ALPHA MALE HEROES!

I thought you might enjoy a blog I posted on character interviews over on Rose of Prose a couple of weeks ago. Love the subject matter. Alpha Male Heroes! AMAZON , BARNES AND NOBLE, KOBO Interview Assignment 1776 : Doctor Jonathan Corbett: Historical Romance: Winds of Betrayal Series … new release,  Ruse of Love . Dawg gone it!  I forgot insect repellent. The mosquitoes are huge and swarming around me, but what did I expect when I volunteered for this assignment to interview alpha males in romance novels? So, I bet you guys are wondering where I'm at. I know...I know I thought I was supposed to be going on an assignment to a contemporary romance...but no. The new girl, Arabella, took that assignment. She's flying off to her assignment in someone's private jet!!! She's getting to cover those Billionaire series and living the life of luxury.  Where am I?  I’ll tell you. In the midst of mosquito heaven somewhere in the backwoods of the Carolinas! Okay...

TOP CHOICE AWARD I've made it no secret that SEDUCTIVE SECRETS was once published as Daughter of Deceit under my pen name Carrie James Haynes. What I haven't talked about is why. Believe me I have my reasons and they are extremely good reasons. I also have extremely good reasons  I have to remain quiet. I am being told to be patient and all will come together soon.

Under Seductive Secrets, I don't have the exact count because I can't see the all the numbers from Smashwords because they haven't been reported...but the numbers I have puts the downloads to around 45,000.

Amazon, Barnes and Noble , Smashwords SEDUCTIVE SECRETS is FREE! It doesn't have specific days its free...no, it's free. When I first made the decision to go Indie, I realized that giving away a book was a must. When you're an author, your major challenge is getting readers to read your work. There is an ocean of books out there...you have do something to call attention to yourself. Last October, I released my first Indie venture. It was free. I thought I had done my due, but here I am again giving away a book. Why would I do it again? Especially since I'm not the fastest writer which may be attributed to my networking or my full time job or family... But let's look at Seductive Secrets . It took me a year to write. A year and here I am giving it away. A second free book...the question why? What possible benefit do I gather from this move? First, I really didn't have a choice...which I'm not going to go into at the moment. What is important to me...
