An Interview with R.M Gilmore

Who or what inspired you to become an Author?

One night I got drunk...the good once always start like this. The idea of Dylan Hart (read the books it'll make sense) sparked in my noggin and kind of grew over time. It took years before that idea became anything that resembled a book, but I let someone read it and they pretty much forced me to finish it. A few years ago I decided to publish direct - Indie - and forgo trad pub outright. Dylan Hart is now a series with the third book coming soon, as well as, short stories and a YA novella trilogy. I can't say I was inspired to become an author - I just figured out that writing was the outlet I needed. Either that or Lithium. 

 

What is the most outragous scene you've written or cut from your books?

Drunken vomit - don't want to give too much away to those who have yet to read book two - but let's just say if you're planning on making-out watch your alcohol intake. 

 

If you could be any character you've written who would it be?

Dominika. She's a bitch, but she's super hot and the accent helps a bit too. A lot would probably assume I'd choose Dylan, but I am already pretty much Dylan. Why not go for the gusto? 

 

What was the first novel you ever read

The first non-school book I read was A Child Called It. I cried. I don't cry - like ever - and I bawled like a little bitch. I was 18 and thought I ruled the world. The experience was humbling to say the least. 

 

If you could pick one paranormal creature to spend eternity, with which would you choose?

Shifter. It's so versatile. If i have to spend eternity that way I might as well give myself he most opportunities for growth. Let's say one day I want to be a bat? POOF! I'm a bat. In a week I might want to be a tiger - BAM - I'm a damn tiger. Hmmm, can shifters become vampires? I guess it depends on the story you're reading. But, in my story they can and they will. So there you have it - shifter.


Thank you R.M for that awesome interview.


Now with every blog tour that I have participated in may I present to you, The book review..




 

 

 

Synopsis

 

The Scene (Dylan Hart #1)

Irreverent twenty-something, Dylan Hart, has her little black heart set to cash-in on the blood-drained bodies of seven prostitutes scattered throughout southern California.
In search of the culprit of the media-dubbed Vampire Massacres, journalist Dylan Hart dives head first into L.A.’s sanguinary ‘vampire’ subculture, in an attempt to write her first best-selling novel and pay off her ever growing student debt.
 Dylan drinks whiskey, smokes like a chimney, and possesses a mouth she wouldn’t kiss her mama with and with the aid of her statuesque hetero-life-mate Tatum Price, Dylan takes the case head-on, slicing her way through the absurd, the ethereal and the deadly serious, of the underground ‘vampire’ community. But lies and skepticism keep Dylan from the facts hidden within fiction and the danger lurking right under her nose. It’s all shits and giggles until a dead body pops up at your back door. 

 

 

My Review

Dylan Hart is a no nonsense, no filter journalist/ aspiring true crime author. I loved that Dylan had that no nonsense attitude, along with her best friend tabloid journalist Tatum the two make a comical pair. What really drew me in with this plot was the are the vampires real or is it all an act. With enough suspense and a couple of moments that made me jump lol.  I loved the inner dialogue Dylan has with herself when she's trying to think things through or just trying to keep herself from saying stuff out loud when she want's to call that person out on their BS lol.  I highly recommend this book and I can not wait to read the second installment to see what kinda trouble Dylan will get herself into.

*Guest Post* My First time attending RNC(Romance Novel Convention)

Hola Addict's

I managed to snag a pixie for this guest blog post lol. Kimberly(same Kim who got me hooked on Eversea lol). Kim went to the RNC(Romance Novel Convention) in Vegas last month and I reached out to her while she was in Vegas asking if she wanted to do a guest post on her experience at RNC. Thank goodness she said yes :-)


So without further wait or me blabbering on I introduce one of H.p Mallory's pixies Kimberly..

     Hi, my name is Kimberly Hickey, and I am a book addict that is why I love this blog!!! I had the great pleasure of getting to know so many people just though books, Sherita being one of them.  So after about a year of playing around on Facebook by friending characters of the books I have read and authors of those books, I ventured out to Las Vegas for  my very first time attending The Romance Novel Convention by Jimmy Thomas.(You may not know his name, but you know his face and physic since he is on many and I do mean many book covers).

 

 A friend who I met through a group I belong to on Facebook, met up and went to the RNC. Being Las Vegas virgins, we certainly walked around with wide eyes and were mesmerized by the bright lights and the adult playground that we were spending the next 5 days and nights in. The first night at the Kick Off party, we were fortunate to meet the author that's basically the reason the FB group I am in was created came together for the love of HP Mallory and her characters. HP showed up dressed like many others in Las Vegas – ELVIS !!!

 She was so much fun!

The following night, after a day of classes on everything book related for authors, editors, bloggers etc., was the costume party ! All I can say is what a night !  my best friend  and I dressed up as Pixies, with wings and everything !  There were many lovely and beautiful gowns worn. HP Mallory was dressed as one of her characters, Jolie Wilkins!

 The male suitors (models) were dressed also, we had an Indian, an old western cowboy, a caveman, a Kenny Chesney look alike, a baseball player, and a ranch hand. And they kicked up the dance floor the whole night !

We had lunch with the InD’tale staff, I got to sit with my newest fav author, Natasha Waters (Code Name: Ghost)! They are amazing group and the online magazine is dedicated to Indie Authors.  

This being my first book convention, I was not sure what exactly to expect, but I do know this, I will be there next year!!!

Hope to see you all there next year!!! Kim Hickey

Thanks again Kim for that awesome post. Now if I can only convince her to attend the RT Convention next year in New Orleans then I would be set lol.

