Author Bio:
My name is Priya Narendran and I
have been a fan of paranormal fiction and fairy tales for years. I
started writing when I was 7 years old and haven’t stopped writing
since. So far I have written mainly fairy tale themed stories but I hope
to branch out into paranormal romance and fantasy in the near future.
As well as writing I’m an avid film buff and my favourite films include
My Fair Lady, Amadeus, Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Shining. I tend
to write mainly fairy tale re-tellings mainly because I find it
fascinating to look at fairy tales through a modern lens. I hope you
enjoy reading these books as much as I have enjoyed writing them.

I went to the Boston Author Event yesterday at the Omni Parker Hotel right on Tremont Street in Downtown Boston. I had such a wonderful time meeting all these amazing authors that have started out as self-published authors and have made it big. SC Stephens hit #1 on the NY Times Best Seller list with RECKLESS. I wish I had taken more pictures, I don't know what I was thinking!
I got a really big hug from Colleen Hoover who instantly recognized me (I was recognized by quite a few authors). It was simply amazing and I bought SLAMMED (for ME) and she signed it. Normally I don't have them personalized because I've done this rodeo before with BEA. I got to talk to Tina Reber for a little while and she does have a new book coming out but she didn't say when :(.
I got to meet J. Sterling (who wrote THE PERFECT GAME) and let me tell you, Mets shirt aside, she was awesome. I was able to talk to her for quite a while and she signed my bag! (Bloggers got a free bag from Denise Grover Swank, which included her book AFTERMATH and some really cool swag. Jenn was having a great time, and has a kick-ass tattoo on the back of her neck that I instantly fell in love with. I cannot wait for the sequel to come out!
From there I got to talk to Tarryn Fisher for a few minutes. She was exceptionally busy as everyone wanted to meet her. She is absolutely gorgeous. Simply stunning.
I stopped by to meet Kendall Grey who has become my BFF on Facebook, she understands me and knows that I'm not a terrible person at all. I was a bit nervous with this bunch of authors because well I managed to piss off one (she wasn't there), but still, word travels. I also got to talk to Jessica Park who brought her son and he is an adorable little boy. He looked bored, but he had his iTouch so I think it was all good for him. If you haven't read FLAT-OUT LOVE, well get on it. (It starts off in my hometown of Jamaica Plain, which is a section of Boston, MA.) She's got a novella coming out soon (no date I think) called FLAT-OUT MATT, which I want in my hot little hands like yesterday.
From there I met Kyla Linde (KA Linde). Who wrote the AVOIDING Series. She flat-ironed her hair and looked absolutely gorgeous! (I flat-ironed my hair and think I looked pretty cool too!) I didn't get to talk to her too much because there were people waiting to chat and get books signed (I only bought two books).
From there I got to meet the Goddess of Authors (In my mind), SC Stephens. I absolutely do not want any bad blood between us and hope that she knows this. My interview with the D-Bags in November remains my second-most popular blog post behind my review of Gayle Forman's WHERE SHE WENT. I admire Shannon beyond words and think she has an amazing career ahead of her. I wish that happened a few months ago, didn't happen. I think some people like to use certain things as leverage, and maybe that is what happened. I still have a great repoire with my contact at her publisher and they have been very amenable. So with this I say, Shannon, you rock!
Madeline Sheehan. Absolutely effing gorgeous. Her book UNDENIABLE was probably one of my favorites last year, and it has a new cover! We got to talk and I met her sister who is equally as gorgeous. Madeline has asked me to review another book of hers that is a trilogy: THE SOUL MATE. I will be getting to that soon. It's part of the HOLY TRINITY series. I cannot wait to DIVE in!
Georgia Cates. Another gorgeous southern belle. Her accent just won me over, but I think she appreciated my Boston accent just as much (although, I try hard to NOT sound like I'm from Boston.) She was a busy bee signing books and as soon as she saw me, she instantly knew who I was. I've adored Georgia since I first read GOING UNDER sometime last year and I saw that she was a Blue October fan. Since then we've become Blue October buds and I'll be holding a contest with her in the upcoming weeks.
I stopped by RL Mathewson's table and of course, she had NO clue who I was even though we chat on FB all the time and she likes my posts ALL THE TIME! Especially when they have to do with Lily. (Inside joke for RL. :)
I never got to stop by Katie Ashley's table, CJ Roberts, although her books THE DARK DUET, are AMAZING. Never saw Tara Sivec either. All those tables were so packed!
I wish I had taken a picture of the line of people waiting to get inside! It was beyond ridiculously crazy. I waited 90 minutes outside (yes, it was cold), but I met the most incredible people outside. We all have the love of reading and it was so nice to know that I'm not the only one who's obsessive about books! I need to give a shout out to Livia, Melissa, Heidi, Rachel, Dawn, Kristina, and Amy! Who made the wait in the cold bearable. Plus I got to have lunch with Heidi, Lori and Rachel. It was a great time. I understand that there were people who could not get inside, and I feel badly for them. It really was a magical time.
I wish I took more pictures. I don't know WHAT I was thinking! But here are two:

