Lucinda Betts

The Road to Romance just gave MOON SHADOW a “Reviewers Choice Award”! They loved it! I posted the last two paragraphs of the review on my review page for MOON SHADOW, but the highlights are this:

MOON SHADOW is one of the best fantast erotic books this reviewer has read this yeat. Ms. Betts in an author who has stepped into an elite class of writers that display a talent to craft novels that are profoundly different and of a unique caliber of writing. That is why MOON SHADOW is a recommended read and one every fantasy erotic lover needs to purchase.

Thanks so much Janalee Ruschhaupt! This is the first time any of my stories have won an award like this!

I just found my first review of MOON SHADOW, and I couldn’t be happier about it! Angle at Romance Junkies says, “Lucinda Betts weaves together a story of magic and erotica that will keep the readers fanning. Esmenet is a great character and I love her upbeat and wild attitude. Gage on the other hand is mysterious and has a sensuality that will curl your toes. The love scenes are full of sizzling encounters and there is heated action throughout the book. Lucinda Betts is definitely going on my list of great authors and I will be on the lookout for more of her work in the future.”

I haven’t made a page for MOON SHADOW’s reviews, yet. I better get on it!

I ran a contest at the Joyfully Reviewed chat last Thursday asking readers to send a holiday joke and a “walks into a bar” joke. I had to test the jokes on my girl friends, and I have the results. Becky won a copy of PURE SEX. This was the winner for the “Walks into the Bar” joke:

A man walks into a bar and starts pouring down the beers. Burp. Having had one too many, the man was beginning to display an ugly side. An unescorted female sat down beside him and he whispered to her, “Hey! How about it babe? You and me?” As she got up to move, he said loudly, “Honey, you sure look like you could use the money, but I don’t have an extra two dollars.” She looked back and replied just as loudly, “What makes you think I charge by the inch?”

Congrats, Becky!

Danny had the winning holiday joke, although I have to say, I could’t remember all 20 items on the list after the first martini! Congrats Danny! Danny won a cover of NIGHT SPELL.

Five ways to confuse Santa Claus

1. Instead of milk and cookies, leave him a salad, and a note explaining that you think he could stand to lose a few pounds.
2. While he’s in the house, go find his sleigh and write him a speeding ticket.
3. Leave him a note, explaining that you’ve gone away for the holidays. Ask if he would mind watering your plants.
4. While he’s in the house, replace all his reindeer with exact replicas. Then wait and see what happens when he tries to get them to fly.
5. Dress up like the Easter Bunny. Wait for Santa to come and then say, “This neighborhood ain’t big enough for the both of us.

Jennifer won an honorable mention with a funny pirate joke. I’ll send her some bookmarks and cover flats!

Today “Joyfully Reviewed” is hosting a chat for all of the Aphrodisia authors. I’ll be there from 12-2, EST. I’ve spent the morning getting my excerpts ready. I cant beleive how many I have to post! Come join us as www.joyfullyreviewed.com. Joy and Melissa rock!

Congrats to Rachael from NJ who won a copy of NIGHT SPELL during the Writerspace chat! She was a generous soul and asked to have her book autographed to her friend. I love generosity—she doesn’t know it yet, but I sent her two copies so that both she AND her friend can have a copy. Yey! Santa might have added another gift ot two, too!

Tonight Writerspace is hosting their monthly chat with Aprodisia authors. BadBarb will be moderating tonight, which means it promises to get rowdy! Be there tonight at 9:00!
