Author Guest Post and Giveaway - Rhiannon Held, author of Silver and Tarnished

BadassBookReviews is so pleased to have Rhiannon Held stopping by the blog today.  Rhiannon is the author of Silver, a werewolf urban fantasy that just so happens to be one of our most pleasant surprise finds from last year.  Silver tells the story of Andrew Dare, werewolf enforcer, and Silver, a beautiful werewolf that has lost her ability to shift.  Originally, I thought Silver was going to be a standalone novel so I was absolutely delighted to hear about the upcoming release of Tarnished.  In Tarnished, Rhiannon takes us back into Dare and Silver’s world and shows how they are both dealing with [ Read More of this Review ]

"Growing a Story" A Guest Blog by Laura Bickle Author of Embers (Anya Kalinczyk #1) and Sparks (Anya Kalinczyk #2)

Growing a story is a lot like nurturing flowers. It takes a lot of care and patience. For a long while, it seems like nothing is happening. It’s a lot of frustration with no immediate reward.

I scribble the shriveled idea down in a journal, giving it plenty of white space to grow. I check up on it every so often, revisiting it to water with [ Read More of this Review ]

We cannot even begin to tell you how excited we were to interview Mira Grant (aka Seanan McGuire). She is responsible for one of my all-time favorite series, the Newsflesh trilogy.

In addition, Ms. Grant was the winner of the 2010 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. The Newsflesh trilogy includes three full length novels- Feed, Deadline and Blackout, plus Countdown, a novella set prior [ Read More of this Review ]