I've been holding on to reviewing this since I read it just before Christmas. I was so happy to get an early copy of this. Everyone loves Kellan Kyle and the D-Bags. In fact, I interviewed them back in November
HERE.
RECKLESS pretty much starts right where EFFORTLESS left off. Kiera and Kellan vowed to each other during her graduation party and declared themselves husband and wife. But we should all know that being with Kellan is anything but a piece of cake. He's got a biological dad he's getting to know, his band is starting to really do well and they're recording an album. And he's got a mad-as-hell ex-roommate who is looking to milk him for some money. With a sex tape.
However, the sex tape is neither here nor there. It's quickly relegated to dead and we're off to California for recording time. Kiera absolutely refuses to leave Kellan's side this time, so she's touring as well. Anna decides to come along as well. Since she's pregnant with Griffin's child. (um, sidenote, who'da thunk?)
Of course nothing will go smoothly for this couple. With an oily manager and a less than nice publicist, they become embroiled in tabloid fodder for the ages. An aging popstar who wants to rekindle her fame, decides that Kellan is exactly what she needs to catapult her to the stratosphere. Unfortunately, Kellan isn't buying it.
Throughout the whole book, he always let people know that he was married. But that didn't matter to the record executives, they saw some gossip that would keep both groups in the spotlight. But at what cost is fame worth it? Kellan grew leaps and bounds in this book. Every time an opportunity appeared or what seemed to appeared for him to fall back into his manwhore ways, he managed to sidestep it. He's particularly unhappy when Sienna Sexton becomes a little too grab happy for him especially when they have to shoot a steamy love scene for a music video.
Kiera wants to be anonymous. She's happy being the wife who supports her husband by just being there for him. She's writing a memoir about her incident that took place in the first book. It's a carthartic, soul-cleansing thing for her. But with her staying out of the limelight, it's very easy to trick the public into a KELL-SEX frenzy.
The book did get a little draggy toward the middle. Some unnecessary scenes, but it's neither here nor their. I adored Anna in this book. She was absolutely adamant that she was having a girl. But when the ultrasound doesn't go her way, she must settle with having another little Griffin. The transformation for both of those characters, Griff and Anna, was amazing. I found myself wanting to read a story about their courtship or whatever you call it.
Back to Kiera and Kellan. With fans asking for more Kellan/Sienna pairings, the record company pulls them off their current tour and puts them on Sienna's comeback tour. I wish at times that Kiera was a bit stronger especially when it came to Nick and Sienna. She was always willing to take a ribbing from those two. But again, Kellan was the one who put his foot down time and time again.
When paparazzi catch Kiera and Kellan in a sentimental moment, she realizes that being in the background is no longer going to happen. But she's also not ready to be called a homewrecker, Kellan's mistress and every other bad thing in the book. Kiera finally decides that coming forward and being there in the open for her relationship is what needs to happen. She's tired of listening to people speculate that Kellan and Sienna are a couple.
Kellan's adoration of Kiera is absolute. We know that. She's finally learned to accept it. But it's not until she almost loses him in a coincidental accident, that she realizes that they are soul-mates. Finally marrying legally, they begin their life together. The backlash of the staged relationship with Sienna and Kellan doesn't affect the band as hard as it hits Sienna.
With an epilogue to make even the strongest of women weep, we see into what happens when Kiera becomes a published author, The D-Bags win a grammy, Denny and Abby get married. Everything is as it should be.
Coming May 1st

Lost In You
Ryan Stone is a less than average teenager. He doesn’t have fancy clothes. He doesn’t carry around the latest smartphone and he definitely doesn’t have an MP3 player. Instead, he goes to school, does his chores and dreams of a new life away from Brookfield where he’s expected to follow in his blue collar family’s footsteps.
Hadley Carter is America’s Pop Princess. A successful recording artist living her dream with a sold-out tour and a handful of Grammy’s there isn’t much that she wants for, except love. But finding love on the road is near impossible when all she longs for are romantic dinners, a nighttime stroll on the beach and holding hands with someone who isn’t going to exploit her.
When a chance encounter introduces Ryan to Hadley, will he be like her adoring fans looking for a way in, or will it be Hadley who pursues Ryan even though it might cost her the only career she's ever known.
Lost in You is a story about following your dreams, taking risks and getting lost in love.
About Heidi:
Heidi is the author of USA Today, Digital Book World, Amazon and Barnes & Noble Bestselling novel, Forever My Girl
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, she now lives in picturesque Vermont, with her husband and two daughters. Also renting space in their home is an over-hyper Beagle/Jack Russell and two Parakeets.
During the day Heidi is behind a desk talking about Land Use. At night, she's writing one of the many stories planned for release or sitting court-side during either daughter's basketball games.
GIVEAWAY
I have a facebook page and I've been posting daily questions about reading and various sundries. If you like to put your $0.02 worth, come on over and join the conversation. I try to keep it fun and topical. And I might just throw in a few goodies as well.
So just go HERE to join in the conversation or to just say hello.
I was asked by Sourcebooks Fire if I wanted to partake of a blog tour with Jessica Shirvington of The Violet Eden Chronicles. I was so excited that I said yes and then yes again. Then again. I'm totally loving these books. Violet is such a kick-ass character in a similar way to Buffy Summers and Veronica Mars. She doesn't take any crap from her superiors or the two guys who are interested in her for two very different reasons.
The one thing I really enjoy about this series is that it's written by an Australian. Plus her world building and storytelling is amazing. There's romance, there's thrilling escapades and there is a young girl just trying to find her way in a world that expects so much from her.
I was so excited that I was able to ask Jess a few questions and she graciously answered them for you to enjoy. So the books in order of release (just so you know, Australia has the fourth book out already, we'll get it in October).
EMBRACE
ENTICE
EMBLAZE
1. How different is it writing for American readers after publishing in Australia?
Other
than applying an American edit it's not very different at all. As an
Australian it really just means that I need to take the time to
acknowledge the differences in some descriptions - like 'jumper' vs
'sweater' or 'coffee machine' vs 'espresso machine' or 'runners' vs
'trainers', that kind of thing. Also another consideration was school
year and vacation periods etc, but with the help of great editors it was
all relatively pain free. In terms of what readers expect, I think
everyone is after the one thing - an awesome story, and for that, I do
my best ;-)
2. How long did the series take you to write?
I've
been working on the series since October 2009 and I am currently
writing book 5. I've worked pretty solidly on the series for this entire
period.
3. It's such a unique idea, where did the inspiration come from?
I
wanted to write a story that focused on choice and consequence. I was
adamant that my heroine would be flawed and make reckless mistakes, but
that she would learn and grow from them. As readers it can be irritating
to watch characters make mistakes and yet at the same time be very
gratifying to watch them grow into their destiny. That is what I wanted
for Violet and for the readers. I also loved the idea of twisting and
manipulating bible folklore and ancient mythology. Using the angelic
hierarchy made this possible and opened the floodgates for introducing
so many different concepts and questions. I found it to be a very rich
resource!
4. If you could have lunch with anyone, who would you choose?
My husband. I married him for a reason, he's my always choice!
NB: Matt Shirvington is an Australian athlete and television presenter who held the Australian 100m national sprint title from 1998 to 2002. He's the 2nd fastest Australian of all time. (from Google)
5. Are you currently writing anything else?
Yes,
I'm just in the final stages of editing my first stand alone novel
called Between The Lives. It is my first departure from the Embrace
Series and I am extremely excited and passionate about it.
ENDLESS,
book 4 in the Embrace Series will be out in the US in October this year
and I'm also working on the 5th book as we speak. It's a big book to
write and in some ways the most challenging of them all so I'm really
looking forward to seeing how it all pans out.
I really appreciate the time Jessica took from her busy life to answer my questions. I really enjoy these books and look forward to reading more about the gang of Angels. Plus Violet and Lincoln are really hot together. And Phoenix is cunning as ever. Definitely a series to pick up!

