#Author Tory Michaels On Balancing Acts, Dream-Walker Tour

Hey, everyone, please welcome author Tory Michaels to the blog today! She comes to us by way of Sizzling PR on her Dream-Walker War tour. I owe Tory a HUGE apology – this post was supposed to go live early this morning, and I put the wrong date in the scheduler! Getting the date wrong seems to be a habit – I did that on another post a few days ago. Matter of fact, I think I set them up at the same time, so maybe it was just that day… So, Tory, I hope you’ll accept my apologies, and hugs. I’m sorry that the chaos currently infesting my life spilled over into yours! Hi, Kenra, and thanks for having me here on your blog today. Your topic is one that is a constant battle for me, finding the balance between my writing and the rest of my life. I have … Continue reading

Join me in welcoming Jennifer Malone Wright, author of THE VAMPIRE HUNTER’S DAUGHTER, to the blog today. Don’t forget to enter the GIVEAWAY below! Jennifer is offering some fantastic prizes!

Author Heather Long On Comic Books & Heroes

Please join me in welcoming author Heather Long to the blog today. She’s here to talk about some life lessons everyone needs to learn, but some never do, and her book, Yesterday’s Heroes. Don’t forget to enter the giveaway for a chance to win a copy of Yesterday’s Heroes or Marshal of Hel Dorado! Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Comic Books My mother never saw value in reading comic books. She called it “a waste of money” and, worse, “a waste of my time.” Unfortunately for her, I was a stubborn kid. When she ‘threatened’ to never pay for my comics again, I got a part time job and paid for them myself. When she refused to get me a ride to the comic book store, I took four different buses a total of twelve miles—including a half-mile walk to the bus stops on either end. When … Continue reading

Judging A Book By Its Cover with Malia Mallory

Today we have Erotic Romance Author Malia Mallory to talk about the value of a book’s cover. These days, the cover is more important than ever, since it has to catch the reader’s eye all by itself – no cute store displays, no table in the center aisle, no big shelf stocked with a hundred copies. Just that lonely little cover there in the virtual bookstore, along with all the others. Now, here’s Malia: Enticing Erotica Covers I recently decided some of my covers needed an upgrade. I’d been looking around at the fabulous covers of my author friends and feeling jealous. In fact, I was becoming concerned it might even be hurting my sales. I needed to step it up. So, what to do? I contacted a cover artist who had done some work I admired. She did a new design concept for my ABCs of Erotica series. I … Continue reading

Stop by and check it out. I can tell you now, you really want to read this book!   Buy Blood Avenged (Sons of Navarus) by Gabrielle Bisset at Amazon I’ve written a number of characters who stay with me more than others.  My one villain turned hero, Amon Kalins, will forever be my first author-character love.  I fell in love with him as soon as he hit the page (I hand write everything, so the idea literally came out on a piece of paper).  And as soon as he entered the story, he threatened to take up all the air in … Continue reading
