Deb

Temptation Thursday/Promo Packs

Hello everyone my name is Deb; I have been a lover of romance since my first book at the tender age of 13. That is why I have been reviewing for over 7 years.

I am quirky, passionate. I am a wife to a wonderful man and mother of 2 girls.

Hobbies for me besides reading include scrap booking, card making, spending a lot of time outdoors with my family.

I am honored to be a part of the Diva team.



Em Epe

Review Editor

I write contemporary erotica. Falling in love is the very best feeling, that's why I enjoy romance. I love the craft of the written word. I live in the northwest in a small town, work for the local city hall, have three children (two grown) and enjoy riding dirt bikes. I'm a huge fan of eBooks and the options that continue to grow with them. My favorite color is red, I love seashells and I think rules are meant to be bent!



Jaime Samms

Submission Coordinator

I'm married and the mother of two fine young children. I home school, work for part of the year, and write whenever I can squeeze it in there. I've sold one short story thus far, and intend to sell more, and am working on my first novel, a fantasy romance with a twist. You can find more of my contemporary writing at my blog, dontkickmycane>

She enjoys reading just about any sub-category of romance she can get her hands on so long as there is a happily ever after to be found at the end. She loves traveling with the characters through their journeys and resolutions. After deciding that a career in law wasn't for her, she has just started a brand new company and she is currently working on her very first erotic romance novel.

Amy

Hi there! I am Amy, and I live in Northern Indiana with my husband, three sons and one daughter. I spend my day being a stay-at-home mom, working part time from home, shuttling the kids from practice, doctor’s visits, school, and anything else four kids under the age of 10 feel the need to do!

In my spare time (thank goodness for school days and naps!), I love to bake and read. Thank goodness I have a patient husband, because when we got married 12 years ago, I couldn’t cook, bake, or do much of anything in the kitchen! Now my passion in the kitchen really is making all kinds of baked goodies, cookies, pies, cheesecakes, the works. I love to read all kids of different genres, but I really love erotica, BDSM, anything dark and edgy!




Autumn

I'm a stay at home mom and avid reader. When not chasing down my two munchkins, doing housework, or reading; I enjoy gardening and various crafts. I'm also a dinosaur nut; I watch any tv show about pretty much anything prehistoric.

Dakota hails from the home state of the Hawkeyes, corn and pigs. Surrounded by her kid's laughter and the corn fields, she splits her time between reading and crafting her stories. She enjoys writing romances and sci-fi/fantasy stories. She is a romantic at heart, so even the sci-fi stories have an underlying romantic plot. She started writing at the tender age of fourteen and hasn't stopped since, although it is a mystery to most where she finds the time to write. Aside from being a full time wife and mother, she also works the dreaded overnight shift at a clothing company. To learn more about Dakota, visit her website:

She is owned by two cats although they let her play with the rabbit. She is not a writer but does have five works in progress, she's more comfortable talking about or reading books then she is writing them but sometimes the characters won't leave her alone.



Jennifer

Hello! I am Jennifer and I LOVE to read almost anything, but my passion is hot vampire/paranormal romance novels. I have shelves of books, boxes of books, and still can't pass them by when I get to Wal-Mart or the local used bookstores!

I am a work at home housewife, married to my childhood friend, whom I could not stand when we were growing up but now is the light of my life and don't know how I would live without him. We're from South Carolina and have no children, but share our home with 5 furballs and a tweetybird that we love as we would any child of our own.

When not reading I enjoy cooking, photography, online gaming, and digiscrapping, and babysitting my adorable neice and nephew.

I am thrilled to be a part of Dark Diva Reviews.

In addition to the human occupants, the house also is home to four dogs (two Lab mixes, one Rottweiler and one Beagle) and two cats. In her spare time, she reads almost anything and loves to cook for her family and friends. She also dreams of being an author herself and writes both alone and with others. She is a stay at home mom and loves it--almost as much as she does being left to herself to lose herself in a good book. She loves romance, all subgenres and all heat levels. She looks forward to discovering new authors and new reads.




Kathy

My name is Kathy and I’m so excited to be here at Dark Diva Reviews. I’m married to a great fella who’s learned to put up with my idiosyncrasies; 25+ years will do that. We have four wonderful children only one of whom is still at home... for now. I’ve been babysitting from my home for 18 years or more and still enjoy the challenge of keeping young children busy... or is that I’m busy keeping children? :grin:

I’m an avid reader and have been as long as I can remember. I read just about anything, except for horror... my imagination tends to take over; I’m definitely not a fan. But my favourite genre is romance; be it m/m or m/f all I need is the HEA. Sometimes even a well-done HFN. Watching as two, or sometimes even three, people fall in love makes my world a lovelier place. Whether it’s erotic, paranormal, fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary or historical it’s all good.




Kimberly

Kimberly lives in South Carolina, with her husband, two step-sons, and three pom/shitz, Chewy, Chance and Hoss. She spends her time being a housewife, helping her mother in law, and playing taxi. She enjoys crocheting (loves making baby afghans), spending quiet time with her man, not to mention love to read and write stories of all kinds, and like most, the hotter the better.





Sherry

Hi I'm Sherry, and I am a readaholic of anything I can get my hands on with a special love of erotic romance. I own over 800 eBooks and two bookshelves full of paperbacks. After reading about them, I have a husband who has been fulfilling my erotic fantasies for 20+ years. Although I'm not an author nor do I want to be, I truly appreciate those who have that talent.



Tammy

Hi my name is Tammy. I live in Michigan. I am a mother of 4 grown girls, and a grandmother. I have enjoyed reading romance since the tender age of 15 years of age.
My favorite genres are Paranormal, Contemporary, and Erotica.




Tony B

As a reviewer for Dark Divas and a freelance editor of novels. I enjoy both facets of these jobs because, as a reviewer, it lets me not only see how other people write, but as an editor, the books actually help me in my own writing due to helping or editing other author’s work. Plus, in both jobs, I get a feeling of satisfaction when I can write a glowing review or when I see an author’s work finally published knowing I had some input into it.

I have a Myspace page. Stop by and visit sometime.
