Romance Novel TV and July Contest Winner!
When I first heard of Romance Novel TV, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But if you love romances, the interviews are just plain fun to watch. I have recently become a JR Ward junkie fan, and Romance Novel TV has several interviews with her about the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. 
There are also interviews with Nora Roberts, Sophia Nash, and a lot of my favorite authors to read. Check it out!
I also sweet-talked them into putting up an excerpt of The Warrior’s Touch on their books page, so take a look! By the way, I have determined that there is a little black cloud that hovers over me when it comes to Internet excerpts. I’m learning to develop a sense of humor about it. Every single Amazon excerpt, Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc. has been butchered. With the excerpt for Her Irish Warrior, the second line of the story was chopped off and dialogue was smashed together. We tried to get it fixed, but once it’s in The System, apparently it takes an act of God to change it. For The Warrior’s Touch, it’s a blood bath. There are missing lines, misspelled Gaelic last names, and sentences that make me think that there’s an evil copyeditor out there who really is having too much fun. 
So, please, if you run across the computer-corrupted versions, know that these errors are NOT IN THE ACTUAL BOOK, and it’s just glitches. My excerpt on my website and the one on Romance Novel TV are correct. But oh, it hurts my eyes to see what’s on Amazon. Chocolate consumed in vast quantities tends to help. 
Okay, so it’s time to announce the winner of the July contest…and the person selected is Barbara Brunson! Congratulations, Barbara! I’ll be mailing you an autographed copy of The Warrior’s Touch. Hope you enjoy it!
I took the above photo on a trip to the Aran Islands. One of the things I love about Ireland is all the stories waiting to be told. These are church ruins from about a thousand years ago. I can almost imagine the people, can’t you?

Melissa Mc Says:
Thanks for the link. I’ve never heard of Romance Novel TV before.
Leanne Says:
Michelle, sorry about the butchering.
Those who know your books or want to start reading them won’t care. I didn’t know about Romance Novel TV, so thanks. 
I love your pictures of Ireland. Have you ever wondered why it is a country like Ireland or Scotland, where most of my ancestors came from, a place you have never been, but you know it calls to you, and if you ever get to go, once your there it would feel like coming home again? 
Hope everyone has a fantastic day. 
Leanne

Leanne–that’s what I felt like when I first visited Ireland…like I belonged. It was the strangest feeling. Even though my ancestors are technically from England, I can’t escape the feeling that there must be Irish blood somewhere.

I think the various sites should be forced to fix their butchered excerpts.

Barbara Brunson Says:
Dear Michelle,
I just mailed an e-mail to you because I couldn’t figure out where I saw this section before. Now that I have found it, I will just send you another BIG thank you for picking me to receive your new book, The Warrior’s Touch. I never win anything and this was such a wonderful surprise to get an autographed copy! Thank you for your sweet note, and for writing your wonderful stories. You have a new fan, for sure. I will try to find some of the places in your blog and in the book when we are in Ireland. We leave in 35 days! Can’t wait!
Go raibh mile maith agat! (A thousand thanks!)
Barbara Brunson
