Hey, Friends! I'm very excited today because this is the first content post I've done of 2013! I'm going to try to post at least once a week if I can!

So I thought I'd talk about NA today (since it's what I write ;D), but more specifically interracial romances!!! Why you may ask? Well, my new adult contemporary romance, The Space Between is an Interracial Romance, or IR for short!

My IR Novel!

My heroine, Lacey, is from the West Side of Chicago. She's  biracial (black and white) and rocks a killer pair of pink pumps :D. She also gives her hero Drake, who's from the North Shore of Chicago, a run for his money, which makes for some interesting conflict!

Why did I decide to write a new adult IR? Well, I wanted to write a contemporary about a subject I knew pretty well. I have many friends in IR relationships and I'm in one as well.

With this story, I wanted to share a snapshot into the life of two people from very different worlds, and the things they go through in order to stay together, and well, The Space Between was born.

I also wanted to broaden the range of NA contemporary out there a bit. Interracial romances are very hard to find in any category (YA, NA, or Adult), but I did find a great NA one last year. It was a very unique IR called, I Loved You First by Reena Jacobs.

 This book is about a biracial student who falls for her gay best friend. This book was great and I was so happy to see the scope of NA broadened by it. 

Since then I have searched for more IR's, but couldn't really find much, and also found it hard to find the exact type I was looking for. I wanted a fun, flirty read that at the same time dealt with some serious issues. "Space" was a challenge for me, but I feel I did what I set out to do!

Now I ask you...

Have you read any YA, NA, or Adult interracial romances? 

And what are your general thoughts on why there aren't more of them out there? 

Are there any other issues in any category (YA, NA, or Adult) that could use some more exposure?

Loved to hear your thoughts!

The "Hunt" for 50 Facebook Likes!

So I made a little announcement a few weeks ago about being PUBLISHED!, and now there's so many things to do to get my new adult science fiction romance, THE CRIMSON HUNT, ready for publication.  I have to edit the book, discuss cover art, and...

Give out Swag!

That's right, peeps!  Another giveaway has made its appearance.  See, I have this problem.  I created an author page, but all you cool peeps are following my Twenty Something Fiction Writer page.  Well, to ease into the transition from writer to author, I'm throwing a giveaway!

I will give away an indie book (because I just love New Adult indies) when I get 50 likes on my author page...

That's not all!

I will giveaway another book when I get 100 likes...

Still not all!

I will giveaway yet another when I hit 150 likes...

Are you seeing a trend here?

For every 50 Facebook "likes" another book will be thrown into the mix.  I will stop giving out new ones at the 500 "like" mark.  So what does that mean???  Awesomeness for you!  Indie books are CHEAP my friends.  So much so, that it should be illegal because these books are stellar!  Here is the kitty that's up for grabs:

One person will get to pick from this trove of New Adult goodies.  You will get a book for every 50 "likes" of my author page.  The giveaway ends in 30 days!  So you don't have long, but if you work really hard at spreading the word, you could end up with a whole trunk (well not a trunk), but a crapload of awesome reads! 

Help me support these indie authors and help me get some "likes," my friends.  The only requirement to enter is to "like" my Facebook author page.  Everything else is extra entries.  Winner will receive Amazon Kindle eBook copies.

Have fun peeps!  Giveaway ends 8/6/12.

Oh, and if you do "like" my page, I promise you'll love it.  I'm pretty fun ;D

Hearts my followers :D
