Cover Reveal and Giveaway! DRAGONS ARE PEOPLE, TOO by Sarah Nicolas

Published by beckymmoe on 03/11/2015

Today, I’m revealing the cover for Dragons are People, Too, a young adult contemporary fantasy by Sarah Nicolas releasing April 28th from Entangled Teen. Read all the way through and scroll to the bottom for a giveaway. Never judge a dragon by her human cover… Sixteen-year-old Kitty Lung has everyone convinced she’s a normal teen—not a secret government operative, not the one charged with protecting the president’s son, and certainly not a were-dragon. The only one she trusts with the truth is her best friend—and secret crush—the über-hot Bulisani Mathe. Then a junior operative breaks Rule Number One by changing into…

Read on for some excellent advice from Rosa Sophia–and a giveaway! Ten Things You Should Know If You Want To Be An Author By Rosa Sophia   One: Patience is key.

Patience will get you much further in life than being hasty. Two: Writing is not easy. Someone who is dedicated to their craft needs to constantly work on improving it. Three: Always look…

Author Amy Andrews Talks About Her Musical Inspiration for ASK ME NICELY

Published by beckymmoe on 03/09/2015

 Ever wonder what music has inspired your favorite stories? MUSICAL INSPIRATION FOR ASK ME NICELY As I grappled with the mood, tone and logistics of the opening smexy scenes of Ask Me Nicely, one of the things I didn’t grapple with was the down and dirty soundtrack running through my head. Firstly as Sal, egged on by too much tequila, makes a pass at Doyle, the one man in the world she really, really shouldn’t (she’s his boss for god’s sake!) this sexy Chris Isaak song came to mind – Baby did do a bad, bad thing! And then as…

Published by beckymmoe on 03/08/2015

Make sure you check out the excerpt too! Devin Lyle and Craig Rockwell are back, this time to a haunted castle in Ireland where a banshee may have gone wild—or maybe there’s a much more rational explanation—one that involves a disgruntled heir, murder, and mayhem, all with that sexy light touch Heather Graham has turned into her trademark style. Review: When Irish Eyes are Haunting was both my first Krewe of Hunters novella and the first I’ve read of the 1001 Dark Nights series. It served as a nice introduction to both. If you’ve read the Krewe of Hunters books,…

New Release Spotlight: LOVE SURVIVES by Jennifer Foor

Published by beckymmoe on 03/08/2015

Check out the excerpt below! Love Survives: Imagine being in love with the same girl since you were ten years old, only to have her fall for your twin instead. This story is rocky. It will rip you apart and possibly put you back together again. I know this because it’s my story. The pain and anguish experienced in this is what it was like to hold onto hope that some day we’d find each other again.  I won’t sugar coat the details of what I went through to have her, nor will I apologize for any actions that led…

The Author as a Reader and Writer: Kate Tailor, Author of THE DESIGNED (with a giveaway!)

Published by beckymmoe on 03/08/2015

A peek into the mind of a writer… How I write my characters: When I start a book I’m never positive how a character will turn out. I write them in different scenarios to get a feel for their voice and how they behave. Some characters that have started out sweet end up with a little bit of a dark side. I try to make my characters dimensional. I don’t like reading stories where people fit into too neat of boxes. I like to think that my characters surprise the reader at times while still staying true to themselves.  …
