I met today’s guest author at the inaugural Booklovers Convention in New Orleans in May this year.  Frequently hitting Amazon’s best-selling author list, she is an Amazon All-Star author as well as being a “crowdsourced” winning author through Amazon’s Kindle Scout Program in 2016 (for her book “A Highland Knight’s Desire”).  She has won many awards including a RONE awared in 2016 from InD’tale Magazine for the Best Time Travel for her novel, “Rise of a Legend”. When she is not writing, she loves practising karate, studying karate and ballet and hiking in Utah’s Santa Clara Hills. I’ve found with many of my author guests that they have had numerous occupations and this talented author is no different. She has sung and danced with the Follies, was a plant manager, ballet dancer and earned her MBA from Heroit-Watt University in Scotland. It’s with great pleasure that I welcome Amy Jarecki to the blog today! Amy, will you please tell us a little about your ...

Today’s guest author obtained a Ph.D. in English literature but made the decision to leave her academic career behind her for the “sheer joy of writing fun fiction”. It’s a decision I have no doubt has kept many a reader up late at night being totally absorbed in her stories—laughing out loud one page and reaching for a handkerchief on the next! This talented lady, from North Carolina, is a NY Times and USA Today Best Selling author who has over 9 million books in print in 20 different languages, and her novels are always bound to please. All the awards she’s won are too numerous to mention, but include the Holt Medallion Award, The Maggie, and The Booksellers’ Best. I’ve met up with Sabrina Jeffries at a couple of RT Conventions over the years and always look forward to having my fan girl moments with her and snapping a picture with her in one of her period costumes. I’ve also managed to see her again, albeit very briefly, at the Booklovers Convention in New Orleans in May. I’...

I met today’s guest in New Orleans at an RT Convention in 2014, refreshed my skills with her wisdom at a writing boot camp and laughed until it hurt when we had dinner together as she looked after the international guests. The entire convention was great, but I have to say that meeting this author was one of the memories I'm going to cherish from that event. For three weeks, until an injury forced her to give up that dream, she was a pro racquetball player in the USA. If that doesn’t give you enough clues...she is a USA Today bestselling author who writes paranormal, contemporary and historical romances under two different author names. Welcome Jade Lee (Author of Sexy Historical Romance)/Kathy Lyons (Author of Sexy Paranormal Romance) to the quick author quizzing! Will you please tell us about your latest novel and whether it held any particular challenges for you? Taming Her Mate  was the last in my Grizzlies Gone Wild series. I needed to finally punish the one r...
