I don't do gender roles

What prompted this blog? A rather demanding question from a beta reader regarding my book Song of the Fairy Queen. Why, she asked, is she going?She meant Gwenifer, the Queen, who in the beginning of the book runs to defend the stairway to give her husband the King time to reach and defend their son. She went for two reasons, because it made sense for her to go and it furthered the plot. Oh and I hate screaming helpless women who let their husbands and children get shredded because they…See More

A Simple Guide to Creating a Basic Book Trailer

So, you want to create a book trailer/video, but you don’t have a lot of money to spend? Thanks to some basic computer software that might already be on your computer – if you have a reasonably current version of Microsoft Windows-called Windows MovieMaker or Windows Live Movie Maker, it’s fairly easy to do. (Mac’s have something similar, but you’ll have to look for it.)However, be prepared to spend at least several days on it. Yes, I said DAYS. Look down this page. If this looks daunting…See More

Promotions - Book Trailers

How do you feel about them? I've been requested to view some and I've made some myself, BUT.... The questions is, do they have value. How many of you have watched them? What do you think of the ones you've seen (not just mine...)

Profile Information

Favorite Book
To Kill A Mockingbird
About Me:
I'd like to borrow a phrase from a favorite author and tell you I'm five foot two, blue-eyed and blonde, all the rest is likely to change without notice. A jack of all trades, my heart belongs to writing. Classic fantasy is only one of many genres in which I write, including romance and suspense.
Under the pseudonym of V. J. Devereaux I'm the author of five erotic romance novels.

Hi Valerie, I'm so glad to run into many friends here ~waving~

LOL Always a plus when I review something. I am looking forward to reading this. Thanks!!!

Please do, self published is fine. I only require the books be published. Not how *grin*
At 9:33am on March 28, 2011, Barbara Mazzuca said…

I just did. I notice there have been quite a few case's and it seems they are trying to stay on top of it. So I am sticking around a bit longer.

If you ever want to send anything  my way for reviewing don't hesitate to let me know. No pushing I hate that. I'm not out to steal you hard earned stuff.

See this spammer helped me find an author and add a friend (yeah) and as you know the sea of authors and reviewers are full of sharks...*grin*

I really joined here to get ideas to help with my website and blogs, and hear about new authors work,  not to make anyone uncomfortable. It is a bit overwhelming.

Have a nice day Val

ok now I'm sure since I also review erotica, Demon's Kiss is on the list. If you are looking for reviewer please consider me. As soon as I get my kindle (my husband insisited I wait until my bday, because he'd already planned on getting it for me, their so cute somethimes *grin*). Demon's Kiss is on my list.

Fantasy and Erotica love it!!

Hi Val I just wanted to know if you get a lot of spam off of this site. I seem to and I noticed that you and i got spammed by the sameone today MaBar. I've been wondering about leaving this site but havent really been here for long and thought this time since I noticed I wasnt alone what they thought?

I am glad, because your books look quite inchanting,  I loved your trailer and since i review books these sound great. I will have to look further.

Thanks

That's what I thought about the groups.  I like reading some of the posts so far, but it does take a bit of time.  Poconos? It's very pretty there.  Too much snow, thought. lol
