Welcome to Episode 1 of Conversations over Milk & Cookies hosted by Kindle Ninja. What is this madness, you ask?  It's my way of supporting authors and writers from the  Rave Reviews Book Club . For the entire month of April, I will be featuring the fine women and men that make up the Board of RRBC.  We interact with them everyday, directly through tweets, or indirectly through re-tweets, but we don't really know much about them. Their personalities really don't shine as much in tweets and re-tweets. For Episode 1, I managed to stalk  follow RRBC Secretary Marlena Hand ( @mlh42812 ) and convinced her to do a Q&A. She agreed without a fight. Let's get to know Marlena in more than 140 characters, shall we? * * *  +No ninjas were hurt in making this episode. KINDLE NINJA (KN):  Welcome to Conversations over Milk and Cookies . How do you like your cookies? Chewy? Crunchy? Crumbly? Something else? Chewy, fresh from ...

It's my honor to host Rave Reviews Book Club Spotlight Author of the Week: JANICE G. ROSS  JUMPING SHIP The year was nineteen seventy-five. Barren couple, Pearl and Edward Riley stumbled upon a newborn baby girl. Her cries could only be heard by a true mother, which Pearl immediately became. Bundled up with their new child, they discovered a parcel of artifacts and a scribbled note that read: Sakkara . Pregnant seamstress, Petrina Dugal, became a runaway at the age of twenty-six. She ran away from a brutish husband, Roger, and a well-loved South American home in Georgetown , Guyana ; at the heart of her rebellion – an enigmatic lover named Michael Chen. Pet and Mikey, as they became affectionately known, allowed love to blossom in front of her police officer husband and an intrusive community. Were they not aware of the dangers? Or did the pursuit of love trump obligations? Sakkara Riley grew up with two loving parents – adoptive parents to be exact. She...

Two Reviewers, One Book: The Winged Turban

By ChaoticNinja
Image
  Welcome to TWO REVIEWERS, ONE BOOK.  Once in a while, I invite a reviewer, a blogger, an author, or a random character to sit with me in this very comfortable couch and share our views (opposing or otherwise) on a chosen book that caught our fancy. My review partner for today is   Leisl Kaberry .  She’s the author of the Titanian Chronicles Series . The book that intrigued us is   ' The Winged Turban '  by  J oshua Grasso . Synopsis Beatrice is the victim of an arranged match to the Duke of Saffredento, who hastily abandons her to an estate full of forgotten traditions and curses. When the portrait of a strange woman begins turning up in the house, she summons the great sorcerer, Hildigrim Blackbeard, to investigate. The portrait, it seems, has traveled through time to find her—and bring her back by any means necessary. For she can no longer be Beatrice of Saffredento, but a young woman who died two-hundred yea...

What #PUSHTUESDAY CAN DO to authors and members

By ChaoticNinja

#PUSHTUESDAY is one of the brilliant ideas of  Rave Reviews BookClub governing body (I call them the Jedi High Council – Nonnie calls them The Gladiators – either works).  Every Tuesday, a lucky member is selected and gets massively pushed, shoved, and propelled for a full 24 hours in social media sites (primarily, but not limited to, Twitter). The “pushing” is a show of colossal support from members and such show of force has done wonders to authors’ bottomline (whether it be sales or ranking). Whilst we have different criteria on how success is measured, I must say that IN THIS CASE, the measure of success of such exercise (the PUSH) is in authors’ sales rankings. Why? Because it’s easily verifiable if you are actually paying attention. A case in point. Prior to the push, Author A languishes at the bottom ranking just over the millionth mark, and risks sinking lower. It’s heartbreaking, isn’t it? Then comes #PUSHTUESDAY. After 24-hours of tweets and re-tweets....
