Hi all you good people! Thanks for the invitation. I'm an early retired teacher (had to quit when I could to keep my sanity) and a multi-genre author and host of a podcast blog at http://2012writersalive.blogspot.com I've interviewed some NYT best selling authors and other famous and not so famous people. Since Romance writing is the growing trend now, I just can't look away. I guess my writing is also a bit romantic but more on the dark and edgy side. Best wishes to all in whatever you are working on!

My name is Mari. I live in Arizona, yes the desert, cowboys, snakes, scorpions, roadrunners, coyotes. in fact, we have a Road Runner that we have nicknamed Robby , courtesy of my daughter. And yes it gets hotter than hell, during the summers.

And you won't get it unless you live here but it's a dry heat and it makes all the difference between a wet one.

You all are familiar with humidity, I'm sure, well we have negative humidity in the summer. We love the rain . . . when it comes.

that's a little bit about where I'm from.

I love to write about fantasy and paranormal.

I've posted earlier where my books can be found for free on authonomy.

I have two of them;

Lovely Dark Fallen

Worse Than Bad

Thanks for listening and thank you so much for the invite

PLEASE SPREAD THE NEWS! THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Hi, All~ Thank you for the invite. It's my pleasure to join this group of diverse and talented women, united by a passion. I write erotic romances-- the three-part SEDUCED BY THE PARK AVENUE BILLIONAIRE is my first series. My next book, UNDYING LOVE, is a total tearjerker (not sure if it count as romance!) and will be out on April 19. I am also the author of the highly rated fantasy/romance series: DEWITCHED: The Untold Story of the Evil Queen. Looking forward to spending time with all of you. Warm best~ Nelle

Thanks so much for the invite! I'm Kathryn Knight, I write paranormal romance - ghost stories are my specialty :) I have 2 novels (Silver Lake and Gull Harbor) published with The Wild Rose Press and I'm working on a YA novel now. When I'm not writing, I'm reading, gardening, driving my boys to soccer and baseball, and teaching fitness classes.

Hi All

You can find my introduction below under AUTHORS :-)

Hi!

Thanks for the invitation :). I'm a romance author with two historical regencies and several contemporary romances. My latest released on Valentine's Day - "Rescued by a Duke"

Hi, Everyone!!! Thanks for the invite, Angela! I love all kinds of romance novels. You'll also find me under Authors as both Valerie Douglas (contemporary and romantic suspense) and V. J. Devereaux (erotic contemporary and paranormal romances).

Hi! I am Ilsa and write New Adult romance. I just finished my second MS, and am looking for some great beta readers if anyone is interested in reading.

I love all kinds of romance. Some of my favs are Eloisa James, Beth Kery, and Colleen Hoover...

Can't wait to connect with some of you! :)

Hi! Thanks for the invite, Angela! I am a romance reader from way back (favorite all time is Laura Kinsale). I also have written a historical romance series (Once Upon a Wedding).

I'm going to be controversial here, but I'm not loving the new crop of historicals that are all love scene and not that much history. I really like the feeling of being immersed in the period. Any pointers in the direction of meaty history historicals would be much appreciated (not dissing the love heavy ones, just find they don't leave me as satisfied :-)

Hi Kelly! I love historicals as well! Carolyn Jewel and Eloisa James are my favorites...love the true literary style both of them use. They don't write just a slap-it-together book, but a rich novels that I think about for days...

Hi, I'm Renee Waring. Thanks for the invite! I am an avid romance reader, beta reader, free lance proofreader, and author swag Busy Beader. I look forward to getting to know all of you and your work.

Hi, I'm Ella Quinn. I'm a author and reader. My favorite genre is historical romance. I'm married with a grown son and granddaughter. I live in St Thomas, VI. I'll tell you about my books in the author section.

Hi, I'm a book lover from Quebec, Canada! I live in french but read my books in English. I prefer stories of the Regency-Victoria era and Scottish romances, I read 2-3 books a week, love them all. But, I don't often read contemporary or vampire stories. I love to discover "new-to-me" authors and their books, sometimes I do discover a gem! I am retire from work! Usually, when I read a book, I write a review for it, to thank the author! You can see my reviews here on Goodreads! Always, up for a challenge! I was surprised by Angela's invitation, since I do not write! I can't wait to see your books!

