In 2009, Delilah Marvelle won the author interview I donated to the Brenda Novak auction, and in that interview, we talked about marketing, and about her School of Gallantry series that she wanted to finish. At that time, she said of RT that it was one of the most effective tools for branding herself as a first-time author, as it allowed her to contact readers directly. Now, four years later, Marvelle has published more than … Continue reading Self Publishing and Restarting a Series: A Q&A with Delilah Marvelle→
Author Delilah Marvelle won the Author Interview I offered through the Brenda Novak Diabetes Auction this year – thanks for bidding, Deliliah! When we started discussing her interview, Marvelle told me about the marketing pitch she’s making for her second book, and the topic turned to marketing in general. Marvelle’s website has the details, but the crux of her contest is that: Despite being sold out of my first print run for my debut book, … Continue reading Interview with Delilah Marvelle→

Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart by Sarah MacLean is still $1.99 at Amazon. This is the third and final book in MacLean's Love by Numbers series. Readers seemed to really love the pairing of the outgoing, scandalous Italian heroine and the arrogant, proper British hero. However, this book also seems to have a case of love-it-or-hate-it. It's hard to find a mediocre review on GR, though it does have a … Continue reading Book on Sale: Recapping September’s Popular Historical Deals→
The Splendour Falls by Susanna Kearsley is $1.99 today! This is an older Kearsley title, originally published in 1995, I believe, and features the hallmarks of her novels: parallel storylines in the present and past, a mystery, and some romance. This book has a 3.67 star average on GR, and while some readers adored it, others felt the mix of history and contemporary plot was out of balance. I know some of you are huge … Continue reading Books on Sale: A Susanna Kearsley Novel, Plus Popular Historical Romances→
Tempted by His Touch: A Limited Edition Boxed Set of Dukes, Rogues, & Alpha Heroes is a boxed set of ten historical romances from assorted authors, and it's on sale for $1.99. The plots feature familiar tropes remixed, such as a heroine in love with her brother's best friend (Lady of Pleasure), or a wealthy independent widow looking for friends-with-benefits (Once Upon a Duke ). I interviewed author Delilah Marvelle in 2013 about the self-publication … Continue reading Books on Sale: Rainbow Rowell, A Boxed Set, Hunger Games, and More→

Reynolds, who writes paranormal romance, and has a brand spanky new book out. Aden, a vampire romance, is … Continue reading An Interview with DB Reynolds→

It’s time for yet another Adventure Of Bucket! Not Hyacinth Bucket, nor the Lolrus Bucket. This bucket. This bucket has a lot of work to do. Here’s an example. Look!

Bucket had some help from his main man, … Continue reading That Bucket Gets BUSY→
Day 2 of RomCon began early and somewhat stressful. Our Reader Roundtable was scheduled for 9am, but when we got there, with about 15 or so people in the room, we were told there was a small sign on the door that our panel had been moved to 10am in a totally different room. We had no idea there’d been a change, so we held the panel at 9 for the people in the room, … Continue reading RomCon Day Two→