 

Look out for 3 new reviews and what I am currently reading coming soon... Now that I will have more time on my hands on my days off since my minions went back to school on Monday(throw's Confetti).

 

Oh and btw the facebook page has now reached 185 likes(Throw's more confetti) so be on the lookout for a contest coming soon..(still trying to figure out what to give away)

 

Anyway that's all I got for you today.

Author Bio

Officially Currently Reading

Evening Addict's


As promised the current book that I am reading.

Crime Wave by Rose Pressey

Here is the Synopsis for Crime Wave

 

 

Maggie Thomas doesn’t know the first thing about being a private eye. She quickly discovers that running her uncle’s faltering Miami Beach P.I. agency is nothing like watching detective show reruns. Even the private eye app on her iPhone can’t help.
But Maggie’s first case is surprisingly easy… or so she thinks until she stumbles on a dead body. With whizzing bullets, car chases, and spandex clad bodybuilders, Maggie wonders if she’s in over her head. Jake Jackson, the dangerously charming cop, thinks Maggie needs to stick to snapping pictures of cheating husbands and leave the detective work to the professionals.
The danger escalates when another homicide victim washes up on the shore and now someone wants to stop Maggie from solving the murders. With the help of her knitting needle wielding, orthopedic shoe wearing assistant Dorothy Raye, Maggie must solve the case before she’s the next victim of this crime wave.

Currently I am about 189 pages in, all in total this book is 567 pages long. I'm not going to lie I am hooked on this book. It has the right amount of humor which keeps it light and enough mystery to keep you reading(don't like mysteries that after a few chapters you know who the killer is).  Right now Maggie's assistant Dorothy is stealing the show for me lol.

I should be finished reading this tomorrow or Sunday(the kids are going to my mother's house tomorrow Yay!!!) so I should be able to get uninterrupted reading time lol.

Anyway that's all I have for you guys today. I'm going to read a bit then go to bed.

Until Then

Behave yourselves and Read On!!!

Readers block

Happy Friday Addict's

Has anyone ever had an ADD moment when reading? Meaning reading one book only to abandon it to start reading another. Well that's my predicament right now. I was reading Gone Girl (nothing wrong with the story line btw) but I switched over to Crime Wave by Rose Pressey(sorry no cover blogging from my phone).

So far I'm loving it, it has a Stephanie Plume (sorry spelling) vibe to it. When I get home I will do another post with the cover and synopsis, but if you can't wait then you can visit Rose's author page http://www.rosepressey.com

Oh and another big shout out to Kimberly for helping me get over 50 likes on the fb blog page. If you haven't checked it out here's the link to that http://www.Facebook.com/misslittlebookadict

And one more thing I will be participating in Author R.M Gilmore countdown to the dirty 30 blog tour so look out for that! I will be posting the tour dates to that soon :-)

Until then

Behave yourselves and read on!!

Blog Tour Stop *A Stroke of Luck *

Howdy Addicts



I am excited to be hosting my first blog tour stop today!!! What better way to get a blog tour started then by posting the actual book and excerpt lol.

So I present to you A Stroke of Luck by Desiree DeOrto

 

Synopsis

 

When you work in an all-night diner, you never know who will walk in the door.

Katie Jones doesn't believe in love at first sight. After divorcing her abusive husband, she doesn't believe in love at all. But when Jacob Richmond walked into Bud's Diner, her disbelief was put to the test.

Jacob came to Kansas to find inspiration. He was searching for the subject that would be the muse for his next masterpiece. He wasn't expecting to find himself completely consumed by a waitress who had more baggage than he thought possible.

When love at first sight just doesn't cut it, your burning desire can't be controlled. Sometimes you need just a little luck to put it all together.

He was searching for inspiration....
She was searching for an escape...
But with a Stroke Of Luck, anything can happen

 

 

 

EXCERPT

Jacob and Katie: He grinned, running his hand over his cropped hair. “Promise you won't laugh?”

She raised an eyebrow. “I can't promise that. But I can promise that I will hear you out before I do laugh.”
He chuckled, and embarrassed flush creeping up his neck. “Well, I've always been creative. Even when I was little. I've always been fascinated with creating something beautiful out of nothing. Or finding beauty where other people overlook.”
She stayed silent for a moment, her green eyes piercing into him. He felt like she was looking into his soul, opening it up and inspecting all aspects of it. He was ensnared. A blush stained her cheeks as she looked away.
“I don't think that's funny. I find it quite remarkable actually.”

My Review

 

A Stroke of Luck is one of those books where you need a cold shower after reading(or your other half lol). I loved it!!

This novella is about a waitress named Katie who works in a Diner on the graveyard shift. Katie returned back to her small hometown after getting away and divorcing her abusive ex-husband. After dealing with the physical and emotional scars at the hands of her ex. Katie is through with love that is until sexy artist Jacob enters the diner. Jacob was searching for his next muse to reignite his masterpieces. When Jacob first lain eyes on Katie he knew that there was more to her then a muse for his artistic inspiration. Sparks fly between the two but will Katie let her guard down to let Jacob in and love her the way she is suppose to be loved??


I loved this story it was a quick read. The chemistry between Katie and Jacob was off the charts hot. I loved that Desiree didn't try to pack a big story in a small package. It was just the right mix of hot, sweetness, drama and swoon to leave you satisfied or craving for more(hint hint lol). I love Bud he is suck a sweetheart that will pull at your heartstrings as the widowed Diner Cook/Owner. But all in all this is a good book to read when you are in between books or want to get over a book hangover. I can't wait on the next installment to see how Bud will work his magic on his other waitress Vicky.
