Q&A with KIMBERLY
KILLION

Q: What song do you put on when you’re driving in your car?

A: Currently, I’m totally addicted to the Musical Blades CD, Full Frontal
Piracy. That’s right “Pirate Music”. Imagine getting songs

year old daughter will soon die of mortification.

clearance and snatched them up because they perfectly match the Royal Stewart
plaid accenting my gown.

All day (Tuesday) it’s a celebration of romance authors – with a new guest author every 45 minutes from 9 am to 7 pm (EST). I asked 14 romance authors 6 questions  and they were kind enough to answer. At the end of each author’s blog is a link to click through to Kimberly Killion’s website where she is hosting a Sizziling Summer Contest. The prize?  A basket of “New to You Authors” which will include 16 of her ZEBRA sisters’ autographed books + a $25 B&N giftcard.

Don’t have time to read Shakespeare?  To busy to get through Ulysses?  Schedule too tight to get through Dante?  No worries, you can get the hyper cliff notes version from Twitterature.

What is Twitterature?  Well it’s from the root word Twitter – a micro-blogging site that allows you to speak your mind, discuss your views and give your opinions in 140 characters or less.  With such a small window, you’ve got to be brief, to the point, and it helps if you’re clever with the written word. There are thousands of people who are becoming experts at the art of the tweet.  But nowhere has the twitter concept been taken to the reductio ad absurdum as when two University of Chicago college freshmen sold their book idea Twitterature: The World’s Greatest…

California’s Governor is leading the way in the digital textbook evolution. Whether you’re in college and have to purchase your textbooks, or you’re in middle and high school and the state pays for them – textbooks aren’t cheap. According to the California Governor’s website, “The average textbook costs about $75 to $100 per student. For a school district with about 10,000 high school students, the use of free digital textbooks in just science and math classes could save up to $2 million dollars.”

While the switch from paper to digital is a money saver – what gets me excited is the ability to keep students current in a world that changes minute to minute. Providing students digital information allows them to have the most current information in science, math, history, and…

There’s an old show business saying of “leave them wanting more”.  That’s exactly what the first book in Barbara Freethy’s new Angel’s Bay series does.  I started reading this book earlier this afternoon and just turned the final page a few minutes ago.  By the tenth page I had forgotten about everything I had intended to accomplish today and found myself fully immersed in the lives of the residents of this small coastal California town, the mystery of a 150 year-old shipwreck and the possibility of angels in Angel’s Bay.   Though I am still enjoying the afterglow of a satisfying happy ending for the hero and heroine of this book, I want more – more…
