In addition to sharing his experiences and latest teasers, Mike has generously agreed to provide a free e-copy of LUST, MONEY AND MURDER, BOOKS 1, 2 & 3 for one reader.

Interview with Sandy Wolters, Paranormal Romance Author
I am delighted to have my Twitter and Goodreads friend, Sandy Wolters, with me today to talk about her latest book, A BROTHER’S LOVE. Author of three books, Sandy has been an avid reader for years. To her husband’s dismay, she has bookshelves full of books, rooms full of books, boxes full of books. Her cars have books in them. About two years ago, her husband gave her the dream gift, a Kindle. It was love at first sight and her first foray into the world of ebooks. While she still has books everywhere, she no longer takes ten or twelve books with her when she goes on vacation. The only thing she needs is her Kindle. It never leaves her purse. In her life prior to becoming an author, she was a Legal Assistant/Office Manager for a wonderful local estate planning attorney (no criminals that she knows of!) Sandy and her husband, Michael, raised two beautiful, strong women so that’s who she writes about. The women in her books are strong individuals that have moments of weakness and frailty to work through.
Sandy has generously agreed to provide a free e-copy of A BROTHER’S LOVE for one reader. All you have to do is comment or ask a question at the end of the interview to be entered to win. To whet your appetite, check out her book trailer for A BROTHER’S LOVE at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lycg00...

Howard Hopkins – In Memoriam
Can we pause for a moment from our hectic, over-booked, fatigued, maxed-out, lives and remember what is really important?
We lost one of our own this month – an author of many books, our friend Howard. I didn’t know him outside our literary circle. Aside from social media and mutual support, Howard was one of many online writer pals who exemplified why we all gather here – community.
Death is hardest on those who are left behind. We take comfort in the legacy left behind, the memories we share, the essence of the energy that continues to surround us despite absence of physical body.
When someone passes without warning, without pre-illness, it’s that much tougher. We can grieve illness when someone is still living, and while we mourn the loss we had time to prepare. There is time to process, to tie up loose ends, and to say farewell. Sudden passing is without warning. It doesn’t come with a set of instructions. It’s inconceivable that someone would be there one minute, and simply not the next.
It is because of the finite life line we all share, the No Guarantee brand on every life that does not promise you a single breath past tomorrow, or the next hour, or the next minute, or second – that every breath must be a cause for celebration. What are you doing right now to celebrate that breath you just took?
Because we continue to have the privilege of breathing, let us honor Howard’s LIFE by honoring his work. This year, let’s each commit to read something Howard wrote (if you haven’t already) and post a review.
We are all extremely busy and that will not change. But let’s keep Howard in our thoughts this year, and not allow life to let us forget our ultimate purpose is to revere each second ticking by as a gift not to be squandered.