Nicole wrote: "Hi, I'm a book lover from Quebec, Canada! I live in french but read my books in English. I prefer stories of the Regency-Victoria era and Scottish romances, I read 2-3 books a week, love them all. ..."

Thank you so much, Nicole. I'm so glad you're interested in them.

Like many of you, I'm a novice authorette from somewhere in eastern Ontario, Canada. I do have a rather boring (but entirely neccessary) day job, and love supernatural romance, urban fantasy, and paranormal romance. Also some light SF now and again.

I'll save the self-promo for the appropriate section, but my own reading interests revolve around Karen Marie Moning, Karen Chance, and Laurel K. Hamilton, until Anita Blake hit book 11, and it went silly-silly. ;)

Hi, My name is Linda Bolton. I write contemporary romance. My first novel was released Dec 2012. My secind will be out by summer. I also write erotica under Addison Murray. I hope to have at least one novel/novella out by the end of the year. Nice to meet you all!

Hi,
I'm Shane Etter. My 1st novel, Bottom Dwellers, a supernatural thriller, was published by Black Rose Writing in April, '11. The sequel, Mind Dwellers, releases this Thursday, 3-28. I've described both books as love stories and as a man, I know I can use some help in the romance dept.

Hi, I'm Angela and I am a writer. My debut novel entitled The Love Thief is available now. Thank you for the invite.

Hi, I'm Desiree Holt and I write erotic romance, for six different publishers. I live in Texas so most of my heroes are cowboys. I have more than 140 titles in release and this week I hit the Amazon Best Selling Author List. Celebrating!

Hi, I'm Alan Hardy and am a Brit. I'm a director of an English language school for foreign students. Married, with one daughter. Poetry pamphlets: Wasted Leaves, 1996; I Went With Her, 2007. I've had poems published in such magazines as Orbis, Iota, The Interpreter's House, Poetry Nottingham, Poetry Salzburg Review, Poetry Cornwall, and others. I have now written five novels. I would describe them as surreal novels exploring the nature of relationships, romantic and sexual, and Britain's class-system, with liberal use of comedy and satire, creating original and riveting settings full of humour, romance, sex and adventure. One of them, GABRIELLA (a bawdy, comic, satirical romp), is now up on Amazon, etc., and I will give details in the AUTHOR section.
I’ve been writing poetry for many years, with some success. I wrote a novel or two when I was very young, but have only recently returned to writing novels. I think it’s always a lame excuse to say you just don’t have time to write a novel, what with work, or study, or family commitments, etc., that there just aren’t enough moments in the day… What I’ve found is that when you do finally start writing (you know, call time on all those excuses), then there are more than enough hours and minutes in the day to keep on and on writing. So, don’t listen to those excuses. Find the time. Write that novel that’s been buzzing around in your head such a long time. You won’t regret it.

Hi y'all,
Thank you for the invitation to be a part of the group!

I'm Tambra Nicole Kendall. I write romance with a strong Celtic slant. The heat levels range from sensual to erotic.
The love of things Celtic are come by honestly since I'm mostly Scottish and English; with a bit of Irish and Welsh tossed in.

I've been published by small press and a few e-pubs. About a year-and-a-half ago I started Daughters of Avalon Publishing, LLC to publish my work.

My newest title is: The Scottish-English Texan: 56 Teatime Recipes by Tambra Nicole Kendall, available in print and ebook from Amazon. The book made it to number 1 in the Kindle store in its category.

Currently, the print version is on sale at Amazon.

I'm looking forward to networking with all of you.

All the best,
Tambra Nicole Kendall

Hi Everyone!!
My name is Crystal Newman and I review books for different sites and I also Beta read for several authors. I love to read anything that is romance. I am from Cana, Virginia but moved to Inwood, Iowa a year ago with my husband and four kids. Can't wait to meet everyone!

Hi and thanks for the invite. My name is Elizabeth Hull and my by line is C.N.Lesley. Someone else unfortuanately beat me to it in the publishing industry, so the by line is needed. My debut book, is a dark romantic fantasy. I suppose a person could say it was a paranormal fantasty as there are shapeshifters involved, only mine are a tad different. Anyhow, that is where I will be parking myself.

Thanks for the invite! So great to be here. I'm writing an Urban Fantasy series, and a pirate historical romance. The first book in my Urban Fantasy series The Necromancer's Seduction comes out July 15. The Urban Fantasy is about a necromancer and contains a strong romantic subplot involving a sexy demon warrior :)
