My name is Erica and I'm obsessed with reading and have been for as long as I can remember. As a child reading was encouraged more than watching TV and so the love affair began long ago.

    Evening, Erica,

    I just finished my first hand-made book trailer for Meet Me in Paris. I used my Sims to act out the parts of my characters. Hard work, but they're so funny. You should check it out on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gpX19KM8jc or on my site at http://www.scribble-scribble.com/books/books.htm I plan to make more Sims movies, so I'd love to get feedback.

    Hey,

    Not too sure if I told you, but my latest Harlequin Kimani, Meet Me In Paris is a September release. It’s been getting good reviews on Amazon and was listed as one of Harlequin’s Top 10 Best Road Trip Reads for the Summer. Romantic Times gave it 4 stars, so you might want to give it a try. Simona.

    Here is a blurb about my new book—ON THE CREST. Comments welcome: Tige Anderson goes through a series of emotional, physical and psychological adventures in this coming-of-age roller coaster, balancing his life among his romantic trysts, his ambitions, his humanity and his gay best friend. The one thread that connects all of the people in his life is the fact that the cycle of life puts everyone through a series of ups (‘on the crest’) and downs. Whether an individual winds up on top of the wave or under it depends on them. Please let me know if you would like to read the prologue. Tony Carmine.

    Howdy,

    Sorry I’ve been away so long. I’ve been entirely toooooo busy.

    Anywhooo, in your Black Romance group, we’ll be reading Protect and Serve by Gwyneth Bolton next and start discussing it on 10 Oct. Now go ahead and purchase Gwen’s book now, even if you plan on reading it late, because it is a Harlequin book and you know they can be difficult to find.

    Have you heard about all the fun we had at the 2008 Romance Slam Jam? Well that’s NOTHING compared to what’s coming in 2010.

    It’s Romance Slam Jam’s Crystal Anniversary! Our theme is Back to the Future with Rochelle Alers as our keynote speaker! Everyone is Welcome To Join the Romance Slam Jam Crystal Anniversary Celebration Cruise departing from Miami, Florida, Sunday April 10th, 2010. We will be embarking on the five day Carnival Cruise to Ocho Rios, Jamaica and Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands on the “Destiny” Fun Ship.
