For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in the palace and compete for the heart of the gorgeous Prince Maxon.

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.

Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself- and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.

Showcase Sunday #4

Hello and welcome to Showcase Sunday. Inspired by Pop Culture Junkie and the Story Siren, the aim of Showcase Sunday is to highlight our newest books or book related swag and to see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, bought in bookshops and downloaded onto eReaders each week. For more information about how this feature works and how to join in, click here.

This week was a pretty good week, I got a few kindle books and then I went to a great book signing at Joseph Beth Book Store, which has become my favorite book store now.  Well I went to the one in Rookwood OH and got to meet the very funny Meg Cabot.  She was amazing and I will be doing a post later all about it, but I got something other than my book and it signed by her.

That is a huge poster that will be framed and put on my wall, its signed and personalized as well.  So very excited!!! Like I said Meg was so funny as she told us stories about how her books came to be.

Do you listen to music while you write, or do you prefer quiet?

I must have music on in order to write. The silence is deafening and I start to feel like the walls are closing in on me. Seriously, it sounds crazy, but it’s true. I have several playlists on my iPod that I use depending on the type of book I am working on at the moment.

Blog Tour: Summer Confection Guest Posts

Alright, its time for some guest posts! Today I have all three amazing authors from Summer Confection with us. 

Why did you write a light, fluffy, BDSM romance story first? by Estelle Mars

For the anthology light and fluffy worked best. I’ll be doing enough hard core in my next three novellas that I didn’t want to shock my fans. I felt easing them into it was a better idea. Also so many readers don’t think about the romance in the lifestyle. Yes, it’s about domination, but that doesn’t mean there is no love. Love is one of the most powerful emotions there is. Whether it’s the love of domination or submission or love of the person you’re committed to. There is always love somewhere. 

You’ll notice I said committed to and not contracted to. I say that because there are couples who don’t use a contract, or they once did, and now their contracts are verbal.

Do you think you can tell a BDSM couple walking down the street? Bet not. Chances are you know someone in the lifestyle who doesn’t openly admit it to a vanilla person. It could be anyone from your neighbor to your boss. Don’t try to label people. You may find yourself wrong repeatedly.
