Thanks for being with us today and for the great giveaway! I hope you enjoy your party here today and I want to wish you great success with your new book! Here's to it being your biggest bestseller yet!
Delighted to be here! Thanks very much.
ReplyDeleteRowena and the Land's End series is a rollicking adventure romp! Reviewers have called it "Hot and Hilarious!" and "The Princess Bride with Sex."
And indeed, I did set out to write a funny adventure novel for women. Imagine if you could walk through the wall of your workplace, into another world. What would you find there?
In fact, What's Behind YOUR Wall? smile
Rowena finds that behind her wall is an alternate world based on medieval England where she is the daughter of an Earl, and a hereditary witch. And that's where a lot of the comedy comes in. She doesn't know what she is doing with magic and the results are hilarious!
Not only that, but her arrival sparks a rivalry between all the Lords of Land's End for her hand in marriage. Rowena
is in for one sexy time.
Today is Beltane, a special day in the world of Celtic Magic - perfect for celebrating the second of the series, Rowena and the Dark Lord.
Did you leap over any fires today, Mel? I certainly hope poor Frankenpoodle didn't have to follow that Beltane custom!
DeleteLaff! Susan, I am, like Rowena, much more likely to fall into rivers and destroy dresses! Frankenpoodle was my model for Loki in the book. Different colour, but same beautiful temperment. Thanks for commenting!
DeleteNice to meet a new-to-me author. This book sounds great!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a favourite genre to read?
Hi Chey - I write comedies in two different genres, so yes, I love to read them as well. It's interesting: recently I discovered that I love books written in first person. That's how I write. That way, I become the character when I escape into her world.
DeleteBut what do I love best? Adventure stories featuring spunky women, that are a little spicy (the stories,) and true screwball comedy!
Yeah! A new author for me!
ReplyDeleteIs this book a comedy? I can't really tell from the description, but from the comments it sounds like it might be. Is it a parody or more of a romantic fantasy comedy? Off to read the excerpt, probably be able to tell by that.
