Two Voices

Some may call it multiple personalities.... we call it two for the price of one! Bernadette Gardner and Jennifer Colgan are one writer with to styles. Bernadette Gardner authors "Steamy" science fiction/fantasy and Colgan is a paranormal romance author. How is it that one woman is able to turn into two separate voices? Passion and determination. To be able to keep writing in two separate genres must be a difficult task. Find out more about how it's done by reading Two Voices on blogger.

Cate's Closet

Reading Cate's Closet blog is interesting because she admits right up front that you'll never know if you will be reading fact or fiction. She must be an enigma then because I'll have a hard time now trying to figure out if something is real or not! What an interesting concept. The author, Cathy Richard Dodson, has a book, Shadowed Memories, e-vailable as a POD download or ebook format. Do yourself a favor and get mixed up in a little reality...or is it fiction.. you'll never know with Cate's Closet!

Strictly Seductive

Multicultural Erotic Romance is the genre that this author, Anisa Damien, is known for. Her weblog Mahogany Lounge can be found on blogspot.com.

What I like about Anisa Damien's weblog is that it does not only focus on her and her own writings. Instead, she relies heavily on interaction with other writers, editors, and readers in the form of interviews posted on the side bar of the blog.

She also has a section called 'Mr. Seductive' which features Paul Walker! I hope this changes frequently. I love pictures of hot actors!
If you want to read some of the multi-cultural erotic novels of Anisa Damien's, she has a lot of information on her books in the blog. They include: Wild Impulses, Herrara's Temptation, and Jingle My Bell. She also has some upcoming novels titled Hot Flashes Baby it's Witchcraft, Midnight Whispers, Brown Suga Inc.. These books sound super sexy!

Dangerously Romantic

So, the first thing I notice when I happen upon Toni Anderson's Dangerously Romantic blog is a HOTTie in his undies. How can you NOT love a blog that looks like that?
Toni is an upcoming author who hails from Manitoba, Canada. Not only is she now a published writer, but she has a Ph.D in Marine Biology!
Toni's soon to be release novel, Her Sanctuary, will be available December of 2006 from Triskelion.
If you like to read romance that has intelligence behind it, Toni Anderson may be a great place to start. Visit her blog to find out more about her!

Sensual Paranormal

If you like sensual paranormal romance, this blog is the spot for you! Vivienne King brings us her blog of her experience as a writer and the problems associated with being a writer. I especially enjoyed her post on being jealous of other writers. It's definitely nice to know that other people out there feel that way.

Vivienne Kings work Fire and Ice can be purchased as an online book at cobblestone-press. She also co-authored Witch Hunt.
Sensual paranormal romance is not something we here at realbook.com see very often, so I thought I would post a little blurb about this blog in case anyone was interested in checking out her work. I would recommend it! We need to open up to new genres!

Bleeding Ink

For all of you vampire lovers out there, check this blog out! Bleeding Ink is the creation of Heather Brewer of St. Louis, Missouri who is a published author of young adult novels. Her series, The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, is set to be released in August of 2007!
Some of Heather Brewer's other works include Eighth Grade Bites available at Amazon, and Ninth Grade Sucks (in progress).
I enjoy Heather's links as well, especially to the live journal blog of Ms. Poppy Z. Brite, one of my personal favorite authors from when I was younger. I'm excited to see that there are new upcoming authors with similar themes to what I was reading when I was into the young adult novels. Although sometimes the blood sucking and biting can sometimes be put into the 'adult' catgory... I think it's O.K. to expose younger adults to these themes. It definitely opens up their eyes to a new world of exploration.

"Asian Chick-Lit"

If you have an interest in Christian faith based blogs, as well as girl power blogs, Camy Tang has a great blog for you. Camy considers her style to be "Romance with a kick of wasabi".

Recently Camy Tang has been offered a book deal for a series of books she has created called Single Sushi. These books chronicle the lives of 4 people finding their true selves and love through the work of God.

One thing I really enjoyed about Camy's blog is her sense of humor. I like how she has taken Asian culture most americans know (Sushi, Wasabi, etc.) and used them in key phrases and catchy slogans. This makes me definitely want to find out more about the kind of books she's writing.

If you like reading Asian themed novels, especially in the romance genre, then why not check out the work of Camy Tang!
