I’ve joined a new marketing group comprised of Zumaya Authors
We are called (no idea where the name came from) Fellow Golden Rule Authors. We now have a blog some of us will be maintaining with writing info, life, any craziness that comes up, maybe even themes. The blog is called Mad Ten “It’s a Mad, Mad World – Writing Confessions of Ten Mad Authors . My assigned day is Thursday. (Thursday’s Child has Far to Go!) I honestly have no idea what the hey I will be putting up there – heck I have a hard enough time keeping up with this blog! – but we’ll see.
The ten authors (who are sometimes 8 and sometimes 5!) are in genres all across the board. So if nothing else, will bring some variety to readers looking for a taste of different things. 
Another thing we’re doing with the group is trying to boost each other by doing reviews, posting info, and highlighting members on a monthly basis. For February, we’re pushing Joan Upton Hall and Mayra Calvani. Both of them have new books that are being featured this month.
Joan Upton Hall – ‘Ghostly Tails From Americas Jails – Curl up with 36 stories, complete with photos, of historical hoosegows from all over the U.S. Each jail or prison is now a location for good guys like you to visit, transformed to museums, offices, a theater, even a B&B where the long-deceased sheriff locks up at night.
Mayra Calvani – Embraced by the Shadows – Against the exotic backdrop of Istanbul and San Juan, Alana is a young woman torn between a vampire she cannot resist, and a life she cannot understand. Endowed with her new preternatural powers, she sets out to reveal the identity of her mother’s killer… But is she ready to discover the truth?
Mayra is from Puerto Rico, like me! What are the chances of two Puerto Rican Spec Fic writers ending up with the same publisher? It boggles the mind! So it sounds exciting for this book to be set in San Juan. (Sigh – something else for the TBR pile! Wheeee!)
