Bella Street Romance Goes Retro

WINNERS! Congrats to: Debby 236 (also winner of the $10 Amazon card) Zed K Jaime L Thanks so much to all who participated. Sign up for my email list so you never miss a giveaway :) Ah, romance. Is there ever too much in the world? I think not. But I would say that--being a romance writer and all :) To that end, let's celebrate the stuff of love. I'm giving away Kindle copies of my latest title to 3 randomly-selected entrants: Time Travel Goes Retro Modern day Nashville and 1950s Detroit clash worse than an IKEA futon and a plaid Barcalounger when a free-spirited interior designer and a strait-laced automotive engineer find themselves in another time. TOMS-wearing Olivia Haugen and Madras-shirted Kyle Daniels have no idea why they've ended up in 1954 Michigan, but it's probably not because of all the swank mid-century furnishings. Discovering the reason might have something to do with a wily salvage warehouse owner and her not-so-litt...

UPDATE: Congrats to Felicia R. for being randomly chosen to win the sunburst clock! Thanks to everyone else who participated, and if you haven't yet, sign up for my email list so you never miss another chance to win fun stuff. You know when something seemed like a good idea at the time? Well, readers of my blog know that the cover above is different from the original of this book's release a couple of weeks ago. To wit: Coming up with a book cover is always a tricky proposition, and while I liked the original at the time, I didn't LOVE it. So I had a new one made. And I didn't even need to go back in time to do it.  What do you think? Terrible mistake? Huge improvement? Love/hate 'em both? Leave a comment below (and sign up for my email list if you haven't already), and if you include your email address with your comment (for notification), I'll enter you in a fun contest for a chance to win this swank mid-century modern sunburst clo...

Since the 12/21/12 apocalypse is nigh, you might as well go out in style, right? And who knows, just maybe the Juicy Couture pink velour tracksuit will send you to an alternate universe, thereby giving you a way of escape from impending doom. A time-traveling Juicy suit?? What the heck? This might make a little sense if you've read Apocalypse Babes: The Complete Series . If you haven't, fie for shame! Six full length books available in a set for less than $5? Maybe such a deal is what's really bringing on the apocalypse. If you want to just take a peek at the story, the first book is free for a limited time. Speaking of limited, this is the last year the Juicy suit will be part of the Apocalypse Babes promotion. And you know how bad you want one of these! Check out last year's winner !  And while you're reading the series, imagine yourself in Seffy's shoes...er, her tracksuit. And trust me, you're going to need the soft, pink comfort of high end ...

Gothic Time-Travel Sci-Fi Romance...if that's a mouthful, how about Skiffy-Rom Goth-Com? There's just not an easy way to describe The Z Word .  The Z Word follows Seffy Carter and her longtime friends Gareth, Addison and Lani. The four besties share a past dysfunctional and dark enough to keep them bound together under do-over identities. But like off-brand velour, rends develop in their relationships from the flesh-eating pressures of ending up in 1980, in a Montana desert, surrounded by zombies wearing dated disco duds. Reviewers have used words like:  "The Scooby Gang in Zombieland " "Seriously wicked awesome" "A clusterpluck of craziness" "Alice in Wonderland gone wrong" "Not quite the worst I've read"   "Left me guessing and wanting more" "Part science fiction, part romance, part mystery, part fantasy, The Z Word is all entertainment " Wha...
