In the Spotlight – Loni Lynne

Loni Lynne 5 p12756ta105474_25Today’s guest is the delightful Loni Lynne! She’s the author of a brand new Paranormal Romance, Wanted: One Ghost. The premise of this book sounds so wonderful, I can’t wait to get the book and read it!

About Loni Lynne

Loni Lynne believes fate determines our lives and we are just along for the ride.  Holding on tight, she’s managed an eclectic life of moving all over the country in her youth, seeing sights and places her dreams still take her to every now and again. Writing stories since she was thirteen and dreaming of actually writing a book since that time, fate took over, giving her a chance to find material and experiences to write about.

Upon graduating high school, she served her country in the United States Navy where she met her United States Army hero/husband in his hometown of Annapolis, Maryland. After being stationed in Hawaii for their first four years together, they returned to settle in Maryland where they still live, Happily Ever After with their two princesses, who prefer to play with dragons instead of running from them.

Four years ago, as a birthday gift, her husband gave her a portable hard drive, a membership to Romance Writers of America, and the challenge to have a completed manuscript by her next birthday.  She did it and then some.  Now, she can’t stop writing.

katie_osullivan_photoIt’s a pleasure to welcome my friend Katie O’Sullivan to the blog today. Katie and I went through the pre-launch jitters together as we waited for our books to launch within weeks of each other. We also were part of the group of five authors putting together a giant Twitter party. The one that ended up being a Facebook party when Twitter let us down. Katie is a wonderful person and a talented author and I’m honored that I was able to get to know her over the last couple months. Her new book, Son of a Mermaid, is a fun and engaging read and perfect for summer! Please join me in welcoming her to my blog.

In the Spotlight – Jordan K. Rose

Today we’re changing it up a little and not only featuring Jordan K. Rose and her next book, but also her brand new blog, “Eva Prim’s Snack of the Week Blog.” Jordan is the author of the novel, Perpetual Light. Eva Prim is the heroine of Jordan’s new book, The Demon Mistress, due out in October, 2013. The blog is written from Eva’s point of view and features the friends Eva makes as she surfs the internet. Please join me as we learn a little more about all three!

About Jordan K. Rose

After trying her hand at many, many things- from crafting and art classes to cooking and sewing classes to running her own handbag business, Jordan finally figured out how to channel her creativity. With an active imagination and a little encouragement from her husband she sat down and began to write, each night clicking away at the keys with her black Labrador, Dino curled up under the desk.

A few short years later she’s entered the publishing arena with no plans to ever turn back.

Jordan’s a member of several RWA Chapters.

Read on for more about Jordan, her new blog and the book that inspires it.
