December 28th, 2009 — Reader Highlights
We have a mystery reader with us today, hi there! Welcome to Love Romance Passion. Whoosh! Zoom! Uh! I’m sorry; our reader is flying around the room. Let’s just begin without her, for now. This reader throws potion bottles when entering contests, and flies around on a besom while blogging. Some authors refer to her as WW.
She drinks way too much coffee, and wonders why Folgers hasn’t officially named her the largest consumer in the world. The library is her second home, her haven if you will. This woman considers herself an (EOR) Equal Opportunity Reader. Nothing “offends” her. In fact, certain subject matter which cause hypertensive meds to work triple-time in certain individuals, simply have no effect on her sensibilities.
Our reader has a bookshelf which contains classics, young adults, historicals, regency, eroticas, paranormals, time travels, romantic suspense, and a few others crushed beneath the above aforementioned. Her categories are hidden strategically in key areas of her SUV.
This blogger/reader/reviewer may remind you of Batman’s character Two-Face. When flipping a coin to tales, she decides to read paranormal romance. Here are just a few of her favorite paranormal romance authors: Michele Hauf, Emma Holly, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Lynsay Sands, Gena Showalter, and Donna Lea Simpson.
If fate decrees the coin should land on heads, this mystery reader will read romantic suspense. Some of her favorite romantic suspense authors are: Nina Bruhns, P.C.Cast, Delores Fossen, Susan Kearney, Sheryl Lynn, Leigh Riker, and Darlene Scalera.
This lady loves Nancy Drew PC games, James Bond movies, and Mystery Dinner shows.
Keira hears the radio blaring from our reader’s flying besom. Here’s an announcement from Ms. Unknown.
Hi, LRP readers! For my fellow sleuths out there, look for these upcoming 2010 releases. They’re sure to satisfy your romantic suspense sweet tooths, and give you a romance to boot. Criminal Deception by Marilyn Pappano, Dead Again and Dead Double by Tracy Cooper-Posey, and Black Magic by Cherry Adair.
Cherry Adair deserves special mention, you should really see this author’s website. It is the “best” website ever for suspense fans. I really feel like an agent when I visit. http://tflac.com/
Keira, I love visiting your blog site! There’s so much to see and read. Sorry I missed most of my own reader highlight, but you don’t have any parking for witch brooms. I did want to mention, that I consider myself to be a paranormal suspense witch…er, queen, sorry.
Any guesses, as to who our mystery person is? Scroll down to find out.
Lower.
No, sorry, just a little lower.
Answer: Susan S., a.k.a. Witchy Woman, and our very own Paranormal/Suspense Queen!

October 30th, 2009 — Demon, Guest Blogger, Paranormal, Supernatural, Vampire, Werewolf
by Susan Sigler, guest blogger
What do you think about, when someone mentions the term Halloween? We usually conjure thoughts of haunted houses, scary costumes, and lots of candy. Now what if you were to intermingle scary with romance, what comes to mind? We think about paranormals, exactly!
I find paranormal romances have an appeal, to which I’m powerless to resist. Here is what I consider my top 10 best paranormal romances. These are books, which I refuse to part with. If you’ve read any from my list, feel free to post a “boo.” Any readers who’d like to add your own paranormals to my list; please do. It would be wonderful to hear suggestions to add to my TBR/TBB list. Here’s my list, grab some candy corn, and enjoy!
