Guest Post & Book Giveaway: Buried in Books ... Win a copy of Claim Me!

Okay folks, I think ebooks and the Internet will be the death of me!

Don’t get me wrong, I love having approximately seven bazillion books in my pocket, but oh, oh, oh, the pain to my pocketbook!

One thing I love is the sample feature.  That way if I’m feeling frugal, I can download a sample so that I don’t forget about a book (which is always a problem for me in a traditional bookstore—I cull the pile down to something reasonable, promising myself that I’ll come back for the leftovers later—and then suffer mommy-brain and forget).  

But what I truly love the most about this brave new (book) world we live in is how easy it is to find new authors.  I don’t read in a genre while I’m writing in it, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t found loads of erotic romance books that I want to check out (on my Staycation this weekend, I hope!).  In the old days, there were ads and friends and posters in bookstores; there were New Release tables and racks near the check-out.  All good and well, but now there are those mysterious algorithms—as an author, they can drive you nuts trying to figure them out.  As a reader, I love the “also boughts” and “recommended” and narrow genre bestseller lists.  And, of course, I love hearing recommendations from my favorite indie bookstore owner.

It’s a heyday for readers, I think.  I hope you all will check out my newest release, Claim Me ... and maybe you’ll find another book to glom, too!
