Hi all.
Jenna here to admit that I have started a lot of Pinterest boards including
one for my July 1 Western Historical from Harlequin, Running Wolf. Some of my social media is a chore but I find
Pinterest relaxing, inspiring and fun. Here
are some of the boards and uses of those boards.
I used this Pinterest board to find historical shots to help with descriptions and modern photos to make the characters seem more real. Here is a bit about my July 1 release, Running Wolf:
From the moment Snow
Raven came charging in to my first scene on her white horse, I have been in
love with this character. My heroine is
the daughter of a Crow chief and is bright, stoic and brave, even after being
captured by her enemies. At first she
wants only to survive until she is rescued.
But when faced with the needs of her fellow captives, she grows into a
warrior, forgoing her own happiness to win their freedom.
My hero, Running Wolf,
is the War Chief of his Sioux tribe and an enemy to the Crow people. Running Wolf is at first intrigued, then
confounded and later fascinated by the captive, Snow Raven. They both resist a love that will cost them
all. He must lead his people and protect
them from their enemies, while she must try to bring her people home.
2. Series
Specific Boards: The Trackers series from Harlequin Nocturne.
This board was far more creepy and
atmospheric. I tried to create a mood or
otherworldly creatures linked to Native American myth and legend. My characters in this series include
Skinwalkers who shift from human form to bears, buffalo, wolves and even
ravens. But other supernatural spirits
make appearances including Thunderbirds, Thunder Horses, The Whirlwinds, ghosts,
the guardian who evaluates your soul after you die and the ruler of the Circle
of Ghosts.
3. Connecting
with Readers: My Keeper Shelf
Readers who want to know what I'm currently
reading can always visit my GoodReads
page and follow me there. I often run
first-reads giveaways there and had two this month. But if you want to see what's on my personal
keeper shelf, you can find out on My Keeper Shelf board.
4. Genre Specific Board: Western
Christmas
I've written a lot of Christmas novellas
for Harlequin Historical including my latest
in the anthology collection Wild West
Christmas and so I began pinning images of winter scenes including
Christmas pictures with Western flare.
This board remains one of my fan favorites.
5. Promotion: My
Book Covers
Of course, I want readers to be able to share
my beautiful book covers. This board
also includes first looks at covers and some of my unboxing, when my author
copies arrive! Boy, to I love to see
these pins repinned!
6. Laughs and Giggles: Odds
and Ends board
Sometimes you just need a laugh. That's why I created this board. Here I've collected things that make me
laugh, smile or book-related items that I love.
My newest favorite is the sign in a library parking lot that reads, "Library Parking Only. Violators will be held in low esteem."
7. Secret
Boards
Shhh!
This board is secret, a collection for my own use while I am writing my
newest series, my first romantic suspense for Harlequin Intrigue. I'm giving readers a peek of the images of
Apache people I'm pinning for Apache Protectors. This board is not viewable to my fans yet,
but it will be soon.
Here is a tiny, tiny, teaser for book one, Shadow Wolf (December 2015):
She aids illegals and
he apprehends them but when this humanitarian pacifist witnesses a cartel
killing in the Sonora Dessert, she becomes this Apache lawman’s only witness.
So, there are seven ways I use
Pinterest. I hope you’ll follow one of
my boards. Here are some other ways to
connect with me.
So that's what I'm doing with Pinterest. I'd love to hear what other authors and readers like to pin or more about the topic of your boards. I'm offering a signed copy of one of my backlist titles drawn randomly from your comments.

Rival Tribes...
Running Wolf is a valiant Sioux warrior. During his first raid as war chief, he captures a surprising Crow enemy--a woman! This spirited fighter is unlike any he's ever met. Her beauty and audacity are entrancing, but threaten his iron resolve...
...Rival Passions
Snow Raven must focus on freeing herself, not on the man who keeps her captive. But as she falls deeper under Running Wolf's spell, she realizes he is herwarrior--and she'll risk everything for him!
I'll have to take a look at the links you posted.
