I am getting caught up today on some things that slipped through the cracks while I was dealing with other life-stuff. Today, it’s a guest post from Jame DiBiasio, author of Gaijin Cowgirl. When the tour first came through my email, I have to admit it was the title that made me laugh and suckered me in. After that, it was… Read more

Today, I’ve got a great guest post and some terrific pictures from Julie Ann Walker, author of Rev It Up. You know that I don’t really read romance, but I was intrigued by the pitch for Julie Ann’s book and interested in the way she talked about travel. (Regular readers here know how much I love to travel!) Today, Julie Ann… Read more

Once you read Alison’s post about alternate realities, be sure to click through for one-chapter Sneak Peek that you can download! That should make for some great reading, right in the middle of… Read more

It’s Friday and that means that, as usual, I’m letting someone else do the work for me! Today, I’ve got a guest post from Will Milar, author of Infernal Machines (A Vintage Horror Novel). With horror novels, I am always interested in why someone chooses to write horror, what drew them to the genre and made them decide that was the… Read more

I get a lot of review requests – A LOT. Most of them, I have to decline just because I can’t spend all my time reading, even if I wanted to. But sometimes, even when I have to turn a request for a review, I find that I want to tell people about the book anyway. That’s the case with Upload… Read more

Today, I’ve got a 2-chapter Sneak Peek from author Bret Jordan. At the bottom of the post, you can read Chapter 1 and Chapter 7 of his book, Clockwork Dwarf. (How can you resist that title? You know you want to look.) Here’s a bit about the story: Gustov Stoneheart is an unlikely hero, a dwarf who’s magically torn from friends… Read more
