  Character Interview: Chris Camden and James Callahan Best Friends, Business Partners and Cyber Lords   I recently caught up with Chris Camden and James Callahan, co-founders of LazerShark, the hottest gaming website in cyberspace.

Helen Goltz, Author of THE CLAIRVOYANT’S GLASSES on Naming Characters (with a giveaway!)

Naming a Character and Other Tough Decisions by Helen Goltz Okay, it’s not like you are naming your first-born, but it might as well be. That name you choose for your characters must reflect the character through thick and thin; they have to live up to it or down to it; it might have to be sexy or tough or mysterious. When choosing a name for my masculine stars in The Clairvoyant’s Glasses, I chose the name Lukas for my male witch because it was sexy, interesting and old-world. It didn’t lend itself to nicknames. For the street-smart police officer…

Author Laura Welling tells us where the idea for new release HEIR TO THE PACK came from (with a giveaway!)

They’ve both been carrying a secret: She had a son from their three day fling and he’s a werewolf. How will each react to the news and will the news save their son?   Where did the idea for Heir to the Pack come from?   I am lucky to have some wonderful author friends and critique partners.
