As our Canada Day Blog Hop comes to a close - I have one more special guest!  Fabulous paranormal/urban fantasy/erotica author Stacey Kennedy !!! About Stacey: I love the paranormal romance/urban fantasy genre and love a series more!! Nothing can hook me in more than an adventure and one that keeps on going. I love a page turner, one where I’m up at a ridiculous time and my eyes burn because I can’t stop reading. Witty characters, dominant men, danger, action, romance and hot sex―oh my!   My novels are lighthearted fantasy, heart squeezing, thigh-clenching romance, and even give a good chuckle every now and again.  I’m not a planner.  I don’t write with a set idea because no matter what I plan, the characters’ voices always come through and demand I listen to them. So, I gave up trying to fight it! The journey as a writer all began when I was a teen and wrote poetry, which still to this day I pull out to have a good laugh.  Later ...

Soon, the only thing that can destroy their love is the darkest secret of his past—and the secret desir...

As part of our Canada Day Blog Hop - I have special guest Tiffany Clare today!! About Tiffany: Deciding that life had far more to offer than a nine to five job, bickering children in the evening and housework of any kind, Tiffany Clare opened up her laptop to rediscover her love of the written word. Tiffany writes historical romances set in the Victorian era for St. Martin’s Press. She lives in Toronto with her ever-patient photographer husband, two mischievous children, a cat that thinks he’s a dog and a dog that thinks she’s human. AT:  Where in Canada do you live?  Tell us what you love about your town or city. TC:  Toronto. I love everything about it. The shops, the easy to use transit system, being in close proximity to everything I need (I don't drive at all, nor do I have any desire to ever get my licence--I think that is a Torontonian mentality). AT:  Who is your favorite Canadian Author? Actor? Artist? TC:  Actor: Ryan Reynol...
