I love the active voice that most of the Samhain books have. In fact, now I'm reading books from other publishers (ebooks and paper) and wishing they used more active voice.

It's great to hear that there is a market for humorous paranormal romance. Woo hoo! I would so rather see more snark than dark. It seems as if every paranormal nowadays is Dark This or Dark That... Why does everything have to be dark? I don't need a book. I think it only fair to leave those for the readers. But if I were to win, you betcha it'd be funny :) Cheers Arianna Thank you so much for stopping by, Laurie. It’s great to hear that there is a market for humorous paranormal romance. Woo hoo!

And thank you Laurie for visiting Inks! BTW, Scythe by Inks own MK Mancos sounds fabo!! I could be partial, then again, maybe not haha. Loves you MK! I'm actually a bit shocked you don't toss books after one page. I've heard so many horror stories about editors ditching a book after one paragraph and so on. Whew! I'm glad not all editors are like that. Again, so glad you dropped by! And thank you Lara for conducting such a wonderful interview. Wow, great interview! And thank you Laurie for visiting Inks!

The two books I found most interesting were In Plain Sight by Marie Harte or Scythe by MK Mancos. Hmm the former I might have to purchase anyway. I have a thing for wings ;0) Thanks for taking time out to give us a little insight into your thought process while reviewing submissions.

I got some of my answers. I got some of my answers... Whooohooo... (Laurie, you don't know me so just ignore my enthusiasm, people have had to turn off daily emails for postings on our Inker's board because of me ;> ) Anyway, I'm so glad you're here and I get to talk to you :> OK... just so I don't forget and I'm entered, I'd like to read Scythe by MK Mancos. Thank you! Down to the nitty gritty. (By the way, I didn't like and was totally disappointed in Half-Blood Prince also... writing wasn't up to par and editing made things drag and what's up with CHANGING THE IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE BOOK ( a fire destroying the Wesley's home... where the big first scene in the next book happens... who DID NOT do their homework?)? Don't get me started on the hiding of the book and the deudom that was NEVER SHOWN. Okay, sorry. Just talk me down.) Onto other things... What makes an author's voice appealing to you?
