My name is Binx and I’m a domestic short-haired black cat. I love to sit in the window by Mom while she works, or curl up on the sofa next to her for a nap.

Mutt or Meow Monday with Ginger, Suz deMello's Mutt

Welcome to Mutt or Meow Monday!
Mutt or Meow Monday is where we interview the author’s animal friends instead of interviewing the author. Let’s see what the animals have to say!
It’s great to have you here today.

Please introduce yourself. 

I’m Ginger. I’m little, a poodle mix—no one is sure what I am exactly! My mommy is an older lady and I love her, but the other person who lives in my home scares me. She is always in front of the funny machine with the big screen typing something. She seems to never notice me. I like to lie behind her chair, but she scares me when she shoves her chair back and nearly runs me over! So I bark at her when she hugs my mommy good-night. Loving my mommy is my job, not hers. She can go back into her office and type for all I care! But I do like the smoked cheese she bribes me with so I don’t pee in Mommy’s bed.


What’s your favorite book by Suz deMelloand why?

You’re silly! I can’t read!

Do you ever interrupt Suz deMello for attention when she’s trying to write? Does she stop and give you attention, brush you off, or bribe you with treats?

All the time! I like to annoy her. I know she hates my yap so I yap at her a lot. She will stroke me and then yell at me because she doesn’t like yappy little dogs. Too bad! ‘Cause my mommy loves me. I yap all I want.

Does Suz ever read her writing to you? Do you like it?

No, she doesn’t. She knows that the only words in English I understand are “Ginger” and “here’s a treat.”

Has Suz ever based one of her characters on you? Which one?

If she did base a character on me, it would probably be a villain. Who yaps and pees in the bed.

What does Suz do to celebrate when she finishes writing a book?

She drinks some funny bubbly stuff called “Prosecco.” I licked some off her finger once. It was icky.  And she eats chocolate. I’m not allowed to have chocolate. It’s not fair!

What do you wish Suz would do with her writing time instead of writing?
She should be playing with me! I’m fun. I like tug-of-war and catch. I love to sleep on her bed and on Mommy’s, too.

What’s the best part about living with an author?

She’s around a lot. Mommy likes her around.

What’s the worst part about living with an author?

She’s around a lot.  I don’t like her around.

Chicken, bacon or cheese? Smoked cheese smoked cheese smoked cheese FOREVAH!

Butt sniffin’, leg humpin’, fluffy toys? Toys toys toys toys!!!

Final thoughts: 

Make sure when you find your forevah home, that there isn’t a writer! They’re boring!

Interview

Hi, Jane! Welcome to my blog! Let's get right to the interview.

Q: Do you have a favorite quote or line from A Promise at Dawn? If so, please share. 
A:  When Gil tells Faye he wants to paint her, she trepidatiously asks, “You don’t want to do this in the nude, do you?”  My favorite line is Gil’s response, “Well, no, I’m not usually in the nude when I paint.  But that’s your choice.”

Mutt or Meow Monday: Meet Peanut, Annie Nicholas's Mutt + Giveaway

Welcome to Mutt or Meow Monday!

Mutt or Meow Monday is where we interview the author’s animal friends instead of interviewing the author. Let’s see what the animals have to say!

It’s great to have you here today.

Please introduce yourself.

Hello, I’m Peanut and I own Annie Nicholas. I’m a one year old Great Dane who likes to try to fit into places that won’t hold me like my human’s lap.


What’s your favorite book by Annie Nicholas and why?

I love her Chronicle of Eorthe series because it’s about wolf pack life and in my heart I KNOW I am part wolf.

Do you ever interrupt Annie Nicholas for attention when she’s trying to write? Does she stop and give you attention, brush you off, or bribe you with treats?

Are you kidding me? I live to interrupt her. Especially when she’s on the couch and I can snuggle right against her and lean my 115 pound frame against her body. She doesn’t have a choice but to stop and pay attention to me or I’d crush her to death.

Does Annie Nicholas ever read her writing to you? Do you like it?

No, she’s very tight lipped. Something about not wanting to corrupt my mind.

Has Annie ever based one of her characters on you? Which one?

No, but another author has contacted her for permission to use me.

What do you wish Annie would do with her writing time instead of writing?

Take me on long truck rides with the window down so my flubby lips can flap in the wind.

What’s the best part about living with an author?
She’s always home and accessible when I need her. She writes a lot about wolf pack dynamics and understands that some of this is part of dog pack life as well.

