What does you character sound like?

You may be saying, what is she babbling about now It’s simple really. What voice would you put with your main character if you had the chance? Well, I had to figure that out this week and let me tell you, it was a blast! What I’m talking about is audio books. An author recently mentioned I ought to try it out, so I did. I went to ACX.com and set up an account. It’s really easy and may I say extremely fun and exasperating too. After you give them your general information, then the fun starts. You have to put your book information in and an excerpt that you want someone to read for an audition. Yep, you heard me right, an audition. You actually have people sending you auditions on the account. But the fun starts when you have to put in the settings you want. Here are...

Contributing to Avon and saying hello

This is a post to say hello to anyone who wound up here via Avon’s site. We’ve signed up to become a blog post contributor. Beverly Jenkins and Courtney Milan are two favorite authors (of both my mom and I) who've written for Avon. Courtney’s got a must read post on her site titled Digital Strategy in Historical Romance where she discusses the advantages of publishers having a digital strategy vs. not having one. Her article and accompanying comments are vital to authors at any stage of their career, from newbies to those already established. Anyway, feel free to take a look around, and this post will be updated a bit later with two cover faves from both Beverly and Courtney.

REVIEW by Jena: How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire (Love at Stake #1) by Kerrelyn Sparks (@KerrelynSparks, @avonbooks)

Nobody said love was perfect… Roman Draganesti is charming, handsome, rich…he’s also a vampire. But this vampire just lost one of his fangs sinking his teeth into something he shouldn’t have. Now he has one night to find a dentist before his natural healing abilities close the wound, leaving him a lop-sided eater for all eternity. Things aren’t going well for Shanna Whelan, either. After witnessing a gruesome murder, she’s next on the mob’s hit list. And her career as a dentist appears to be on a downward spiral, because she’s afraid of blood. When Roman rescues her from an assassination attempt, she wonders if she’s found the one man who can keep her alive. Though the attraction between them is immediate and hot, can Shanna conquer her fear of blood to fix Roman’s fang? And if she does, what will prevent Roman from using his fangs on her? This...
