Sorry we have been out...This crazy weather has everything on the fritz. So, today we are hanging out with Vampires Anonymous. Yes, this is going to be fun! Here we go..<br />
<em><span style="color: red;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">AmBear</span></em>: <strong>Let's start by letting everyone know what
is Vampires Anonymous?</strong><br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kqKPYEm9djI/Uub_rXWUQfI/AAAAAAAACm8/eMc5_lOzj-A/s1600/1459816_483775455068438_12034361_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kqKPYEm9djI/Uub_rXWUQfI/AAAAAAAACm8/eMc5_lOzj-A/s1600/1459816_483775455068438_12034361_n.jpg" height="200" width="166" /></a><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: red;"><em>VA</em></span>: Vampires Anonymous is a
Facebook Like page where we share everything vampire related. It’s
a place for everyone apart of the vampire culture to gather and feel
at home. We love all of our fans and we try our best to post
everything and anything that they might be interested in, as long as
its vampire related of course. We post things from styles to jewelry
to make-up and costumes, as well as beautiful art and pictures from
movies. We even go the extra mile and post historic folklore/legends
of vampires from all over the world and the history of them. We’re
also getting into posting vampire themed books now which has been
very very
exciting.</span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vampires-Anonymous/270523359726983?ref=hl"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u>https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vampires-Anonymous/270523359726983?ref=hl</u></span></span></a><br />
<br />
<em>I love this page! If you haven't given it a like, please do so!</em><br />
<b></b><br />
<span style="color: red;"><em>AmBear</em></span><strong>: How did you get started?</strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"><em><span style="color: red;">VA</span></em>: August 5</span><span style="color: black;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="color: black;">
2012. Our page was created because the creator has a strange
taste/obsession for blood and wanted to share it with the world. Our
lovely Admin Marceline has been a doll; she’s the only real reason
the page has gotten to where it is today. She’s the one who reviews
all the important stuff on the page as well as the book reviews we
get to post! <br />~.:Marceline: Awww<3 love you guys!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="western">
<br /><span style="color: red;"><em>AmBear</em></span><strong>: Who is your favorite Vampire? </strong></div>
<span style="color: black;"><em><span style="color: red;">VA</span></em>: In the Vampire world the
person Vampires Anonymous swoons over is the vampire Lestat. Famously
known from Ann Rice’s novels 1 famously known as </span><span style="color: black;"><i>“Interview
with a Vampire”</i></span><span style="color: black;"> and from the
movie, </span><span style="color: black;"><i>“Queen of the Damned”,
</i></span><span style="color: black;">Stuart Townsend plays him
exceptionally well<3. There’s just something about a vampire
rock star that just has gets to us!</span><br />
<br />
<em>One of my faves as well. Can we say, Tasty!</em><br />
<b></b><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">AmBear</span></em><strong>: What is the one thing about Vampires that
makes you love them so much?</strong><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">VA</span></em>: This is a hard one for us here at Vampires
Anonymous. We can’t just sum up 1 exact reason why we love
vampires. Maybe it’s because of their mysteriousness, all that
power in such a delicate form, or that longing look in their eyes,
one searching for a companion to share eternity with. Who knows it
could be their insatiable need to drink blood and their fangs that
draw us to them. Still their beauty knows no bounds and it is
distinctively the reason as to why so many people including us here
at VA are drawn to them, however we would to have to say that it is
their charming charismatic personalities that makes us love them so
much.<br />
<br />
<div class="western">
~bloodsquirt~ <i>“one does not simply name one
reason for liking vampires, as there are a plethora of reasons within
a single reason.” </i>
</div>
<b></b><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">AmBear</span></em><strong>: Do the lovelies at VA have a favorite
author?</strong><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">VA</span></em>: Well our wonderful Admin, Marceline is always
calling our fans her “lovelies” which makes them sound like
either her food source or her children which can be a bit amusing at
times. BUT! In all honesty it is hard to say who our fans favor, we
post many things but we hardly get many likes on those posts, which
makes us VERY sad at times. So even if our fans do have a favorite
author we wouldn’t really know the answer. <br />
<br />
<em>It is hard to pick a favorite even for me, as there are so many great authors out there.</em>
<br />
<b></b><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">AmBear</span></em><strong>: What is the one thing about VA that makes
it unique?</strong><br />
<span style="color: red;"><em>VA</em></span>: We stick to our sources and we don’t go
around asking people to share our page. People usually find us and we
don’t really use provocative photos to boost the likes we get. We
keep it simple, classy, and informative. We also make some of the
things we post, like collages of certain vampire paraphernalia. We
don’t just post about art or post pictures of just anything! We
keep it all vampire related. Even though we do that, there are still
TONS of things to post! <br />
<br />
<em>It is a great page!</em>
<br />
<b></b><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">AmBear</span></em><strong>: If you could be a Vampire for one day,
what is the one thing you feed on?</strong><br />
<b><em><span style="color: red;">VA</span></em>: </b>*Laughs* that is something we try to do
every day. Many of our Administrators identify themselves as real
vampires, but not like the ones you would normally see depicted in
movies or in books. It is just simply how they live their lives. If
we could be vampires for one day the number one thing we would feed
off of would be blood. There’s just something about it, you know?
Especially the way they show vampires drinking it in movies and TV
shows today. It just makes your heart race!<br />
<br />
<em>Tasty!</em><b> </b><br />
<b></b><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">AmBear</span></em><strong>: Let's say you could choose one book to
make into a movie, what would it be?</strong><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">VA</span></em>: Well there are a lot of vampire books out
there that we would LOVE to see be turned into movies, for example,
<i>“Dark Lover”</i> by JR Ward<i>. </i>That would be an
interesting movie if it were made. The fight scenes and the vampire
world that exist in that book, WHOO! Absolutely outstanding!<br />
<br />
<em>Oh, that is a good one!</em><br />
<b></b><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">AmBear</span></em><strong>: Does VA have a book boyfriend crush?</strong><br />
<span style="color: red;"><em>VA</em></span>: YES! Who do we not have a crush on? *Laughs.*
We love Lestat from Ann Rice’s novels and we love Damon Salvatore
from <i>“The Vampire Diaries”.</i> Honestly Lestat will just be
the greatest vampire of all time to many of us here at VA. However,
Damon Salvatore is an amazing character. He is so dynamic and the way
he does things, expresses himself and holds true to his vampire
nature, along with the longing and loneliness he has is something we
think that everyone can connect to. It’s true, when you’re a
vampire you’re not human anymore, you’re different and you have
certain urges. A few of us here at VA truly believe that if vampires
were real and a human became one, their emotions would be felt ten
times more than they would have felt them as a human and that is the
beauty of it, as well as why we love Damon Salvatore so damn much.<3<br />
<br />
<em>Damon is soooo YUMMY! That is the only reason I still even watch that show :) Gotta have my Damon fix!</em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: red;">AmBear:</span></em><strong> You throw a dinner party for a group of
Vampires who feed on something other than blood, what do you serve
and what entertainment do you plan?</strong><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">VA</span></em>: Well that is a hard one, since blood is the main food source for
a vampire, but since blood is off the menu we’d have to serve
something that acts as a blood substitute like blood beats or some
sort of fruit/vegetable. Either that or we serve up Life energy that
belongs to humans, which might be harder to obtain. We’d have to
serve something! We can’t just let our guests starve, that would be
inhumane *giggles*. The entertainment we would plan would probably
be a few instrumental musicians to start off the evening. Very dark
and sad, perhaps even goth or Victorian sounding piano songs and
violin numbers throughout the night, not all played one after the
other of course. We’d also plan some alternative rock music and the
genre commonly referred to as Screamo, where people use screams in a
musical way, which is professionally called <i>“Distortion Vocals.”
</i>This type of music is very popular and an example of a band that
makes this sort of music is known as <i>“Pierce The Veil.”</i>
Most of the entertainment would be music that is produced by Fearless
Records and Rise Records. The other entertainment we might have
planned for the evening would most likely be some sort of play, since
the creator loves Shakespeare and musicals. Perhaps even a few of our
Administrators would love to put on the show for our guests, as long
as it is what they want.<br />
<br />
<em>Awesome. That's a great answer.</em> <em>Love it.</em><br />

