This week's Featured Authors Friday is PJ Schnyder and Jae Lynne Davies. Both of these ladies are simply amazing and super nice! I had the chance to meet them both this past August in New Orleans at AAD they both were incredibly humble and friendly; all despite me being in complete awe of them all week and gushing about everything(so thanks for not slapping me around).
I had the pleasure of reading PJs Drowning Tides prior to meeting her, so I felt a little prepared. Although her outfits blew me out of the water; I stand in awe, of not just her but all of the attendees who dressed up during the convention; those ladies hold nothing back and frankly if there was a best-dressed contest for the whole convention I'd hate to be the one to decide who wins 'cause everyone goes all out. Ms. Jae Lynne is an absolute pleasure to be around, I didn't even realize who she was at first (I just thought she was another awesome book lover)... I'm not sure where I got the impression that authors were these horrible devias who wouldn't want to me, the star-struck-fan (I blame Hollywood and movies like Devil Wears Prada) so frankly I was a little nervous about meeting them all. However, both of these women (and everyone else) absolutely rocked and chatted with me like they were one of my buddies (I recall a conversation about "strip club etiquette" with them while we were prepping some convention bags)...
What are you reading this weekend? Be sure to check these two ladies out if you are between books or add 'em to your to-be-read lists... Prime Members on Amazon can borrow for FREE Jae Lynne's Mythic title and Love's Immortal Pantheon Vol. 5 that has works from both PJ & Jae Lynne.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

her father, Jupiter, the human’s heart, or give Cole hers. The race is on to
