Quick Notes from Bedazzled Ink
Comments Off 
Once a year Bedazzled Ink turns into the Bedazzled Book Peddler. We have a booth at the annual Xena Convention in Los Angeles and sell books. Our books and books published by other publishers. We love to support authors. Many thanks to Bella Distribution for their generous selection of books this year and thanks to all of you who stopped by to visit and to buy books.
Have you ever seen an author seeing her book in print for the first time? Jordan Falconer couldn’t stop smiling and saying “Wow” at the Xena Convention in LA. She was extremely happy but a bit overwhelmed with people buying her Knight Predator and wanting her to sign their copies.
We hope you’ve doubled up on your pirate insurance because Skulls & Crossbones: Tales of Women Pirates is about to set sail. For those who prefer to read on the cyber seas, the ebook has already hoisted its sails at the Bedazzled Book Peddler.
From Viking battles of revenge and high sea betrayal, to modern-day piracy and space banditry, these twenty tales conjure up our inner pirate. Join the crews of women pirates who triumph in victory, face the gallows, and become unlikely heroes–women who follow the code of the Skull & Crossbones.
Ready for some bloodthirsty fun? Delve into the world of Carlisle Crowley, a striking, beautiful vampire hell-bent on living her undead life to the fullest in Knight Predator by Jordan Falconer.
Dev and Cassie are at it again, and, of course, their personal demons Monica and Vanessa can’t resist spreading their own brand of devilish fun for the holidays. Between their families and their demons, Dev and Cassie can’t seem to catch a break in Hell for the Holidays by K. Simpson.
Check out “Sweet turnaround for Peggy Beck” by Dan Woog and published at Pridesource. Peggy discusses why she wrote Sweet Turnaround J and her method of research that helped her write so realistically about teenage girls on a high school basketball game.
