Bookaholics Not So Anonymous

How many books do you have lying around? How many are stored on your computer or e-book reader? Take a moment to evaluate that, then ask yourself: Am I a bookaholic?

Rose Marie Contemplates the Blank Page

In the beginning there is a blank page. It’s such a simple thing, but very empty. It’s daunting. It’s scary.

And here you are, attempting to fill it with an idea that’s been floating around your head. How can you turn this blank page into a book? Is it even possible?

Blood Moon, IN PRINT May 27th

That’s right. Blood Moon, Book Two of the Moon Series will be available in print on May 27th. Finally, the continuation of Jason and Rose’s adventure in a tangible format!

This is my second novel in print. I love print books—the way they feel, the way the smell, the fact you can hold it in your hand. E-books are great and all that, but print books will always have a special place in my heart.

Now Blood Moon can sit on the shelf with Sweet Moon Dreams and I can gaze upon them fondly, proudly.

Hey, I've Read That Movie!

When I found out I was guest blogging here at Samhain, I had no idea what I was going to blog about. I racked my brain, trying to come up with some idea. Then, last week I went to see The Other Boleyn Girl in theatres and discovered there was something I wanted to talk about.

Books adapted for film.

How do you feel about books adapted for film? Have you ever come across one that was so horrible? How about one that was really good? Please leave a comment and let us all know!

Hunter's Moon, Book Three of the Moon Series, Available Now

It’s here! Hunter’s Moon is finally available in e-book from Samhain Publishing.

This is the third book in the Moon Series and further chronicles Jason and Rose’s journey. It’s been three years since the events in Blood Moon and things have gotten a lot hairier (pun intended) for the werewolf heroes. Jason has been having strange dreams and Rose, distraught by his obsession with the past, struggles to keep their relationship strong—which is soon becoming a losing battle.

The Joys of Rewrites

It’s been a long arduous journey—weeks, months, maybe even years in the making—but you’ve done it. You’ve finally finished your book. And whether it’s your first or your twenty-first, you know what has to be done next…

Rewrites.

Yes, I'm REALLY Published!

Sweet Moon Dreams, Book One of the Moon Series, will finally be available in print on October 30th…

And it’s about time!

No, I don’t mean that to sound ungrateful or impatient. I’m far from that…but I’m speaking for the other people out there. I’m talking about those who have been waiting for this book and have been asking me about it’s release.

And I’m talking about those who didn’t really believe me when I said I was published. I guess, to some people, being published in e-book format isn’t being “really” published.

About half of those asking me about my books in my everyday offline life didn’t believe I was published when the book came out in e-book March 27th. I would give them my spiel, telling them the book’s release date, that it was available in e-book and they would look crestfallen, or disbelieving.

“Maybe she’s not published after all…”

You know, that sort of thing. Well, now, I have tangible proof. Yes, people, I’m really and truly published and you can read the book for yourself.

This is my first ever print release and I am so happy, so excited. It’s my first “baby”. Sweet Moon Dreams will be available this Tuesday from Samhain Publishing, LTD and can be purchased at www.mybookstoreandmore.com, or you can try your favorite online bookseller, or visit your local chain bookstore and inquire.

And if you find the book somewhere in stores, let me know! Or better yet, take a picture and send it to my email address at rosemariewolf AT gmail.com. I may just hold a contest for it…hmm…there’s an idea…

Much Love Always,
Rose Marie Wolf (who has gone to mull over contest ideas)
