Book Review: 721  My Take:  Really, what could be more tempting than a haunted house hiding secrets that refuse to stay buried?  Blame it on the Moon is the first book in the Blame it on the Moon Series, and it offers a wonderful mix of ghosts, mystery, emotion, humor, and unexpected twists.

Author's Interview with Paris Voss

Image
Before we dive into our exciting conversation with today’s remarkable author, let’s start by getting to know the creative mind behind the diverse and captivating stories. 1. Could you please introduce yourself to us? Hi! I’m Paris Voss, a contemporary romance author with a passion for writing steamy billionaire romances filled with irresistible alpha heroes, strong-willed heroines, sizzling chemistry, and plenty of unexpected twists. I love creating stories packed with my favourite tropes, including enemies to lovers, fake relationships, forced proximity, and grumpy billionaires who fall hard for the one woman they can't control. When I'm not writing, I'm a busy mum of five, living in sunny Dubai with my family. I'm a hopeless romantic at heart, a lover of all things feminine and luxurious, and a firm believer that everyone deserves their own happily ever after. My goal is simple: to give readers an addictive escape from everyday life, one swoon-worthy billionaire at a ...

Author's Interview with April R Frazier

Before we dive into our exciting conversation with today’s remarkable author, let’s start by getting to know the creative mind behind the diverse and captivating stories. 1. Could you please introduce yourself to us? Hi there! My name is April R. Frazier. I am a proud mother of 3 grandmother of 7. I am a retired US Army Veteran from Fayetteville, NC US.  2. Congratulations on your book! What inspired you to write it? Thank you! Honestly, I felt more compelled than inspired. So many things go unsaid and unexpressed in society. Often times silence makes way for the continuation of negative behaviors and misinformation. In writing this book my primary objective was to show someone that bad things happen to good people. Things happen that are outside of our control and trauma doesn't discriminate. In fact it comes in many shapes and forms. Survival and perserverance can often boil down to a state of mind and will power.  When I'm gone I want my children, grandchildren and great gr...
