I love social media. But I went through my whole "I love Twitter and connecting with authors" mini-schpeel the other day (maybe it was just yesterday... working nights really screws with your head).
I also love that beyond your normal social media (Twitter, Facebook, even a good Goodreads account will have authors connecting), there are additional avenues that help authors spread the word about their books. Beyond blogs like this one, there are a multitude of PR guys (....gals) out there who work with bloggers and authors -- while these PR ladies (in this case) don't push the books and authors on you, they certainly give you just enough of a taste to want to know more. And I love that.
I've been introduced to some new authors through InkSlinger; while Tara may not know me per se, I can certainly say that whenever I get a book through NetGalley, or an opportunity arises from InkSlinger directly, I get a bit excited in hopes that Tara will be the one emailing me back. I feel like she's "my peep", and she hasn't a clue. I keep meaning to email her every time a book account she's handled gets a blog from me, but I sometimes forget to link the post to Goodreads, let alone send a thank you email (which makes me feel a bit like a heel -- 'thank yous' are so very important).
So Tara, and the rest of you InkSlinger gals -- Thank You. I hope that someday if and when my books finally transfer from head to paper, that I can have you ladies working with me to get the word out. Slowly but surely.
...but I digress (I can be pretty good at random rants...) --
Today's post is about the super lovely THE ARRANGEMENT trio of books. Aren't the covers delish?
So, without further ado...
THE ARRANGEMENT: MISS BLACK part 2
ABOUT THE ARRANGEMENT: MISS BLACK PART 2
Miss Black met the
man of her dreams two days ago, the charming and devastatingly sexy Sean Ferro.
However, he didn't know that she was actually an escort working for Miss White.
the Madam of New York.
When Miss Black shows up for an escort service he requested, he storms out, unable to bear the thought of his new girlfriend being a whore. He soon comes to his senses and confesses his love for Miss Black.
However, events conspire that will try to force the two apart. When a figure from Sean's past threatens to expose Miss Black's secret to Sean, will it drive them apart? When Miss Black learns the secret of Sean's sexual appetites, will it cause her to leave him in disgust? And will Miss Black's Madam allow her to quit this job so that she can be together with Sean?
Most important, will the calculating mind of Miss Black be responsible for the heartache of a broken engagement?

THE CHASE
ABOUT THE CHASE
Carly
Daniels grew up in the gutter and thought she’d been through the worst life had
to offer. She’s scraped and clawed her way to a college scholarship, but a
betrayal from her own mother shows her that life doesn’t always play fair. Sick
of scrabbling to make ends meet, Carly finds the answer to her need for quick
cash in a job as a high priced call girl for the mysterious and kinda scary
Miss Black.
Rocker Adam Kincaid isn’t interested in women. At least, he never has been before. But something about the determined, fresh faced young escort pulls at him. He tries to write it off as momentary insanity, but when fate drops the scrappy, sexy brunette in his lap, he rethinks his position.
Adam does what any sane, hedonistic rock star would do... he kidnaps her. His goal?
Chase her down, no matter her preconceptions of him...
Chase her down, and make her his.

Lauren
Hawkeye/ Lauren Jameson never imagined that she’d wind up telling stories for a
living… though when she looks back, it’s easy to see that she’s the only one
who is surprised. Always “the kid who read all the time”, Lauren made up
stories about her favorite characters once she’d finished a book… and once
spent an entire year narrating her own life internally. No, really. But where
she was just plain odd before publication, now she can at least claim to have
an artistic temperament.
Lauren
lives in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada with her husband, toddler, pit
bull and idiot cat, though they do not live in an igloo, nor do they drive a
dogsled. In her nonexistent spare time Lauren can be found knitting (her
husband claims that her snobby yarn collection is exorbitant), reading anything
she can get her hands on, or sweating her way through spin class. She loves to
hear from her readers!
THE SEDUCTION
ABOUT THE SEDUCTION
Revenge is a dish
best not served …
Zach Anders swears to get revenge on Sean Ferro for hurting his sister. The best way to accomplish his goal? Hurt someone close to him in return.
No one can get near Ferro’s on again - off again fiancée - so Zach sets his sights on the next best thing, the woman Sean considers family, the girl who grew up next door, Chloe Reynolds. The plan seems simple -- get close, find her weak spot, exploit it and walk away.
Then Zach meets Chloe and he falls hard. And fast. How can he use her for revenge when he wants to keep her for himself?

N.Y. Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Carly Phillips has
written over 30 romance novels with contemporary characters and small town
settings that today’s readers identify with and enjoy. She’s a writer, a
knitter of sorts, a wife, and a mom to two daughters (16 and20!) and two crazy
dogs (a 1 year old Havanese named Brady and a 4 year old wheaten terrier named
Bailey). In addition, she’s a Twitter and Internet junkie and is always around
to interact with her readers. Carly lives in Purchase, New York and would love
for you to like and follow her on the ‘Net!

Now... I'm a huge Carly Phillips fan, so I'm pretty excited about her contribution to this lovely trio, but THE CHASE seems like it's right up my alley.
Which one are you excited for?
