Full translation of Ricky's message in the following video:
I am proud to be Latino and to see how much we have contributed to this country. From excelling in the best schools to creating start-up business and contributing to American culture through art and music we have an opportunity to re-elect President Obama and make sure our community continues to advance.

Take this into account, there are 50 million Hispanic-Americans in the United States - our vote will decide this election. But only if we all fight to let everyone know how important it is for us to vote in November.

President Obama believes that the efforts and talent of each person in the U.S. should determine their success no matter who their parents are or where their roots lay.

I am proud to have a president who is fighting to fix the immigration system and provide those young people who arrived in the country when they were children an opportunity to be successful without the threat of deportation.  I know that as long as he remains president he will not give up on this issue because he is committed to our community's needs and to do what is right.

Just Released! Night Thief by Lisa Kessler (Guest Post)




Hi everyone –

It’s always so fun to visit Arianne’s blog!!!

My new novella in the Night Series, Night Thief, just released this weekend and I’m super excited to share it with you!

This one is actually a prequel that takes place in Paris in 1840.  It was the first time I‘ve ever written a historical paranormal, and it ended up being a lot of fun!  It’s such a romantic time period…  Women wore corsets and floor length gowns, couples waltzed to string quartets, and instead of getting in a car, the hero climbs on a horse…  *dreamy sigh*

Add in paranormal elements like immortals, and it really turned up the romance…

In Night Thief, our heroine is a thief with a secret.

Blurb:

After the fall of the Mayan civilization, Kane, an immortal Night Walker, has taken refuge in France for over 800 years. The modern world holds little interest for him until the night he meets the Golden Thief and is robbed of much more than his pocket watch.

Marguerite Rousseau is living a double life. By day she is the assistant to an eccentric French artist, Antoine Berjon, and by night she dons elegant evening gowns to woo French dignitaries before lifting their wallets.

Sparks ignite when Kane captures the thief, but Marguerite harbors a dark secret that could ruin them both.




Do you have a favorite time period for romance? What about blending historical and paranormal together?

Thanks again for the blog spot, Arianne!
