    Top Chatters for the Month

    Because the person who gets the most comments in a month is not always the
    person who

    gets the most page views per month, I instituted the Top Chatter Award.
    This is the award for the person who receives the most comments. To win, a guest
    must have five or more comments (not counting the guest author’s). There can be
    up to three winners.

    This month’s winner is Susan V Vaughn, who took all three top spots.
    Romance Lives Forever features authors and new books. It has
    a blogger’s FAQ page with a downloadable guide and six optional interviews. Readers
    can follow via Google+, Networked Blogs, Linky Followers, email, an RSS feed, and
    there’s a blog button readers and authors can grab. Authors can share previous books.
    The blog uses author or publisher names as tags on posts, and author Twitter handles
    in the titles. The site is broadcast over Triberr with a potential reach of over
    3.5M readers via its Twitter-linked network. Twitter mentions are also gathered
    in several Paper.li ezines, giving the author additional opportunities for promotion.
    The Romance Lives
    Forever Paper.li ezine
    features only guest authors, and the day’s guest is on
    its front page every day.
    Each post is featured on the Romance Lives Forever Pinterest
    board within a few days after it goes live. http://www.pinterest.com/kayelleallen/romance-lives-forever-rlfblog/

    Lady of the Pier: The Ebb @FrostieMoss #RLFblog #romance

    Today’s featured book is The Lady of the Pier – The Ebb by Effrosyni
    Moschoudi.

    About the Book

    Title The Lady of the Pier – The Ebb
    Genre Historical romance
    Author Effrosyni Moschoudi
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): G
    Corfu, 1987
    On a long holiday with her grandparents, Sofia Aspioti meets
    Danny Markson, a charming flirt who makes her laugh. Although she tries to keep
    him at arm’s length, worried that village gossip will get back to her strict family,
    she falls desperately in love. That’s when strange dreams about Brighton’s West
    Pier and a woman dressed in black begin to haunt her. Who is this grieving woman?
    And how is her lament related to Sofia’s feelings for Danny?
    Brighton, 1937
    Dreaming of wealth and happiness, Laura Mayfield arrives in Brighton
    to pursue a new life. She falls for Christian Searle, a happy-go-lucky stagehand
    at the West Pier theatre, but when she’s offered a chance to perform there, her
    love for him is put to the test. Charles Willard, a wealthy aristocrat, is fascinated
    by her and pursues her relentlessly. Will Laura choose love…or money?
    The Lady of the Pier trilogy has two timelines that stay unrelated
    in The Ebb. They begin to merge in The Flow and finally become one story in The
    Storm. Although The Ebb creates a strong premise for the rest of the series it has
    a satisfactory ending and can be an enjoyable standalone read.
