Winner, of the EPIC "Friend of ePublishing" Award for the "Crazy Tuesday" internet radio show.

My "god-Princes of Tigron" series began with Forced Mate a spoof of historical abduction romances (nothing gets ripped) where the abductor is a morally questionable alien.

He has Machiavellian tendencies, and after he finds his perfect "mate" (lots of chess terminology), he decides that the best way to neuter his most dangerous political rivals who are now his in-laws is to entrap them into politically disastrous marriages to liability wives

Amphibian excerpt from Forced Mate (ADULT)

A "murk bath" is earlier described as like black tea, with a few tealeaves in the water.

The heroine, Jinny, has nicknamed the alien who abducted her from Earth, "Tigger". She does not know that he is Tarrant-Arragon, the "Black King" of the Tigron Empire,

She is betrothed to JJ (arranged marriage), but hasn't seen JJ since she was 5. JJ is the "White King" in exile as a mercenary fighting for the c Read more of this blog post »

Rowena Well, this looks immensely egotistical. I'm my own only fan, and my own favorite author.

My excuse is that I have a few feline traits. When I see a button, I click it to see what will happen. Obviously I was able to fan and favorite myself.

I was also able to post a blog as myself without having to log in.

Slayermel Hi Rowena,
I just wanted to let you know "Knight's Fork" arrived safe and sound today. Thanks again, I'm almost done one of the books I'm reading and I'll be picking this one up next. Can't wait!

Jeannie Faulkner Barber Hi Rowena (love the name, but love your hat even more!), Thanks for adding me, too. I think we're friends on another site, but I've been so busy today at work I couldn't look. I'd love for you to visit my web site, jeanniebarber.com. I'm a novice writer so feel free to make any kind of suggestions, ideas or thoughts to correct it. I’m co-authoring a novel with Patty Wiseman, another friend on Goodreads. We’ve known each other for over 30 years. While you're there, please sign the guestbook, too! There’s also a link to our book you can click on…[email protected]. This site is brand new and in the editing stage as is our story. Please visit it as well. We’re both very green, but we’ve met so many people on this site willing to reach out and offer advice or a guiding hand.
Blessings,
Jeannie

Jacquie I didn't know this feature was here, either. haven't spent a lot of time on goodreads--been neglecting Shelfari, too, which is dumb since I've made great contacts there.

I keep thinking I'll get the time to become more active in groups--hasn't happened yet, though!

BTW, it says some html is okay, but that must only be bold and italics, because when I put my name in a hot link, goodreads belched. lol
