Good morning everyone! Thanks for having me back here at Love to Read for Fun! I’m thrilled to be able to talk about my debut historical, Bound by Decency. And I thought I’d kick off today with a personal one-on-one with Cain.
What did you think the first moment you saw India? Be truthful, Cain.

Guest Post: Writing Mean by Lexi George + Giveaway
Today we are really happy to welcome to Book Lovers Inc Lexi George to celebrate her newest release, Demon Hunting in the Deep South, the second installment in her successful Demon Hunting series. And Lexi stops by here today to talk about a really interesting topic: Writing Mean. Don’t want to spoil things for you, read on and be prepared to laugh 🙂 And don’t forget to check at the end of the post for your chance to win a copy of her book.
One of biggest surprises to me in writing the demon hunter series is how much I enjoyed writing the character Meredith Starr Peterson. Why? Because Meredith is not the heroine or the witty and loyal best friend.
Meredith is a mean girl.
I based Meredith on a real life meanie, my oldest daughter’s high school nemesis. Aha! I thought. Payback for making my darling daughter miserable, you evil …

Sunday Cravings
Hello Book Lovers all around the world! How are you? How did you spend your weekend? Mine was busy enjoying myself at a beach and later cursing the scorching sun for making me look like a clown. And I was under an umbrella the whole time with the appropriate sunblock on… Anyway, back to books. Next week is yet another not so crowded with book releases week. Which is a good thing. I’m barely able to keep up with my TBR list. So, no new books is a good thing on my book 😛 But, even if there aren’t many scheduled releases, we somehow manage to always crave for something new.
So, here are this week’s Sunday Cravings.
Stella: Thirteen by Kelley Armstrong
The #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong delivers the novel her fans have been clamoring for: The epic finale of the Otherworld series.
