Monday writer shout out day

I love this day of the week, and look forward to seeing what everyone has coming out. If you had a book come out last week or coming out soon, let us know. We would love a quick blurb and link to where we can buy it, or a web site to where we can found out more.

On Wednesdays we have reader shout out and many of them will come back to see this post. I wish everyone a lot of sales.

I'm especially excited since last week I had a release, A TIME FOR LOVE, and it is still offered at an initial discounted price until tomorrow.

When BRENDA DENTON’S boss J. L. BRIGHTON, an Atlanta land developer and management consultant, disappears while flying his small plane on a business trip her world is torn apart. She has been secretly in love with J. L. for years. Losing her cool, professional demeanour and functioning through tears she also struggles to handle one of J. L.’s largest deals ever as she prays he survived and would give her one more chance to confess her love for him.

Brenda’s secret love for J. L. drives the rescue efforts in the hope to find him alive before his assassin finishes the job. The personal and business lives of J. L.’s three closest friends, a real estate agent, a stock broker and an insurance agent collide as they join rescue efforts to find their friend and decide how to proceed on their separate but still pending contracts.

This is a story of love lost and love gained told through the eyes of all characters directly affected by one central figure’s tragedy. The sexual tensions escalate as nerves are stretched and hearts are opened. Thinking J. L. had died in the crash Brenda turns to Bob, J. L.’s best friend, for comfort. Brenda has always waited on J. L. to make the first move, which he will if he is rescued before she falls for a married man.

Available on the Siren site

A TIME FOR LOVE

When Brenda Denton’s boss, J. L. Brighton, an Atlanta land developer, disappears while flying his small plane on a business trip, her world is torn apart. She has been secretly in love with J. L. for years. It is her hidden love that drives the rescue efforts in the hope to find him alive before an assassin finishes the job and denies her the chance to confess her love.

The personal, romantic, and business lives of J. L.’s three closest friends, a real estate agent, a stockbroker, and an insurance agent, collide as they join rescue efforts to find their friend. While they all are experts in their professional fields, their private lives hold deep secrets.

As the sexual tensions escalate and new love interests are formed, nerves are stretched and hearts are opened. This story of a triple romance creates unusual sexual triangles that evolve and intensify.

BOOK REVIEWER SHOUT OUT FRIDAY

I love Friday, like many people since it is a fun filled day with expectations of a great weekend. It is also the day I welcome all book reviewers to this site.

Book reviewers from around the world get to tell what they reviewed last week and are currently reading and hope to review the next week. They also get to say what they like to review and if they are open to reviewing new works. Most reviewers will have review guidelines on their site where they are welcome to give links to.

Remember this is a labor of love for these book reviewers and all readers and writers owe them a lot of thanks for this hard work.

So let us open it up to the reviewers and see what they have available for us today. We all need some good recommendations for the holiday season where many of us have more time to read.

It is reader shout out day

Today is the day for all readers to tell what they are reading. If you can give us a link to where we can buy it, etc, it would also be great. If not, give us the full title and author so we can find it.

If you have a favorite author you are following, also tell us. This is the day to tell the publishing world, and authors what you like and don't like.

Another point of discussion today can be on pricing. How much are you willing to pay for a book? What much effect does the price have on your decision to buy? Price points appear to be .99, $2.99, and $5.99 And, of course, the major authors can get $9.99

Please also check the previous post of authors who have new novels released.

BOOK REVIEWER SHOUT OUT FRIDAY

It's Friday--one of my favorite days, and the one we get to hear from book reviewers on what they have just reviewed and what they are planning to review. With so many books published these days, the services of these talented people is extremely important. Remember, many of these dedicated people do this for the love of the story, and are not compensated except by thanks yous from readers. So I want to offer my thank you first.

I am looking forward to seeing what I need to order next. Yes I write, but I also read many books. I always have and always will read great stories.

Why different age men appeal to different women

Age differences

I think that everything I say will be stereotyped, but it is a place to start the discussion. For this discussion I will use a woman at the age of 40. I know we can all expand on this, but it will do for now.

For women who seek older men, perhaps in their fifties or sixties, why do they do that? We can all assume love and happiness is the main ingredient, but let us just focus on other needs and motives for now. Perhaps it is security, maturity, or the ability to stop pushing a career--maybe even travel. Please add your thoughts.

Most women are more comfortable with men their own age. Perhaps this is shared goals and ambitions, or common interest. This one doe snot need a lot of discussion, but feel free to if you want.

Some women want younger men. There could be many reasons such as excitement, a recapture of a youth lost, someone that can keep up with an active woman, or the attraction of not having baggage of a previous relationship. Since I am writing a cougar series, I really want to hear form everyone what they think is the real motivation behind such.

This is not a place to offer judgment, but a place to discuss what it is that leads to the attraction for seeking a guy in a certain age group. I look forward to seeing what everyone has to say.
