Alluring Guest: Myla Jackson
Tuesday, February 27, 2007 13:15
One of the really nifty things about doing these guest weeks, is it allows me to discover authors I have never read before.
Really it is one of the things I love about anthologies, how you can generally get an author or two you read and try one or two new ones. Alluring Tales was great because it has such a large group of authors I have read and really enjoyed and I was able to find out more about the two I hadn’t read yet.
One of those author’s was Myla Jackson. Not only does she add a great tale to Alluring Tales but she has a some really interesting stories you should check out from Ellora’s Cave novel. Myla writes contemporary and paranormal. Before you groan, something to note is she won the RWA Golden Heart for Best Paranormal Romance in 2004!
She was paranormal before paranormal was cool. But I would be lying if I didn’t say the fact that she has a western coming out soon (an antho that includes her sister)makes me sqqqquuueee.
So sit back, pull up a chair and browse through her backlist. For an author who sold her first book in 2005, you have a lot to chose from. Best of all, they are ebooks. So you don’t even have to leave your home.
We will have an excerpt from her novella, Out of the Shadows, in Alluring Tales as well as her new Ellora’s Cave novel, Sex, Lies & Vampire Hunters . And of course we will have a Q&A and a contest because what is a guest author day without them?

All of yours make my fav list too, plus Chicago, Phantom and West Side Story. Have you seen any Broadway musicals? Always thought that Wicked looked like one I would enjoy.

I was fortunate enough to see Mamma Mia and The Producers on Broadway. Would love to see Wicked! I like a different twist on an old tale.

I am a big musical buff too. Love the soundtracks, especially Phantom’s. I tend to crank that one up nice and loud for road trips.

That’s what I like about musicals. You can actually hear and understand the words and sing along if you like! I love to sing along. Of course, that’s only when my husband isn’t in the car. He doesn’t LOVE to hear me sing. Sniff…
