I'm looking forward to being part of this event. Check out The Romance Reviews website in November to find out more about great giveaways, new authors, and online fun and frolics.
Halloween is a great excuse to dig out Nightmare Before Christmas and all my favourite spooky stories, so my contribution to the Halloween blog hop is, in no particular order, my seven favourite magical books (or series - a sneaky way of not quite having to narrow down to seven books) of all time. How many have you read? Follow the hop for more fun, great books, and awesome prizes. And make sure to read to the end for a chance to win a sneak preview of a magical collection, as well as a hop-wide prize draw for $50 or $100 in Amazon gift cards. Tamora Pierce: Alanna (Song of the Lioness series) Along with 'Little Women', this is one of my most read books ever. The story of a girl in a magical land which, sadly, reflects our own in having certain expectations of how boys and girls will behave. Alanna doesn't want to be a lady and learn to dress prettily and walk nicely. She wants to fight the bad guys, and both she and her twin Thom are gi...
Today I'm delighted to welcome Crimson Romance author Nancy C Weeks to my blog. Hi Nancy! When did you first know you wanted to be a writer? I think I have always wanted to be a writer but never thought it was something I could do. Honestly, I didn’t believe I was smart enough to write a book. I don’t know why I had so little faith in myself. When I meet people now and hear my words coming out of their month, “OH, I could never write a whole book,” I give them a hug ― because I’m a big hugger — and tell them that they sure the heck can write a book if that’s their passion.

I throw an element of supernatural into the suspense to add to the conflict and tension. ‘In the Shadow of Greed’ has both paranormal and hi-tech aspects to it – what did you do to r...
Today I am hosting fellow Crimson Romance author Zrinka Jelic. Make sure to read to the end, as Zrinka is kindly offering an ecopy of Rose of Crimson or one of her other books to one lucky commenter. Welcome to my blog. I’ve never met a Zrinka before! Is it a Croatian name? Thanks for having me on your blog today. It’s a pleasure to be here. Yes, Zrinka is a Croatian name. It comes from an ancient noble family Zrinski. That last name still exist in Croatia, but the descendants are no longer nobles or they never been. During Feudalism serfs often assumed or were given their masters’ last name as a stake or claim on their lives. You live in Canada now. Do you make use of your different travel experiences in your stories? Yes, for over twenty years now I’ve been calling Canada my new home. I always use experiences from my travel in my stories, however sometimes readers have a hard time believing certain things, like you cannot rent a car with automatic...
