This summer was a crazy one for us. Between kids, work and family obligations, we were run ragged. I never thought I’d be so happy to see school start back up again. Even though summer is over and school is back in session, we’re still running around like crazy. September looks to be just as busy as July and August.
We have a lot of big things planned this month for the site, too. We have a whole slew of guest authors lined up.
9/2 Lila Munro
9/14 Erin McCarthy
9/16 Jennifer Estep
9/20 BethAnn Beuhler
9/29 Meet Me in Manhattan
9/30 Ava Bleu
We’re also planning another huge back-to-school giveaway. Starting tomorrow we’ll be giving away at least a book a day, with the possibility of up to 10 a day. We have some amazing swag to giveaway, too.
And now, we need your help. We took a hiatus from the Author Spotlight, but we’re ready to start it up again. Only, we have no idea who to spotlight. So we’re asking you! What author do you think we should spotlight in October?
Start throwing out some suggestions and we’ll make a list, then put up a poll with the most popular suggestions for everyone to vote on. Don’t forget to check out the authors (and publisher!) we’ve already spotlighted.
Be sure to come back tomorrow to check out the first in our massive giveaway and then on Thursday to visit with Lila Munro.

How about Lynsay Sands? She has her wonderful Argeneau vampire series and all those great historicals, too.
I second Erin McCarthy, Jennifer Crusie and Tessa Dare – even though Tessa Dare might have a few heoroes still.
I would add Elizabeth Hoyt, Eloisa James and Cindy Gerard.
Did you do Julia Quinn? I don’t think so right? She’s at the top of my list!
I like the above suggestions above but would like to add some more.
-Lauren Willig
-Jill Mansell
-Jude Deveraux
-Tracy Anne Warren
-Renee Bernard
-Christine Feehan
J.R. Ward
Jeaniene Frost
Samantha Kane
Susan Mallery
Claire Thompson
How about Kerrelyn Sparks or Cynthia Eden?
Sounds awesome. And what is swag? I have heard that word bantered around.
As for authors to highlight if you havent already:
Susan Mallery
Robin Carr
Susan Donovan
Rachel Gibson
Kate Angell
Toni Blake
Barbara Delinsky
I don’t know if this author has already been spotlight-ed (I’m at work right now. So can’t look through the archives)…but how about Nalini Singh. I recently read Angel’s Blood. So I have her on my mind 🙂
Another suggestion, Lorraine Heath. Working my way through her Devil’s series.
Other authors that come to mind:
– Erin McCarthy
– Lorelai James
– Shelly Laurenston
– Tessa Dare
– Jennifer Crusie
@PatL – sorry, I just saw your question about Swag. Swag = promotional merchandise. In this case bookmarks, calendars, magnets, etc.
🙂
We’re putting our poll together for the Author Spotlight. Thanks for your awesome suggestions!