Blurb:

Suffering
from a past full of tragedy, Dahlia London's soul has been left

her world. But, when she is reconnected with her past, the bonds that
form are irrefutable.
When
River Wilde, lead singer of The Wilde Ones, comes back into Dahlia’s
life, the intensity that fires their relationship combined with
underlying feelings that have never died lead her to believe she has met
her soulmate.
Struggling with confusion as old connections fade and new ones begin, Dahlia's grief begins to lift --

Emma has left her native England to embark on a new life and new college in the US with her cousin. They happen to rent an apartment where an up and coming rock star is living. What happens from there is your typical girl sees boy performing, gets excited. Boy sees girl, likes what he sees, but she's going to play hard to get.
At first I had a hard time getting into the story. I liked Emma enough, but Scott just seemed to into himself and came across as God's answer to women. Emma was able to talk him down a notch; however, it becomes difficult to fight the attraction, but of course, we know that these two will do what they can to try to what they can to maintain a facade of friendship while smoldering with a frenzied heat.
A fun read.

Excerpt from ROCKED UNDER:
His eyes widened and he looked up at the sky for a moment. "Why do you ask?" His voice was quiet.
"Ash told me that you've never had a girlfriend." Why was I talking about this with him?
He sighed before looking back down at me. "She told you that, but what she was really doing was warning you off me." He was looking at me seriously now.
"No," I lied, “she just told me." I looked away.
"I don't believe you, but I can understand her wanting to protect you, especially from me.” He shook his head. His tone had been serious but then he smiled softly at me.
I was momentarily stunned by him.
"You still haven't answered my question,” I reminded him gently.
“I…I’m not into relationships,” he shrugged as if it was nothing, but I knew he was lying.
"So, basically, you sleep around because you can get away with it and you think that having a girlfriend would hold you back and you'd get bored."
Very briefly, I saw his face crease with pain, but it happened so fast that I could have imagined it.
"Why? Were you thinking of applying for the position?" His grin was cheeky as he steered our conversation back onto safer ground.
I blushed. If only he knew how much I thought about him.
"Wow, is that a blush?" He looked surprised and then laughed loudly.
"Shut up!" I cringed as I punched his shoulder, my face burning hotter. "And no, I wasn't applying for anything, I'm seeing Adam, remember? I'm sort of taken,” I said proudly, holding my head high.
He sobered then and looked up again at the sky.
"He's lucky,” I thought I heard him say under his breath.
"Huh?"
"I said, ‘he's lucky’. But if he treats you bad, he's going to turn unlucky real quick." He looked serious.
Synopsis: Falling in love isn't always easy or pleasant. The intense and angst-filled story of Emma and Scott is a painful, gut-wrenching and exhausting portrayal of how hard it can be to let go...
Nineteen year-old Emma Harrington’s number one rule is; Never give your heart away to a man, no matter what. That lesson was learned early on in her life and she will never forget it.
Starting over in the USA, Emma starts college with her cousin, Ashley. She is finally free to do and live how she wants and no man will ever rule her decisions or emotions again.
That is until Scott Mason walks on stage…
Intense, bad boy Scott is the lead singer in a local and popular rock band. Ladies man and Ashley’s longtime friend, Emma is instantly drawn to him, even though he is everything she hates and needs to stay away from in a guy. He treats females like he does a cigarette; light it, use it, and lose it.
For her cousin’s sake, she makes an effort to get along with Scott. She soon discovers that there is more to Scott which makes him even more dangerous in her eyes. Underneath the façade of friendship; jealousy, obsession, fear and insecurities, fester and battle it out as she fights her attraction and history from repeating itself.
One thing she knows for sure is that if she breaks her rule, it may destroy her.

