And it's on like Donkey Kong!

It's that time...DABWAHA is here!

What the hell is DABWAHA? It's just an insanely fun and awesome round of March Madness Romance Style! Put on my the ladies at Smart Bitches Trashy Books and Dear Author, you can bet your ass it's full of awesome.

Here's the details directly from the website:
"For newcomers, the DA BWAHA is a tournament of books where we put up a field of 64 books and you vote until there is one book, one champion. The contest is twofold. First, you must fill out a bracket identifying which book will win each round. Then you vote."

For even more info, and to take a look at the kick-ass prizes (iPAD anyone?) head over to the website at http://www.dabwaha.com/. Just hurry becuase your bracket needs to be turned in tomorrow before 8pm!

Death Proof: True Love Conquers All!!!!

The New York Times recently published an article about how even with the economy in the crapper and sales of books being down or flat for most booksellers, that romance title sales are on the rise.

It just goes to show - Romance Book Lovers know their priorities!

Actually, the article hits some great points about escapism in hard times and how that creates a tendency to look for romance and comedy choices in books and movies. I totally agree that paranormals will continue to grow as they take us to a whole other world and away from any semblance of the world where all our problems are coming down around us.

I highly recommend checking it out. I love the image of the manly hand grabbing Lora Leigh's Wicked Pleasure (Bound Hearts) off the shelf!


There's even a quote from Jane Little at dearauthor.com and other romance industry folks.

Here's the link to the full article.
