But now I&#8217;m eagerly anticipating seeing my book featured even if it&#8217;s only for a day.<\/p>\n<p>But I think the site looks very nice and they have a decent number of books and stories to start out. It seems each book gets featured for a day, and as I mentioned before, each novel is also available as an audiobook. <\/p>\n<p>So far, they&#8217;ve only got one novel and one story for their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravenousromance.com\/panamour.php\">Panamour<\/a> category, which is what they are calling their LGBT offerings. I guess it&#8217;s less competition for me, but it also means that they won&#8217;t be a magnet for the readers that particularly like that category. I have to work a lot harder to get people over there, I guess!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a nice inteview with Holly Schmidt, one of the founders (and my editor). <a href=\"http:\/\/lustbites.blogspot.com\/2008\/11\/all-about-ravenous-romance.html\">All About Ravenous<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I admit, I haven&#8217;t purchased anything over there yet, but if any of you do, please let me know what you think of the story or novel.
