Sienna Snow | Billionaire: tech mogul, well-regarded, and a Woman!
Author Guest / November 1, 2016

A smart, sexy, and well-regarded billionaire is a rare being. Even more so, when that billionaire is—wait for it—a female! A tech mogul, who founded a billion-dollar technology empire and retained the respect of her peers as well as all who work for her. In my debut novel, RULE BREAKER, that is exactly what you get. Arya Rey is a brilliant software developer, whose dedication and attention to detail give her the ability to control every aspect of her technology domain. She is a badass heroine, always in control. With one exception, when she’s behind closed doors and in the presence of her dominate ex-lover Maxwell Dane. He is the only man with the ability to call to a desire no one dare know about: the need for submission, the need for domination. In Max’s arms, Arya can relinquish all power and gain the freedom she craves. Max wants one thing, to have the woman he loves back in his life, not only as his submissive but also as his equal, his wife. Nevertheless, she refuses, and so if domination is what she wants, domination is what he’ll give her. Maybe one day, she’ll recognize that what they share is…

Writes: I write Celtic fantasy romance, contemporary romance and romantic comedy. WHAT YOU DO TO ME, out November 1, 2016 is a flirty, fun, humorous contemporary romance/romantic comedy. About: I live in Minnesota, where the winters are long, brutally cold and dark—the perfect environment for writing if one does not enjoy outdoor winter sports.

Kasey Lane | Top 10 Opposites Attract Films of all time!
Author Guest / November 1, 2016

In my new Rock ’n’ Ink series the primary theme of opposites attracting is played out against a backgound of the Portland music scene. But the stories, at their core, are about characters from different backgrounds and social groups — opposing archetypes — finding themselves attracted to one another and eventually falling in love. In my debut BEAUTIFUL CRAZY a very alpha business mogul goes toe-to-toe with a free spirited rockabilly rebel. Not only are they both shocked at meeting their match, but they both learn a lesson on not judging a book by the cover. Disclaimer: this is not the case for BEAUTIFUL CRAZY as the gorgeous cover for my book is a spot on representation of the story. I think most romance fans will agree that Jane Austen’s PRIDE AND PREJUDICE holds a special place in our hearts for a number of reasons. For me it’s the opposing archetypes trying to stay true to themselves and yet, despite their own personal history and the rules of the society they live in, they’re driven to love the things they intitial disliked about each other. I’ve thrown together a top 10 list of some of my favorite movies that explore…

An Exclusive Interview with Jackson St. James from WORTH THE RISK
Author Guest / November 1, 2016

Welcome, readers! We’re here to day with Jackson St. James, to find out a little bit about his recent travels and new love interest. For those unfamiliar with him, Jackson is the middle child of the St. James family, sandwiched between his older brother, David, and his baby sister, Cat. He’s been on the sidelines for each of their love affairs, and is now at the start of his own. Jackson, before we get around to hearing about your love interest, please briefly tell us what took you to Vermont. My life took a bunch of wrong turns after I lost some things that can’t be replaced. I thought I was handling everything just fine, but my brother and sister staged an intervention at the end of the summer. I hit the pause button on my life and came to Vermont for several weeks to prove I can stay sober, and to rethink my priorities. Thanks for being so candid. We wish you well. Why’d you pick Vermont instead of a rehab program? I don’t need rehab. Give me Mother Nature and a little counseling and I can do the heavy lifting myself. Like I told David and Cat, I’m…

Kate Avery Ellison | The Life Cycle of a YA Thriller
Author Guest / November 1, 2016

I didn’t start gobbling up thrillers until after my son was born and I needed books that would keep my attention through the fog of sleepiness and hormones. I fell in love with the genre, and wanted to write a psychological thriller myself. I already liked to put some kind of thrilling suspense in all my books. (In my series The Frost Chronicles, the frozen world is populated with unseen monsters that only come out under the cover of darkness. In my fantasy novel A Gift of Poison, robed mind-readers called Seekers stalk my main character through a wilderness because of her gift of controlling dragons.) But I wanted to write a straight thriller. Here’s my process from idea to finished novel. Step one – come up with a premise or scene that grabs you. For me, that scene ended up being when the main character, Victoria, is kidnapped from her parents’ cabin. Writing the scene made my heart pound. Step two – figure out a twist, or three. To me, this is essential for a good thriller. I figured out the twist at the end of my book while driving, and I had to hold my idea in my…
