Tina the Teenage Zombie Reviews Hellforged by Nancy Holzner + Giveaway

We are very happy to welcome Tina Terror here to do. She’s here on Nancy Holzner‘s command to tell us what she thinks about her latest release, Hellforged. Please give our guest reviewer a warm welcome. There’s also a surprise at the end. *g*

Tina ZawadzkiTerror (sorry, she goes by her stage name now) was caught in Boston’s zombie plague at the age of fifteen when she and her BFF Jenna skipped school to go shopping for dresses to wear to an upcoming dance. Three years later, Tina still looks and acts the same as she did at fifteen—well, except for the spongy, gray-green skin, blood-red eyes, stiffness, and superhuman strength characteristic of all zombies. As Vicky’s apprentice, Tina knows the protagonist of my Deadtown series pretty well. And she has some strong opinions on the books. Here she is …

Monica Burns Talks Desserts & Other Yummy Confections + Giveaway

The Book Lovers are happy to turn the helm over to Monica Burns today who is going to chat with us about some very sweet things. 😉

Hi everyone, I’m delighted to be visiting here at Book Lovers, Inc., and a big thank you to Susi for inviting me to talk desserts with you. Desserts you ask? Yep, I’m talking bon bons. What are they? They’re the French expression for candy. They don’t necessarily start out as chocolate, but they’re more like fondant or other sweet candies that wind up being covered in chocolate. So many misinformed people think readers of romance do nothing but eat bon bons while indulging in our favorite occupation, but they’re wrong. If anything the actual bon bon we indulge in are the bon bons between the covers of our favorite romance novels. I’m talking …

Anyway, I’m kind …

Interview with a Vampire Writer by Kate Pearce + Giveaway

The Book Lovers are still enjoying their free time but luckily Kate Pearce agreed to share something with us today. It’s a secret transcription of a very special meeting. Stay tuned till the end and answer the question for your chance to win. 

Lord Christopher Ellis and Lady Rosalind Llewellyn are staring at their creator who is slumped over her desk chewing jelly beans and muttering to herself.

Christopher nudges Rosalind. “Is she always like this? So…deranged?”

Rosalind studies the writer. “Nay, she is usually much worse. Sometimes she swings around in her chair or leaps to her feet, and starts talking to herself and pulling faces.” Rosalind lowers her voice. “Sometimes she even borrows her daughter’s dollies and arranges them in interesting positions.”

“Now, that I would like to see.” Christopher’s blue eyes brighten and Rosalind elbows him in the ribs.

“We’re here …

Catscapades or Details of a Catfight by Gini Koch + Giveaway

One of the past year’s sensations has been Gini Koch‘s mindblowing debut novel to the the Kitty Katt series: Touched by an Alien. It provoked hyperventilation, incoherent rambling, fanning and sighing over Martini and Christopher, and of course contagious laughter. We Book Lovers all went nuts with our enthusiasm and love for this series, these characters, novels and this extraordinary author, so it went without saying that we absolutely wanted to have Gini over at BLI to introduce her to anyone who might not have yet read her books (seriously are there any of you like that?!) or just brighten your day.

Martini, Kitty and Christopher didn’t get the spotlight this time as the Kitty Brigade usurped it. Read on for more and for your chance to win.

My Fur-Filled Life by Gini Koch

I was supposed to write a …

Putting Romance in Fantasy by Joely Sue Burkhart + Giveaway

Today Joely Sue Burkhart will take you away to the land of romantic fantasy. Grab a seat and hold your breath. Be sure to stay tuned till the end and you might win a wonderful special prize pack.

It’s sort of like walking along the top of a fence with vipers on one side and spiders on the other. Well, maybe that’s a bit extreme, but balancing fantasy and romance in a story can be difficult.

Some fantasy lovers despise the “gushy stuff” in their meaty worldbuilding.

Some romance lovers despise the “funky names” in their lovely emotional relationship.

Some readers won’t pick up a book that doesn’t have a detailed map on the inside cover.

Some readers will be furious if they finish a book and either the hero or heroine dies – which can be a common event in a …

The Importance of Inspiration by Megan Hart + Giveaway

Yes still no Book Lovers here but today Megan Hart will tell you about how she finds inspiration in music and she will also show you some examples. *g* Be sure to answer her question at the end for your chance to win a little surprise.

Writing can be hard work. I know it might not look like much — sitting at a computer or with a notebook, typing or scribbling away. Staring off into space. I don’t know about how other authors work, but with me, there’s a lot of staring off into space. All the hard work’s going on inside my brains, you see.

Which is why it’s really great and important to find inspiration. I don’t mean I need inspiration in order to write. Frankly, writing’s my job and if I waited for some “muse” to come along and motivate me, I’d never get anything written at all. I believe …

Delilah Marvelle reviews her own book, Prelude to a Scandal

I’m good at shredding myself apart and what better way than to do it publicly? Heh. Okay, so let me start with why I wrote PRELUDE TO A SCANDAL and break it down from there. I wrote this book because after reading Casanova’s memoires and MY SECRET LIFE, I realized that …