I'm doing something a little different with this review. Included is a Q&A that I asked Kate to answer which she graciously did. She's also putting up two (2) paperback books up for a giveaway. You guys are so lucky to have this opportunity to read this book. It was one of my favorites of last year and I want as many people to read it as possible. It's freakin' fantastic. So before the review here is the Q&A!
Q: How did you come up with the plot of THE LOW NOTES?
A: I started with the general plot of what eventually became THE LOW NOTES in high school. I've always been a sucker for forbidden romance and star-crossed lovers but I also love the sexy taboo of the student-teacher relationship. I started and stopped with this novel for years before I finally told myself I needed to get it all out and Kevin and Nina evolved on their own from there.
Q: Did you always know what would happen to the characters at the end of the story.
A: I knew how I wanted it to end but I didn't always know how I would get them there. There is a first draft in my office that is different in a lot of ways but the most important parts (how they meet, who they are, the worries they face) have remained the same. And though the ending is somewhat open to interpretation I know in my heart where Kevin and Nina are and I like giving the reader their own chance to make their own conclusions.
Q: Would you be willing to continue on with Nina and Kevin's story?
A: That is such a tough one! I am sick, mad, crazy in love with writing Kevin. I adore him and Nina and always will but right now I don't see myself writing another entire book about them. What I would love to do is pull a little Emily Giffin and write someone else's story who might happen to be friends with Kevin and/or Nina. I want to give my readers a glimpse at what happens beyond THE LOW NOTES but to me the story that needed to be told was told.
Q: Are you currently writing anything now?
A: I am SO VERY close to finishing my next novel I could scream! We are talking pages away! I'm hoping that with enough long hours and hard work I can have it out some time this year. (I would love a summer release but 2013 is already flying by!) RECKLESS RADIANCE is a paranormal romance and I cannot wait for my readers to meet my main man, Russell.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kevin Reed has come back to his hometown after the death of his father. With the help of his cousin's wife, he is set up on a blind date that goes disastrously. First of all, he's really not looking to date and second of all the torch singer at the club where his date is has caught his attention. With her dark looks and smoldering appearance, Kevin is smitten. So when date realizes that he's just not into her, she leaves and Kevin seeks out the singer, Nina Jordan. From there the connection simmers and they go out to dinner. With the promise after, of another dinner.
One of my favorite stories in 2012. I'm all about forbidden fruit stories, but this one has so much heart and soul, that you can't hope for the best for the two characters. As I read further on, I found myself falling for Kevin just as much as Nina did. He's a good guy. Conflicted at times, as is Nina. She's on her own while her father is off on his next conquest. A sister who rarely pays any attention to her. A gay best friend who tries to help her navigate the stormy seas.
This is a quiet story that builds to a blaring crescendo you are panting, breathless and just about to rip the hair from your head. Kate Roth gets into both of their heads and not an easy task to do. Her prose is beautiful and lovely. Her characters have just the right amount of conflict. A beautiful story that at times almost had me in tears. Similar stories could come across as crass. I rarely give books a rating of five, but this one just grabbed at me in a way that others haven't.
You can find this book on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Some time next week, I'll be holding another contest!
Out of the six books below, I'll be giving away two of the books. And no, it is NOT the THOUGHTLESS series. Those are for me! :P
This I received for me! Was very excited to get it on a President's Day after a long, tough weekend!
I was lucky to read an early copy of this in December, but having this to go with my set is even more exciting!
So can you figure out what books I'll be giving away next week? ;)
A few weeks ago, Harper Collins contacted me and asked if I wanted to be the guest blogger and cover this author tour. I jumped on it because I was going to meet my Harper contact and I was going to be able to meet four extremely talented authors! So I hightailed it to the very famous HARVARD COOP, and prepared to meet them.
From L-R: Tahereh Mafi (
Shatter Me, Unravel Me); Cynthia Hand (
Unearthly, Hallowed, Boundless); Veronica Rossi (
Under the Never Sky, Through The Ever Night) Brodi Ashton (
Everneath, Everbound)
.
Getting to meet these fab authors was really exciting. I got to ask them questions and found out quite a bit about them as well. They were all very personable and I know they'd been answering the same questions again and again, so I tried to keep my interview short and sweet. I'll post what I asked below. Plus there was a crowd that had shown up.
In this picture below, Alison Lisnow is introducing the authors to the crowd that showed up. I would say that there had to be over 100 people there. It was fabulous!
Throughout the tour, I was tweeting what the authors were saying here are a few of my tweets!
she did not have the story mapped out. She had a vague idea, but sometimes story took a life of its own.
lots of people here!
people at the author signing.
Brodi Ashton and Cynthia are talking about each other. Introduction wise.
Cynthia Hand was born e with own in hand. Went to law school. (this is where swype doesn't work! It should say Cynthia Hand was born with a pen in hand. However, she went to law school.)
Tahereh just started writing a few years ago. Do you have any questions? Let me know!
Veronica Rossi was a painter before writing.
Brodi Ashton is spoiling her own book!
omigod we have a hedgehog!
You can actually see the hedgehog in the picture above!
A couple of questions from the audience to all authors was if they had plotted out the all of their books in the series, or if they just wrote it as it went along. It was a mixed bag. They would know where the story was going, but how they got there was the surprise.
Both Veronica and Brodi were wearing the same boots! (bought at Target!)
Brodi had a serious flat-iron incident earlier in the day which is why if you've seen her before she has bangs, and her hair smelled burnt!
Cynthia and Brodi really know each other well and worked well with each other. Most of them were hoping to not get stuck in Boston during the Blizzard of 2013. After the Q&A, they had their book signing.
People lining up!
And a lucky fan who got her picture taken with Tahereh and Veronica!
And here is Cynthia and Brodi with a fan!
Here Tahereh is mugging for the camera because she got a gorgeous mini Red Velvet Cupcake!
Here is Cynthia and Brodi signing books!
All the books are gorgeous in person!
One of the questions I asked was: How did you come up with your main characters.
Tahereh: She had a very vivid vision of a girl locked up. Dirty and scared.
Brodi: She based her character on a classmate who went missing.
Cynthia: She wanted the story to take place in the middle of nowhere and knew that there would be some paranormal theme to it.
All in all it was a very successful outing and I really appreciate Harper Collins for allowing me to be the guest blogger, tweeter and official picture taker! I even had seat that was reserved just for me! I met so many fans and bloggers, all who knew me which was completely surprising! All of these authors were wonderful and very approachable. Tahereh had us in stitches telling us about her character who has a bird tattoo and her brother who has a bird tattoo and her brother was like, "Dude that is all sorts of wrong!" (No lie!). She swore she wasn't sexualizing her brother!
Harvard Square is the epitome of literature and history and it was really great location for this evening. If you have a chance to see these authors at book signings in the future, go, you won't regret it.

