Your Book On My Blog
In order to have your book featured on my reader’s blog, it has to be
- open-door / steamy (rare exceptions)
- HEA / HFN (no exceptions)
- not erotica
- and the MC should not be overly alphahole/mafia/bully
Extra points if it checks any of these marks:
- contemporary or suspense romance
- small-town
- short reads
My readers mostly read MF, but I will feature an MM or FF book occasionally. Please make sure cover + blurb set the right expectations.

You can pick from various options of how to present your book: Being interviewed by me, letting a character from your book ask readers to buy it, giving an excerpt, writing about something in the book, Five Things To Know About You / Your Book / [character’s name] / Your Book’s Location… I am very open to new ideas.
If you opt for the interview, please pick at least four of the questions below (more if you tend to answer very shortly). I would not mind you twisting my questions or coming up with new ones yourself. I’d tell you if you’d put something in my mouth I never, ever would ask.
- Hey, [your first name]. Welcome to my blog! I am excited to learn more about that new book. Please, tell us about [book title].

- Is there any special reason you decided to write this book?
- Are you working on another book right now? Will it be in the same series?

- As a romance writer, I suppose you read romance yourself. What genres do you love?
- Do you read outside of romance, too?
- You are a writer just starting out. Of all the things in your writing career–what has surprised you the most? What do you like best?
- You already have published several books with some success. Does a book release get any less exciting?
