Author & Book News Roundup – March 12th 2017

It’s book news round-up time, and I have plenty to report on. A few earlybird book releases today (like that one there to the left that absolutely HAS ME). Eeeeeeep psych-thriller stalker alert. Er… the guy in the book. Not me. 😉 *snort*

Here’s a little of my own news, to start us off:

• My latest review is up Book Review – Blink by K.L. Slater

  

• I was interviewed for the “Pink Heart Society” in the March edition. It was fun!!! 😀
• Part three of our “Book Blog Birthday” trilogy (of us reminiscing and more questions that I answered) has been posted. And the trilogy is complete. Although we’re contemplating a spin-off. LOL!!!! So if you missed it, here they are (and my mom was snorting and giggling like crazy when she read these posts. They are funny!!):
• Happy 8th Birthday, Blog!!! Let’s Reminisce… Part 1
• Happy 8th Birthday, Blog!!! Let’s Reminisce… Part 2
• Happy 8th Birthday, Blog!!! Let’s Reminisce… Part 3

Calia Read just released a PSYCH THRILLER just for me!!!! That one up there to the left. YAY!!! Er… no. Well, not just for me, but I like to pretend. 😉 Figure Eight IS LIVE!! AND OH BOY BLURB-JOLT STALKER ALERT!!!!!! OMG this blurb (the whole thing!!), but especially the last part. “But there’s no one that can compare to me. You seem to forget that I’m your figure 8. Your infinity. You try to run, but I will always find you.” P.S. It’s even super-bargain priced right now.

Missy Johnson‘s latest (Don’t Hold Back (Love Hurts Book 4) <— is LIVE and it’s making me wanna cry from the blurb alone (and it CAN be read as a standalone). She’s looking for a partner to travel with for 2 months (all expenses paid)… “I’m Erin and this isn’t your usual Craigslist Ad. I’m twenty-four, and full disclosure, I’m dying. But I don’t want your pity. What I want is your help. I’m not looking for a nanny, or for someone to hold my hand. I want a friend, a confidante, a partner in crime...”

Lara Adrian just released a Midnight Breed novella!! Midnight Unbound: A Midnight Breed Novella (The Midnight Breed Series) (I was crazy for this series back when I was strictly paranormal). 😉 “A lethal Breed warrior is called upon by his brethren in the Order to bodyguard a beautiful young widow he’s craved from afar...”

Kristen Ashley‘s Rock Chick Reawakening: A Rock Chick Novella – 1001 Dark Nights just went LIVE as an AUDIOBOOK! She says:

“I woke up to some surprising, exciting news, Chicklets! I knew it was in production but I had no idea it would get to us this fast!”

Santino Hassell just released his latest M/M book (Insight (The Community Book 1), and Fabi, Teri, Molly and Kandace are our resident Santino fans!!! I hear he’s AWESOME.

Fabi: FYI my fellow mm romance readers and Santino Hassell fans. Insight is LIVE on Amazon. 2 days early, squeeeeee

Teri: Santino Hassell is a seriously good writer. Like Stephen Kings league good. His Five Boroughs series is fantastic. … Santino Hassell who is my top favorite author right now…

Faith Andrews just released a book today too!! Garden of Goodbyes is LIVE and it sounds HEAVY. What a blurb!! Oooooof. I DO love a good unconventional love story. Oh yes I do. “…an unconventional love story with heavy themes including drug abuse and cheating. This is not a romance, but it is a tale of love just the same…”

Pepper Winters has a new audiobook too!! Crown of Lies: Truth and Lies Duet, Book 1 <— JUST WENT LIVE!!! I will always consider this one of my absolute FAVORITE covers (so gorgeous!), and I hear this series is good and dark!

Alexandra Bracken‘s “Darkest Minds, The” is being made into a movie!! Tasha found us this good news and the article (Mandy Moore has been cast, and shooting for it is in Georgia, starting mid-March)!

Rebecca Donovan is raising funds for a chance at turning her “The Breathing Series” into a TV series (as I reported last week)! And tonight (7pm), there will be a book auction (here) LOADED in signed books by so many of our favorite authors, and proceeds will go to this fund. She says:

“My fabulous and gifted friends have kindly chosen to support me in raising funds to develop The Breathing Series into ten movie-length episodes, to be released on a cable/digital television network. They have all donated signed books to be auctioned for this endeavor.

My heart is full from the support, love and generosity I’ve received from my friends. I am so grateful to have such wonderful women in my life!

Together, we can make anything happen!”

Amy Harmon just announced the title and posted the blurb of her upcoming release (the sequel to her HUGE hit “The Bird and the Sword“) called The Queen and the Cure. The cover reveal will be in April (and it will release in May!!), but you’ll get a good feel for it, with this blurb!

Colleen Hoover has posted a mini “FAQ” on her upcoming TV show series for her book Confess: A Novel, so if you’ve had questions… like… “What’s Go90?” (where it will be airing), she’s got your answers! P.S. Here’s the trailer!!!

Alessandra Torre has more “Hollywood Dirt” movie-news for us, too. She’s just announced the actor that will be playing “Cole” and a little background on where they are in the production process too. In fact, it’s been featured on NBC’s Georgia news channel (where they will be filming part of the movie), here! A snippet from the article:

“Crump says they have another week of pre-production here before they begin actually shooting the film a week from today. They’ll then film for ten days in Madison, Georgia before finishing in Los Angeles.

The Augusta Film Office expects to have more than sixty percent of their crew to be made up of locals looking to help out, but there’s still time for extras who want to be a part of the film to sign up.”

K. Bromberg has a new book coming out soon entitled “The Player” (BASEBALL STAR!!) and she posted the sexy cover and blurb. Here’s a tidbit:

…when an injury threatens to end Easton’s season early, the team calls in renowned physical therapist, Doc Dalton, to oversee his recovery. Except it’s not Doc who greets Easton for his first session, but rather, his daughter, Scout…

Madeline Sheehan has officially posted an update (and blurb and cover reveal) of her upcoming book release “Undeserving (Undeniable 5)”!!! It’s Preacher and Deborah’s story! And when someone asked if it was the last book in the series she replied: “Definitely not the last, ZZs story will be book #6.” You can see the whole blurb at the link I posted, but here’s how it starts. 😉

“Warning: This isn’t a love story; it is a tragedy, a cautionary tale about the consequences of love between two people who tried to defy the rules defined for them and failed.”

And a few more that just went live (or are super-bargain priced):

• Working It (Metropolis Book 2) by Riley Hart & Devon McCormack <— M/M ROMANCE and he’s going to meet a potential new roommate but… “…things get a little uncomfortable when Hayden shows up for the interview and discovers he and Cody share an awkward up close and personal experience from their past…”
