Thank you for dropping in to read my inaugural Snap, Crackle and Popping Blog. I hope you’ll make this a regular stop on your Tuesday travels into in cyberspace and engage in banter about books and writing. Today I will answer the oft-repeated question: “Sharon, why do you write about werewolves, Jinn (genies) and other weird things that go bump in the night?” This is analogous to asking mountain climbers why Mount Everest calls their name. My response: “Because they’re here, there and everywhere.”

Paranormal events have played a role in my life since childhood. I have always accepted this alternate reality that many others do not experience or recognize. Their disbelief doesn’t dismiss my psychic experiences: dreams that come true, that I think of someone–and that person calls, and that I knew my sister was pregnant before she did...Read more at http://sharonbuchbinder.com/blog/2010...

He was the reluctant heir to the throne of a desert kingdom.

She was a virgin queen living far away in the south.

A little bird told him of her beauty–he had to meet her.

A traveling merchant told her of his wisdom–she had to meet him.

Something greater than either of them conspired to bring them together. When they met, could there be any doubt they were meant for each other? But would duty to country prevail over their pledge to one another? Only time and love would tell.

Thus begins one of the greatest romances known to mankind: King Solomon and Queen Makeda of Sheba. To read more go to http://bit.ly/rtQ49v

It’s hard for me to believe that KISS OF THE SILVER WOLF is a year old today! The back story on this paranormal romance is that it actually took five years for me to give birth to it–from first putting the kernel of the idea onto the computer screen to countless revisions–and to numerous time-outs in a drawer. In fact, if not for my patient editor/midwife, Amanda Barnett, it might never have gotten out into the real world. She believed in my story and kept me going when I was discouraged and frustrated. Nicola Martinez is the talented artist who created the breathtaking cover for my story.

I have been humbled and overwhelmed by reader feedback and by the way people have connected with the story, because it is first and foremost about family–whatever form that takes, including shape shifters. I never anticipated that my little my werewolves meet X-files novella would still be in the top tiers of Kindle sales at this time. To thank my readers for a wonderful year, I’m giving away seven (7), yes, seven (7) e-copies of KISS OF THE SILVER WOLF today. All you have to do to enter this contest is to comment on today’s blog by MIDNIGHT tonight!
