What We’re Reading: Blood Vine by Amber Belldene
I have every one of my fellow Paranormal Unbound authors on my TBR. Since I read disturbingly little paranormal–at least not while I’m writing it–I’ve only whacked away at a couple so far.

When I realized I was schedule for a Paranormal Unbound conversation today and didn’t have an interview, I decided to have a conversation with Twitter and Facebook.

Recently she’s become a bit of a fear junkie, curious about nightmares in her closet, bears in caves, and the big bad … Continue reading
Amber’s take on Fated Mates.
Are you a fan of the Fated Mates trope? Mostly, I am. I adored the book The Time Traveler’s Wife, and while not strictly a Fated Mates story, the way Henry and Claire’s lives crisscrossed in time gave it that feel. It’s not a romance novel, but it is one of the most romantic books … Continue reading

Gone With the Wolf
There’s been a bit of hullaballoo in Romancelandia lately about disclosing relationships when we presume to rave about a book, and so I will begin by admitting I know Kristin Miller, the author of Gone With the Wolf. She was one of my roommates at RWA and we spent several nights up too late giggling with … Continue reading