Today we have the awesome and lovely, Book Boyfriend Reviews and this is going to be great! I have some really good, hard Questions for them. Let's see how they do, shall we?</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: What is Book Boyfriends reviews? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">BBR:</span> Book
boyfriend reviews is a blog where we read and review books. We read
paranormal, erotica, comtemporary romance, young adult, new adult..
pretty much anything we want.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">Love that! You guys are awesome...If anyone of you haven't stopped by please do. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: Does BBR have
a fav hottie they swoon over? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">BBR</span>: Asking
us this is like asking us to pick a favorite child. It’s just not
doable. Last time we tried to pick a favorite, we ended up with our
top 20. So..as you can tell. We can’t pick just one. Here, check
out our favorites. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: blue;"><u><a href="http://bookboyfriendreview.blogspot.com/2013/12/our-top-20-for-2013.html" target="_top">http://bookboyfriendreview.blogspot.com/2013/12/our-top-20-for-2013.html</a></u></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<u><span style="color: blue;"></span></u> </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Certege;">These are some handsome hotties...I know a few of these. Swoon worthy indeed!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<u><span style="color: blue;"></span></u> </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: When and why
was BBR founded?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">BBR</span>: BBR
was founded Dec 31 of last year. Can you believe it, we just turned
1! Sandie founded BBR because of her love for books and indie
authors. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">Awesome, Happy Birthday!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: What was BBR
fav review of 2013?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">BBR:</span> Oh
god, you’re asking the impossible again. There are so many that we
loved. So many awesome books came out this year. We can’t pick just
one. The same thing happened with books as did with the book
boyfriends, we were able to narrow it down to…20.. lol . We can’t
pick just one!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">There were ALOT of great "OMG, I can't put this book down" books in 2013. Based on what I have seen so far, 2014 is going to be no different. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: Many of us
authors travel to many places to meet bloggers, readers and fans,
are we going to see BBR at any conventions in 2014?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">BBR</span>: We
are trying to ALL be at Book Bash in June in Orlando. Trying is the
key word. We are from different areas of the country, so you can
catch any one of us at some events. Sandie is in CA, so she will be
going to events in and around LA. Dee is from OH and she is planning
on going to Cleveland, Cincinnati, Louisville, and maybe WV too.
Shannon is from GA and she is trying to attend New Orleans in Feb. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">That's wonderful. Check your calendars, and come out to these events and meet these awesome ladies. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: Fans love
goodies and giveaways, does BBR have any coming up anytime soon and
what is up for grabs?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">BBR</span>: We
have a multi-blog blogaversary big giveaway coming up. It will have
swag, signed paperbacks, and ebooks. All the good stuff!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">That's a good giveaway! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: What was the
coolest thing BBR has ever won and received?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">BBR</span>: Sandie
won the Liebster Award in 2013. That is pretty cool. But really, any
time an author or reader says they love our reviews or gives us a
shout out in any way it makes us feel really awesome and we love it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">Congrats on the Award, Sandie. I know how you feel, every time I get a message or comment from people, book related or not, It always feels like a win. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: Who does BBR
fangirl over the most and why? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">BBR</span>: O</span><span style="font-family: Certege;">h
man.. who don’t we fan girl over? There are so many incredible
authors, so we don’t just fangirl over one, we fangirl over them
all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">I know right? someone asked me that too and I said the same thing. It is like trying to choose a favorite child. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBar: A Lot of books
have been turned into movies and Tv shows, is there one you loved?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">BBR</span>: Hmmmm….
Hollywood hasn’t really lived up to our expectations with the book
to movie adaptations. Of course, we loved the Twilight series, well
the later movies…Twilight itself was … umm… yeah. and Hunger
Games. Those movies are amazing. Percy Jackson was good. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">I hear ya, some are good and some are...'take that back to drawing board, it sux...my favorite has to be The Notebook.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: Describe BBR
using a book title or Describe BBR in 3 words. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">BBR</span>: </span><span style="font-family: Certege;">Oh
man.. wait that doesn’t count!!! Okay.. ummm….</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">"REAL."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">Yup! That's true. Love you ladies. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">Well, that is all the time we have today. I hope you enjoyed watching these ladies squirm under the spotlight. Join us tomorrow for another edition of Switch UP and have a great week. </span><br />

Today we have my Awesome P.A. Jessica, who I just love and adore. :) I am sure you will too. So, lets turn on the spotlight and get this going, I am excited to introduce her to you. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>AmBear: Who is Jessica in three words?<br /><span style="color: red;">Jessica</span>: Fun. Loving. Adventurous. </em><br />
<br />

Or all of the above?<br /><span style="color: red;">Jessica: </span>Yes all the above. I have pages also.</em><br />
<em>Our new generation for reading ---> </em><a href="http://jessica13bridgers.blogspot.com/"><em>http://jessica13bridgers.blogspot.com/</em></a><em> </em><br />
<em>Many Authors Little Time FB GRP -- </em><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/love4indieauthors/"><em>https://www.facebook.com/groups/love4indieauthors/</em></a><br />

