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 …

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 …

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 …

The Authors Strike Back with Cathryn Brunet & Stephanie Julian + Giveaway

As we say here in Germany “Rache ist Blutwurst!” (Revenge is Blood Sausage!) some author’s jumped up and screamed yes when we said yes you can actually grill us in return for all the evil questions we threw at you all year. So here is what Blutwurst looks like- we were actually forced to answer them all twitter style (140 characters or less). Please welcome today’s interviewers: Cathryn Brunet and Stephanie Julian. And if you endure it there is a surprise at the end. 😉

Cathryn Brunet: Do you compose a review of the book in your head as you’re reading or do you just try to enjoy (or not) the story?

Susi – The Geeky Lover: Depends. I take notes for review copies but just enjoy my pleasure reads. And …

Why I still agree to write a Guestpost by Moira Rogers + Contest

Ever wondered how author’s try to come up with a guestpost topic? Please welcome the Bree part of Moira Rogers here at Book Lovers Inc today and see how she tries to rock our Blogoversary. Be sure to take our challenge at the end for your chance to win a book.

I don’t always like to write guest blog posts. When I’m on my blog, I can post pictures of cats wearing funny hats and not worry that my relatively silly nature is going to bring down the tone of the place. My blog is, after all, a pretty silly place.

When I’m thinking about being on someone else’s blog, the pressure kicks in. I can’t just talk about cats wearing funny hats! I’m supposed to be a serious author! I must think of something profound and witty to say, or …

Our Blogoversary Party starts: Authors’ Takeover + Big Giveaway

The first thing we have to say is *please cover your ears* 
SQUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Can you believe it already has been a year? We can’t really.

So what better chance for me as the Geeky Lover to talk numbers. *Muahahhaha* This year practically flew by but in retrospective we achieved a lot. We published a total of 719 posts, with 226 of them being reviews. OMG I would have never thought it would be that much but yay! We also had some authors over at here and 82 of them were tortured by our, sometimes not so easy, questions (but believe me some of them got their revenge *big sigh*). Another 42 guestposts complete the list of people we will be always thankful for. But not only the authors made this possible. We found 678 kindred spirits and yes all of our readers deserve the …

YAY Susi is turning…20 (we agreed on 20 right? lol) .  If you don’t know it already Susi (@Susi_Sunshine) is a twitter addict *hides from the rock throwing*, by that I mean that she’s often on twitter (for my very pleasure) but also that she loves to torture authors by adding a Twitter Style question in their interviews. *g*  So I thought it would be great to keep torturing people by asking her friends for Twitter Style birthday wishes. *yes I’m evil*.
