In praise of the ebook revolution by David Robinson

Are you a fan of ebooks? I am (as you may have noticed...)! I find the wider range of outlets, and with it potential readers, very appealing.

I don't share many other blog posts through here, but thought this might interest my writer friends. Author David Robinson has been in the trade for decades. I fully agree with him, being a relative 'newbie' compared to him. ;-)

Take a look at his blog today: http://www.dwrob.com/2015/04/in-praise-of-the-e-book-revolution/

Cheers!

Welcome romance author Maggi Andersen

Today, I'm delighted to welcome highly acclaimed historical romance author, Maggi Andersen , on her book tour sharing her new novel, A Baron in her Bed .  As a fellow Georgette Heyer fan, I asked her to chat about her influences in plotting Regency novels. Here goes... 'Unusual Regencies - How to plot a Regency novel that stands out' The Regency era offers so much for a writer. Historical events, larger than life historical characters, the ton and the Prince Regent’s sparkling, decadent court, and the Napoleonic Wars, all of which offer great material for any number of stories and fit well with popular tropes in romantic fiction – marriage of convenience, forced marriage, and friends become lovers etc. Many sub-genres adapt well to Regencies from historicals, like my sensual adventure romance, A Baron in Her Bed , to sweet stories inspired by Jane Austen, mysteries, crime novels, paranormals, young adult, fairy stories and even steampunk. What about alpha males?

Welcome romance author D'Ann Lindun

Today, I'm hosting fellow romance author, D'Ann Lindun . If you - like me - love cowboys, you're in for a treat! ;-) Falling in love with romance novels the summer before sixth grade, D’Ann Lindun never thought about writing one until many years later when she took a how-to class at her local college. She was hooked! She began writing and never looked back. Romance appeals to her because there's just something so satisfying about writing a book guaranteed to have a happy ending. D’Ann’s particular favorites usually feature cowboys and the women who love them. This is probably because she draws inspiration from the area where she lives, Western Colorado, her husband of twenty-nine years and their daughter. Composites of their small farm, herd of horses, five Australian shepherds, a Queensland heeler, eight ducks and cats of every shape and color often show up in her stories!  So, to discover more about D'Ann, I've asked her a few questions. 1.  Wha
