Published by beckymmoe on 02/19/2016

Welcome, Suzanne! What 5 things should readers know about you? I’m originally from South Africa and grew up in Johannesburg. In the past 8 years I’ve lived in 4 countries on 3 continents.

Published by beckymmoe on 12/19/2014

Who’s in need of a warm-up? Dozens of chances to win–visit them all! Winter’s almost officially here! (Though I swear I can still hear the 60+ inches of snow we got just a few short weeks ago laughing–winter weather waits for no calendar date, obviously.) My favorite way to avoid shoveling and stay warm in the winter is–or course–staying inside reading a delicious book with a nice warm beverage to keep me company. (Okay, and maybe a teensy piece of chocolate. Or two. Perhaps a cookie as well. But I digress…) Some books from my TBR pile that I’m especially looking…

Published by beckymmoe on 05/20/2014

Paranormal romance author Renea Mason offers advice for new and aspiring authors out there… Advice for the New Authors As a new author, I found myself inundated with advice.  Everyone seemed to have the answers but me. The publishing world is uncertain and no one has a crystal ball that provides all the answers, even though some would like you to think they do.  Everyone has a tasty tidbit that will make a difference, but in the end this is art. Successful art careers are equal parts talent, hard work, perseverance and pure dumb luck. You can have three of the…