I know, I see her Superwoman cape too :) </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>AmBear: How did you get into doing blogging/beta reading etc?<br />Jessica: So many great authors are self-published and they need help from their fans. I am a fan, so it is a way to tell the amazing indie-authors, Thank You. For letting me be apart of their dreams.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Let me tell you, we, authors love you right back. If any of you are not friends with Jessica, you should be. She is so sweet. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>AmBear: What book/series would you like to see put on the big screen or in a TV show?<br />Jessica: Gosh, I don’t know! There are so many I would like to see on the big screen, but the one that comes to mind first is Species Intervention #6609 by J.K. Accinni. Just because her scenes in the book are so descriptive I would love to see them in action.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>I will have to check that one out. Sounds interesting. </em><br />
<em>AmBear: Do you have a favorite book boyfriend? What makes him stand out above the rest?<br />Jessica: I have 800 some odd authors on my page and you want me to pick “A” meaning one book boyfriend! Well, if I have to pick I would say, Sebastian in “The RockNRoll Paraphantasy series by AmBear Shellea. I choose him because he is a Vampire for one. He’s so mysterious and cocky. Sebastian is so smooth and smart. He’s the glue that holds everyone, everything together. Without his character, the other characters would be lost.</em><br />

Summer Again outside suntanning and reading or solving a crossword puzzle. . Fall/Winter I’m trying to keep the pounds off with Wii games that get your heart pumping. It’s something to do with the kids.</em><br />

Tell us a bot about it. <br />Jessica: Yes I have cat. Cats have always been my favorite. We adopted him, Orange Domestic Shorthair Tabby, from SPCA through PetSmart. They named him Orange Crush. He was already about 5/6 months. He choose my husband who is not fond of cats. Of course the cat won his heart. We renamed him Kie-Kie. It was easier to call him.

Got the AmBear/Ambers in the house!! Today we are here with my good friend and just plain Awesomeness, Lady Amber, from Lady Amber's Reviews and Tours. If you haven't connected with her before, do so now! You will not regret it. :) So, Let's get to the good stuff. <br />
<br />
<em>AmBear: What does Lady Amber's Reviews/Tours do exactly and how long have you been doing it?</em><br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1ON9lgHnmns/UsDIy1gxXxI/AAAAAAAACkc/jT8WgZ8i17w/s1600/1461717_396543663810941_1381733255_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1ON9lgHnmns/UsDIy1gxXxI/AAAAAAAACkc/jT8WgZ8i17w/s200/1461717_396543663810941_1381733255_n.jpg" width="200" /></a><em><span style="color: red;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Amber</span>: I have been blogging and doing reviews for about 2 years and in 2013 I branched out and started to host release & promo parties to help authors get more recognition for them as an author and their books. I have even started a tour company as well and recruit bloggers to review and promote authors on their blogs.</em><br />

<em></em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>AmBear:Name the biggest reason you got into Review/tours. </em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Amber</span>: I love to read, it is and always has been my escape. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>AmBear: Does Lady Amber help many authors? </em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Amber</span>: I like to believe so. I try to help everyone who asks. I may not always be able to do a review but I try to do some type of promo or share links when I can. I have and am a PA for several authors and try my best to make sure everyone gets the recognition they deserve. </em><br />

<br />
<em>AmBear: So, I hear that you have some badass bloggers, what is the one thing you look for should any bloggers who read this want to join you.</em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Amber</span>: I do!! They are all amazing but the biggest thing that I look for is Dedication! I want bloggers who sign up for a tour and be able to post on time. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>AmBear: What makes Lady Amber so different from other tour/review groups?</em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Amber</span>: I like to think the biggest difference is that I know most of my bloggers and talk to them on a daily basis. I hate it when I tour for another company and I feel like I’m working with strangers or if I send them a message it either takes forever to hear back or you don’t hear anything at all. I look at my bloggers as my friends, I love them all and have come to know and care for each one of them. I like to believe I have one of the most amazing tour groups out there not because of me but because of those who blog for me. They are just phenomenal. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>AmBear: Does Lady Amber have any other noteworthy ventures going on? </em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Amber</span>: Yes!!! Lady Amber has now teamed up with a few other authors, Emma Michaels, Amy Lignor and Tanya Contois. We have started a publishing company called Hallowed Ink Press. I am so excited about this because the ladies that I am working with on this are amazing and I think we are going to go far. We have had so many amazing authors who have submitted or inquired already.</em><br />
<em> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/hallowedinkpress">https://www.facebook.com/#!/hallowedinkpress</a> </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>AmBear: So when Lady Amber is “off the clock” what does she like to do? </em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Amber</span>: I’m pretty boring but I have to say reading and spending time with my family. I have two girls who are just full of life and are always making me </em><em>laugh and smile. I love them with all my heart and just don’t know what I would do without them, even if they think I’m a bit of a nerd lol </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>AmBear: Does Lady Amber have a favorite Author or Genre? </em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Amber</span>: My favorite genre here lately has been New Adult but I read just about anything that catches my attention. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>AmBear: What books can be found on Lady Amber's bookshelf? </em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Amber</span>: OMG I have too many to name but rest assured yours are on it and looking might pretty if I might say so myself. My faves though are prolly the signed copies of Divergent and Insurgent!</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em></em> <em>Aww, how sweet. :)</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>AmBear: Lady Amber's Reviews/Tours had a pretty successful 2013, what is in the works for 2014? </em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Amber</span>: 2013 was amazing! Not sure if I can top that but I’m sure’s heck gonna try! I did a few blog hops and I would love to do more of those and other community involvement events this year. I have teamed up with Release Day Diva a few times and did a couple of different things and I think we can see more of that in the future. I admire the different events they do at YATR and would love to be able to implement some of them. Anything to help promote authors and bloggers. I am also hoping to release my book this year as well, but I have been keeping that on the down low. Only a few really know what it’s about or have read pieces of it. I’m really scared and excited for everyone to read it.</em><br />

