An anniversary interview with Leah Braemel
by Livia Quinn January 27th, 2012 
It’s a week for anniversaries. On January 25, 2009, I interviewed Leah Braemel, my 
first critique partner, on the almost eve of her first published book, Private Property, which released on January 27th with Samhain Publishing. We met through a Margie Lawson online workshop on Deep Editing and became fast, long-distance friends. She lives in Ontario while I’m in bayou country – Louisiana. Back then she was working on a paranormal shapeshifter story, and I was working on a romantic suspense with paranormal elements. My how things change!

A Friday Visit with Joanna Chambers
by Alix Rickloff December 30th, 2011 
Today the Musers are happy to welcome Joanna Chambers for a visit in our guest chair to talk about her latest book, The Lady’s Secret just out from Carina Press. Joanna is a fellow Carina author, and I’m delighted she could take time to sit down with us.

Joanna always wanted to write. She spent over 20 years staring at blank sheets of paper and despairing of ever writing a single word. In between staring at blank sheets of paper, she studied law, met her husband and had two children. Whilst nursing her first child, she rediscovered her love of romance and found her muse. Joanna lives in Scotland with her family and finds time to write by eschewing sleep and popular culture.
So, with no further ado, pull up a chair, have some leftover Christmas fudge and a cup of your beverage of choice, and we’ll let Joanna take it away! Read the rest of this entry »
