Rabid Reads and The Book Nympho are bringing Stomp vs. Romp back for a THIRD year and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever!
The theme is action scenes vs sexy scenes in paranormal fiction. Rabid Reads will be representing the Stomp (Urban Fantasy) side of the battle, and The Book Nympho will be leading Team Romp (Paranormal Romance). We’re asking authors to guest post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in August, and go up against another writer who’s book will also be releasing sometime over the summer. There will of course be bribes, friendly trash talking, and the competition will indeed be fierce, but at the end of the day it’s all in good fun.
Here’s a sneak peek at this year’s line-up:
| Date | Stomp | Romp |
| August 04 | Jennifer Estep | Michelle M. Pillow |
| August 05 | Terry Spear | |
| August 06 | Robin Bielman | Sara Humphreys |
| August 08 | Angela Addams | Coreene Callahan |
| August 11 | J.C. Nelson | Amanda Carlson / Kristen Painter |
| August 13 | Susan Krinard | Brooklyn Ann |
| August 15 | Jaye Wells | Elisabeth Staab |
| August 18 | Tracey Martin | Delphine Dryden |
| August 20 | Amber Lynn Natusch | Kelly Meade |
| August 22 | Celia Breslin | Jenn Bennett |
| August 25 | Tricia Skinner | AC Arthur |
| August 27 | Yasmine Galenorn | Mandy Baxter |
| August 28 | Zoe Archer | |
| August 29 | Elliott James | Bec McMaster |

It’s been a tie for the past two years, so I’m not worried.

I bet you left the same comment on Jennifer’s blog. Traitor. π
My bad. I just read your comment at The Book Nympho’s. We can still be friends. π
That’s right. π

Why to bitch out your own team members. Melanie come over to the ROMP side. You won’t get bitched at. We are lovers not fighters.

A lot of hard work goes into this event, so I hope you enjoy it!
I still like you all, even if you’re on the wrong team. Go Romps! π
Haha Hey, I was nice enough to pimp you in my tweets. π
LOL And I thank you for that. π It makes me sorry that we’re going to have to um stomp the STOMP team. Romping you didn’t sound right at all.
LOL Team ROMP has to be a little more creative with their smack talk.
This sounds like such fun … Stomp or Romp. Oh no, I love both LOL. You have some great authors, this is going to be such fun!! π
kim { Book Swoon } recently posted…Young Adult Book Review: The Obsidian Dagger by Brad A. LaMar
It’s been a tie every year, so I’m pretty to that practically EVERYONE loves them both equally. LOL
Yay! So glad y’all are doing this again π I had so much fun last year and I ended it really stuck – I love ROMP & STOMP. I do gravitate towards my UF, but you know I love PNR so can’t wait to see this year’s posts π

Hopefully the Team STOMP authors will sway you with their excellent posts!
Sounds like fun
It is! That’s why we keep doing it!
I missed this post!
Anyway, I love the discussion theme this year. Naturally I will stalk this more closely this year.
Congrats on your third year!
Thanks! After 3 years we’ve just about perfected the art of Stomp vs Romp.
Oh, we are so gonna STOMP the romp! π Thanks so much for including me, Carmel! I’m super excited to participate and hang out for the month with so many authors I admire. I’m, uh, going to try and not go all fan girl and weaken our stomping.

Happy to have you on board! Fangirling is fine, just don’t forget which team you’re on! π
Go Stomp! Go Romp! LOL! I can’t decide as I there’s authors I love on both teams…
