I get an amazing amount of author promo in one of my email accounts (set aside specifically for this reason). Sometimes I get overwhelmed by it all and do a mass delete. Today, my eye was caught by a promo from Jayne Ann Krentz announcing the release of Bridal Jitters. It’s not a new book, but was previously in an anthology with others. (if anyone cares, similar books were released today by J.D. Robb, Christine Feehan, and Sherrilyn Kenyon, I believe). So, I’m reading the email, trying to recall if I ever read Bridal Jitters (I still am not sure, I can’t see how I possibly missed it since I’m both a fan of her work and a paranormal romance slut)
Now, I’m not one for being a fangirl, but if ever there was an author who, going by sheer number of books on my bookshelf alone, I should be squeeing for, it’s probably Jayne Ann Krentz aka Stephanie James aka Jayne Castle aka Amanda Quick (whew, are you tired yet?). I don’t own all of her books since I know I don’t have some of the older categories, but by golly, I’ll bet I come close.
You can imagine how my interest was piqued when I read that Jayne Ann Krentz has started a blog. Although I do enjoy some author blogs, I find myself reading more blogs of aspiring authors, fellow romance readers and my fellow mommies. But I’m enough of a fan that I’ll be looking forward to seeing how JAK develops her blog ‘voice’. It’s a brand new blog, only a few posts (I’ve been finding a lot of those lately, haven’t I?) so she’s still got time to find her style! Check it out:
First of all, Angie, a big fat thank you for finding that error on my blog (the double profiles). That’ll teach me to tamper with templates in the middle of the night! LOL
Secondly (this probably should have been first) I LOVE those darling baby photos at the top of your page!!
And about Jayne Ann Krentz–I’m embarrassed to say that it actually took me a couple of years before I realized she was all of those writers! She’s one prolific woman. I’ll definitely have to check out her blog.
Pop on over to my blog again anytime, Angie!
I love the word ‘squeeeing’ – I’m always looking for new words; I saw Glom used a lot lately, but this is the first time I’ve seen Squeeeing!
Will have to check out Jayne’s blog –
Hugs,
Sam
I never thought of a blog as having a voice! That’s an interesting way of putting it. When I killed my old blog, it was partly because I didn’t feel I had anything to say other than “this is where I’m at with my current Work in Progress.” Now I’m hoping that I can make my blog a little more interesting! I tend to just read the blogs of my fellow writers and friends, and those who visit my blog, too.
Hugs,
Chey
