Mimi Jean Pamfiloff | And Now, a Word from Cimil, Your Friendly Neighborhood Goddess of the Underworld…
Author Guest / May 26, 2016

Well, hellooo there, my little people pets! My name is Cimil—aka, Goddess of the Underworld. Also known as Ah-Puch by the Mayans, Mictlantecuhtli by the Aztec, Grim Reaper by the Europeans, Hades by the Greeks…you get the picture! And yes, yes. I know you have many questions for awesome me, but before we begin, I would like to remind you pervy mortals out there to text, message, tweet, stalk on FB, smoke signal—whatever works—this author person, Mimi Jean. While her upcoming release TOMMASO certainly has some juicy, indecent moments, we demand she get super-raunchy, XXX-kinky, mother-will-disown-her-sexy, for the next book! #GodOfWine #MakeItDirtyMimi! My unicorn, Minky, demands it. Alrighty, now that we have that important business out of the way, I bet you’re wondering what a Goddess of the Underworld does all day besides star in books, take souls to their final resting place, and watch reruns of The Love Boat. Yep! You guessed it. I sit around being awesome! (And super evil.) I also answer a lot of fan-mail. So what’s the one question I get asked the most? You guessed right again! “When will the world end?” To which I respond, “Who the hell cares? You’re all going to…

Jamie K. Schmidt | Pamper Yourself like a Dragon Queen
Author Guest / May 26, 2016

When you are a dragon Queen, you are pampered and spoiled by your court. Of course, if you don’t have a court yet, like Queen Margery in my latest Emerging Queens book, THE QUEEN’S DANCE, you’re fighting for your life as rampaging Cultists try to kill you and greedy dragon studs try to kidnap you. But all the more reason to form a court and be treated like the Queen you are. Dragon Queen Carolyn from the first book in the series, THE QUEEN’S WINGS, recommends a few good books to read and then a few more downloaded onto your tablet. And maybe a quick visit to the library to round out your TBR pile. Make sure you bring your long suffering protector or consort to carry all those books for you. Once you have all the books to read, you can indulge by reading in the tub, in bed, in a hammock, in the car… Some of Carolyn’s favorite books are: Anne Bishop‘s Black Jewels Trilogy Lee Child‘s Jack Reacher series Sarah MacLean‘s Rule of Scoundrels series Alexander McCall Smith‘s Number One Ladies Detective series Karen Marie Moning‘s Fever series On the other hand, Dragon Queen Viola from THE…

Nancy Scanlon | Five Reasons We Love Time Travel
Author Guest / May 26, 2016

Time-travel romances can take you anywhere, any time, and in any direction. But what makes them eternal? I’ve come up with a list of five reasons why we love time-travel romances. The experience So many people long for experiences, but the reality is, we can’t possibly experience everything in this life. That’s where books come in – and that’s especially where time travel shines! Of course we know that times were rough in earlier periods, but as time-travel romance readers, we get to experience the best of what the era had to offer, while looking at it all through the rosy glasses of hindsight. We can take the best of a culture, spin the most heroic qualities of the time into a hero (or heroine!), and make an ideal out of it. We can take a piece of ourselves – the piece that we relate to in one of the characters – and get that happily-ever-after, in the most perfect setting, in a time where the good always outweighs the bad. Love is transcendent It’s one thing to know that your beloved would give up his phone for you, but it’s a whole new experience when he’d be willing to…