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Certege;"><span class="ecxtab"><span class="ecxtab"><span style="color: black;">AmBear: T</span></span></span></span><span style="color: red; font-family: Certege;"><span class="ecxtab"><span class="ecxtab"><span style="color: black;">hats a cool job. It's is always nice to see kind people doing just heart giving work. I am sure the ones you take care of are very thankful. </span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Certege;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: Do
you blog, beta read, review, a street team member? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">Colleen</span>: I have a blog <a href="http://pamaceeve.wordpress.com/">http://pamaceeve.wordpress.com/</a> <span class="ecxtab">I have a facebook page Colleen's books and review blog <a href="https://www.facebook.com/colleeneverly71">https://www.facebook.com/colleeneverly71</a> <span class="ecxtab">I do reviews. I tend to keep them short but I do state my opinion . <span class="ecxtab">I am on 18 street teams.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span class="ecxtab"><span class="ecxtab"><span class="ecxtab"></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span class="ecxtab"><span class="ecxtab"><span class="ecxtab">AmBear: Whew, you are quite the busy woman. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Certege;"><span class="ecxtab"><span class="ecxtab"><span class="ecxtab">One of the street teams she is on is mine and let me tell you, she is awesome. :) </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span class="ecxtab"><span class="ecxtab"><span class="ecxtab"></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span class="ecxtab"><span class="ecxtab"><span class="ecxtab">AmBear: Next question. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Certege;">What
is the one thing you like the most about blogging, reviewing, beta
reading, being on a street team?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><em><span style="color: red;">Colleen:</span> </em>The thing I like most about blogging reviewing and street teaming is all the people I get to meet and talk to virtually (of course.) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear; Same here. I love meeting new people. I swear I have talked more about books I have read since I have become an author than I did when I just read. :) It's awesome. I love to hear what people get out the same book. sometimes it's not always the same thing, that's when the convo gets interesting. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: Do
you have an all time favorite Author? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">Colleen</span>: </span><em>I have many favorite authors, too many to list. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: I think we can all relate to that. :)</span><br />
<br />
<em>AmBear: </em><span style="font-family: Certege;">If
you were given the opportunity to meet one author, who would it be
and what would be the one question you would ask them? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">Colleen:</span> I don't know if I'd want to meet any of my favorite authors I would probably go all fan girl on them and freak them out. LOL. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear; I know right? I am sure if I ever got to the chance to meet Terry Goodkind, I would totally make an idiot out of myself. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: Do
you have a favorite Genre? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">Colleen:</span> My favorite genre is paranormal romance / erotica </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: No wonder you like my street team, I write just up your alley. Now who's fangirling? :) Oh yea, a nice little tidbit about Collen, she was "fanged by Sebastian" and she liked it. :) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: </span><span style="font-family: Certege;">What
do you love most about reading? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">Colleen</span>: What I love most about reading is all the places I get to read about.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">Always a new place to explore when you open a book. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: When
you are having Colleen time, where can you be found and what will
you be doing? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">Colleen</span>: I can be found on my sofa with a glass of wine and a book.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">Oh, sounds relaxing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: Say
you could escape anywhere, real or fictional, where would you go? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">Colleen</span>: I have always wanted to go to Scotland and/or Ireland I would love to see the castles. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">Same here! I am still waiting on my ticket for 9 3/4 so I can check out Hogwarts :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: What
genre is stocked the most on your bookshelf and in your
Kindle/Nook/Reader? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><em><span style="color: red;">Colleen</span></em>: The genre that takes up my bookshelves and kindle is paranormal romances. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">Well, that is all the time we have for today. Thank you Colleen for joining me, I have had a great time talking to you, as always.

Today we have quite the treat for you. In the spotlight, we have Kari and Cara form the Book Whore's Obsession FB Page. I think they are lovely and I think you will too. Whoo Hoo! Let's get this goin'!<br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: Tell
us What a Book Whore's Obsession does and how it works.</span><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Kari</span></em>: <em>A Book Whores Obsession is a Facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/messages/100004054806643#!/AbkwhrsO">https://www.facebook.com/messages/100004054806643#!/AbkwhrsO</a> ~ </em><br />