MOGUL takes place right after ROCK STAR. Andi and Vanni are starting their life together while Graham is still reeling with the loss of her. Of course, Holly is heading to LA with her own pregnancy that could possibly threaten any happiness that Vanni and Andi could hope for. Also weighing on the couple is the Baylee Wilke family that wants to clean him out for the damage he's done to their daughter.
I love Andi and I never really saw her as a groupie. She fell in love with a guy who just happened to be an up and coming rock star. He too fell for her, but she wasn't exactly "rock star" material. He needed to be with a tall, willowy supermodel. But Andi never, ever gave up
Vanni's career is just about over, he's threatening to leave Graham's record company, he's willing to pay the Wilke family more than enough money, but he's not really thinking about the long term. It's not until a reality show producer approaches Graham and tells him that they want Vanni for a singing competition. They would pay him handsomely to mentor an up and coming singer. It's a win-win for Andi and Vanni. Until Holly comes to town and tells Vanni that she really is pregnant.
Vanni tries his damnedest to keep both women safe and healthy, but it's weighing on his conscience. Holly is using Vanni to get Julian back in the band.
It takes a while for things to really start brewing in this story and really does reach a climactic ending that will leave you breathless. I've always loved Vanni and Andi and the first two books were so good. Ginger is a great writer and I'm looking forward to reading much more from her. Plus she's really cool.
MOGUL is available at both Barnes & Noble and Amazon.

a Rafflecopter giveaway
Ginger Voight will be giving away (1) eBook ARC copy of “The Groupie Trilogy” at each stop.
Please comment below if you'd like to be entered to win a copy. This is a different contest from the rafflecopter one above. That is the grand prize.
Bio:
Ginger Voight is prolific author, freelance writer and optioned screenwriter. Her fiction is diverse, with novels like the edgy, coming-of-age drama DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS, and the fun family adventure for kids of all ages, COMIC SQUAD.
Having grown up reading different authors like Danielle Steel and Stephen King, Ginger has always been drawn more to story than to genre. This shows up in her various stories. Titles such as MY IMMORTAL and TASTE OF BLOOD are a delicious, heady mix of horror, suspense, and romance.
Genre romance, however, has held a special place in her heart, ever since she read her first Harlequin novel when she was only eleven. As a result, Ginger is making a name for herself writing romances of her own, starring women who look more like the average American woman rather than those traditionally represented in the size-biased American media. Her Rubenesque romances were created especially for those heroines with fuller figures, who can still get the man of their dreams if only they believe they can. Such titles include UNDER TEXAS SKIES, LOVE PLUS ONE, GROUPIE and PICTURE POSTCARDS.
Ginger was included in the best-selling book by Smith Magazine NOT QUITE WHAT I WAS PLANNING, featuring her six-word memoir.

This was a really cute and frothy read. Kat is graduate student at New York University and in order to graduate, she needs to pass a business class in which she is mentored by a successful alumni. Unfortunately for Kat, it turns out to be the one person who shattered her five years ago. Her brother's best friend and her secret summer boyfriend. Kat does everything she can to get out the assignment, but it's just not going her way.
Lauren weaves a business angle, a love story, a small bit of a mystery and yet she leaves you begging for more. Bryan knows his faults, but is willing to try to work them out with Kat; who seems unwilling to give up her heart yet again. And for good reason. He just left. No reason, nothing. Just adios, see ya later and I'm done. Total heartbreak.
My only problem was the mystery bit. It sorta fizzles out and there is no resolution to it, or it's swiftly pushed aside. I'll call this first time authoritis. It happens. It doesn't ruin the story, it's a bit jarring, but other than that. I really enjoyed it.
It does get hot at moments. There are some scenes that are scorching and the two characters are in separate locations! Yep, I'll leave that up to your imagination.
I think this is a great beach read, snowy day read, rainy day read, etc.
And during the blog tour the book is bargained price at $0.99! (Amazon only)
Blurb
Five years ago, Kat Harper fell into a dizzying summer romance with her brother’s best friend Bryan. It was a mad, crazy love full of kisses all through the night — but he broke her heart and she had to move on.
Five years later, Kat is finishing her graduate degree and building her business as a jewelry designer, when Bryan, head of his own successful company, walks back into her life. Bryan has been assigned to Kat as her new business mentor and the rules are clear. No hanky panky permitted. That works for both of them. Kat needs to grow her business to help her parents; Bryan needs to run a clean operation after his former business partner’s romantic scandal that rocked his firm.
Kat can handle that because she's totally over him... right? Except, he still makes her laugh. And he remembers all the things she likes. And he's more handsome now than he was then. Then there’s the spark between them — the simply undeniable chemistry.
Can they resist each other? Or are they willing to risk everything for a second chance at first love?
Bio
Lauren Blakely is an unabashed fan of clever jokes, toast, and good guys in novels. Like the heroine in CAUGHT UP IN US, she thinks life should be filled with movie kisses and coffee drinks. Lauren lives in California with her husband and children, and spends her days writing both true stories and make-believe ones.

