Romance Book Casting Call with Kim from SOS Aloha and Giveaway

Kim Lowe is a romance reader who lives near Pearl Harbor. She blogs about books at SOS Aloha, www.sosaloha.blogspot.com. Hawaii’s breathtaking beauty inspires Kim to also blog about island travel at Aloha On My Mind, www.alohaonmymind.com.

Romance Book Casting Call with Vicky Dreiling and Giveaway

Today I would love to welcome to the Casting Call Vicky Dreiling. Vicky is amazing and her books rock my socks. She is also the brilliant mastermind behind Man Candy Mondays. Seriously, I <3 Vicky big time and I super happy to have her back on the blog to celebrate with us.


Vicky Dreiling is a confirmed historical romance junkie and Anglophile. Frequent business trips to the UK allowed her to indulge her passion for all things Regency England. Bath, Stonehenge, and Spencer House are among her favorite places. She is, however, truly sorry for accidentally setting off a security alarm in Windsor Castle. That unfortunate incident led her British colleagues to nickname her “Trouble.” When she’s not writing, Vicky enjoys reading, films, concerts, and most of all, long lunches with friends. A native Texan, she holds degrees in English literature and marketing.

Romance Book Casting Call with Jenn LeBlanc and Giveaway

Today I would like to welcome to the Casting Call the fabulous Jenn LeBlanc. Jenn is seriously one of my favorite people and I lurve her very much. In fact I want to be just like her when I grow up. =) Jenn is super duper awesome and it's just not an event on the blog without her stopping by.

Welcome to the Casting Call Jenn!

Jenn is a novelist and photographer born, raised and living in the lee of the great Rocky Mountains. Her illustrated Novel THE RAKE AND THE RECLUSE was originally released in February of 2011 to rave reviews and snarky comments. She recently revised the entire novel, turning it into a six-part serial with all new material and the never before released story of Perry, The Rake.

Romance Book Casting Call with Delilah Marvelle and Giveaway

Today I would like to welcome to the Casting Call Delilah Marvelle. Delilah has some seriously hot books that delve into some very riske' topics and I love them. If you haven't read her books before, you are seriously missing out and need to stop what you are doing right now and go and buy them. You won't be sorry.

Delilah Marvelle spent her youth studying various languages, reading voraciously, and playing the pianoforte. She confesses that here ends the extent of her gentle breeding. She was a naughty child who was forever torturing her parents with countless adventures that they did not deem respectable. Confined to her room on many occasions due to these misadventures, she discovered the quill and its amazing power. Soon, to the dismay of her parents, she rather enjoyed being confined to her room and finished writing her first historical romance (which was a heart stopping 800 pages long...) at the age of 14.

Today I am happy to welcome to the Casting Call Elise Rome. Elise is absolutely one of my favorite people and is truly made of awesome. I <3 her and her books and I'm so happy that she was able to stop by and share in the celebration. =)

Welcome to the Casting Call Elise

Elise Rome has never forgiven Margaret Mitchell for making her fall in love with Scarlett and Rhett in Gone with the Wind and then not giving them a happy ending. She likes to think that she makes up for the injustice done to them with each romance novel she writes. When she isn't telling stories about sexy, headstrong heroes and intelligent, independent heroines, Elise stays busy chasing after her two young daughters, semi-attempting to do housework, and hiking in the beautiful foothills of Colorado.

Feature and Giveaway: Sex, Lies & Mistletoe by Tawny Weber

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Tawny was unable to cast her books. But fear not, we still want to feature her books because they are made of awesome and we want to share them with everyone.

I love romance. Happily ever after, hot love scenes… all the good things in life.

For a long time, I was content to explore this enticing world through books. Then, wow – I found out it can happen in real life. I met my husband, who showed me that all those wonderful, magical feelings described in the books are real. Hey, what d’ya know, fiction really IS based in reality.

Once that particular dream came true, it was like Pandora’s Box opened… if I could have that dream – why not the one I’d hidden away in that quiet corner of my mind… the one about putting those stories dancing around in my head onto paper (or computer screen) and writing my own romances?

It took awhile. Workshops and classes, voraciously devouring every how-to book I could buy, studying the market and finding my niche – to say nothing of my voice. Throw in those little distractions like life, children and such… but the dream started taking life.

Once I joined RWA I found another form of magic. Camaraderie, support and friendships that have touched my heart. The dream is blooming. In the last few years, I have served two terms as Secretary for my online chapter, as well as Publicity Chair, Mentorship Chair, Critique Chair and moderated a few other programs. I was the 2008 President of the Black Diamonds Romance Writers and VP of Administration of the SFA-RWA — and loved the challenge. All of this gives strength to that dream, and keeps it grounded.

2010 will see my seventh, eight and ninth Harlequin Blaze novels in the shelves, with three more scheduled for 2011.

I do have other dreams that I’m happily tending: my own real-life hero husband and our two children. Our Northern California home, an ode to ideas and obsessive redecorating/remodeling. Good thing my hero is handy with a saw. Gardening, scrapbooking, crafting and an incredibly supportive family round things out. Along with homeschooling our children and writing, I work from home with my Intuitive Consulting business.
