Heather Haven ~ Have you ever gone anywhere exotic on vacation?
Yes! I’ve been very lucky. We’ve traveled a lot of Europe but I think the Amalfi coast was the most spectacular.  There’s a reason why poets through the ages have liked it the best!

Heather Haven ~ What’s your favorite summer time drink?
Mai tai. Anything with rum!

Heather Haven ~ Do you live close to the ocean? Do you have a favorite beach you used to visit as a child?
Miami Beach as a lot of great beaches. But I have to say, Crandon Park near Miami. Groups of us went there all the time. There’s a zoo, as well. I remember we would periodically hear the lifeguard’s whistle, and have to get out of the ocean because schools of sharks were swimming by. We’d wait fifteen minutes or so, then splash back in. All part of growing up in a beach environment.

Heather Haven ~ Do you even like summer or is winter, spring or fall more what you enjoy?
Love them all!

Heather Haven ~ Have you experienced any damage from summer hailstorms? 
No. We live in San Jose, California. When it rains, they call it a STORM around here.

(IN ORDER TO BE IN THE DRAWING FOR PRIZES YOU MUST LEAVE A COMMENT WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. THERE ARE MANY PRIZES BEING OFFERED IN THIS BLOG HOP. SO DON'T BE SHY, LEAVE A COMMENT AND MESSAGE TO POSSIBLY BE A WINNER.) BEACHWALK PRESS is a great place to be. When I was looking for another home for my short erotic holiday romance, The Cowgirl's Christmas, Pam Tyner was very enthusiastic. She's always shown herself to be someone who is passionate about this business, about the books she has. She's been my editor from the first day and has shown a great amount of skill and passion for it. Not only does she do an amazing job as the editor but she's also a great marketing and promotional support person. Never too busy to answer a question or talk about a new idea for promo. She's one of the best I've ever seen when it comes to communication with both staff and authors. We're a team - a fellowship of writers if you will who can share our trials and trib...

Ray Rhamey has arrived!

By
Thank you Mr. Rhamey for coming by. Its a great pleasure to have you here today. I hope our readers will stop in and ask a lot of questions, maybe post a paragraph or two of their current project to get some fresh insight. "Thank you for having me." 1. How long have you been part of the industry? In the sense that I’ve devoured novels since I was a boy, virtually a lifetime. My first interest in publishing sparked when I graduated from college. But I had a degree in psychology, was in Texas, and had a family that I needed to support--I couldn’t figure out how to get into publishing. So I left that ambition behind. Dissolve to decades later when my advertising career had pretty much run its course due to ageism and economic downturn. I had been writing novels and was a member of a critique group. Based on what I did in our weekly sessions, two members separately asked me to edit their novels. They found what I did to be very helpful. You should understand that I h...

Book Signings the frustrations and the joys

By
With several books now available, I was honored when a local bookstore asked me in for a booksigning. Like any author, I ordered a few of each of my books in both print and ebook (CD's) and prepared to wow the crowds. I got there an hour early - set up, got organized, made sure my pens worked and waited. Waited for friends, co-workers, family - who'd said they'd be there but didn't show up. By the time my signing was over, I'd become almost resigned to its failure. After all how can it be a success when I sold one book and talked to a few people - who asked questions but didn't make a purchase? Yet it wasn't a complete frustrating failure. Oh no, by making one sale I have my book(s) in another persons hands. There was another lady there as well who gave me her card and said "call me". Is she a buyer? Yes, she is. She owns a book store several hours away from my hometown. And i will definitely be calling her. As well, I learned a few other tidbits a...
