Hercules meets Hackers

-


Kelly McCullough's WebMage, the first in a series, has the most original premise I've seen in a very long time. Plus the characters are likable and the action and wit abound. If you want to take a walk on the weird & wild side, read this book.

And Cybermancy, the next one! I'm NOT a sci fi or fantasy reader, but Kelly had me from the first page. And now I'm eagerly waiting for #3, due out this spring. Kimberly is right - creative, fast-paced, fun, imaginative - read this book!

Liz,

I believe this is my friend Liz whom I met at the NEC conference. It's so great to see you here, and I hope your writing is going well. Drop me note here or via e-mail to let me know how things are going for you.

(If this is a different Liz, it's nice to meet you.)

My novel is called Would-be Witch.

Hi Kimberly, I TOTALLY agree. I was nervous when the books arrived and didn't say anything to him. Because I was afraid that I'd have to come up with something pleasant even if I didn't like them.

But, WOW. I thought they were really wonderful in all the ways you said. And I actually liked the characters as people too. AND he did well with the romance.

Southern Witch series - Quote of the Day: "I'd never kill anyone with hair that fabulous." ~ Rollie the vampire * * * Gerry Bartlett writes a terrific humorous paranormal series featuring a beautiful full-figured vampire. Here's what Gerry has to say about becoming one of the undead herself... Since you write about vampires, if you had the choice, would you want to be one? "Lots to consider here. First, my heroine, Glory St. Clair, was turned when she had a few extra pounds to lose and then she was stuck like that. So first, I’d have to diet down to a perfect weight. And that’s obviously not going to happen. I have the self-control of a mosquito in a nudist colony. Then there’s the whole liquid diet thing. Sorry, but I love my food too much to give it up. What fun is it to live forever without steak and a baked potato? Not to mention chocolate truffles. I have to have crunch in my diet too, just like my heroine. She suffers just to taste the occasional Cheeto. O...

Southern Witch series - Quote of the Day: "I don't know why people pay for rental cars when so many friends and family members just leave their keys lying around unattended." ~ Tammy Jo Trask, whose car is often misplaced. * * * NYT bestselling author Nina Bangs writes awesome sexy, funny paranormal romances, but she didn't always know that she would become a writer. When asked in an interview what she wanted to be when she grew up, she said: "I wasn't so practical when I was young. I wanted to ride horses. I wasn't too clear on the concept of how I'd manage that, but I was open to suggestions." Don't you just love that? Amazingly, she went on to raise and show Arabians for a few years. So apparently Nina's good at turning all kinds of dreams into reality. I'm taking notes! (To learn more about Nina's terrific books, visit her site - www.NinaBangs.com ) * * * Another author whose work I love is Alyssa Day. She writes about the l...

Southern Witch series - Quote of the Day "And how come the Glenfiddle workers remembered me splashing them with the passionflower potion? Weren't these potions supposed to cause at least a little bit of amnesia? I mean how was a witch supposed to spell-cast without getting caught?" ~ Tammy Jo, realizing that when she rescues people from monsters, she needs to be sneaky about it. Life as a witch is so complicated! * * * Maria Lima is a terrific cyber-friend that I met at my friend Nancy Pickard's blog awhile ago. Maria writes a wonderful series of paranormal books (the Blood Lines series) that are set in Texas and are packed with mystery. How could I not love them? Here's the first line from Matters of the Blood : "I know the dead, and the dead know me. Not a personal choice, mind you, just the result of being born into a family of necromancers." Maria hooked me with that opening and pulled me through the rest of her story, which is just as great. Recent...
