Get Your New YA/Adult Romance Listed on USA Today! #ebooks

Each week I collect new release information for Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Time Travel romance for the Happily Ever After Blog on USA Today. I love doing this as it keeps me in touch with other authors and what is happening in the romance department. I handle published books from large houses all the way to boutique publishers. The only criteria is your book must have a romantic element.

I don't know about you, but I find myself confused by the different genres. Vampires will appear in paranormal then over in Fantasy. Books about angels pop up in Science Fiction and then again in Fantasy. Time Travel can and does appear in all genres from General Fiction to Paranormal. So, if you're not sure exactly what genre your latest release fits into, just send it and I'll figure it out.

Oh, and your novel must be a new release for the current week. To be more explicit my weeks run from Sunday to Saturday. So if your book was published this past Sunday through the week and into this coming Saturday, send me the book that week.  Sometimes, people send me books that aren't due out for a few months. I don't keep my e-mail around that long simply because I found myself deleting new release info by accident. 

To submit your work click here www.louanncarroll.com/usa-today-submissions.html or copy and paste the link into your browser. Now, to see your book go to www.usatoday.com/blog/happyeverafter. You can click on the link or copy and past into your browser. Lastly, you can Google USA Today Happy Ever After blog and that will get you to the right place as well.

Joyce Lamb is the blogger, creator, and caretaker of Happy Ever After. I can't even imagine the time and energy it takes to keep her blog up-to-date. Joyce is an award-winning romantic suspense author as well as a superb blogger. She is currently at work on her next novel, but I thought I'd share one of her romances below.

Blurb

Photographer Bailey Chase and reporter Cole Goodman only tolerate working with each other at a Southwest Florida newspaper. Cole knows Bailey's ex, and he's told Cole lots of lies about her. Not that Bailey cares. She's still healing from that disastrous relationship and has far more important issues on her plate: such as keeping her recovering drug addict brother on the right track as a single dad to his 6-year-old son.
When Bailey gets slightly injured during a mugging while on assignment with Cole, she's shocked that he sticks around to help her out. He's kind and warm and caring ... and when it soon becomes clear that the mugging wasn't random, he reveals a protective streak that quickly turns into far more.
Cole has never loved a woman who didn't let him down. His mother abandoned him as a child. His sister hasn't been there for her own kids. And his ex-wife did something he can never forgive her for. So he has no interest whatsoever in getting involved with Bailey Chase, a woman who already has way too much baggage. Except he can't seem to help himself. She's just ... so ... hot. And exasperating. And amazing.
Now, someone is after a photo in Bailey's possession, and he'll clearly stop at nothing to get it. Worse, it appears her brother's shady past is connected.

Cole and Bailey team up to crack this mystery before someone ends up dead. While they're at it, they let the sparks fly ...