I want to gift ONE person with two incredible books. One is available now and one will be preordered as a gift (or however I can figure out how to do that).
The first book I'm offering is a copy of COLLIDE by Gail McHugh. I will purchase either a Nook or Kindle copy or a paperback copy (if they have them). I thoroughly enjoyed this book and think that it deserves all the accolades it deserves.
Gorgeous cover!
Second book on the list is a copy of RECKLESS by SC Stephens. I've got a huge girl crush on her and I've read all the THOUGHTLESS series books AND COLLISION COURSE. Plus I've
interviewed the D-Bags back in November. Yeah, that was quite a coup!
This will be preordered as it doesn't release for a couple of weeks.
So all you have to do is follow the instructions on the RAFFLECOPTER. Please let me know if you prefer Nook, Kindle or Paperback. Otherwise, I will have to disqualify you. Hunting you down for that information is difficult.
This contest will run for ONE week only.

EFFORTLESS takes place about three months after the end of THOUGHTLESS. Kier a and Kellan are a couple and Denny has moved back to Australia. Although still suffering through the complications of their affair, both Kiera and Kellan are trying to make their love work.
Unfortunately, The D-Bags are discovered and a famous rock group wants them to tour with them and that would mean Kellan leaving Kiera for several months while the band tours. Because of what happened the last time her boyfriend left, Kellan does everything he can to make the separation a lot easier.
As Kellan's star rises, Kiera feels left out and wonders if he'll go back to his man-whore ways. Even thought everyone tells her that he is madly in love with her. He did tattoo her name over his heart. Kiera tries to stay away from the tabloids, but finds it difficult when she sees a video of Kellan hugging a woman.
Anna, Kiera's sister, is still having a relationship with Griffin, much to Kiera's dismay. She's not a fan of Griff's abrasiveness and lowly opinion of women. However, Anna comes up with a plan to get them to see the band in Idaho. The D-Bags have become so popular on the tour that they are bumped up to opening band and the other band on the tour is put out, so when Kellan takes Kiera back to the bus, one of the sore band members, makes it seem like this will be his second conquest of the night. Luckily, Kellan (after being smartly slapped across the face) is able to explain to Kiera what the jerk meant. She's not happy, but she has to trust him.
However, Kiera is also keeping secrets herself. Denny is back from Australia and has become a friend to lean on. Although he tells her constantly to tell Kellan he's back in the picture, she doesn't. Yep, by now, you're like,
why Kiera? She's trying to trust Kellan, but keeping secrets herself. It sort of backfires, when at Christmas time, Kellan receives phone calls that he's not answering and lies to her about it. The both of them are keeping things close to the vest.
Probably the most shocking revelation is Anna gets pregnant and good lord it's Griffin's! Kellan comes home, sees Denny at Kiera's and of course thinks the worst. But it's Kiera who tells him what is what. They make love, she showers, he finds the pregnancy sticks (Anna was freaking out), and storms out, leaving Kiera to wonder what the hell just happened.
This time she's not leaving it alone. She goes to Kellan's and demands to know what is going on. He accuses her of cheating on him because he found the positive pregnancy tests. She informs him loudly that they are Anna's. He forgives her, she forgives him. He tells her about the phone calls. They're from his biological father and he wants nothing to do with him. Kiera tries to ease his mind that it would be a good idea to meet his other family. Kellan will have nothing to do with him (them).
Kiera finally graduates college, Kellan comes home from tour. Griffin finds out he's about to be a dad. Everyone meets Denny's Australian girlfriend. Kiera and Kellan get married at Pete's bar (well metaphorically, they meld their hearts together and vow to be together forever.)
If my review seems like whiplash, it's because the book gave me heart palpitations and whiplash! I loved the first book, loved the second book. Kellan really proved to be a true romantic by leaving little notes for Kiera to find on a daily basis while he was gone. She's even find notes weeks later. How can you not love that. Kellan struggles to remain true, but he's so in love with Kiera it makes it easier. The secret-keeping could get a bit annoying at time, but as a plot device it works, because you don't know what is going on, like Kiera and you really wonder if he's doing something detrimental. Anna's pregnancy is probably one of the brightest spots in the book. Yeah, she's freaked out (she works for Hooters!), but she calms down enough to enjoy the ride. However, she's not ready to tell Griffin yet. And of course everyone wonders how that will play out.
Kellan is a definitely book boyfriend. He's gorgeous, sexy, romantic and troubled. His life has not been an easy one and he struggles with his self-esteem. Although on stage he is a rock God. In his real life he is anything but. With Kiera by his side, his self-worth grows leaps and bounds. Kellan meeting Kiera's parents the first time is just as difficult and painful as if you were really there. And Kiera really does have the squeakiest bed ever.
SC's books have become a phenomenon since they were self-published a few years back. She is defintely one of those authors that I will search high and low for something new by her. She is definitely an author to watch. The last book in the trilogy will be out March 5, 2013 and it's titled, RECKLESS.