<em>and a blog page ~ <a href="http://bookwhores.weebly.com/">http://bookwhores.weebly.com/</a> that work hand-in-hand. </em><em>We give readers glimpses of book boyfriends on our Facebook page and then a more in-depth look at them on our blog page. Our focus through it all is the ‘book boyfriend’ aspect of the book world! </em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Cara</span>: Our Facebook page posts links to books, sales, giveaways, author pages and more. We love fan interaction, so we have “Questions of the Day”, post polls frequently, and play games. </em><br />
<em>Our blog page participates in blog tours and cover reveals and, of course, we post our book boyfriend reviews there. One cool feature of our blog is that you can search our reviews by ‘book boyfriend quality’. Let’s say that you are looking for new book to read about a hot businessman. Go to our blog, scroll to the bottom, and click on “businessman”. You will get a list of all of the businessmen we have reviewed with links to the actual review, so you can see what we had to say! It’s like having a best friend with tons of book knowledge right there, helping you pick out a new book boyfriend!</em> <br />
<br />
<em>Oh, sounds kickass! That's a pretty in depth set up. I, for one, will be checking that out!</em><br />
<br />
AmBear: <span style="font-family: Certege;">What
can authors, readers and fans be sure to find when visiting your
page?</span><br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p62MetQRag4/UsIplRLcTeI/AAAAAAAAClQ/pe4wP6zbHlc/s1600/Untitled-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p62MetQRag4/UsIplRLcTeI/AAAAAAAAClQ/pe4wP6zbHlc/s200/Untitled-2.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="color: red;">Kari</span>: <em>You can find so much on our page! Our Facebook page has a plethora of information beneath our banner! There are links to book release dates, our cafepress store (tons of great book whore loot there, ladies! <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/abookwhoresobsession">http://www.cafepress.com/abookwhoresobsession</a> , our Amazon store (where we filtered Amazon’s million book links to show only our favorites for you!), as well as our photo albums. You should definitely check those out – it’s like ‘window shopping for your next book boyfriend’. We have done a million quote pics in the last 10 months and have saved them by book. So if you hear about a new book, head over to our Facebook page. Go to our photo albums, find the book, and then get a visual on the book boyfriend and see if it is something that literally LOOKS good. ;)</em><br />
<br />
<em>Lovin' these shirts on your Cafepress page! Awesome. "Book Whore" on pink glow? I think so, yes!</em><br />
<br />
<em>AmBear</em>: <span style="font-family: Certege;">Do
you host contests and giveaways full of goodies?</span><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Kari</span></em>: <em>We are always giving away something – ebooks, bookmarks, and loot from author signings! We try to make it super simple to enter our contests!</em> <br />
<br />
<em>There ya go, readers, another place to enter and win!</em><br />
<br />
<em>AmBear</em>:
<span style="font-family: Certege;">What
made you decide to start your page?</span><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Cara</span></em>: <em> Kari & I met on a book page at the end of 2011. We always liked the same things and found ourselves commenting on the same threads and ended up ‘friending’ each other. We share a passion for Cam Gigandet as Travis Maddox – that is what actually brought us together! </em><br />
<em>Kari sent me a message one day and was like, ‘Hey! Let’s start a page for Cam as Travis!’. So we did. Then we noticed that there wasn’t a blog page that really focused on the book boyfriend aspect of the book world and, as they say, A Book Whores Obsession was born on March 6, 2012. It has been a wild and fun year for us and we can’t wait to head into the next one!</em> <br />
<br />
<em>That's great! I love discussing book boyfriends with my bestie too!</em><br />
<br />
<em><strong>AmBear</strong></em>:
<span style="font-family: Certege;">What
is your favorite part about running such a successful page?</span><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Kari</span></em>: <em>First of all, thank you for saying it is successful! Numbers do not necessarily translate into success – it is the perception by the ladies on it and the ‘feel’ of it that determines success. So it makes us smile that you think it qualifies! </em><em>Our favorite part is the camaraderie of the ladies on our page. They really are the best! We are proud that our page is a positive, drama-free, friendly place to be – and that’s because of the people on it! They interact with each other, play our silly games, vote in our polls, and help each other find a book. </em><br />
<em><span style="color: black;"><strong>AmBear</strong></span>: I have to say, I love the Drama-free aspect of your page too. Everyone is excited about the books but they all act like adults. It is so refreshing. </em><br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Cara</span>: When I log on and see someone has posted ‘I read this book once about a girl and a guy in college’ and 60 people have responded in 20 minutes saying, ‘is it this one?’ – those are my favorite moments. Annnnd when people send me pics of Cam Gigandet or Dan Conn because they know I love them! I have a penchant for those moments, too! ;) ) </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>See, these ladies are awesome. </em><br />
<br />
<em>AmBear</em>:
<span style="font-family: Certege;">Does
your page have a favorite page you visit often?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">Kari:</span> Do we have favorite pages? Of course! We support lots of other blogs and we stalk author pages religiously! ;) SchmexyGirls, The Book Vamps, and Book Addict Mumma are just a couple pages that we follow! There are so many great ones out there, though – we have so many that we love! </span><br />
<em>AmBear: I love those pages too.</em> :)<br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: <span style="font-family: Certege;">What
genre is loved the most by your page?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">Kari</span>: Contemporary romance is probably the favorite sub-genre of our page. However, we are noticing an upswing in the popularity and support of the romantic comedy books. Authors like Tara Sivec, Alice Clayton, and newbie Zack Love are really getting a lot of chatter on our page – we are getting lots of messages about these type of books and things like, “I just finished Seduction & Snacks by Tara Sivec – what do I read NOW!?”. There’s also a rise in interest in books from the male POV. Of course, as many love them as hate them, so it really is a fine line. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear; I don't think I have read any of these authors. I will have to check them out. Cara, how about you?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">Cara</span>: Personally, I think it totally depends on the author and the character. I’ve seen them done amazingly well, then I’ve seen them done where more harm was done than good. Writing a great male POV just can’t honestly be done by everyone. *shrugs* </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">That's true. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: <span style="font-family: Certege;">Book
whores love to read many different things, what is your pages most
loved type of read?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">Kari:</span> What is our page’s favorite type of read? Let’s see….. The bad boy businessmen and the fighters seem to hold a special place in the hearts of our page. LOL </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">Cara</span>: It’s the whole ‘flawed bad boy’ thing, I think. It is the Travis Maddox, Colton Donavan, Gavin Blake and Jesse Ward type of guys that make our fans crazy. And us, too. (Hush, Kari!) I’m sorry, Kari is reminding me that I forgot Kellan Kyle. *rolls eyes* LOL</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;">AmBear: Anyone else some to mind? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Certege;"><span style="color: red;">Kari:</span> Oh! And Christian Grey. Doesn’t it always go back to him? He really is the ‘book boyfriend measuring stick’. <span style="color: red;">Cara</span>: I read somewhere once, “On a scale of 1 – Christian Grey, how good was he?” and I think that is absolutely true! LOL <br />
AmBear; Yes, I have noticed that too... The Christian Scale. :)<br />
<br />
AmBear: If the Book Whore's Obsession could meet any author, who would it be and why?
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Kari</span>: You want us to pick ONE author?! Are you crazy? <br />
AmBear: Yes, but inquiting minds want to know.... :) I was asked this same question. It is nerve racking but at the same time, I am always amazed by the answers. I have found new authors by asking this question. So...<br />
<span style="color: red;">Cara</span>: I feel so ‘on the spot’! LOL I don’t know, really – and I’m not just saying that! K Bromberg would be incredible to meet! Colton Donavan & Beckett Daniels (my book husband!) are two of my favorites and her Driven Group is just phenomenal! She is so involved with her fans, so I feel like I kinda know her. In my little fantasy world, it would be like meeting an old friend when, it reality, I’ve never met her! LOL So that may or may not work out. ;) I also adore Lauren Blakely – like ADORE! I would love to meet her. I imagine her just like McKenna in Trophy Husband, so I’d love to see if that is true. Oh! And Jodi Ellen Malpas – the lady that created The Lord of the Manor. When she confirmed our “Sunday Sitdown”, I flailed like a muppet. I was going crazy! So maybe I shouldn’t meet her, now that I think about it. That could be embarrassing….. <br />
<span style="color: red;">Kari</span> : I would love to meet the authors of my favorite book boyfriends! SC Stephens would be first, since Kellan Kyle is my all-time favorite! Did you all read the Thoughtless Trilogy!? I mean – WOW! J. Sterling is one of my favorite authors and not just because she wrote Jack F’n Carter. She is funny, smart, witty, and seems like a genuinely “real” person, so she makes the list for a few reasons! J Raine Miller, Colleen Hoover, M. Leighton – I’d die if I got to meet any of them! <br />
<br />
OKay, readers, i think it is obvious we all need to check out this Kellan Kyle. He seems like pretty hot stuff!<br />
<br />
AmBear:
What can we expect to see from Book Whore's Obsession in 2014?<span style="font-family: Certege;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red;">Kari</span>: We have tons of fun things planned for the coming year! You will see the same things that we’ve done this past year, including our Thursday “Meet the Author” events and our Sunday Sitdowns <br />
(starting at 8pm EST). We’ve just posted the Sunday line-up and can we just say that we are soooo excited and totally fan girled! <br />
AmBear: Fan girled? Oh, we need to check this out. If it is fangirl worthy then it needs checking into. <br />
<span style="color: red;">Kari:</span> We are expanding our blog tour packages (check out the blog for pricing and information) and really trying to help put together things that help authors get their books out there to readers and helps readers hear about the new books. In today’s world, so many books come out each day. We love highlighting the books and authors we love. <br />
<span style="color: red;">Cara</span>: Kari has created K23 Design and she has been rocking out these book covers and custom quote pics for authors, too! Her Facebook page is amazing. That is definitely something you’ll be seeing more of in 2014! <br />
Oh! We’ve just started a book club! We let our fans vote on the book and they selected “All The Pretty Lies” by M. Leighton. You have until the end of January to read it and then the author will be dropping by our page (and a time and date to be determined) to discuss the book with everyone! We are very excited about this new feature and can’t wait to explore new books along with our fans this year! <br />
<br />
Oh, thats sound like a lot of fun.<br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: red;">Cara: </span></em>We have some things up our sleeves, too – we can’t spill all the secrets in one interview though. There are some amazing things that will be debuting soon! (Kari won’t let me tell you everything. I am awful about keeping secrets! (whispers to Kari ) ‘Can I bring up that ONE thing?’ (Kari nods and gets all embarrassed) <br />
And Kari is writing a book, Promise Me Always, that is coming out in February! Yay! *claps* Y’all are gonna love Blake! Like L-O-V-E! Go check her out (she just might have the entire first chapter on her FB page, but you didn’t hear that from me!) – <a href="http://www.facebook.com/karimarchauthor">www.facebook.com/karimarchauthor</a>. <br />
<br />
Another page to check out and like. These ladies are full of surprises. :)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Kari</span>: We just want to thank you for having us over! It is kinda strange having the tables turned on us, we won’t lie! LOL <br />
AmBear; Aww, thank you ladies. I have had a wonderful time having you here. I knew it would be a great time. <br />
<span style="color: red;">Cara</span>: Seriously, thank you for thinking of us and thank you to everyone that has supported us through this year! We never, ever, ever expected to reach 2,000 – let alone 14,000 LIKES in less than a year! It amazes us that people actually want to hear our opinion on anything! LOL We understand that there are hundreds of book blogs out there, so we truly appreciate each and every LIKE that we get. <br />
*hugs all around*<br />
<br />
Ok, readers if you haven't yet, please stop by and give these ladies FB page a like and if you can become a follower of thier blog. They are pretty awesome, as you can see and a whole lotta fun. <br />
be sure to stop by tomorrow for more Switch up Fun! :) <br />

