Exciting News: A Touch of Greek is approaching TOP 100 on Barnes & Noble
I have some really exciting news today:
This is so exciting! None of my books has ever ranked this high!
I know I'm shameless, but I'm so close to making it into the bestseller list that I figured, I'll just ask all of you for help.
For those of you who haven't read A Touch of Greek yet, if you purchase it today or tomorrow (March 4th or 5th, 2011) from Barnes & Noble and email your purchase receipt to tina@tinawritesromance.com I will send you another one of my books or two novellas or short stories for free. Just let me know which ones you want and in which format (Kindle / pdf / ePub etc).
Thanks so much for all your help, and enjoy reading.

B&N removes ability to download free samples
It was quite a shock when I noticed last night that I couldn't download any free samples of my books on Barnes & Noble anymore. I'd wanted to download a sample of one of my books because I'd just done an update on the formatting and wanted to make sure it looked alright. Imagine my shock when I realized that none of my books could be sampled.
In the morning, I checked the website again and spoke to several other authors only to find out that I wasn't the only one this happened to. I started a topic on Kindleboards to discuss it with others, and a pattern soon emerged.
It appears that Barnes and Noble has removed all "Download Free Sample" functionality from self-published authors who write in the erotic romance or erotica category.
Censorship anybody?
I've already seen a sharp drop-off in sales today. And I can't really blame readers. I wouldn't buy a book if I couldn't sample it.
I have therefore done the following: my blog now has samples of four of my most popular books online (see the legend above), and I'm referring to these samples on the product pages of my books on Barnes & Noble. I've also pasted short excerpts onto the product pages themselves, but I'm restricted as to the number of works I'm allowed to paste, so those excerpts are short.
I don't know whether this will help revive my sales on Barnes & Noble, but it's the best I can do right now. In the meantime, some of us are trying to get answers from Barnes & Noble about this obvious discrimination.
Needless to say, I didn't get any writing done today.

Warning Labels on my Books
Dear Readers,
when I put warning labels on my books, I really do mean what I say.
Venice Vampyr carries the following warning label: This vampire novella is sexually more explicit than my other books. So, if you're a little squeamish about things like voyeurism and other sexual taboos, it's safe to assume you won't like this one.
It appears that a reader on B&N did not heed my warning and read the book anyway, and then promptly gave me a 1-star review because she couldn't take it. That's why the warning is there in the first place: I know that not everybody likes their sex quite as steamy and uninhibited as my characters do. So I try to warn people when things might be beyond what some readers can tolerate.
By the way, I do wear this 1-star review like a badge of honor. It's almost as good as being banned by the Catholic Church!
Happy reading!
