Romance Divine Signs with Arrow Publications

More authors, more titles, more romance! Arrow Publications is excited to offer titles from Springboro, Ohio-based, publisher, Romance Divine, LLC as Apple Apps from iTunes. 

Gregory Causey, founder of Romance Divine, established the company in 2006 to publish fiction and non-fiction romantic literature. “Romance Divine offers cutting edge erotica appealing to a wide variety of tastes,” says Pat White, CEO of Arrow Publications. “The Romance Divine titles are an excellent addition to Arrow’s library of Apple Apps.”

A varied array of romance is available from Romance Divine. “Quirky themes always attract me” Causey confesses. We did a book on ballroom dance, a contemporary Christian romance, a volume of nature poetry and our usual mix of romance, from vanilla HEA(Happily Ever After) to erotic and fetish. We don’t limit ourselves. If it’s a good premise then we’ll consider it,” he explains. The only requirement is that the story has engaging characters and a plot that holds the readers interest.

Gregory CauseyGregory Causey wrote his first book, Quality Sex: The Sensuous Side of Process Improvement, after retiring from the Department of Defense. Unfortunately, his relationship with the publisher of Quality Sex was less than ideal. 

“The dealings with that publisher left a bad taste in my mouth and I thought, ‘Hell, I can publish.’ So when I wrote Dancing with Natasha, I started my own company, Romance Divine. I vowed to treat and pay authors better, and give newcomers a chance to get their work out,” he says.

Romance Divine does produce print books, but the electronic world is where they have most of their market. The business model is changing Causey says, “Fifteen years ago I never could have competed with the publishing big dogs and had my work out at the big retailers, but it’s a different story now. Look at all the devices people have available--phones, readers, iPads; it’s a growing market and putting our titles on iTunes is the next step.”

Romance Divine currently has a dozen titles in the Arrow App Store with several  more novels in the Apple reviewing process. Visit iTunes and search "Arrow Publications" and "Romance Divine" or the title and author for the latest Apple App releases from Romance Divine and lose yourself in romance!

In This Month's Spotlight —
Libra (September 23rd –October 22nd)

Last month we learned about the cool and cautious Virgo woman. This month, we turn to Libra, a sign that values beauty and harmony above all else. LibraWhile Virgo is detached, the Libra woman wants to be everybody's friend. However, she may be hesitant to let anyone get too close, for fear that they will disturb her delicate inner balance. Balance is very important to this woman, and she dislikes excess in anything. For Libra, sex is more about pleasure than powerful emotions, and she looks for harmony in relationships, rather than security or a deep connection.

My Cowboys by Mary Suzanne

My Cowboys
by Mary Suzanne

Besides Aiden, Jacob was on her man-candy want list. Both men made her quiver with awareness and she wondered at her fickleness. She’d never wanted two men at the same time in her entire life.

Callie Jackson left New York, buying a ranch in Colorado and searching for a new muse for her writing career. Ranch hands Aiden and Jacob were more than enough to fire her fantasies and imagination, but would she act on those fantasies? It’s a sexual free-for-all in My Cowboys.

My Cowboys is one of Arrow's newest titles from Romance Divine. Enjoy My Cowboys at the Apple App store. Just search the title and "Arrow Publications"!


Gini Graham Scott
Changemaker
 
Gini Graham Scott’s latest App release 17 Top Secrets to Keep Your Job or Find New Work Today provides tips on how to adapt to an ever-changing job market and explains how to use social media to find work. This app is available now in the iTunes App Store in Arrow’s Reference, Business & Education Collection. Just search the title and keywords "Arrow Publications".

Gini Graham Scott Gini Graham Scott, Ph.D., J.D., is a nationally known writer, consultant, speaker and seminar/workshop leader. She has written over 50 books on such diverse subjects as business and work relationships, professional and personal development, creativity, conflict resolution, criminal justice, and popular culture. In addition, Scott writes a regular column dealing with these topics and has been a guest on hundreds of radio and TV talk shows, including Oprah, Good Morning America, CNN, and the O'Reilly Factor.

ARROW: Hi Gini, thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule for Arrow. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself, your education and interests?
GGS: I have a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California Berkley. Also, I have a series of other degrees in Mass Communications and Pop Culture & Lifestyles. In the 1980s, I became intrigued by how others live and my interests in sociology and anthropology led me to begin writing books about business and self-help. I also love films and script writing. I wrote a script called Moving On, which was the true thriller/suspense story about a mother and son suspected of murdering their landlord. At the time, I was taking a series of criminal justice classes.

ARROW: Impressive résumé! Let's talk about self-help topics and what motivated you to write in this genre?
GGS: Business and self-help topics became very popular in the 1980s and 90s. I saw the opportunity to educate people and wrote my first book, How Do You Collect Money from People Who Owe You Money? This book was written as a result of a person I knew who was owed money and she didn’t know what to do to collect it. From this, I wrote an entire series of books about how to collect money.

ARROW:  No wonder your books are so popular! How else do you choose your topics?
GGS: I write about what interests me at the time. For instance, I wrote a manual about multi-level marketing and multi-level companies. When the country was in a recession, I wrote a series about money. I write about whatever is happening in my life. I was a game designer for a while. This gave me the idea to write a book about visualization techniques called Want It, See It, Get It!: Visualize Your Way To Success. Over 50 books were written as a result of what was going on in my life.

ARROW: Life as inspiration. What are your latest releases and do you have a favorite?
GGS: Top Secrets for Using LinkedIn to Promote Your Business or Yourself is my favorite release because it’s an element of social media. The book is now available in the iTunes App Store under Arrow Publications.

ARROW: What do you do to promote your books, your brand and yourself?
GGS: I use social media like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. I also get out and do a lot of my own promotions including my website and making appearances on radio and giving interviews.

ARROW: You really practice what you preach. Are you scheduled for a book tour, special appearances or events to promote your titles?
GGS: I will be appearing on the Changemakers radio show and I’ve been doing some webinars on my new website, Changemakers Publishing and Writing.

ARROW: That website is a great resource. Is there any advice that you would give to new writers?
GGS: I would tell new writers to get out there and promote their books–-they have to be proactive.

ARROW: Gini, it’s been a pleasure speaking with you. You’ve shared some pretty interesting adventures. Lets do this again soon!

Using LinkedIn to Promote Your Business or YourselfGini Graham Scott currently has four Apple App titles in Arrow's Reference, Business & Education Collection.
