Please join me in welcoming Elaine Lowe and her special guest today. Thank you Patricia, for letting William and I come visit your blog today. Will is the hero of my fun summer read, Magic Eights , available at Ellora’s Cave, and I’m sure you’ll welcome him with open arms. First, a quick blurb for Magic Eights: A casual wish by a frustratingly horny wife results in a most unexpected bit of magic… Susanna walks into her kitchen to see two copies of her husband of eight years, William. When they both seduce her, she’s helpless to resist. Who would want to? When another copy walks in and makes love to her, and another, she ceases to ask why, only, how much can she take? Seven copies, one original, and all of them want to push her to the very brink. Can she handle them all? Sinful satisfaction is the best anniversary present, and eight is Susanna’s lucky number. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it? You know you want to sample a taste of it. An excerpt can be found here: http://www.jasmine...

Pull up a chair, grab that cup of jo and have some of these wondeful cookies. Today we're talking to Cindy Cromer, our guest for the round table. Welcome Cindy, glad you could stop by. So, what motivated you to write in the genre you write in? CC: Ever since I was little I have loved to read.  In elementary school, I'd rather read Nancy Drew mysteries than play in the playground.  Nerd right?  In eighth grade for an assignment I wrote a descriptive essay and was placed in the honors Literature and English classes in High School. At that time I had visions of becoming a best selling author but my favorite subjects were science and math.  Nerd again!  I majored in Chemistry and Biology in college, went on to become the president of a laboratory network, and wrote numerous research and technical documents, but in all of my spare time continued to read any mystery/suspense novel I could.  I always jokingly said one day I would write a book.  My fami...

Desperate Measures by Cindy Cromer The secret is out AGAIN…! This time lives are in jeopardy. What should have been the perfect vacation soon became a nightmare. Caitlin Martel made a stop before meeting her family at Miami International Airport. A cryptic message waited for her.

In blood, leaving no doubt that Caitlin personally is the target. In a flashback Caitlin recalls the secret that her father, Jack Spencer, revealed to her sixteen years ago. He didn’t tell her everything. Will Jack be able to confront the truth and reconstruct the past in time to save his daughter?  Caitlin’s husband Scott, FBI Assistant Direc...

Thanks, glad to be here. 1. What drew you to writing and how long have youbeen writing with publication in mind? I can’t remember when I started writing, but I have never stopped.I can’t not write – my mind is constantly busy and I’m, always trying to catchup with the physical act of typing it all up. I submitted my first romanticshort story in October last year – it was accepted and I now have five shortsand my novella coming out in July. 2. Why the genre you write? I experiment with many forms of writing and always start with thestory – sometimes it’s a real surprise when I realize which genre it may fallin to. Mia’s Books is a paranormal romance which completely shocked me – I’vealway...
