Interview with Sandra Brannan
Last month, I had the opportunity to ask one of my favorite authors, Sandra Brannan (pictured above), some questions in relation to her upcoming book Noah's Rainy Day. I've never done an author interview before. I had absolutely no idea what to ask her, which is silly since my best friend is a published author and I constantly pick her brain about her books. After a few days of thinking, I finally had a list of questions. I wasn't sure if she would answer the more spoilerish questions about the book I came up with, but I figured that I would ask anyway. But, my worries were unwarranted. She answered everything & gave lots of insight to the publishing world, her inspiration, & even a bit of background about herself. She even visited the site! "Your website is awesome! Where were you when I was a first time mom??" So, without further ado, here is the interview: 1. What inspired you to first start writing? I don’t know if you could call it inspired or desperate ...

Product Review – YourNovel
A few weeks back, I was asked to check out YourNovel. YourNovel is a site that let’s you pick out a pre-written romance story and customize the characters to be whoever you want. They have over 47 stories that cover a variety of categories, including fantasy (vampires, zombies, pixies), cruises & adventures.Once you pick out your story, you can pick if you want the regular romance or the ‘wild’ romance. The wild romances have slightly more graphic love scenes, but nothing too explicit. They give you a sample scene from both versions to help you decide. Then you can add in all your character info. You get to customize a lot of details about the characters, including names, hair color & perfume/scent. All of the stores use the same form, so you many end up filling info in that doesn’t get used. Once you are done with that, you can order your book. You can choose between getting a hardcover, paperback or ebook. The books are ready in a few days and then mailed out.I got a period ...
