Today I chatted with one of my favorite authors of paranormal romance, Rebecca Zanetti. Her new release VAMPIRE’S FAITH is a great entry point for readers who are new to the Dark Protectors series—you can just jump right in without having to read the earlier books—and fans of the series will see some new faces as well as some old friends. Rebecca and I also chat about her other upcoming releases and she gives some great advice on what to do when you meet your favorite author in person.This podcast is SPOILER-FREE, so listen with confidence!Check out the show notes at http://bit.ly/GetIn-S1E7 for handy buy links and to meet Rebecca!#GetInfatuated #InfatuatedPodcastFollow Sue online at @GraveTells on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest

Sexual health at different times of your life?How can reading romance can lead to a healthier psyche and sex life?Sign up for Eden's courses on her website: http://edenbradley.com/education/ Eden references several books and online resources in the podcast.

Her work has been called “elegant, intelligent and sensual”. Her debut novel THE DARK GARDEN was praised as “a masterpiece”, and was a Romantic Times Top Pick. More recently, her novella GIRL (Book One in The Training House Series) has repeatedly been called “phenomenal”, and BDSM author Jenna Jacob said “Nothing has touched me like this since ‘Story of O’”. Her novels and novellas have been translated into German, Romanian, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Czech, Polish, Indonesian and Japanese.As someone who has been involved in BDSM practice for much of her adult life, she relates in particular to her kink stories, infusing them with her own truth about kink practice from her life experiences. Eden speaks regularly on BDSM psychology and practice, as well as sex positive culture for women. She lives in Northern California, and loves art, shoes, tattoos, her Boston Terrier puppy, chocolate, and reading and writing smutty books, of course, not necessarily in that order.Visit her online:Website: www.EdenBradley.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/EdenBradleyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorEdenBradley.EveBerlinDirty Minds Social Club: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1110214502406798/Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/edenandeve/Amazon Author Page: http://www.amazon.com/Eden-Bradley/e/B001IQUL8G/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1Eden’s NEWSLETTER SIGNUP: http://tinyurl.com/ncklmhzFor more articles and podcasts like this, as well as romance book reviews, visit http://InfatuatedPodcast.com!
