My Two Favorite Words: On Sale!

I love getting anything on sale and since books are my favorite form of entertainment hearing about a sale will make me smile faster than just about anything. If books on sale make you happy enough to smile, you might want to check out two of my older Ellora's Cave titles.

Happy Reading!

Assassin’s Kiss- Erotic Romance/Paranormal/shapeshifter

By Paris Brandon

Copyright 2009

Ellora’s Cave

On Sale now!

Kira, a two-natured jaguar shifter in heat, desperate for sex with her own kind, is moments from death at the hands of a band of rogue shifters when another jaguar rescues her.

Sebastian, a lone Jaguar Council Assassin, knows he’s in trouble when he chooses to neglect his duty to kill the rogues he’s been following and instead rescues the female whose scent intoxicates him. He can’t resist the first touch of her naked flesh or her heated demands for the sex they both want.

But Kira is the forbidden halfling of prophecy, the key to a secret that the Jaguar Council will kill to keep and their ancient enemy, the Brotherhood, will kill to possess. Tortured by a desire that neither can deny, even sex with Sebastian becomes dangerous for Kira, they fight their way through a growing list of enemies for the chance to be together.

No Holds Barred- Erotic Romance/Older Woman/Younger Man

By Paris Brandon

Copyright 2009

Ellora’s Cave

This novella is on sale now at EC ($.99), Amazon and All Romance e Books (ARe)

Raphaella Dotti fights the urge to run when the handsome, sexy artist she can’t forget tracks her down after a one-night stand to celebrate her fortieth birthday. Charmed into a year of long-distance, Sunday morning calls, she agrees to celebrate her next birthday with him, exploring all her fantasies in a week of no-holds-barred, anything-goes sex.

Jake doesn’t understand why anyone would suggest that Ella diet, get a nose job or change at all. She’s smart, funny and an artist’s dream. She’s also the challenge he’s been looking for his entire life. He’s determined to fulfill every one of Ella’s desires and convince her that she’s the woman he wants, forever. It’s all about trusting herself…and him. Because losing Ella isn’t an option.

Beyond Covers and Categories: Utilizing Book Tags

A beautiful cover is a great way to attract my attention and a wonderful blurb will have me wanting to read an excerpt but if you’ve ever worked in a bookstore or library you know the importance of having to categorize a book so that customers or patrons will be able to find their favorite romance, mystery, thriller or horror story.

But what if a book contains multiple elements? Libraries and brick and mortar stores have the problem of deciding where to physically shelve a book that might contain more than one genre but with online sites the use of tags provides yet another clue that allows the reader to see whether the paranormal romance they’re looking at includes comedy, mystery, horror or suspense elements.

All of my published books are erotic romances but a couple of them could also be described as action/adventure, mystery and/or suspense. I have no doubt all of them would be shelved in the erotic section of a physical book store but online, the tags that readers give them allow a broader description and I believe a much better idea of what to expect.

As a reader, have you checked the tags on Amazon or ARe or any of the other sites that encourage tags to see if a book might interest you? Have you ever tagged a book that you liked? What about authors? Do you think having readers tag your books helps potential readers become future fans?

As an author who hasn’t been promoting as much as I probably should, I’m grateful for the expanded coverage. You can find the tags for “Assassin’s Kiss”, my first paranormal shape/shifter novel at several places these days and if they make your dress fly up, you’ll be happy to know that they’re on sale at Ellora’s Cave ($.99), Amazon and All Romance e-books (ARe) ($1.49).

And for a little something extra, I’ll leave you with the video that I made for “Assassin’s Kiss”. Once again, many thanks to Les Byerly for the beautiful cover that I continue to ogle:). Until next month,

Happy Reading,

Paris Brandon
