Zoe Archer! Upcoming Releases! Come support her!

Zoe Archer has an upcoming release folks! The title is Half Past Dead and it comes out on December 29th! Her story “The Undying Heart” is the PREQUEL to her upcoming series The Blades of the Rose series that will release in:

Warrior – September 2010

Scoundrel – October 2010

Rebel – November 2010

Stranger – December 2010

That’s right folks- a book a MONTH! What a series! No need to wait for 6 months or a year for the next release! What more can you ask for? So definitely look for the release for this upcoming author! Here is a sneak peak for Decembers release:

The Undying Heart by Zoe Archer – Samuel Reed had no idea magic existed, until it almost destroyed him. Thirsting for vengeance against the enemy who made him something less than human, Sam returns to England and crosses paths with Cassandra Fielding. His best friend’s little sister has become a fearless woman on a dangerous mission of her own. And against all odds, she sees past what he’s become, and stirs a desire he thought he’d lost forever…Simon Says by Bianca D’Arc – Special Forces soldier Simon Blackwell ended his affair with Mariana Daniels three years ago, but he hasn’t stopped protecting her. Mariana has no knowledge of the dark, deadly creatures that lurk in the forest surrounding her clinic, or of the mysterious powers that make Simon the only one who can defeat them. But soon he’ll have no choice but to reveal the truth, and urge her to trust in an explosive passion that never faded.

I am looking forward to this! I love Bianca D’Arc, and I LOVE finding new authors! Join me in supporting these two great women!

Do you think....?

Here is one for you!

If you are a parent, do you think that it is ok for you to not like your friends kids? How about the way that they raise their kids? Does that make you a bad friend?

The reason this is brought up, and remember that this is a personal blog and in no way a voice for my site unless it is used as such, is because a friends kids are just out and out ticking me off. I am visitinig with an older friend, and this ... younger friend comes over with her three kids. We have had issues prior with her children. I am the "evil" person because the kids are brought to me to be disciplined. Yeah, thats right. She does not deal with her own kids. She brings them to me to be disciplined. Why you may ask? Because she has BAYBAYs (Bad A** Youngsters), who do not respect her nor listen to her. Big surprise right?

Well, I have been steadily getting sick of it all. All the drama, the annoyance, and the hassle. And trust me you can tell I am getting annoyed. The last of my patience is gone. She brings them over griping, moaning, and complaining- and here lately when they do something to me or mine and I go to discipline them I get attitude from her. I am done. Enough is enough. This is just getting out of hand with her, her kids, and my children (who are not angels themselves, but decently behaved) are learning bad things from them.

I DO NOT like children lying to me. Yet she teaches hers to lie to everyone. That they do no wrong, what is wrong is everyone elses fault. Yeah that is right. You read it right. I am just to that point where I am ready to stop it all. I Am tired of being the "responsible parent" of children that have two parents who are just too lazy to deal with their own kids! What do you think? Have a similair situation? Go ahead! Vent here! I don't mind! ;-) My vent is now over!

Beta Reading group

Wow! I started a beta reading group a while back, and it is taking off with a bang! I have recieved more intrest for readers than I truly expected! And now I need more authors! Never thought I would say that!

I have enjoyed meeting new people, and I love to help! So when I got into reviewing books, and meeting new authors, I thought to myself THIS is what I can do! I can help authors by giving them good, honest feedback!

I set up a small beta reading group, and let some of the new authors that I had been working with know that I could offer them honest opinions of their work- good, bad, and OMG that was GREAT! I enjoy being the go-between to the authors and fans, it has been a wonderful experience!

And now I have started a yahoo group to help me keep up with the readers! I still act as go between, the authors email me thier manuscripts, and I send them out, but with the use of the yahoo group it allows for me to keep track of the readers, their likes, dislikes, and ages alot easier. It also helps me keep up with what is age appropriate. Since I do help with YA and "all age" books, I keep teens on board as well so that those authors have input from the age group that they have in mind as they write!

So if you are an author who wants honest opinions, regardless of whether this is your first or fifteith book, or maybe just you first in a specific genre, then feel free to email me!

nicholandria@yahoo.com

and in the Subject line put- Manuscript for beta

we cover all genres! And welcome all authors!

Review by RachelCategories: Contests, Site News

The Last First Book We Ever Wrote
Hello there! My name is Bree, and I’m one half of the romance-writing, virtual-crime-fighting duo known as Moira Rogers. I’m here today because Bitten by Books was kind enough to agree to help us celebrate something really exciting that only comes once in an author’s lifetime: the release of the first book we ever wrote.
Awesome, right? We sure think so! Of course, the part that takes a little bit of explaining is the part where Crux is, in fact, our sixteenth ebook to be released. A lot has happened to us since fall of 2007, when we first sat down to try and tell the story of Mackenzie and Jackson, the heroine and hero who have to fight an evil supernatural conspiracy spanning generations to win their chance at a happy ending. We scampered off to hone our craft on short stories and novellas and learned from our experience. But we always came back to this story, because in the end we loved our tough determined heroine and her smooth talkin’ detective hero too much to leave alone.

Today, in honor of Crux’s release, we’ve teamed up with Bitten by Books for a chance to make someone else just as excited as we are. We have in our possession a NEW Apple iPod touch 8 GB (1st Generation) (Retail Value $229.00), perfect for listening to music AND reading books through the awesome application Stanza. The Apple iPod touch 8 GB also holds 1,750 songs or 10 hours of video. Go here to read all about it. We’re also going to give $50.00 and $25.00 Visa Gift Cards to two lucky runners up! All you need to do is read the rules below and enter this awesome contest. And if you happen to pick up a copy of Crux, we hope you’ll love Jackson and Mackenzie as much as we do!
Book Excerpt: “Jackson Holt makes a decent living as a private investigator in New Orleans, home of one of the largest underground supernatural populations in the United States. He and his partners have never met a case they couldn’t crack…until a local bar owner asks him to do a little digging on her newest hire.
New Orleans is the fourth destination in as many months for Mackenzie Brooks, a woman on the run from a deranged stalker. After all, any man who shows up on her doorstep claiming to be her destined lover has more than a few screws loose. But crazy doesn’t explain why he always finds her no matter how far she runs.
When her well-meaning boss puts a PI on her case, Mackenzie comes face to face with the incredible truth: magic is real, and whatever spell has kept her hidden and separate from the paranormal world is rapidly deteriorating.
With time running out, she has no choice but to trust Jackson as he struggles to uncover the truth of her past-and her destiny.”

Don't know the author? Here are the links to her books reviewed on BBB!
Slave To Sensation:
http://bittenbybooks.com/?p=4735
The wonderful debut of the series! A streamy paranormal romance that shows love can conquer tragedy, but it takes work.

Carressed By Ice:
http://bittenbybooks.com/?p=4743
This is the third book in the series! And a definite twist to the two previous books with a male Psy who harbors some Alpha tendacies towards a certain female changeling!

Mine to Possess:
http://bittenbybooks.com/?p=4752
This is the fourth book in the series! This is an erotic tale featuring a human female and changeling male! It is interesting not only for the spicy scenes, but for how alive the characters are portrayed.

Ghosts anyone?