Liam Westbury had everything; a hot girlfriend, a chance at a football scholarship that would end with him in the NFL. But a chance encounter with a long lost aunt, changed all that. He started singing, and liked it. Quit school, dumped the girlfriend he was supposed to marry and became a rock star.
Years later, when his best friend from high school is killed in a horrific car accident, Liam must go home to attend the services. He knows he's not well respected and will be persona non grata to show up.
Josie was the girl that Liam gave up. Struggling to make a career of herself in a small town, when every one knows that she was abandoned by the person who loved her the most. Most shockingly is that she's a single mom with a young son.
Liam never expected to come home to a hero's welcome, but he wasn't expecting to be part of the services either. Katelyn, (Mason's wife), pretty much forced him into being a pall bearer.
Liam sees what he's missed in all the years of being a rockstar, and tries to better his and Josie's life. He's still in love with her, but she's engaged to married to his former nemesis. To Liam, a mere blip. Especially since he is the father of Josie's son.
A wonderful, heartfelt debut by a terrific author. This story grabbed me from page one, and up until the end. Watching the characters unfold during a time of absolute tragedy brings a sense of community to them all. Josie never got over Liam just breaking up with her suddenly and Liam, could never get Josie out of his system no matter how many times he tried with various groupies, floozies and for hire women.
Liam is a complex character and not one that you want to like at first. He's stubborn, full of himself and just downright nasty to women. A veritable misogynist. But Josie humanizes him, even if she does it the chagrin of her fiancee (who has always been jealous of Liam.).
Heidi is currently writing a second book the Beaumont series and I know that it will be just as amazing as the first one. These self-published authors are proving themselves time and time again, that you don't really need a traditional publisher to put a good book forward. Highly recommend this one.

