***F.Y.I***

Zondra Hughes wrote the sizzling new novel, The M.O.O.D. Lounge

 

How low will women go for ‘love’?

Some women will hit rock bottom; but others will continue to dig. This is a tale about the diggers—and their ultimate redemption.

Three emotionally wounded women: Eva James, an entertainment publicist in love with her only client; Fawn LaFollette, an accidental porn star; and Drusilla Vidal a prosecutor in lust with a convict; share an embarrassing secret: Their men are literally sexing them stupid. Time and again the women get entangled in compromising positions, erotic mishaps and sexual indiscretions, that is, until a renegade sex therapist offers the ultimate plot for revenge: Sexual independence. Armed with their battery operated boyfriends in tow, the women join forces to create Multiple Orgasms On Demand, and their official playhouse, The M.O.O.D. Lounge, is born. Part group therapy, part adult toy party, The M.O.O.D. Lounge offers a first-class tour of decadence and delight. Welcome to The M.O.O.D. Lounge.

Come as you are. Come all you want.

    Q&A with Michele Scott Author for Berkley Prime Crime, Feb. 1st
    Who is Michele Scott?

    Author of the new Wine Lover’s Mystery Series and Quarter Horse Mystery Series for Berkley Prime Crime,
    Michele Scott started writing long before she published.



    While her interest in writing spanned childhood and resulted in studying journalism at USC, it took eight complete manuscripts and 12 years for her to sell her debut novel, Murder Uncorked. Then, in ten months, she sold another five books, blending both her life-long love of horses and her experience in the wine distribution industry into two hot new series.

    Online Writers Groups Shalla Recommends:

    http://situationshalla.blogspot.com/

     

    Hi writers,

    As you know, I encourage all of you to join more than one online writers group. Many are free and each one has good things to offer.

    At the ShalladeGuzman Writers Group, we have very helpful Q&A’s.

    But writers need more. So, in the coming days, I will be recommending writers groups you may also like to join.

    For instance, like to know about Chick Lit? The Industry? What’s going on particularly in that market? There is an online chick lit group.

    Like to be in a group who writes Romance? Ask questions like, how to conquer writers block? How to find a title for your novel? Etc. There are groups for that too.

    I belong to over 2 dozen online groups and I highly recommend it. They’re usually free.

    Don’t like getting too many emails? Get them on Digest.
    (That way, you only get one email per group per day, or less)

    How to choose Digest instead of Emails?

    When you join the group, it will ask you if you like No Mail (I wouldn’t recommend this, because you might miss out on good info), Digest, or Daily Mail. Choose Digest.

    For the ShalladeGuzman Writers Group, since we usually only have informative emails, ie. Call-4-Submission, Conference, Contests etc. and since we’re only moderated one a week or so, you won’t be getting much email and when you do, they’re ones you can use, I would suggest getting us on Email and not Digest. (Makes sure you don’t miss out on our Q&A’s)

    Anyway, good luck writers. At the ShalladeGuzman Writers Group, we are all-inclusive, as long as the info is helpful to writers.

    Thanks,

    Shalla