<em>Hey Lovelies, welcome to the Switch Up Tour. Here we are doing things a bit different. You have blog hopped and read, commented and been part of Author Interviews, you know how it goes: Bloggers grill the authors and ask the questions the readers want to know. Well, the Switch Up Tour, is bass ackwards. I, the Author am putting the bloggers, beta readers, page admins, street team members and reviewers in the hotseat. I have met some very awesome people since starting my author journey and because I love them so much, I want YOU to meet some of these ladies of Coolness! I am sure that by the end of January, you will have found some new friends, just as I have done these past two years. Now, tossing the spotlight onto the wonderful awesome pimp queen and just plain kick ass friend, Jeanette Joyal whom I love to pieces! :)</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>Okay, I'm done for the moment with the mushy stuff, onto the interview...</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>AmBear: Tell us a little about Jeanette and what makes her tick.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;">Jeanette</span>: Well I was born in Brooklyn NY, yep a NYC Girl. I then grew up in Upstate NY, not far from the Canadian Border. I met and married a wonderful Man then Moved to North Carolina where we raised five beautiful children together. Now we are blessed with six precious Granddaughters which four of them I watch one a daily bases so their parents can work. </em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em></em> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>That's awesome. :) </em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>AmBear: So, let us know who you are; A blogger, a beta reader, reviewer, tour host, reviewer, page admin or all of the above?</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;">Jeanette</span>:I am a beta reader and a reviewer and a PA. Each is fulfilling and a joy. It is such an honor in itself for an Author to entrust you with their work and value your opinion but to get work with the Author’s on a personal level, well that is an experience like no other. </em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em></em> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>Well, you are pretty awesome...and busy it looks like. </em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>AmBear: Do you have a regular group/author you beta read/blog/review for?</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;">Jeanette</span>: Yes I do, CHBB Publications. I really love all the folks there from the moment I first met them, back when I first joined their street teams. They were all kind, loving and warm and such an incredible family, yes I do mean family. They all have become an important part of my life from the owner SJ Davis, who is an incredible Woman that has a heart of gold and never cease to amaze me. There is also JacquieTalento who is the hardest working lady I know and always is there for anyone day or night with her words of wisdom and loving nature, I cherish her friendship and hold her dear to my heart. All the Authors have such talent, passion and love not only writing but for the fans. I can’t get over how each and every one of them is always helping each other with whatever needs to be done. However,the thing that really touches my heart is their generosity which has no limits nor does the compassion in their hearts. Last but not least is the street team members, they are amazing!! Each and every one of them is always on board sharing all the wonderful books so other can enjoy them as much as they do. These qualities that make them a unique team. I truly feel blessed to be a part of this elite Publishing house.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

#onehouseunited indeed ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>AmBear: If you could meet any author who would it be and why ?</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;">Jeanette</span>: LOL!! Well, there is so many, but one does stand out. Karen Marie Moning. I think she is an incredible Author who has such a way with words. Her story telling style is what set her aside from a lot of Authors. The Fever series is actually my Favorite of hers. I love her unique take on the Fae. It isn’t all fairy tale and butterfly happy ending stuff. It is raw you know. Not to mention where it all takes place Ireland!! Needless to say, it is one place I want to go!! The Characters are a trip!! Each with personalities you either love or hate. I love that in a book!! Now with that being said there is many I would love to meet like yourself, Rue Volley, Julieanne Lynch , Cameo Renae, Pyxi Rose, Piper Kay, Skye Kinzley , Faith Marlow, Kim Carmichael, Chelle, and many more!</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em></em> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>Aww, I can't wait to meet you either. Big pounce hugs when that happens. As for the wonderful ladies you mentioned, they are on my list too. </em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>AmBear: How did you get into blogging/beta reading/reviewing? </em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;">Jeanette</span>: Well I was doing some reviews for some wonderful Authors, such as Tressa Messenger, Cindy Smith and others as well when I had joined a group ran by Crystal Rister that offered their books for honest reviews. I loved it!! Well needless to say I meet some wonderful friends there who were so kind and I took to them right off the bat. Especially my dear friend Cindy who always invited me to events and introduced me to so many Authors!! After a while during an invite I was invited to join my first street team, which was Hot Ink Press!! I was thrilled!! So... this is when I began to do beta reading!! Me!! It was such an honor!! I have to say I still get a rush whenever I am asked to do one. Eventually I was asked to do PA work for Authors and absolutely loved it!! I really believe this is when I found my true passion!! </em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em></em> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>Yes, gotta love sum Hot Ink Press! ;) </em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>AmBear: What is your favorite genre to read?</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;">Jeanette</span>: That would have to Paranormal/ Fantasy</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em></em> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>Me too. Magic and Paranormal...Oh, how I love thee. </em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>AmBear: If your life as a blogger/beta reader etc. was a book, what genre would you be found under?</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;">Jeanette</span>: Well that depends because I do reviews in a wide range of Genre, ranging from Paranormal, Fantasy, YA to Erotica. </em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em></em> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em> Sooo, a magic using teenager who grows up to be a naughty vampire, maybe? Hmm...There may be a book storyline there somewhere :) We might need to hash this out after this interview :)</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>AmBear: What is your favorite thing about being Blogger/Beta Reader/reviewer etc?</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;">Jeanette</span>: First I love the fact of being chosen to review the hard work that an Author has put in and know the value your opinion and thoughts . It is such a privilege and it is always such a thrill!! Now the PA work is amazing!! Especially when you know you are helping getting all these wonderful books out there for others to enjoy!! There is no better feeling then the enjoyment I get from it!!!</em></div>

<em>AmBear: Of all the characters you have discovered in the many worlds you have visited through the pages of books, if you could be any one of those who would it be?</em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;">Jeanette</span>: Okay, I loved the Harry Potter series!! I have been fascinated with the whole world that this Author created. From the corky little shops found on Diagon Alley and the magical school of Hogwarts, to the many colorful characters whether they be heroes or villains. Needless to say everyone has their favorite character right? Well mine is Mrs. Weasely. I could see myself as her, taking care of all those children while running about taking care of all those pesky chores with the flick of my wand!! Not to mention the neat knitting trick!! I would love to live in that world. </em></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<em><span style="color: red;">Jeanette</span>: I watch my Grandchildren during the day so that takes up a lot of time but I do find time to do my knitting which I really enjoy. I make all sorts of things for the family such as, socks, fingerless gloves, hats, Christmas stockings and even bookmarkers. I also enjoy sewing and make tote bags. The kids love it!! Lol I enjoy being creative and coming up with new idea. Of course there is my books which a just love!!

