Included is her news about a possible Mercy movie *gasp*, news about possible spin off books with supporting characters *double gasp* and she talks a bit about the rape scene in Iron Kissed which I found to be very interesting. She mentions that she does NOT have Continue Reading

Review: Zero at the Bone by Jane Seville
Zero at the Bone by Jane Seville April 2009 M/M Romantic Suspense E-Book/Print , 308 Pages Dreamspinner Press Reviewed by Mandi Why I read: It made the final four of the Dabwaha tournament, and when it beat The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie, I put down everything and read it.

World’s Dumbest Author MomentsOkay, I’ll confess: I’m easily amused. I love failblog.org, and the un-husband and I have been known to watch World’s Dumbest (Whatever) on Tru TV. This gem not only includes video clips of people doing really dumb things, there’s the added bonus of B-list celebs doing MST3000-type commentaries on the clips.Given that … I need to own up to a recent dumb moment of my own. The other weekend I was at a writers’ conference, talking to several relatively new Continue Reading

Smexy Cover, Disappointing Start
I received Jared by Sara McCarty for review, took one look at the cover and had a big smile on my face. It just looks so inviting. After chapter two I told myself I would give it until page 100 – I made it until 120, but this book just did not interest me. First of all, nothing happens in the first 80 or so pages. Jared, belonging to the Renegade vampires, discovers Raisa alone in the woods, surrounded by three of the bad vampires belonging to the Sanctuary. He rescues her and decides he is now Continue Reading
