The Joy of Romance…and Summer Jobs!

March 15, 2016August 26, 2015 by VanessaKelly

I’m doing the rounds of the world-wide-interweb today, talking about the joys of romance, the joys (or not) of summer jobs, and giving away books. My first stop is at Read-A-Romance-Month, which is a month long celebration of the joys of romance, sponsored by Bobbi Dumas of Kirkus Reviews. Bobbi is hosting dozens of fabulous romance writers during the month of August, who are all talking about their personal experiences of the romance genre AND giving away lots of books. Click here to join me at RARM, where I’m doing a giveaway of HOW TO MARRY A ROYAL HIGHLANDER (and also one of my VK Sykes contemporary romances).

I’m also doing my regular gig at The Jaunty Quills today, talking about crazy, horrible, or hilarious summer jobs. Stop by for a chance to win a copy of my latest VK Sykes book, SUMMER AT THE SHORE.

See you around the blogosphere!

Celebrating Romance With Readers!

March 15, 2016August 1, 2014 by VanessaKelly

Today marks the start of a month-long celebration of romance novels sponsored by Bobbi Dumas, who reviews for Kirkus and NPR. She’s gathered together a stellar collection of romance writers like Kristan Higgins and Katharine Ashe to share their thoughts on the romance genre, why readers love it, and why it’s important. In fact, Kristan and Katharine kick things off today with two short and very engaging essays on heroes and on how romance novels can spark revelations in the reader. You really should check them out! Katharine and Kristan are both hosting contests too, so be sure to enter.

Just click here for Read-a-Romance Month’s homepage.

Speaking of great romances to read, Katharine’s new book, I Adored A Lord, is out this week. She’s one of my favorite historical romance novelists, and her books are always at the top of my TBR list. AND her book is currently on sale in digital for only $3.79, which is pretty darn amazing. You’ll definitely want to check it out!

Happy reading!
