One Hot Knight!Christy Gissendaner Genre: Paranormal Romance Publisher: Entangled Publishing Covet Imprint Date of Publication: 7/22/13 ISBN: 9781622662340 ASIN: B00DK43O7E Amazon     BN   Kobo   iTunes Book Description: Stupid curse! Yves Sucat was a Crusader trapped in a canine body…until a beautiful twenty-first century dog groomer offered the missing link to break his spell. But Regina Patterson was no fluffy-headed female who would instantly melt at Yves' silvery seduction. The more time he spent with the tender-hearted blonde, the less he was able to keep his paws—hands!—off of her. Regina was much more comfortable with dogs than men, and the stunningly handsome – stunningly male – knight who now shared her apartment was no exception. She’d hoped to find a man as loyal as the pooches she pampered day after day, but would Yves’s broken curse end with her own broken heart?   About th...

  Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Deborah Jay Author of The Prince's Man     1. What made you want to be a writer? I’ve always been a storyteller, and as soon as I could read I wanted to be a writer to share those stories that are buzzing around inside my head. I devoured everything at the local library that involved space ships or magic, and I wrote my first book when I was 8 – Samantha, the Adventurous Poodle. Why a poodle? I’ve no idea, but she popped into my brain and demanded to be shared and I’ve been writing ever since.   2. Who is your favorite author? Tricky – there are so many! If I must pick just one, then it will have to be Ursula Le Guin, doyen of science fiction and fantasy. 3. What is the name of the last book you read ‘Death by a Honeybee’ – along with my devotion to SFF. I love a good murder mystery and this was a great read. 4. Tell us about yourself in 3 words? Busy, ginger, sporty 5. What is your favorite ...

Today I the pleasure of interviewing Celia Breslin. 1. What made you want to be a writer?

  King of Bad Jeff Mean would rather set fires than follow rules or observe curfew. He wears his bad boy image like a favorite old hoodie; that is until he learns he has superpowers and is recruited by Super Villain Academy – where you learn to be good at being bad. In a school where one kid can evaporate all the water from your body and the girl you hang around with can perform psychic sex in your head, bad takes on a whole new meaning. Jeff wonders if he’s bad enough for SVA. He may never find out. Classmates vilify him when he develops good manners. Then he’s kidnapped by those closest to him and left to wonder who is good and who is bad. His rescue is the climactic episode that balances good and evil in the super world. The catalyst – the girl he’s crushing on. A girlfriend and balancing the Supers is good, right? Or is it…bad?   Amazon * Barnes & Noble Goodreads * Whiskey Creek Press   Author Kai Stand When the electricity winked out, Kai Strand g...

Amazon e-book link Replacing Gentry by Julie N. Ford  When Marlie agrees to attend a cadaver ball at Vanderbilt Medical School, she did not expect to actually see any cadavers. Or, that a strange apparition would issue her a chilling message. Despite the cadaver's warning, Marlie is married a year later to Tennessee State Senator, Daniel Cannon, and living in a plantation-style mansion with two step-sons. Add to the mix her growing suspicion that something is amiss with the death of Daniel’s first wife, Gentry, and newlywed Marlie is definitely in over her pretty Yankee head. What begins as an innocent inquiry into her new husband’s clouded past ends with Marlie in the midst of a dangerous conspiracy. A modern twist on the classic Gothic romance novels of Rebecca and Jane Eyre, Replacing Gentry follows Marlie’s precarious journey as she learns the truth about the man she married.

  It is that time again, Fall season means back to school time. Time to regulate bed times, get together school clothes, check school supply lists. One thing I like to do before the school year is to review school year rules. During the summer it is a totally different set of rules. I am more flexible with bed times and TV times. But during the school year, it is on point time. A neat trick is to post the rules so you can refer the kids to them, when they question one and they will. Below are some of the things I do to get ready for the upcoming school year: Print of school supply list from school website Check my school supply stash Go through clothes to see what items they need The weeks leading up to the beginning of school check sales flyer's for ads Buy tissue boxes and  hand sanitizer Check the school website for Meet the Teacher day Sign up for weekly school newsletter (they usually are done by email) If your child's school has a Home Access system(...
