Since I’m planning on releasing my first novel this month, and it’s crazy enough already, of course I had to add flames to the freak-out fire by trying something new to promote it. In the words of fellow challenge-mate Corrine O’Flynne: The A-to-Z Challenge is an annual affair started by a guy named Arlee Bird … #AtoZChallenge – A is for Anne
My day was just hijacked in the best possible way: I got COVER ART! And the very talented Gayla Drummond hit it out of the park on this one. She captures the look of Anne (the protagonist), not sure she’s being followed, doing a little bit of sight-seeing in Moscow as a way to throw … Cover Art Sneak Peek: Dust to Blood
Once again my Twitter addiction paid off for me: on February 20, @prmason reminded all her followers: “Entanglements (a full-length urban fantasy/paranormal romance) FREE for only a few more hours at Amazon.” I hadn’t actually read any of her other work, and I always enjoy a good urban fantasy, so I wandered over to Amazon … Book Review: Entanglements
Full disclosure here: I got to both beta read and edit G L Drummond‘s latest offering, Arcane Solutions. So I’ve seen it in rough form and been paid to work out the final kinks, so I’m obviously not unbiased about whether this story is worth reading; I’ve already invested a lot of time to make … Book Review: Arcane Solutions
I found Kalayna Price‘s novel Grave Witch via an Amazon recommendation. I have to say that for the most part I’ve been pretty happy with their recommendation engine–though I suspect it has as much to do with the fact that I’m pretty reliably a fan of the urban fantasy subgenre, and like to see how … Review: Grave Witch
I ran across this in the bookshelves at a local book store when I was browsing for a new author a few months back, and was intrigued by the blurb on the back cover (ironically by an author whose name didn’t ring any bells, despite the “New York Times bestselling author” appellation). “In Laura Resnick’s … Review: Doppelgangster
Amazon seems to have sussed out my penchant for urban fantasy tales, and therefore came to recommend “Angels’ Blood” on a recent browsing/purchasing binge… I’m glad the recommendation engine was smart enough to do so, because I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Nalini Singh is a new author to me, but seems to have taken as … Review: Angels’ Blood, A Guild Hunter Novel
This being the ninth book in this series… there’s not a lot I can say that won’t be a spoiler… so this is your fair warning: Read further at your own peril. (If you’re like me, and read the end first anyway, I know you will ignore this anyway.) 🙂 Before I go too much … Review: Kitty’s Big Trouble
I discovered Ilona Andrews about a year ago based on an online bookstore “you might also like” reference. I quickly chowed through their Kate Daniels series and am anxiously awaiting the release of “Magic Slays” any day now (it’s been on my wish list at Amazon since last December and I really can’t wait to … Review: Bayou Moon
Through a series of blog posts yesterday (the first by Kait Nolan about character arc development issues, and the second by Susan Bischoff on Young Adult romantic fantasy that is non-Twilight-like) I fell into a new author: Melissa Marr. I’ve been reading more and more books as eBooks on my iPhone, and have to say… … Wicked Lovely – review