Synopsis: <br />
New Adult Suspense Thriller <br />
<br />
From Debut Author Nikita Rae <br />
<br />
A girl with a dark history… <br />
Iris Breslin took a leap of faith when she changed her name. As Avery Patterson, she is no longer the daughter of a serial killer. No longer the girl who was bullied and abused through high school. A fresh <br />
name and a fresh start at Columbia University means Avery can leave all that behind. There’s only one thing marring her dream of a clean slate…. <br />
A boy with a past of his own… <br />
Luke Reid has a lot going for him: sex appeal, badass tattoos and insane musical talent. Despite his guitar skills, his calling in life has always been to serve and protect. A NYPD cop by day, singer in rock band D.M.F by night, from the outside Luke seems like he’s got it made. But falling hard for a girl whose father was accused of deeply sinister acts—a man whom Luke shares a devastating history with, himself—only serves to complicated things. <br />
Pieces of a puzzle…. <br />
Four symbols, four methods of destruction. <br />
A trade. <br />
Borrowed wings. <br />
Dark secrets that threaten to destroy. <br />
Winter is a full length novel, the first in the Four Seasons series. The next instalment will be available for purchase early 2014. <br />
<br />

</div>
Virginia Templeton arrived at her psychiatrist’s office, ten minutes late as usual. She was always late, as she rather enjoyed a grand entrance. Virginia was beautiful and knew it, tall and graceful, with hips tapering into long, slender legs. A body to die for, as they say. All heads turned when Virginia entered a room; women wanted to be her, and men just wanted her. <br />
She was just as sexy dressed as she was undressed, as she absolutely loved fashion. Her favorite expression was “shop until you drop,” and she did just that. Virginia loved expensive clothes and shoes — oh, how she loved shoes — and accessorized every outfit. She didn’t look at price tags and, luckily, she didn’t need to. <br />
Virginia’s image didn’t allow her to be all smiles or say nice things, as she preferred to play the misunderstood diva and use her good looks for favors. People didn’t cross the line with Virginia often and, when they did, her wrath was like nobody else’s. <br />
Nicholas Waters, her psychiatrist, sat behind his desk, waiting for Virginia to make the first move. Sometimes she didn’t speak during her sessions, instead just walking back and forth, angered that she was wasting her time in sessions that she loathed. The only reason she had even agreed to see a doctor was because her deceitful husband made that a provision in their ongoing divorce proceedings. She wanted every last dime she felt she had earned in their ten-year marriage. She had smiled when she had to, and undressed when her husband wanted her. A small price to pay for getting anything and everything she wanted. <br />
Virginia thought that Nicholas wasn’t paying attention to her, which really pissed her off. Even though he was just her psychiatrist, it was still important to her that he pay attention. Little did Virginia know that Nicholas couldn’t concentrate on anything else when she was near him. <br />
Nicholas Waters was bound by an ethical code to avoid involving himself with his patients. But in his mind, they were just fantasies. Desiring a woman and actually acting upon his desire were two different things, and his fantasies usually went away after a visit or two. Virginia Templeton was a different case. He knew it, she knew it, and so did anyone who had ever come in contact with her. <br />
She had been looking at him from the moment she arrived, but didn’t say a word. Nicholas sometimes wondered if she knew how much he wanted her. He would imagine himself lying next to her, consuming every inch of her sensuous body. Kissing her, touching her breasts, wondering how he could make her happy. She was filled with desire―and, sometimes, quite a bit of rage―but that didn’t stop Nicholas from having tight control of his mind every time she came for a visit. He was her psychiatrist, and that was the way it had to stay … for now. <br />
He was also a married man and, regardless of his unhappiness, he had remained married to the same woman for more than twenty years. When Nicholas met Carmella, he was a struggling medical student with loans, minutes away from personal bankruptcy. She was beautiful, with vibrant red hair and a sweet smile that usually presented her in a glamorous, but guarded, light. Love never entered the picture. Her family was very wealthy and highly visible. He knew she was the solution to his financial problems. <br />
Carmella’s main flaw was that she usually had a drink in her hand at eight in the morning and continued drinking until very late at night. She never wanted sex with him. That didn’t mean she didn’t like sex; she just didn’t like sex with her husband. For his part, Nicholas didn’t care about love or sex until he met Virginia. <br />
From the very moment Virginia Templeton walked into his office, attitude and all, he was hooked. He had never felt such a strong, passionate connection to anyone. Actually, he never questioned his life <br />
as much as he did once Virginia Templeton became his patient. <br />
A friend of his had referred her, and Nicholas reluctantly took her on as a patient because he felt doing otherwise might put her on the edge of doing something horrible. She came in with a lot of hatred and, whether she admitted it or not, he sometimes thought they made a breakthrough. A patient who didn’t want help never got better, but he felt she could make progress by increasing her visits to his office. <br />
Nicholas watched Virginia, waiting until she was ready to start. It always took her a little bit, as she prepared to start the sessions in her own way. <br />
After strutting around the office, Virginia kicked off her leopard, four-inch Stuart Weitzman pumps and sat her ass right smack in the middle of Nicholas’s desk. She was wearing a very tight, black leather skirt, and a see-through, white lace shirt. Because she was all leg when she crossed them, which she liked to do, Nicholas could see her black lace panties and the tiny rose tattoo on her upper right thigh. <br />
“So, Nick, where shall I begin today?” Nicholas didn’t answer, and that angered her more than he knew. “What the fuck? Help me out here, Doc. I need some answers.” <br />
For months, everything Nicholas had tried had completely pissed her off. At that moment, he felt she might be ready for a breakthrough, and quietly let her continue. <br />
“Okay, let me tell you what happened last night,” she went on. “Slater, my loving, sweet jerk of a husband was out of town. I got in my car, went right back to my old stomping grounds, drank too much, and fucked a whole lot of times. Since you didn’t ask who I was with, let me tell you. Two men were in my bed last night. One was very tall, with dark curly hair. The other was very short with a long blonde ponytail, kind of a freaky looking guy. One was on my right and one was on my left. Blondie had one finger in my ass and the other dark, sexy guy, who looked a lot like you, was in my cunt. What do you think about that?” <br />
Nicholas began to write notes. All thoughts of him having a conversation with his patient were off the board for now. He was so busy picturing the details that he couldn’t really concentrate. He was so far away from where he should be ethically that he stopped himself, took a breath, and then continued with his notes. <br />
Virginia took full advantage of the moment, as she quickly scooted off his desk and proceeded to strut around the office. “Wow, Doc, when did you get that picture-perfect plant?” She didn’t actually give a shit about the plant on the floor; she just wanted Nicholas to enjoy the view as she leaned down to touch it. “Follow me, Doc.” Bending down even lower, she spread her legs, once again exposing her lace-covered bottom. Then, just as quickly as she had lowered herself, she stood up, turned around, and smiled beautifully. <br />
