St. Louis Lore 2007-06-21 11:22:00 So, I've started research for my non-fiction regional ghost book. I've tentatively title it "St. Louis
Lore" and I think I might stick with that one. The book will be a compilation of supernatural experiences in and around the St. Louis area. The curve to my book is that it won't all be famous stories, stories that have been included over and over again in every St. Louis Haunting book ever written. Take the Lemp Mansion, for instance, that one is so popular that it's mentioned in every regional ghost book of the St. Louis area that I've ever read. The publisher is giving me full freedom to pretty much use whatever information and stories I want. So, what I'm doing is this.......I'm asking around, interviewing real people and getting their take on what experiences they've had.So, far I have interviews set up with Doug and Scott, the hosts of GHOSTLY TALK PARANORMAL RADIO, Tracy, founding investigator and videographer and Tanya "Ice Queen" Strief, paranormal photographer and inv

She has a secret, a big one, and he intends to find out what it is.Paige Anderson is determined to flee her pampered life and the man who rejected her. So what if she couldn’t cook? She could handle this job…even if she was just a little bit pregnant.~*~EXCERPT~*~Paige was picking an apple from the highest branch when he approached her. She had hiked up the front of her dress to act as a basket for the apples she’d already picked. Her dress was thin, and it outlined the shape of her thighs and rump.

Why Authors Should Look to EBooks 2007-06-26 10:59:00 This was shared By Bridget (the beautiful and talented webmistress at Dark Eden Press). With her permission, I've posted it here. It's a little choppy, but hopefully, you can see the point, lol.1) Its tough to get published these days, why? Not because of talent but because Mainstream Publishing Houses are effected by ebooks, audio books, low sales with booksellers, and bookstore closing.From American Publishing Association: The Adult Hardcover categorywas down by 11.8 percent in April with sales of $113.0 million; however sales were up by 19.4 percent year-to-date. Adult Paperback sales also declined by 3.2 percent for the month ($114.9 million); sales were down 2.0percent for the year.The Adult Mass Market category declined by 15.2 percent for April with sales totaling $52.2 million; sales declined by 9.3 percent year-to-date.Audio Book sales posted an increase of 8.1 percent for April compared to last year's figures with sales totaling $12.3 million; sales for the whole year were

LORI DEVOTI ~ Interview 2007-07-01 10:24:00 I had the pleasure of interviewing Lori Devoti, author of UNBOUND, a novel from Silhouette's hot paranormal line, NOCTURNE. Here's what Lori had to say;What inspired you to become a writer?I don’t know. I wrote a lot of poetry as a child/teen—who didn’t? Started a couple of novels in my twenties, but never went far with them. Then after I had my daughter my husband suggested I write a book—so I did. My first manuscript was actually a mystery.Do you feel that UNBOUND is any different from others of the same genre?Well, people keep telling me it is. I guess it is. I didn’t try to write something incredibly different. It is just what came out. I read a lot of fantasy and mystery—not just romance. I guess that is why.What advice can you give an inspiring writer?This is tough because it depends on what stage the writer is at. No agent is better than a bad agent is always a good piece of advice. A rejection doesn’t mean you are a bad writer, just that that particular person a
Thirteen Things about SUMMER....1.) Thunderstorms... 2007-06-28 20:58:00 Thirteen Things about SUMMER....1.) Thunderstorms. I love them, even though all I want to do is sit and listen to the rain instead of getting any work done. 2.) My sister's name is Summer, lol. She represents it perfectly....golden curls, full of sunshine and flair.3.) Camping. I grew up camping, peeing in the woods and going to two days without a shower....yes, I know it's gross...but that's what camping is all about, lol. 4.) Rodeo. Ahhh....nothing better than the sights, sounds and smells of a summertime rodeo. Of course, if you're not used to dust clogging your nostrils and the smell of hot cow and horse shit, it might not be your thing, lol. 5.) Swimsuits. I hate them. Always have, even way back when I didn't really have anything to complain about, lol. I hate the way the fit. I hate the way they feel.6.) Daylight. I love the fact that it can still be daylight at bedtime. 7.) BBQ's. I love the feel of all those people being in the same place and just having fun.8.) Fireflies Read more:Thirteen
THE UNFORTUNATE MISS FORTUNES 2007-06-28 15:09:00 The first thing I have to say about the book is that the cover is amazing! Absolutely beautiful, yet simple, it stood out to me in a row of endless other paperbacks. It was the only reason I picked it up.I am only on page four as of yet and can honestly say it's a knock-out read. It hooked me right off the bat with the first paragraph and has had me laughing and interested since I opened it.The THE UNFORTUNATE MISS FORTUNES website was also a worthwhile visit. it has downloads (which I am now displaying as my screensaver) and a blog where the three authors of the book post. I definitely recommend checking out this new release and it's website!

Walls...... 2007-07-11 23:22:00 I just saw this icon that really got me to thinking......this is what it said......."Sometimes people put up walls not to keep others out but to see who cares enough to tear them down."Wow. Don't know why those words hit me so hard??....Maybe it's becaue I do it in my own life. Though it can be a bad thing, as I sit here and think about it, that simple sentence really defines something for me. And it has made me come to a startling conclusion. I have been waiting for someone to tear down my walls, lol.Someone who cares enough to take the time. Someone who would defend me to his last breath.And really, we don't have to be talking about relationship kind of love, we could talk about friendship, family. Who is it in my life that has cared enough to break out the jack hammer and start deconstructing the concrete? Hmmm.....This might be the beginning of a great idea........lol Read more:Walls

is warm, sincere and an absolute pleasure to know. I had the honor of interviewing this cover model and 2007 RT Convention pageant hopeful........here's what he had to say.......First things first........tell us about your family! Any brothers or sisters? I have three brothers. Two older and one younger. Paul is the oldest, followed by Matthew, me, and the youngest Aaron.How close are you to your family?I am very close to my family. From time to time we might argue, but deep down inside, it’s family. You only have one family, so make the best of it. How long have you wanted to be a model? Why? What pulls you to a modeling career? I have wanted to be a model for a very long time. Since I was just a boy. Wanting to be famous is what pulls me to modeling. I enjoy being in front of people and keeping a smile on their face. Besides that, It’s always nice to get paid to stand around and look good.On your page at MySpace, it states that you have lots of different

Review from Romance Junkies!!! I can't believe it! Here's some of what Anita had to say......."Missy Sue Hanson has created a fascinating magical adventure in which a necromancer falls in love with a warlock in her newest paranormal romance, BAYOU SUMMONS. Sweaty images of the steamy bayou and a sense of mystique set the stage for this erotic romance. Colorful and compelling characters tell their story as they come together to fight an evil that threatens the world." ~ Anita, Romance JunkiesI am SO flying high right now.....I keep wondering if my book got confused with another one, lol.
