The Silliness That Is Blogloving or Claiming My Blog.

Hmm, apparently to take advantage of all of Bloglovin's features, I have to "claim" it. Which is pretty darn silly since I've been using them for weeks now but here goes.

Get Yourself Some Animal Attraction and Help Some Animals! New Romance Anthology

As you know I'm an animal lover. While I'm partial to cats, I love all animals and believe they all deserve to be treated decently and domestic animals given a good home. Several of romance's hot authors have come together to write a book to help animals.

"Animal Attraction" brings you four sizzling tales of finding love unexpectedly—with a little help from man’s best friend. All Author and Agent proceeds from sales of this book will benefit the Animal Adoption Foundation, a no-kill animal shelter in Hamilton, Ohio.

Blurb from the author:

Lizzy Bennet’s fundraising mission is to keep her homeless centre’s clients well-fed through a cold prairie winter. She meets the snobby and pompous William Darcy of Fitz & William Enterprises. While she'd never dare ask him for help, she can't stop bumping into him -- sometimes, quite literally.

But when Lizzy's campaign is cut short by the disappearance of her sixteen year old sister, William and his younger sister step in to help the woman they want to make part of their family.

Inspired by Jane Austen's classic, Pride and Prejudice, First (Wrong) Impressions is Lizzy's quest for happiness, security, and love in the 21st century. 

Interview with author James Ramsey & A Giveaway!

Pour yourself a drink and get comfy, today I'm interviewing urban fantasy author James Ramsey. Often accused of being lost in her own world, James spends most of her time at home with her husband and a menagerie of animals.

She blames her love of the written word entirely on her Grandfather who owned a bookstore, feeding her addiction regularly. Cutting her teeth on illustrated fairy tales she quickly moved on to Farley Mowatt and Lucy Maude Montgomery.

New Book by Krista D. Ball!!

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Krista's books. I own all but a few and have enjoyed them. She has something very different coming out next week, not at all like her fantasies and sci fi's. No, "First (Wrong) Impressions" is is a modern update on Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice", and it's available on Sunday, June 2nd. Even better, it will be FREE Sunday through Thursday June 6th so if you aren't sure you'll like this genre switch or you have never read Krista before, you can get it and all it will cost you is your time. It's only available on Amazon on kindle format, but if you need it in another format, you can email Krista and she'll send it to you; kristadball@gmail.com