Chicken, bacon or cheese?  BACON           
Butt sniffin’, leg humpin’, fluffy toys? Fluffy toys

Final thoughts: Dogs are people too.

No Refuge 
Known Universe, Book 1
Annie Nicholas

Genre: Space Opera/Science Fiction Romance 
Publisher: Lyrical Press/Kensington 
Number of pages: 94, Word Count: 24,000 
Cover Artist: Renee Rocco

Hunted to near extinction by an alien race called the Ko, my people have run from Earth and drifted so far among the stars we can’t remember the way back. We live everywhere, but call nowhere home. The Ko want us erased from existence and memory. They don’t even want our DNA in the space dust. Humans disguise themselves as other alien species and hide in plain sight. It’s the only way we can survive.

I believe in the myth of Earth. I’ve even discovered a bona fide book written in the dead language of my people. My man, Brody, dreams of a secret human colony. He’s searched for years, hunting any rumor we’ve run across, and finally he’s made contact. Usually, he’s the one grounding me to station and keeping my head out of the atmosphere. Time for me to return the favor…that is, if I can ditch the Ko who’ve discovered me, thanks to my incessant artifact-hunting. If we don’t make our rendezvous, and the Ko don’t kill me, Brody just might…

CONTENT WARNING: Aliens, cargo ships, and a fast paced race against all odds.

Mother, daughter, and wife are some of the other hats she wears while hiking through the hills and dales of her adopted state of Vermont.

Mutt or Meow Monday: Meet Sheldon Sherlock Smaug Cooper Cat, Debra Glass' Meow

Welcome to Mutt or Meow Monday!

Mutt or Meow Monday is where we interview the author’s animal friends instead of interviewing the author. Let’s see what the animals have to say!

It’s great to have you here today.

Please introduce yourself.

My full name is Sheldon Sherlock Smaug Cooper Cat and I am a black and white Jellicle Cat like the ones in the famed TS Eliot poem, The Jellicle Ball.

What’s your favorite book by Debra Glass and why?

I am only seven months old, but when she was working on her current release, Rakehell, I sat on her desk, obscuring her view from her computer screen in order to sneak and read the historical romance, which is set in Victorian England. I couldn’t wait to find out how she was going to turn a marriage of convenience into a happily ever after for Adam and Primrose, but those love scenes made me blush!

Do you ever interrupt Debra for attention when she’s trying to write? Does she stop and give you attention, brush you off, or bribe you with treats?

I most certainly try to interrupt! I meow until she gives me treats. (It works every time. She can’t resist my adorable face and I use it to my full advantage) I stand in front of her computer screen so she’ll pet me – and of course, so I can read the good parts of her naughty historical romances.

Has Debra ever based one of her characters on you? Which one?

I think so, but I’m not sure… Her current work in progress, Lashwood, which is contracted with Ellora’s Cave, has a hero with penetrating eyes and a sexy baritone voice whose name is Benedict. Since my middle name is Sherlock, I can only assume I served as her inspiration.

What does Debra do to celebrate when she finishes writing a book?
                                                                           
When she finishes a book, she usually takes a nap and lets me sleep in her hair.

What else does Debra do instead of writing?
My mom just started iCandy Stock Photography, a romance novel cover stock site with lots of images authors can buy and use on the covers of their books. Any authors looking for fresh images for their books, websites, or promotional material, should check out her site at http://icandystockphoto.com!

What’s the best part about living with an author?

The thing I love most about living with an author is that she is always home with me. Although I have a sister, Lilly, and a brother, Severus, they are older cats than I am and don’t give me as much attention as I deserve! Sometimes Severus even hisses at me.

What’s the worst part about living with an author?

She is always home and I can’t eat her plants, claw the sofa, walk on the countertops, or annoy the older cats while they try to nap.

Catnip, toys or scratching post?

All three combined in one! I have a scratch pad that my mommy puts catnip in. I love to claw it better than the sofa and sometimes I take nap on it.

Head rubs, belly rubs or butt scratches?

All of the above. I follow my mom from room to room, meowing loudly until she stops to pet me. My sister, Lilly, loves belly rubs because her belly fur never grew back after she was spayed. Severus is the kinky one of the bunch. He likes to be spanked.

