Booking It…and a writing contest Back to Blog
Monday, again. These weekends have seriously got to stop passing by so quickly!
I did give my presentation on query letters and synopsis writing on Saturday–I should have that information posted on my website soon. I’ll be sure to post a blog when the info is up.
But for now…let’s talk books. 🙂
Ellie Marvel has a new interactive book out now. Oh, yeah, I said interactive. Remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books? (I devoured the books as a kid.) Well, Ellie has used ebook technology to create an interactive adventure for romance lovers. Here’s the blurb for MEGAN’S CHOICE:
Megan Malone, the quadrant’s fastest zip ship pilot, is overworked, overtired and craves the surf, sun and sex of a paradise planet vacation. When her employer receives an urgent commission from the government requesting Megan’s services on a diplomatic mission, she’s all set to refuse–especially when she finds out her domineering ex-lover Yusef Gunnen will be part of that mission. But what Megan doesn’t know is that she’s no longer calling her own shots. You are calling the shots. And what you decide Megan will do at the end of each episode will change her life forever.

I think Ellie has a brilliant idea with this book. Choosing my adventure? Controlling the characters? I am so there.
Anya Bast has a new paranormal out (okay, it comes out on Jan. 6). WITCH HEART is the third book in her Elemental Witches series. I love Anya’s witch stories. Great books with lots of action and twists. You can’t go wrong with a Bast book.
And, if you’re looking for a sexy book that is filled with emotion, then Megan Hart has the story for you. Megan does sensual, emotionally gripping stories like no other writer I know. Her latest book, STRANGER, is available now (and was chosen as a Top Pick by RT!).
Anyone else want to make some book recommendations?
And, if you’re a writer (one who writes hot romances) then you should definitely check out the 2009 Manic Readers Romance Novel Writing Contest.
I just finished “Veil of Midnight”, the 5th book in Lara Adrian’s “Midnight Breed” series. It rocked and reviewed it on my blog. 🙂
Have a great day Cynthia!
Cynthia — thanks for the plug! People have started giving me interactive fiction as gifts. It’s been a good type flashback!
Jody / Ellie
I saw that about Ellie Marvel. What brilliance to do something like that!
I love the cover for STRANGER, the peek into the bedroom. Very sexy.
I read WHAT A SCOUNDREL WANTS by Carrie Lofty. Wow! Carrie is good.
Megan’s Choice sounds very cool, I used to love those Choose Your Own Adventure books. I just finished Whisper of Lies by Cindy Gerard..loved it…and now I’m starting Witch Heart. I’ll be so sad when Anya’s last Elemental Witch book comes out this year, I really enjoy this series.
I’m reading A Veiled Deception by Annette Blair. So far, it’s great! *G*
Those are some great recommendations. Megan’s Choice sounds really intriguing, especially since I loved the Choose Your Own Adventure Books when I was younger.
Hey Cindy, beautiful covers! And I loved the choose adventure idea too. 🙂 I just read Karin Tabke’s Master of Torment, second in her Bloodsword series. Fabulous read, and it was my favorite so far. And I’m reading a Karen White book now titled, The House on Tradd Street. Really enjoying it!
I LOVED those choose your own adventure books as a kid. I go through them over and over, and choose differently each time 🙂 .
I just read Graceling by Kristin Cashore, and loved it.
Hi, Lea! I’ve been wanting to read that series! I’ve heard so many good things about those books.
Jody, I love the concept behind this book! So clever!!! Congratulations!
Edie, I’ve heard a lot of buzz about Carrie’s book. That one’s on my TBR list for sure b/c I do love me some Will Scarlett. 🙂
Cheryl, I’ve been enjoying these witches, too. But I am sure Anya will give us something great to take their place.
Hi, Brandy! I like that title. Now, I’m gonna have to go to Amazon to check it out.
Karin, weren’t those the best? LOL.
LaDonna, I always enjoy Karin Tabke’s work–thanks for mentioning her historicals. I’ve been in the mood for historical tales lately.
Hi, Michelle! Choose your adventure–but choose wisely. Seemed like I never chose wisely for my characters back then. 🙂
I’m reading “Devil May Ride” by Wendy Roberts. It’s a great book.
