My guest today joins me from New Mexico and is an amazing NY Times, and USA Today Best Selling author whose title “First Grave on the Right” won both the Golden Heart Award and the RITA from Romance Writers of America. I won't list all her accolades, but will say she’s also been the recipient of two Holt Medallions and a Daphne du Maurier award. Her paranormal romantic thrillers (Charley Davidson series) and Y/A series (Darklight Trilogy) have both been published by St Martins Press.  Even though she’s not a new author (she’s been writing seriously since 2002), my guest, Darynda Jones, is a fairly new author to me — her work introduced to me by a mutual friend (Hi Dana Alma!) who almost exhausted every superlative in the dictionary as she described Darynda’s stories!! OMG I love her SO MUCH!  Welcome Darynda to the quick quizzing blogspot today. It’s great to have you here as my guest and I’m hoping to meet you at the inaugural Booklovers Convention at NOLA. Tha

Now I need to check out her Pine River and Cedar Springs  series and also the Lake Haven novels!! (If you follow this blog weekly you'll have some idea of how long my TBR list is!!!)

While I’ve never met this fabulous NY Times, USA Today & Publisher’s Weekly Bestselling author, I’m looking forward to catching up and saying 'Hi' in New Orleans at the inaugural Booklovers’ Convention. Not only do I love the stories I’ve read, but I was also looking through the Bio o

Joining me today from Idaho is a NY Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling author who has written a huge selection of both regency and contemporary romances, young adult and paranormal titles. A huge array of stories with something for everyone!! Her publishers include 1001 Dark Nights, Hachette, Grand Central and others.  Now, lots of authors are interactive with their readers, but I don't think I've ever seen such a wide variety of interaction opportunities as there are if you join my guest's "Elite Lounge".