Final thoughts: Send my mom a request to her personal facebook page, because she’s always posting handsome pictures of me, talking about her books, and sharing images of those shredded cover models she photographs! There’s a link on her website.

Rakehell
Debra Glass
Historical / light bdsm

Back cover blurb:

Lady Primrose Black has a dilemma. Her father-in-law’s dying wish is that she reunite with her estranged husband and produce an heir. She hasn’t laid eyes on Lord Black since their wedding night five years ago, when he left Scarborough Hall in a rage.
Nevertheless, she resolves to find him, knowing once she does she will have to use every method at her disposal to entice the rake she never stopped loving.

Viscount Adam Black harbors dark needs and he will accept no less than his wife’s complete and utter surrender. Each sensual encounter leaves Primrose wanting more but as she submits to her husband’s every decadent desire, she resolves not to lose him again. For the secret that drove Adam away still haunts him. And this time it could prove fatal for them both.

Author Bio:

Growing up in the south where the air is thick with stories steeped in legend and truth, Debra came by her love of romance novels honestly. Well...sort of. At an early age, she pilfered from her grandmother's extensive library and has been a fan of the genre since.
A full time freelance writer, Debra especially enjoys combining history, mystery and a touch of taboo to weave stories with unforgettable, haunted heroes.
She lives in Alabama with her sexy real life hero, a couple of smart-aleck ghosts and a glaring of diabolical black cats.

Welcome to Mutt or Meow Monday!

It’s great to have you here today.

Please introduce yourself.
Call me Ginseng, a gentleman cat of a certain age. I enjoy eye contact and conversations with my human companion. Also, gravy. Sally and I met at a Humane Society event. She’d had a rough experience with an always-yelling Meezer and hadn’t planned to take home a cat so clearly Seal Point Siamese as I. Happily, I was able to persuade her otherwise.

Mutt or Meow Monday: Meet Chase & Yin, Chandra Ryan's Mutts

Welcome to Mutt or Meow Monday!

Mutt or Meow Monday is where we interview the author’s animal friends instead of interviewing the author. Let’s see what the animals have to say!

It’s great to have you here today.

Please introduce yourself.

My name is Yin and I’m a five-year-old terrier mix. The family is still pretty new to me. I only picked them out about four months ago. But I think I’ll keep them.

My name is Chase and I’m a fifteen-year-old whippet. Life was pretty good here until they decided I needed a friend. You need another dog to keep you company, they said. You’ll love it, they said.


Do you ever interrupt Chandra Ryan for attention when she’s trying to write? Does she stop and give you attention, brush you off, or bribe you with treats?

Yin: Interrupt? Me? Never! I’m a helpful dog. I lay on her arms to keep her warm and paw at the keyboard. She’s always going on about how many words she needs to write so I’m doing my part. And the sooner she gets those words in, the sooner she throws the ball. It’s not like the actual words matter. I’m sure her editor loves my contributions to the story.

Chase: She writes? Huh… Must be during my naptime. Though I don’t know why anyone would rather write than nap from 9am-6pm. Really. When does she get her extra nine hours of sleep in?

Does Chandra Ryan ever read her writing to you? Do you like it?

Chase: She mumbles and curses quite a bit during my naps? Does that count?

Yin: Of course it does. That’s her way of asking us for our insight. You should really help her out the way I do. She likes it.

What does Chandra Ryan do to celebrate when she finishes writing a book?

Chase: She gets a sweet treat from the store. Which is pretty awesome because she shares. Well, sometimes she shares. Leaving the container out on the countertop where I can reach it is sharing, right? I mean, she knows I can reach it.

Yin: Funny. I don’t remember any special treats. You wouldn’t be holding out on me by any chance would you, Chase?

What do you wish Chandra Ryan would do with her writing time instead of writing?

Yin: Love on me, of course. And really, I don’t know why she prefers typing away on that computer. What does it have that I don’t?

Chase: She really needs to catch up on her sleep. I’m concerned about her. Eight hours a night just isn’t enough.

What’s the best part about living with an author?

Yin: Since she works from home, she gets to spend her days with me.

Chase: With us! I was here first, you know.

Yin: Please, you didn’t even know she writes.

Chicken, bacon or cheese?

Yin and Chase in unison: Bacon? Did somebody say bacon!?!

Butt sniffin’, leg humpin’, fluffy toys?

Yin: Sounds like a good time to me.

Chase: I think we’re supposed to pick one of the three.

