First, some awesome news! Three days after going live in the Kindle Store my first memoir, Being Naughty: The Life & Times of an Erotica Novelist, hit the Top 100 Bestsellers List in two categories. It was #26 in Sex books and #21 in Marriage books out of almost 2000 books in each category. And it stayed on the Marriage list for over 24 hours. Wow! I swear, I have the best readers/fans in the world. Yes, I do.

Okay, I have a treat for you today. This is an interview that ran last week on the “Sizzling Hot Books” blog. When I posted about it on Goodreads, Facebook, and Twitter, several of my readers said they loved it because it gives a more in-depth view of my writing process and my books than my other interviews.

Cool!

If you follow me on Twitter then you know I’ve been having nightly conversations with a 5000-year old vampire named “Spicy_vampire.” Damn, do I have my work cut out for me with that chilly chick! *falls over laughing* Every time I try to make a party girl outta her she threatens to slap a chastity belt on me. HORRORS!

One night she tried to deter me from coming down to visit her by mentioning there were a couple of hunky Weres guarding her bed during the day while she slept. Alrightyyyyy! You know me. Love those shifters! Ever since then I’ve been wondering how well those yummy guys know how to use their “tools.” *licks my naughty lips*

Jackie Hussein is one of our buds on Twitter. She also has a book review blog called “Insane Hussein.” Believe it or not, Jackie and I share the same birthday. Totally cool! Jackie often joins in on the conversations I have with Spicy as I try to loosen that vamp up and talk her into heading out to Vegas with me to party with some hunky strippers.

An awesome interview with me appeared last Friday on the “Books, Books, and More Books” blog (www.ruthiesbookreviews.blogspot.com). Ruth Schaller did a fab job with her questions! If you missed my tweets about it last Friday I thought you might like to take a look at it here.

I’ve done like seven interviews so far since “A Vampire’s Kiss” was published on March 9. The wild thing is even if some of the same questions are asked (and they are from time to time) my answers are always different. Why? Cause it just depends on what kinda mood this slut is in: slutty, sluttier, or sluttiest. No wonder one of my fans said she loves reading these interviews since she learns something different about me every time. Now you know why. lmao!

Speaking of that, I’m posting most of these interviews on my book site (”Interviews” button at http://www.avampskiss.blogspot.com) if you’d like to read more of them. And I just finished another interview on Thursday night that will go live May 5 on a vamp review blog. I was wide open that night, so it’s the sluttiest one yet. No kidding. I’ll tweet everyone to let you know when it goes live.

A review of “A Vampire’s Kiss” and a cool interview with me came out on Friday on the Maybe Tomorrow? website (http://www.xxbetty.blogspot.com). Beth Tyler did an awesome job with both, so I thought I would run them today as my Tuesday blog post.

Just in case you’re wondering, I did NOT behave myself in the interview. Not my fault! I’ve got strippers-on-the-brain syndrome. Although I‘d much rather have them on another part of my bod. Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….!

An awesome review of “A Vampire’s Kiss” and a looooong interview with me went up this week at Bitten by Paranormal Romance (http://www.bittenbyparanormalromance.blogspot.com). Thought you might like to see it. Enjoy!

Review

(Rating: This one gets a 5/Extremely Hot and Naughty)

What to say, what to say? I say this is going to be a good series. If you like sexy vampires and sassy witches this will be the beginning of a great read for you. The series itself will be released in volumes. I am reviewing the first 3 chapters of Volume 1, “A Vampire’s Kiss”. It’s easy to see how hot and heavy Dray and Sara are headed for. The first three chapters give a tease of the story and introduces our main characters.

“Laura!! Your book arrived!! I loved the dedication and I’ll treasure it forever. as soon as I read it, I will review it on Goodreads!! Many hugs and thanks!!” (Rozonda, Spain)

“Congratulations on meeting Laura, Ron! You have hit on many of the reasons we all are addicted – she’s about as real as it gets, doesn’t use a faux personality (think Aerosmith’s video w/ phone sex operator), and really connects with her fans on a very personal level. AND she’s an extremely talented author and blogger!” (Cindi, Texas)

“Hey, my husband came home yesterday and said that I had talked so much about you he decided to go on your website and check you out. He then said, “O My God!” and all I could do was laugh. I laughed so hard I almost peed myself. He was shocked about a lot of things on there. It was really to funny, I wish you could have heard him.” (Melody, Georgia)

“Laura, I’ve been pretty behind lately, and so haven’t been FB’ing, etc. I got your newsletter today (yipee!) and so checked out the new site. I just LOVE it!! Congratulations, you did a super job! Your designer developed a beautiful, sexy (what else? *G*) background for you. So keep it up (intended), concentrate on getting those books out! You’ve really had a lot to deal with lately re: publishers, etc. but you’ve kept going . . . . Sorry I missed the info about the poetry book giveaway, but think it looks like a neat Xmas gift. Don’t forget me on your holiday hunk card – I just lost my hottie young boy toy so I’ll need to share yours ” (Cindy, Texas)

“Yeah! Woo Hoo!- btw- I really love THE YEAR OF THE CAT! it so rocks… and those pamphlets with the first chapter of your WITCHERY SERIES novels is pure genious! I so can’t wait to get the books and start reading…” (Shay, Texas)
