.
Flash-forward to 2010: I expanded my …

Today I’m happy to introduce you to the author of another one of Entangled Publishing’s new releases: Aleah Barley, whose novel Too Hot to Handle featuring a sexy car-thief heroine and an irresistible police detective was released just a couple of weeks ago.

Please give Aleah a warm welcome and if you answer her questions you could even win a copy of her book!
Stella: Hi Aleah, welcome to Book Lovers Inc! Can you please tell us a bit about yourself?
Aleah: Sure, I can’t go into much detail because I’m currently being licked to death by a giant fluffy cat. Makes it hard to type. I’m a humorous (I hope) romance writer living in Detroit, Michigan, and wishing …
Happy Monday, ladies and gents! We here at BLI are ready to start this new week off right with a visit from Jus Accardo, author of YA paranormal romance and urban fantasy.
We’re fortunate that Jus was gracious enough to answer our barrage of questions about her writerly life and her acclaimed YA series, Denizen. Oh yeah, and some about her love of gaming and comic lore (which by itself already makes her freakin’ badass, in our book.) Please give her a warm welcome (and don’t forget to check out the end of the interview, for more giveaway goodness)!

Jus: I’m a World of Warcraft addict that drinks entirely too much coffee and spends 90% of her time hanging with people who don’t exist.
Amanda: Describe a typical day of writing? Are …
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 …
Today I’m really excited to welcome author Kate Evangelista to Book Lovers, a YA author, who mark my words, is bound to do great things in the future! Her debut novel, Taste, is one of the best YA novels I read this year and certainly the most impressing one. The freshness of Kate’s voice and the way she presents her stories, are indicating a great story teller, at least in my opinion 🙂
So, let’s welcome Kate and let her describe in her own words her book. And don’t forget to check at the end of the post for a giveaway of Taste!
Anna: Kate, can you please tell us a bit about yourself?
Kate: I’m a full time writer who enjoys watching TV. I believe there’s a lot to learn about writing by watching shows like The Vampire Diaries, Sons of Anarchy, White Collar, the list goes on and on. 🙂 I …
