Bella Street Romance Goes Retro

One fun thing about being a writer is guest posting or being featured on other blogs. It's a great way to meet like-minded, awesome-in-general people, who have the coolest blogs. And for readers, it's a fun way to win books! A month long event is at the brand new Authors of Main Street blog , featuring authors of indie fiction in several genres. We're doing a promotion for commenters to have a chance win a $100 Amazon gift card, and all the authors are giving away copies of their books. Ends April 30th so chop chop!  I'm also on a couple of blogs today, talking about romance, pixies, and Kiss Me, I'm Irish . Persephone's Winged Reviews and Sweet Not Spicy .

It's blogtastic!
