NIGHT SPELL is in the top 10! Go vote!


The Preditors and Editors Readers Poll is open, and NIGHT SPELL is currently in the top 10 in the romance category! Thanks to all of you who voted for it! I’m sending you big wet kisses!

I knew the reviewers loved this book. Just today, Romance Divas said: Ms. Betts’ stories have a very sexy, dreamlike quality about them. Her writing style flows like silk and is full of beautiful imagery. I found each story engaging, and paced to perfection. Winged Dreams and Bed Sport made me want to go out and buy everything Ms. Betts has ever written.

And it’s so rewarding to know that readers feel the same!

For those of you who’d like to add your vote to NIGHT SPELL (you have until Jan 15th), check out: http://www.critters.org/predpoll/novelr.shtml

Also check out the other categories. I saw a number of Aphrodisia books in the Fantasy and Sci Fi categories, and your favorite review site might be nominated in the Writers Discussion Forum category.

SWAK,
Lucinda

Lots of Thanks…and some bragging!



Hi All:
Yesterday’s chat over at Joyfully Reviewed was so much fun! Thanks so much Jodi Lynn Copeland, for organizing it! Here’s wishing her the best with OPERATION G-SPOT! And thanks to Joy and Melissa for their gracious hosting!

I just found my first review of MOON SHADOW, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it! Angel at Romance Junkies says, Lucinda Betts weaves together a story of magic and erotica that will keep readers fanning. Esmenet is a great character and I love her upbeat and wild attitude. Gage on the other hand is mysterious and has a sensuality that will curl your toes. The love scenes are full of sizzling encounters and there is heated action throughout the book. Lucinda Betts is definitely going on my list of great authors and I will be on the lookout for more of her work in the future.

And new reviews for NIGHT SPELL are also delicious. TwoLips Reviews says,Lucinda Bett’s mastery of the English language provides for an eloquent and delightfully descriptive read. I completely enjoyed the NIGHT SPELL anthology and highly recommend it.Joyfully Reviewed says, “NIGHT SPELL is an erotic adventure with unique storylines and fascinating characters. This trio of stories is sexy, edgy and unique. It’s very well done.”

And last of all, Lee Hyat at Author Sound Relations has posted a very fun interview with me. Thanks, Lee! Don’t you think my pony is beautiful? Check out the interviews with the other Aphrodisia authors while you’re there!

GOING SOLO

I think fear is a normal thing. The whimpy part of my brain is telling me something like this: Yeah, your story in PURE SEX got great reviews, and yeah, Kensington bought a whole bunch of your stories–but it was beginner’s luck! You suck, and pretty soon the whole world’ll know it!

This is what I have to say to that part of my brain: Suck this!

Advanced reviews for my first solo anthology NIGHT SPELL are coming in. I’ve received two of them this week. Here, let me show you the previews…

This is an unusual anthology in that each story is as good as the next. I loved them all and am unable to choose a favorite. The author is very good at describing settings and creating likable and interesting characters. Her heroines are strong and the heroes have a little extra that makes the story.

From the fevered dreams of innocents to the sensual adventures of a thief, NIGHT SPELL has something for everyone. Order your copy of NIGHT SPELL today. Just a few words of advice — grab a cool drink before starting this anthology containing both tender and scorching love. You’ll definitely need it.

Rumors


Several of my Aphrodisia sisters sighted PURE SEX in some California bookstores yesterday, which is pretty damned exciting. And last Friday, FexEd showed up on my doorstep with 47 copies of PURE SEX. More excitement! (And don’t ask me how Kensington came up with 47.) This morning, the bookmarks I ordered finally arrived.

I feel like a real writer!

Because reality was finally sinking it, I got my webmaster back to work. I had to bribe him, but neither of us minded the payment I had in mind. Especially with all of the excitement. Check out the result!

I’d jump up and down and scream some more, but I have 9 more pages to write in my single title, THE SUPPLICANT.

SWAK,
