A visit from Valia Lind
Today I am extremely fortunate to have Valia Lind, author of Simplicity, stopping by for a guest post! Please enjoy her amazing post on where her inspiration comes from! Valia…you have the floor. My inspiration: Life is like ocean waves. One minute you’re up, the next you’re down. We all go through ordeals that try us as individuals. Life is the messy bits of the big pictures. It’s made up of simple things that bring us to the victory that is always at the end. “The true beauty of a soul is the ability to love the simple things in…

Mara Purhagen: Researching Past Midnight…
Today I’m pleased to welcome Mara Purnhagen, author of the Past Midnight series, to my blog! I had the opportunity to read and review the first book in the series and I must say, I’m hooked! Mara has been sweet enough to stop by today with a guest post about the research that went into her books. So, without further ado, Mara take it away! My research for the Past Midnight series began purely by accident. I was a college freshman, and at the time, my life revolved around a busy class schedule, not annoying my hyper-sensitive roommate, and finding a…

A visit from Lauren Hammond
I am pleased to welcome the fabulous Lauren Hammond to A Fanatic’s Book Blog! She is the author of Love Sucks which brings forth the idea of being the last vampire left on Earth. In England during the seventeen hundreds, Cara Jones had her human life ended for her and she became a creature of the night. One moment she’s an adolescent young woman living her life, the next she’s lurking in the streets at night looking for her next meal. The vampire slayings in England became so brutal the whole race was nearly wiped out. So Cara and the clan…

Guest Post – A.S. Laing
Today I’m fortunate enough to have the fabulous A.S. Laing stop by my blog for a guest post! She is the author of Don’t Know Where, Don’t Know When which I very recently had the opportunity to devour and enjoy. I tell you what, this was the most fun I’ve ever had while learning something. Annette’s way of writing is completely fantastic! However I’m posting a review tomorrow, so let’s get down to her fabulous guest post shall we? Let me get one thing straight: I hate the word “educational”. Hate it. It conjures up visions of flash cards, study guides,…

She’s sweetly agreed to offer up an inspirational guest post for all you lovely readers out there as part of our challenge. Let’s see what wisdom she has to impart shall we? A Fanatic’s Book Blog asked me to guest post today, and how could I refuse? This is one cool blog. So, I thought about it, and thought about it, and procrastinated till the very last minute, as always, because guest blogs are haaaaard (insert whine here). However, there is something that I love to talk about, and that…

A bit more about Ms. DeLucy + Guest Post!
Can I say I love this picture? Okay, I’ll say it. I LOVE THIS PICTURE! Time to get to know a bit more about Ms. DeLucy. Shall we? From her Goodreads page….

Before moving to the Midwest to study English in 2002, I trained in vocal performance and had my first taste of literary work as an editor for a local social organization. Today, I work for the University of Missouri and as an…
