Guest Post: CROSSROADS A Multi-genre Romance Anthology + giveaway

Crossroads is a multi-genre anthology of 21 authors featuring 20 stories. Have you ever wondered why in the world would anyone write in an anthology, collection or box set, with others? We thought it would be a nice idea to tell you why a few of us thought writing a story around a central theme might be fun. 

LaVerne Thompson says- I enjoy the camaraderie of working with other authors. And in this case, to help the authors in this set in any way I can achieve their dream of making a major bestsellers list.

Dahlia Rose says- If you look at the lineup, these are some of the best authors of interracial romance there is. This box set means something. We are trying to meet a goal where we don’t see many IR books. In the publishing industry, while our genre is one of the more profitable, we don’t get the press like other genres. This box set sends a message that we are here and damn our books are fantastic.

Olivia Gaines says- All of my buddies from my favorite conference are in the set. I was not coming to conference and have everybody talk about this box set and Olivia not be a part of the team! Besides, we have a chance to do something awesome here, and I think we can.

Afton Locke says- I met most of my fantastic co-authors at the IRAE convention in Florida, and doing a creative project together sounded very exciting. I also seek exposure to more readers.

Aliyah Burke says- I enjoy collaborating with fellow authors, especially ones I have such admiration for, and these authors nail that without any questions. This is my honor to be part.

Reana Malori says- I jumped at the opportunity to work with a group of amazing authors.

In truth, we just all enjoy working on a project together.

She also writes romantic suspense and new adult under the pen name Ursula Sinclair, her alter ego, who likes her relationships a little more complicated. Under either name chocolate is her Achilles heel.

Eve Vaughn is a New York Time and USA Today Bestselling Author she has enjoyed creating characters and stories from an early age. As a child she was always getting into mischief, so when she lost her television privileges (which was often), writing as her outlet. Her stories have gotten quite a bit spicier since then! When she's not writing or spending time her family, Eve is reading, baking, traveling or kicking butt in 80's trivia.

If you're reading one of Latrivia's books, you'll have plenty of fun, because nothing is safe.

S.K. Lessly is a Bestselling Author and originally from Pittsburgh, PA. She has a love of action movies, hanging with family and friends, reading her loads of smut from her favorite authors and writing a bit of smut herself. Her debut to the IR world came on November 14th will hopefully flood Amazon with many more of her works. As a friend has coined, She is a 'artist of the written word' and is truly looking forward to sharing her misunderstood imagination with those that love a good romance book to escape to.

Phoenix Daniels is a Bestselling Author and a woman who has suffered through LIFE!! She loves hard and appreciates her "outlets". She writes to get through it all. She is a law enforcement officer and has seen it all. That is always what she writes about. Her men will always be "alpha males" and her women will always be the hero.

Kassanna is a Bestselling Author and a strong believer in love at first sight and happily ever afters. Writing has always been her passion but fate sometimes has other roads that must first be taken. Navigating the road less traveled was not only unexpected but in the end extremely rewarding. Her books are mainly contemporary romance but she has delved into the paranormal, fantasy, and plans on expanding into other areas as the ideas come to her. Right now she is enjoying life and seeing her works come into fruition make it that much more pleasurable especially when her books make others smile. Kassanna wouldn't have it any other way.

Afton Locke is a USA Today Bestselling Author who prefers romantic fantasies to everyday reality. Fantasies take her to different times, races, places, and beyond.

When she's not writing, Afton enjoys hiking, cooking, reading, and watching retro T.V.

Angela Kay Austin is a Bestselling Author and has always loved expressing herself creatively. An infatuation with music led to years playing several instruments, some better than others.

She hopes that you will enjoy her novel and looks forward to your feedback.

Jayha Leigh and Jeanie Johnson are Bestselling Authors. Two pens...one-of-a-kind adventures...zero apologies. A kickazz tag-team bound together by the pen, Jeanie (the shagalicious wordslinger) and Jayha (the literary badazz) are forces of nature that will either leave you begging for mercy or begging for more.

Shara Azod is a Bestselling Author. She is well let's just say touched. Born a Marine brat, Shara is a Navy Veteran with a pathological love for men in uniform, chocolate, and heroes that are maybe a touch psychotic. With over seventy-five books in her backlog, Shara has no intention of slowing down any time soon. She's definitely not safe for work, or the kids, or- you know what? She's just not safe.

Ursula Sinclair is a Bestselling Author and the alter ego of USA Today Bestselling Author LaVerne Thompson. Ursula’s work focuses on romantic suspense and new adult romances.

  1. I like that S.K. uses the term "smut". An author once asked her readers how they felt about the term smut. I use it almost as a term of affection for the hot/erotic romance genre myself.

  2. It's a neat idea to have an anthology that covers all different genre of stories. I'm always looking for new authors to read so this is a great way to meet new authors.