Yin: No. No one would be so mean as to make us choose between three of the greatest pleasures in the world!

Mutt or Meow Monday: Meet Smokey, Marcia James' Logo and Virtual Pet Mutt

Welcome to Mutt or Meow Monday!

Mutt or Meow Monday is where we interview the author’s animal friends instead of interviewing the author. Let’s see what the animals have to say!

It’s great to have you here today.

Please introduce yourself.
My name is Smokey, and I'm a Chinese crested hairless dog -- an unexpected choice for a DEA drug-sniffing dog.  That's why I can fool the bad guys when I go undercover!  When I'm not working with my DEA handler, I'm author Marcia James' logo and virtual pet.


What’s your favorite book by Marcia James and why?
I'm a little biased because I starred in Marcia's first book, At Her Command, a comic romantic suspense.  If not for me, I don't think DEA agent Domino Petracelli would have broken the drug-smuggling case at a D.C. sex club OR found her happily ever after with Detective Dalton Cutter.   Getting the two of them to trust each other and declare their love was tougher than sniffing out a gram of cocaine in a dirty baby diaper.

What’s your favorite scene that Marcia James has written you into?
I'm the inspiration for the Chinese crested dog Marcia has in each of her books.  (I'm like her Hitchcock, who appeared in almost all of his movies.)  My favorite scene in At Her Command is when I found the drugs the bad guys had hidden in the battery compartments of the sex club's vibrators.  Some crooks are so dumb!

What kind of scene do you wish Marcia James would write for you?
So far, I've always appeared alone in her books, and if I'm going to be a matchmaker for the heroes and heroines, I think I deserve my own HEA with a pretty little crestie female.  ;-)

What does Marcia James do to celebrate when she finishes writing a book?
She's big on wining-and-dining with her husband, but I'd prefer a few treats, a fire-warmed family room, and some female crestie companionship!

What's next for you, Smokey?
Marcia is writing a sequel to At Her Command, and I'll be working with a male FBI agent and a female police detective to bring down some more criminals.  But, of  course, I plan to do some matchmaking while I'm at it.  I'm just a romantic at heart...  Check out all of her books, which feature cresties.  If you love Christmas stories, I recommend Heating Up the Holidays.

Chicken, bacon or cheese?  Bacon, of course!  It's the first choice for any discerning dog.

Butt sniffin’, leg humpin’, fluffy toys?  I prefer fluffy toys, but they can't be too frou-frou.  My favorite toy is a gun chew toy that makes shooting noises when I bite it.

Final thoughts:

I'm a living example of the old adage: Don't judge a book by its cover.  (Although Marcia James' books have the cutest cresties on the covers!)  I was rescued from a shelter, and now I carry a badge -- attached to my collar.  I may only be 13 inches high and weigh 12 pounds, but I can hold my own against any of those big canine crimefighters.  So I guess my final thoughts would be,  if you're in the market for a new pet, please start at your local shelter.  Adopt a shelter dog or cat.  We're all special and waiting for love.  ;-)

Heating Up the Holidays
Marcia James
Comic contemporary romance.  

Back cover blurb:

Nicky Paxton is up to her pointed elf ears in work—filling in for a sick Santa’s helper, corralling kittens in a mechanical winter wonderland and running her family’s department store chain. With only 14 shopping days until Christmas, the last thing she needs is the return of her high school heart-breaker.

Lawyer and single dad Chris Spencer leaves the Los Angeles rat race to raise his five-year-old daughter, Holly, in his sleepy Virginia hometown. His first goal is to make sure Holly has a Christmas to remember. His carefully laid plans don’t include a second chance with his first love.

When Holly asks the store Santa for a “fairy pony puppy”, Chris enlists Nicky’s help to track down the elusive item. Despite Nicky’s resolve not to re-gift her heart to Chris, their sexual attraction could power the town’s holiday light display. With the help of mistletoe, a hairless dog and a lonely child, Chris and Nicky just might get their Christmas desires.

Author Bio:

Marcia James writes hot, humorous romances and finaled in eleven Romance Writers of America contests before selling her first comic romantic suspense, At Her Command.  In her eclectic career, she has shot submarine training videos, organized celebrity-filled nonprofit events and had her wedding covered by People Magazine. After years of dealing with such sexy topics as how to safely install traffic lights, she is enjoying “researching” and plotting her novels' steamy love scenes with her husband and hero of many years.
