Today I
host the charming Beverly Ovalle, who has written a fine book, Touched by the
Sandman. Instead of a blurb-excerpt-bio sort of post, I asked Beverly to give
me her Top Ten most helpful books on writing. Here's what she wrote:
Oh my goodness. Would it be really bad to admit as a writer
that I don’t read books about writing? I gave away the ones I had someone give
me. I admit, I’m a rebel, LOL. I like to toss the rules out the window.
So books, I love books. Picking my top ten will be super hard
so I’ll give you the top ten I’ve read over and over. Um, they are not all
romances either. I’m a serious geek. From PNR to historical to fantasy, my
inspiration comes from them all.
Dark Fire by Christine Feehan. The chemistry between Darius and
Tempest is fantastic, a wonderful story line with exceptional characters.
Dark Secret by Christine Feehan. I want Rafael De La Cruz. OMG,
seriously luscious.
Maggie’s Beau by Carolyn Davidson. Beau is the ultimate man, caring
protective and strong.
Nobody’s Hero by Kallypso Masters. Adam is the ultimate Dom and his
inspiration is totally hot too!
The Dragon Riders of Pern – the whole series is awesome. Dragons,
riders, saving the world. No way could I just pick one. By Anne McCaffrey and
now the new ones by her son Todd.
Devil’s Bride by Stephanie Laurens. A strong no nonsense hero, an equally
strong heroine. I love the whole line of the Cynster Family.
The Blue Viking by Sandra Hill. I laugh from the beginning to
the end with all of her books and well, Vikings, ya know? Hot, studly and did I
say hot?
The Last Herald Mage by Mercedes Lackey. This is a fantastic
series. Heartbreaking and wonderful, one of those you can’t put down. A
wonderful fantasy writer, I can’t say enough wonderful things about her books.
Sylvester by Georgette Heyer. I absolutely adore this book. The stern,
older hero and the flighty madcap heroine that he indulges and adores.
<sigh> This book never gets old to me.
About a Dragon by G.A. Aiken. Dragons, arrogant males, humor
and hot sex. There is nothing I don’t like about it. Or any of the series.
Starting off with Annwyl the Bloody J in Dragon Actually and going from there, this is one screwed
up, wonderful family in the Dragon Kin series.
I got my love of romance, fantasy and dragons from many of these and other authors. I want my
heroes and heroines to be characters that people will also want to re-read.
Combining humor with every day or not so everyday life to take people away from
their lives. If I’m not there yet, I hope to one day be on my own top ten! LOL.
Well, okay, that was nice...but what about the book?

Author bio:
Beverly Ovalle lives in Wisconsin with her husband Edmond of 24
years and two Chinese Water Dragons. Having her own Dragons is expected as she
is dragon crazy and anyone that walks in her house can tell. Her son Nicholas
visits when he is on leave from the Marines.
Her daughter Susannah visits from time to time to make sure us ‘old’
folks are alive and kicking.
Beverly has traveled around the world thanks to five years in the
US Navy and has worked for the government in one capacity or another for the
past 30 years. Beverly and her brothers have travelled most of the continental
United States as children due to the station wagon from Hell. Still active with veterans, she is adjutant
for her local AMVETS.
Beverly has been reading romances since her Aunt introduced her to
the gothic romance in the fourth grade and is still reading every chance she
gets.
