NightstandNovels Spotlight on The Love of My (Other) Life

Posted on:

NightstandNovels, where fantasies and fiction collide, has done a wonderful spotlight, with character interview and giveaway, on The Love of My (Other) Life.

Check it out here.

Traci on the inspiration behind The Love Of My Other Life

“I wrote this novel for the hopeful romantic in all of us,” says Slatton. “I was inspired by daydreaming, really. I imagined what it would be like if a scruffy man showed up on my doorstep out of the blue one day, claiming to be my soulmate – albeit in a parallel world – and then it turned out he really was! But he couldn’t stay. Tessa is a woman with her own passion and her own center, but she’s lost her way. She’s been looking for Brian her entire life and didn’t even know it.”

Happy Valentine’s Day

Posted on:

It’s Valentine’s Day, and thoughts go to the invitation of eros.

Of this, Rumi speaks well:

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
doesn’t make any sense.
  (#158 from OPEN SECRET, Versions of Rumi, translated by John Moyne & Coleman Barks)

Also, here’s a great thoughtful review of THE LOVE OF MY (OTHER) LIFE on Stillreading Blog: “This is a lovely story of love and loss, surmounting obstacles, believing in what appears to be unbelievable and taking second chances. …There is a quirky, magical feel to this story…The book is a quick read, only 235 pages and I really enjoyed it. Actually, it put me in mind of the film Kate and Leopold with Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman, so I suppose anyone who enjoyed that film would really like this book.”

Since I am hopelessly enthralled by music these days, here’s an old favorite: “Shelter” by Lone Justice.

MySecretRomanceBookReviews is doing a giveaway and review of THE LOVE OF MY (OTHER) LIFE.

Reviewer Janna seemed to enjoy the novel, and wrote, “I loved the idea of there being an alternate universe where another version of you exists as well as the person you are meant to be with. …You never know what will happen, and who will point you to the love of your life, but sometimes the unexpected and unbelievable can lead you to your happiness.”

Meantime, Italian Blogger PleaseAnotherBook reviewed my dystopian novel COLD LIGHT very favorably. My Italian isn’t what it should be, I’m a little out of practice, but “La Slatton ha creato una distopia sconvolgente e incredibilmente avvincente che tiene incollato il lettore alla pagina”  roughly translates to “Slatton has created a shocking and addictive dystopian world that keeps you glued to the page.”

SHOUT OUT to Krishna Das on the Grammy’s!!

Hare Krishna, everyone, May love be with you.

Talk Supe Blog Tour Stop & Another great band

Posted on:

TALK SUPE, “a blog about the wonderful world of vampires, weres, fae, witchcraft and everything else in between,” hosted THE LOVE OF MY (OTHER) LIFE today. Braine gave the review, and it is smart! I really enjoyed some of her comments:

About Brian building a decohering device to travel to our universe and meet Tessa, she wrote, “Really dorky but I bet that’s what Shah Jahan’s people said when he went and built the Taj Mahal in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The thought is so weird, grand and romantic.”

Regarding the overall story, she said, “Despite belonging in two different worlds with barely anything in common, THE LOVE OF MY (OTHER) LIFE is another story on how love can make us do great things and change the landscape of our lives in ways we cannot even begin to imagine“and “THE LOVE OF MY (OTHER) LIFE was a smart, hilarious and fast read.”

She’s got a giveaway going on, one paperback and one eBook, so enter here and Good Luck!

Meantime, since I posted the Youtube video of Romeo’s Daughter yesterday, I thought I’d post another band I discovered recently. This is 2Cellos: two Serbian kids with Cellos. Check them out here.

I peeked at the blog to check on the giveaway, and there’s a great song on the page: Velvet Tongue by new wave group Romeo’s Daughter. Awesome song. Such unexpected fun to find a cool new song!

There are better mixed recordings out there–but this video gives the flavor of the song.

BookwormBrandee Bookworm Brandee really got THE LOVE OF MY (OTHER) LIFE. After she talked to Brian and Tessa, Bookworm Brandee wrote, “Wow! This was such a fun read!”

Furthermore, she said, “I absolutely enjoyed The Love of My (Other) Life. I felt as though the author was trying to convey the message that we should make our choices and if they end up being mistakes, let them go and keep moving forward.” Yes, that is part of what I wanted to say in this story.

Also, check out Bitten By Paranormal Romance, who gave THE LOVE OF MY (OTHER) LIFE a 5 Alpha Howl and wrote: “Bottom Line: This is a great story, a bit of craziness at the beginning to drop you into the story and a bit of everything a good romance needs with an ending quite satisfying on many levels. 4+ Stars and to many people this will be a 5 Star novel because it will touch some more deeply than the light story on the surface.”
