Is anyone interested in having a self-pub/Indie promo group?

Is Your Book on my Reviews Page?

There are books (by Festival of Romance authors) that have been reviewed and can be seen on my Review Page @ http://francinehowarth.blogspot.com. I often post them in the first instance to my fun-writer blog (200 + followers) as well as the review page.

Also, if you're a self-pubbed Indie author, why not link up with the "Indie Witch" blog. You'll find the link in sidebar of either above blogs.

Love Scene from Male POV!

Strange questions, I know ...

Has anyone written a love scene from male POV? with exception of the gentlemen amongst us.
