The Joy of Scheduled Posts

Posted May 17, 2018 by Marsha in Discussion Post / 6 Comments

I’m a fast reader, and I do read a lot of novellas which only take an hour or so to finish up. So, yep, my books read count is rather high. I’ve had comments, questions and even accusations on how I can possibly read so much especially when a lot of posts go live on the same day. A couple of those comments were rather rude and nasty, just sayin’.

So here’s the secret… and if you’re a blogger this shouldn’t be a secret at all but something you’re using all the time.

Scheduled Posts.

It’s really that simple. I can request a book on NetGalley in January, its release date is in April, and I’ll have read it sometime in-between those dates and written up my review… and scheduled it to go live on publication day. It’s not dark magic, it’s being somewhat organized. Now, when there are more than five books due out the same day I will often schedule them over a couple days past release day – but for the most part that Schedule option is a lifesaver for me. Sure, sometimes life happens and I run low or out of Scheduled Posts, but that’s usually only a stray review here and there. Right now I have books scheduled to go live on my blogs up through August of 2018.

I own several blogs, in a variety of Romance Genres. I love my Shifters, enjoy Western Historical, swoon over a good Regency, adore Paranormal Romance, always have time for a good Contemporary Romance and have fun with a puzzling Mystery. I’m also retired, so if I want to do nothing but read from the moment I wake up in the morning until I hit the bed that night… I can do that, the dust bunnies will wait til tomorrow. I can hop on Amazon and load up my Kindle with five or six novellas and be quite happy for the rest of the day. I’ll often do that when I’m reading an older or longer series – do a binge read and then space the reviews out over a few weeks.

So – I’m just sayin’ – before you make up your mind to comment on how quickly another person appears to be reading books, consider that they might have read them months ago… and you’re only hearing about it today because of… Scheduled Posts options.

Aleck McLaughlin has three major reasons to keep his hands off Delonna. One, he’s her boss. Two, she’s ten years younger. Three, he’s sworn to never again leave his heart vulnerable. But then her ex boyfriend steals her money and skips town, leaving her with his gambling debt and a loan shark determined to collect. Aleck’s protective instincts kick in and he realizes he’ll do anything to keep Delonna safe, even if that means moving her into his house and whisking her away to his ancestral home in Scotland.

When her boss–her very hot and sexy boss–steps in to save her from the danger her ex left behind, Delonna says no. She’s as used to calling her own shots as she is pouring them…Too bad Aleck doesn’t take no for an answer when Delonna’s safety is involved.

Three Day Fiancee by Marissa Clarke

Posted May 14, 2018 by Marsha in Contemporary Romance, Series / 0 Comments

Helicopter pilot Taylor Blankenship’s time schedule is maxed out. Between his job, his one-hundred and fifty pound slobbering mess of a dog, and his matchmaking grandmother, he has no time for anyone or anything-especially a woman. If only there were a way to get Grams to back down.

The job of New York City dog walker suits Caitlin Ramos perfectly while she preps for her CPA exam—steady, scheduled, and requiring very little human interaction; a huge seller since she’s still on the mend from a toxic relationship. Men suck. Especially her bossy hot client with the Saint Bernard that thinks it’s a lap dog. No way will she go for his plan to pretend they’re engaged to get his grandmother off his case. Down, boy.

Offered a bargain she can’t refuse, Caitlin finds herself playing the part of fiancée to Taylor. Fortunately, it’s only for three days. All she has to do is fake a relationship with Mr. Bossy Pants in front of his entire family, survive a fierce game of truth or dare with an unscrupulous pair of octogenarians, endure a one-on-one round of Twister with Taylor, and not lose her heart to a guy who turns out to be a lot more than she’d bargained for.
