Live from the Romantic Times convention, Readers Entertainment Radio host, Sheila Clover English, interviews successful novelist L.A. Banks. For the first half of the interview, L.A. gets a chance to share a very dramatic and amazing TRUE story, not about her book, in which she meets none other than Mr. President Obama himself! After which she talks about some incredible new happening for her books and new comic book. It seems the sky is the limit for this author’s imagination… and the said imagination is already very interesting!
We feature Teresa Medeiros and “The Devil Wears Plaid” tonight on our show and what can I say? After it was all said and done, I think we covered men on horseback, men in golf pants and why in romance world when we say “bad boy” we actually mean “good guy”–and even I got confused! But Jamie Sinclair is still the hero I think our listeners will very much want to get to know!! After all, if anyone can make a heart-stopper of a hero (good or bad!) it’s Ms. Medeiros!
