    First Reviews Are In…Yay!

    Having a new book out in the world is a nail-biting time. Has it hit all the major e-tailers yet? Is anybody buying it? Will people love it…or hate it? It’s enough to make an author (at least this one) go a little bit bonkers.

    But, the first few reviews are in for BODY OF WORK, and I’m so thrilled, I keep reading them over and over.

    ninas-literary-escape-blog-buttonThere’s this awesome one from Nina of Nina’s Literary Escape. (Click the link to read the full review.)

    “In the end, reading Body of Work was a total enjoyment for me. Readers looking for a hot book with explosive sex, a sexy six-foot-two ginger-haired alpha hero, and a fun & flirty story, Body of Work is the book for you.”

    “I really enjoyed Karla Doyle’s third book. I was expecting Cassie and Brian and their story to be just as good as the other books and I am happy to report it was. It was definitely hotter than the other books (this is always a good thing) and with every book Doyle’s writing is getting even better.
    What doesn’t change is the playful, humorous voice that comes through via her characters and their interactions.”

    Thank you, Nina and Maggie, for taking the time to read and review BODY OF WORK, and for the huge smiles you gave me!

    How Many of Me

    On Twitter today, author Cara McKenna (who is awesome in so many ways) posted a link to a site called How Many of Me. It’s kind of cool. Type in a name and the find out how many people in the USA share that name.

    First I searched Karla Doyle. There are 19 “of me” out there. Go ahead, make a joke about that. You know you want to. 😉

    HowManyOfMe.com
    Logo There are
    19
    people with the name Karla Doyle in the U.S.A.

    How many have your name?

    Then I decided to search some of the characters from my books and works in progress.

    From MORE THAN WORDS:

    There are 189 people named Travis Graham and 1 named Calli Yates.

    From GAME PLAN:

    There are 4 people named Mason Lang and 1 named Andie Finch.

    From my book currently on submission, tentatively titled BODY OF WORK:

    There are 647 people named Brian Black and 250 named Cassie Johnson.

    And from my current work in progress, as yet untitled:

    There is 1 person named Matthias DeWitt and 4 named Caroline Jamieson.

    Neat, right? 🙂
