Being a More Responsible Blogger

July 24, 2012 by Mandi 33 Comments

Because this is an important topic and it affects many, Sophia and I decided to blog together today and post this on both of our blogs in hopes of reaching out to as many of our fellow bloggers as possible.

She recently bloggedaboutherexperience and educated many bloggers on what copyright and fair use is and how it Continue Reading

July 23, 2012 by Mandi 1 Comment

We continue our Author’s After Dark series spotlight with Samantha Somersby. Now a full-time writer, she credits her background in the psychiatric field to bring a unique perspective to her characters and stories. A few highlights of her backlist: Shelter from the Storm In any other circumstance, Jennifer Jones's first meeting with Maclain Moore would have been called serendipity, a happy coincidence. She's looking for a new roommate; he's looking for a place to live. It doesn't hurt that Continue Reading

The Awesome that is Firelight by Kristen Callihan

July 23, 2012 by Mandi 26 Comments

  Saturday I woke up, hopped onto my Google Reader and read this early review of Moonglow by Kristen Callihan. Pam is one of my go to readers for recs, so I was very intrigued. After some research I realized Tori, Bells and many others loved the first book in the series, Firelight. So with a quick ‘one-click’ at Amazon I had it on my kindle. I loved this book. It is a paranormal historical, although I’d say the first half of the book only hints at the paranormal aspects. But we have Continue Reading