“You know, Nick, you’re such a bore. You just sit there and write and write and write. Come on. Say something. Do you ever answer your patients, or do you like to totally piss them off? If that was your intention, it worked. You win. I’m totally pissed off.” <br />
Nicholas could sense her anger boiling over, and watched in anticipation that Virginia might actually be feeling something. She was just about to explode; he knew it, but chose not to stop it from happening. Sometimes that was all a patient needed to break through the barriers they’d surrounded themselves with. He also had to keep reminding himself of what was ethical. He was in danger of crossing the line, and he knew it. He hoped his feelings weren’t transparent to Virginia. <br />
“I hate boring men,” she continued, as she paraded around the room. “My father was boring. He rarely talked, and he never smiled. You can write that in your little notebook. My father was a piece of shit―a mean, selfish asshole. He never talked to me or treated me like his daughter. He had no love in him; that’s what my mother used to say. He had no soul, and I didn’t even cry when he killed himself. It was no loss to anyone. There are two things I hate in men. A man who doesn’t smile, and a man who acts like he’s better than me.” <br />
Nicholas glanced down at his watch, realizing that Virginia was getting more agitated. There was <br />
usually a moment during her treatments that pushed her to the top. The moment varied, but the pattern always repeated. <br />
“Is my time up?” she asked. “Even if it’s not, it’s time for me to go. We’re getting nowhere today. As a matter of fact, I think today will be my last visit. I don’t need to be here. Time is money. Face it, Nick, you can’t help me. No one can.” <br />
Nicholas decided it was now or never. “Virginia, sit down and stop pacing. Let’s go with what you just said. You do want me to help you, don’t you?” <br />
“No, I don’t think so. How would you feel if you were seven years old and your father pulled out a gun and pointed it at your mother? Then shot her, took the same damn gun and shot himself in the head while his daughter watched? I watched that! What kind of a person does that to his child?” She was quite proud of herself for once again coming up with a good story. “What makes it worse was my phony foster parents stuck me in the attic with ten other kids. Sometimes I looked around the attic and wondered how my life could ever be anything but dreadful and confusing. There were days when I didn’t even feel human.” Oh, she was so good at this. <br />
“Okay, Virginia. Now that you have told me what happened to you, and you think I bought it, let’s begin all over again. Every time you come here, you tell me a different story. This time, tell me the truth. Then maybe, just maybe, I can help you.” <br />
“Fuck you, Nick!” she growled. “That was the truth.” <br />
“Okay, then. Tell me how and why you married a man you didn’t love.” <br />
Virginia began to laugh. “You don’t really think I come here for your advice. Do you? I come here because my asshole husband makes me come here. He won’t give me my fair share in the divorce unless I agree to have some therapy. He wants to ease his conscience. He’s afraid he’ll look bad if I go off the deep end, and he doesn’t want any headlines. A man like Slater puts himself before anyone.” <br />
Nicholas returned to his desk, which served as his safety net. He could sense Virginia was getting quite angry, and wasn’t sure if he should push during this session. Usually, that only infuriated her more, causing her to tell more lies. <br />
“Okay, Nick. Since we’re having this nice little chat, let me tell you what I think. My husband wants to fix me and set me free. Women like me don’t get fixed. We like men, sex, and booze. We drink for fun and fuck like crazy. What’s so wrong with that? If it feels good, why not? I hate to think that being in love is enough for anyone.” <br />
After thinking for a moment, Nick figured it was time to talk. “Believe it or not, love is enough for many people. One day, you will be in love, and maybe that will be enough for you too.” <br />
“Oh, really? Are you in love with your wife? Do you even have a wife? I don’t know anything about you, other than I want to fuck you. And I think you want to fuck me. I don’t do normal, and I don’t think you do either. Or let me put it another way. You might do normal, but you don’t really like normal.” <br />
Nicholas was on his way to understanding her convoluted view of what she was all about. He didn’t soften just yet, but he was on his way. He didn’t want to compromise, but he was a man. Virginia had gotten to him even with all his armor; she knew how to dig deep. He was very close to giving in to his fantasy, and she knew she had finally penetrated into his soul. It was, she thought, her moment. <br />
Game on! She was euphoric. “I bet if you let me get you in the sack, we would be born again as one. If you allowed me to slowly undress you, button by button, and then gently massage every morsel of your being. My lips would embrace that cock of yours and you, my dear doctor, would never be the same. I promise you that! I can take you on a journey that will totally overwhelm you, and you will be mine forever, or for as long as I want you.” A sultry smile spread across her face. <br />
Virginia found herself moving as close to Nicholas as she possibly could. She could barely breathe. Her breasts pressed against his chest, she could feel his hardness against her. He didn’t feel like other men. He was distant and completely disconnected from her. To her surprise, he showed no reaction. He just stared at her in silence. <br />
Being this close to a man who seemed to feel nothing was quite disturbing to her ego. Every man she knew would have reacted quite differently. Although, she was excited by the challenge he presented. She straightened her shoulders, not allowing herself to be weak. <br />
Nicholas wanted to forget that he was her doctor and instead take her in his arms. He was uncertain how long he could resist, but he knew there would be no turning back once he gave in. He stepped back, putting some distance between them. <br />
His rejection angered Virginia. “You’re not the right doctor for me. Tell me why you took my case. Your practice was full, but you added me to your patient load. Did you really think you could help me?” <br />
“Yes, of course I thought I could help you.” <br />
“Then why the fuck aren’t you helping me?” she spat. <br />
“Because you don’t want help. You have repeatedly told me one lie after another. I can’t perform miracles.” <br />
“Screw you, Nick. Screw you. I don’t like to waste time and today, as usual, I am wasting my time. The only thing left is for us to go to bed together. I know you want me, I can tell. But you can’t do it if you’re my doctor.” <br />
“Virginia, sit your ass down. I’m your doctor, not your lover. Why would you think that I want to go to bed with you?” His patience was wearing thin. <br />
“Because every man wants me,” she purred, again closing the distance between them. Reaching for his belt, she began to slowly lower his zipper. “You want me and I know it.” <br />
“Virginia, you need to leave. Now. As of this very moment, my services as a doctor are over.” <br />
Virginia backed off. “You don’t mean that.” <br />
“Oh, but I do. Watch this.” <br />
Nicholas wrote on his notepad, “Virginia Templeton’s sessions have ended as of July 9.” He signed the paperwork to make it official, then pointed to the door. <br />
“You need to leave right now.” <br />
Virginia strolled out of the office, not looking back. She refused to let Nicholas see the tears in her eyes. He had won, and she hated that. <br />
Nicholas took several deep breaths, relieved to have resisted her very tempting offer. Their sessions had ended, and only time would tell if he would miss her. If he was honest with himself at that moment, though, he was disappointed at the thought of never seeing her again. <br />
