Report from Cyberspace:
Apparently, Amazon wants to add a little romance to its life. The retail giant is launching a romance imprint, Montlake Romance, that will debut with a title by NYT author Connie Brockway - Publishers Weekly
Another book community is being hatched. Hachette Book Group, Penguin Group and Simon & Schuster will partner with AOL Huffington Post Media Group to launch Bookish, a reader-focused site that will offer, "original editorial features, unique tools and more." - MediaBistro
In social media news, the rumor mill reports that Facebook is making moves to purchase Skype. For those of you unfamiliar with Skype, it allows you to make "video calls." Hmmmm... Sounds like it might be a cool new feature with a variety of promo applications, but I will continue to hide my "online" status from old high school crushes and cousins twelve times removed. Thankyouverymuch - PRnewser

Today's freebie is sponsored by Marley Gibson. Leave a comment to win a copy of her book, GHOST HUNTRESS: THE DISCOVERY. This contest will be open through Tuesday, May 24th. Winner announced on Wednesday, May 25th.
The 411: After some time off, Kendall’s ready to begin ghost hunting again. But her life is still in flux. She misses Patrick, her new love. She needs to find a photographer to replace Taylor. Plus, she may have discovered who her real father is, but to be sure, she has to convince his family she’s not a fake.
And then there’s a certain doll that seems to be out to get her and her friends. A doll? How could that be? Unless, perhaps, it’s not just a doll. Maybe it’s a vessel containing the soul of a man so evil in life, not even death could stop his reign of terror. This could be Kendall’s most terrifying and deadliest encounter yet.
