I'm so excited to be part of the celebrations around the release of Black Widow Bride. It was a fabulous book and I can't wait to see what Tessa comes up with next!

Since this party is all about new beginnings, dreams and changes, I thought we'd send some good karma out into the universe and talk about wonderful new-to-us authors. Who's been your greatest find in the past few months?

Yummy new discoveries aside, have you recently read an author or a genre/sub-genre you wouldn't normally? And if you did, what was it that led you to dip your toes into unfamiliar waters?

I've had a great reading year so far. I've read historicals, thrillers, category romances, paranormals, fantasy and even picture books! (Trust me, Diary of a Worm is totally worth it!). In terms of something different, I would probably pick Stephenie Meyer's Twilight. It's a young adult book and I rarely venture into that territory. I'm so glad I did with Twilight. It was an amazing read. As to what drew me to it - I read a review that quoted the backcover blurb at the top. Once I read that blurb, I had to read the book!

Okay, now it's your turn! I'll pick a winner from everyone who leaves a comment. Up for grabs is a signed copy of my Feb Sil Desire - Bound By Marriage. If you already have that, you can take your pick of any of my other five Sil Desire titles.
