Forbidden Temptations…
Serena Kelley is an archaeologist and treasure hunter—and a woman with a secret.

Around the Bookish World: News Week-in-Review
Breaking Dawn news:
Casting rumours suggest that the producers have found the girl to play Renesmee although this is all rumoured right now but the movie will start shooting this Fall and will be split into two parts.
Producers have also said that the birth scene in Breaking Dawn will be visceral and intense but wont focus on the blood but on Bella’s point of view.
Sony has just announced its new ereaders, which will be available soon. All of the new models feature new Pearl screens and will have touch screens, however they wont be as cheap as the new Kindle which I think is pretty disappointing. And even though they have more of a push and market outside the US. I personally think that the Kindle which has finally got full support and now cheaper books will …

As writers we tend to spend our time focusing on our main character, or hero/heroine. They are what the story is about, they are often the ones telling it or at least in some way, we are seeing the world through their eyes. So we labor over every minute character detail. Our MC is brave, honest, smart, but also scared, clumsy, or challenged. We know them better than we know ourselves. We know their …

It’s kind of out in the open now that Dorchester isn’t doing so great financially (the whole shebang with RWA and not fulfilling contractual obligations meant something definitely had to be done) so I hope that the shift in focus helps them regain some stability and move forward. I’m a recent convert to the lovely world of ebooks so I think the possibility for them to turn things around is definitely there and this may be a big opportunity for them if it’s handled properly.
Congrats hon! I will Email you know. =)