I received this book from Penguin a few months back, and honestly forgot about it. But then I saw last week that there was going to be a readathon, so I finished up what I was reading and picked this up. I'm a big fan of Gayle's and was really excited to read it. Her If I Stay & Where She Went are probably two of the best contemporary young adult romance books out there. If you haven't read them, well get to it.
One thing that intrigued me about this book was the idea of falling in love with someone in a day. Love at first sight. Does it happen? Is it ridiculous to say you love someone when you really don't know them? Well Allyson finds out when she meets a Dutch actor in London who is performing with an underground Shakespeare group. He's a mystery and Allyson is smitten. What surprises Allyson and her friend, is that she's willing to travel to Paris with Willem on a whim.
As they make their way around Paris, Allyson (who Willem calls Lulu), she finds out that Willem is more complex than originally thought. He knows people, mostly women, that he's been intimate with, but is off on his own. He's an enigma. As each person break through the tough skin of walls, they both become entranced with each other. Until it culminates in making love in an abandoned warehouse. When Lulu wakes up the next morning, Willem is gone and her world crashes around her.
Once back stateside, and a freshman in college, Allyson struggles. She struggles to understand why Willem would leave her with no note. Struggles to appease her parents who try to rule her life with an iron fist. And most importantly she struggles in college. But depression hits, she loses her best friend to NYC and that life. Her friend at college may or may not be a fantastic actor who can be anyone he wants to be. A real-life chameleon.
However, Allyson can't let Willem out of her head. She gets a job to earn enough money to find out where Willem is and what happened that one day. As she gets closer to the truth, she realizes that everything may not be as it seems and perhaps, his leaving wasn't something that he wanted.
A beautiful story of want and longing and first love and hopes and dreams. Doing what is right for you and following your own path.
I literally inhaled this book because I really had no clue where it was going. But once I got there, it was marvelous.
There will be a companion piece to this one, Just One Year, which will tell us Willem's side of the story. And the way that Just One Day ended, I cannot wait! I've read that it's June sometime. Highly recommend for fans of Forman, Dessen, Eckeles and Echols.
I'm so honored to be able to show you this brand new cover of Karen's book. Karen has also graciously posted her tips to writing which is below the gorgeous cover!
Karen's Tips for Writing:
While
He Was Away Walmart-Exclusive Cover Reveal
and My Top Tips for Writing
Even When the Writing Gets Tough
By Karen Schreck
My birthday falls in January,
just a few days after New Year’s Day. This
January, I received an incredible gift from my publisher, Sourcebooks
Fire. My young adult novel, While He Was Away, is being released
nation-wide into Walmart with a brand new cover!
When my editor at
Sourcebooks, Leah Hultenschmidt, graciously asked if I’d be open to this
possibility last fall, I blinked, breathed deep, confirmed I wasn’t dreaming,
and said, “Yes!” I held on to the
possibility until it became a reality.
Then, and only then, did I celebrate.
I won’t speak for all
writers, but for me, writing is an act of faith. I love the work deeply, or I wouldn’t do
it. I’ve generated a lot of pages that
have never seen the light of day, written multiple novels that I’ve relegated
to folders on my laptop. Keeping the
faith in anything, especially writing, can be hard.
The fact that Sourcebooks
believed enough in While He Was Away
to bring it to life the first time felt like a much-needed confirmation of
years of hard work. The fact that they
are standing behind my book again in this way . . . well, it feels like a
miracle. I’m truly grateful.
Without further ado, here are my Top Writing Tips
(they’ve help me a lot; I hope they help you in some way):
1. Read a lot. Read
voraciously. Read like a writer. Read some more. Read people who write in your
genre or in a style that is similar to yours and take note of how they do what
they do. Read people who write in a
completely different way to keep your head clear and give you new ideas. Just. Keep.
Reading.
2. Develop a ritual
for your writing. I wouldn’t think of
telling you what to do. You need to find
what works for you, and sometimes that changes with your circumstances. This year, I’ve been working at an ad agency
in the city. My ritual is to hunker down
in the quiet car on the train and GET A LOT DONE. Previously I’ve written in the very same
quiet corner of my local library. In
basements. On couches. In bed.
By candlelight. I’ve found that
consistency and ritual can trigger my creativity. Ring the bell and I’ll salivate. Kind of like that.
3. Don’t be afraid
to be messy in your work. Don’t be
afraid to push forward even though it isn’t perfect. Nothing is perfect! Embrace that reality, and be kind to
yourself. And forgiving of the words on
the page.
4. Fall in love with
revision. “I’m not a writer,” I once
heard a writer say. “I am a
re-writer.” I LOVE that. I love the word revision. Re-vision.
Seeing again, anew, as if for the first time. Revision gives great perspective. And I think it’s where the real work gets
done.
5. Never give
up. Keep the faith. Years may pass. But the more you write, the more the very act
of writing becomes rewarding. Writing is
soul-work; it lends meaning to life.
That’s what I believe, and that’s what sees me through. Publication—well, that a wonderful
thing. But the writing—that’s where it’s
at.
Light in the Shadows, A. Meredith Walters
Blurb:
How do you keep going when you feel like your life is over?
Maggie
never thought she'd see Clay again. So, she attempts to put her life
back together after her heart has been shattered to pieces. Moving on
and moving forward, just as Clay wanted her to.
Clay
never stopped thinking of Maggie. Even after ripping their lives apart
and leaving her behind to get the help he so desperately needed. He is
healing...slowly. But his heart still belongs to the girl who tried to
save him.
When
a sudden tragedy brings Maggie and Clay face to face again, nothing is
the same. Yet some things never change. Can the darkness that threatened
to consume them be transformed into something else and finally give
them what they always wanted? And can two people who fought so hard to
be together, finally find their happiness? Or will their demons and fear
drive them apart for good?
The
thing about love, is even when it destroys you, it has a way of mending
what is broken. And in the shadows, you can still see the light.
Release: March 26th
And a new cover for the first book Find you in the Dark:
I'm doing something a little different. In September 2013 I will be publishing my first book via myself. Just to test the waters, see how things go. I'm really excited to do this, but it's also scary. I've been having a hard time getting into my main character's head. So I interviewed her. So from Forsaken Lovers I introduce you to Issa Clark!
LM (me): Hi Issa.
Issa Clark (IC): Hey. Thanks for talking to me. I understand you’re having a hard time getting into my head.
LM: Yeah, just a bit. Can you give me some background on yourself? Describe yourself?
IC: Wow, ya, um. Well, I’m about 5’6, thin, but curvy, I guess. My hair is about shoulder length, with waves and some curls. I guess it’s full of body (hahaha!). It’s been described as brown, but with caramel highlights running through it. I went to college for marketing and am currently working as an assistant to the vice president at an ad agency. I manage some of his portfolio for him. We work great together. I mean, Mike is a good guy, cute too. But those are definitely shark-infested waters.
LM: I can imagine. What about your friend Sam? Can you tell me about your relationship with her?
IC: Wow, do you have all day? I’ve known Sam forever. She’s been my best bud since elementary school. She’s there for all the good and bad times. She’s sarcastic as hell and tells it like it is. No filter on that one. But that’s what I like about her. She can have different men every single night and she’ll remember each and every one of them. How she manages that is completely beyond me. Yeah. She also hates the idea of me getting involved with Mike, my boss. I know she’s right, but it’s just something I’ve been exploring, you know?
LM: (I nod my head) So Nick Castle…
IC: What about him? (she seems defensive)
LM: Why don’t you describe him to me. Give me an insight into why you could possibly fall for him.
IC: Hmmm… well he’s enigmatic. He’s got this dark brown hair and these god-awfully sinful blue eyes that just blow anyone away. You know, he looks like he could see right through you. It’s scary in a way. But once he opens his mouth to sing. It’s incredible. There could be a million women in the room and he makes it so that he’s singing to you and you alone. I can’t describe it. There’s this je ne sais quoi. It’s just something about him. He’s something special.
LM: uh huh. Why would you pursue a relationship with him?
IC: Have you seen him? (I nod yes) But there’s something else about him. He seems lost and can’t quite figure out where he should be. Do you understand what I mean? Even though his eyes can pierce the soul, they also show that he’s conflicted. Women are throwing themselves at him. I can’t imagine that’s always exciting. I don’t want to come across as that type of person. I want him to like me for me. What I can bring to the table.
LM: Sure, I understand. What if he had secrets? Very dark and potentially life altering secrets?
IC: (she stares at me for a minute and shakes her head) Don’t we all?
LM: (I frown) Are you telling me you have dark, life altering secrets too?
IC: (she giggles) No, silly, just trying to throw you off your game. So what if he has secrets. Everyone has a skeleton in their closet. If he wants to keep things quiet, I’m not the person to be angry or mad at him. To err is human or some shit like that.
LM: Yes, but what if you got pulled into his secret? You gotta give me something here.
IC: Well, I don’t think I’d be happy, but I’ll have to work with it, you know? Why do you care if he has secrets?
LM: Well I am writing this story and I want to make sure that people will like it. How do you feel about having your sex life described?
IC: (here she blushes a deep red, I’ve embarrassed her) Well, obviously it’s kinda weird, but isn’t that what people want to read? But who am I having sex with?
LM: (I just smile)
IC: Fine, be that way. (She sighs)
LM: I still don’t feel like I’ve gotten enough information from you. How can we make this work?
IC: Well I know what people are going to say. Write every day and just keep going. I know that you’ve got some scenes worked out. Not sure how that is going for you, but I know you want to keep my scenes in the first pov. Which is why we’re doing this exercise? Listen. I’m not overly complicated. Just make me sympathetic, but not dumb. Make me sexy but not trashy. Don’t overthink things.
LM: Wow, so now you’re my Jiminy Cricket?
IC: (she laughs) Not really. You want to get this out by September and you want it to be good. It will be good if you stop overthinking things. People will like it. You’ve got a hot conflicted guy (from what you told me) and you have me and Sam. The other stuff will come.
LM: Wow, so insightful, Issa. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me. I think I have a somewhat better idea about you. You’re a good girl, but also conflicted. We’ll work that out.
IC: No problem, nice talking to you too. Good luck and break a leg.
LM: (I twitch my lips) I think that’s for performing live. Not writing a book. (She waves a hand at me and leaves. Yep, she’s a feisty one.)
