Hallow’s Eve - when love comes home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can one night of magic heal his heart?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blurb:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Twelve months ago, Hal’s world crashed and burned, taking the love of his life with it. He’s waited all year for that one special night when the souls of the departed come home, hoping his candle will summon back one in particular to heal his broken heart. But the forbidden knowledge he’s learned could call something far worse, and put more than his own soul at risk...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Review</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hal lost his love a year ago. He has sent the last year just trying to get by. Now with Halloween getting close he is putting all his plans into use. He is a warlock and even if it is forbidden he will bring her back if he can. If he is caught he knows he will pay the price but the Circle can't stop him from getting Eve back.<br />
<br />
This is a short story but a very enjoyable one. Hal is a warlock but he can't let anyone who isn't magical know. He fell in love with a regular human and when he told her he had to see if she could accept what he is. He never got the chance as she died that night. Now he is doing everything he can to bring her back. He can't go on without her. The story goes back and forth between a year ago and now so you get to see what led up to this Halloween night. You don't get to see a whole lot of Eve just how she acted when he told her his news. I have to say it is a well written short story and I really enjoyed reading it. I would like to see what happens next as the ending did have a good spin that I didn't see coming. If you want a short, quick read that is great for this time of year be sure to try this one.<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“So?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hal shook his head. “Not tonight.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Oh, c’mon, man. Just one beer.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hal dropped his gaze to the glass he was still drying with a vehemence it didn’t deserve, avoiding his friend’s pleading stare. “Thanks, but I’m not in the mood.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Dan made an exasperated sound. “Look, I know it’s nearly a year—”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Pain lanced into his chest. “Stop.” He looked up. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A frown creasing his tanned face, Dan glared back, but he shut up. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hal sucked in a breath. He didn’t want to fight with Dan over this. The guy had stopped Hal’s life completely falling apart after last Halloween. “I know what you’re trying to do,” he murmured, and relief flickered in Dan’s brown eyes. “But I’m not ready to let it go.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I’m not saying you should, man. But how about getting back into some social interaction? You can’t spend the rest of your life as a recluse.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I won’t.” Hal smiled. Dan had no idea.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Then come out for a beer.” </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Another time.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Tomorrow then. I know you’ve got the Halloween shift off.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hal put down the glass he’d abused. “I’m busy.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Oh, yeah? Doing what? Trick or treating?” Dan scoffed. “What is it with you and Halloween? You never struck me as religious enough to find it offensive, but you don’t go out and have any fun either. So how come you always take the night off?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Hal looked around the bar at all the tawdry holiday decorations, and debated how to answer. Maybe Dan thought he was a closet Christian or something. The truth would shock the hell out of him. Especially with what Hal had planned this year. “My...family don’t see it as something to joke about.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Oh. Strict Catholic or something?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Something like that.” Hal smiled at the thought of his parents taking Holy Communion. But let Dan interpret it any way he liked.</span></div>

Bio:<br />
After spending twelve years working as an Analytical Chemist in a Metals and Minerals laboratory, Pippa Jay is now a stay-at-home mum who writes scifi and the supernatural. Somewhere along the way a touch of romance crept into her work and refused to leave. In between torturing her plethora of characters, she spends the odd free moment playing guitar very badly, punishing herself with freestyle street dance, and studying the Dark Side of the Force. Although happily settled in the historical town of Colchester in the UK with her husband of 21 years and three little monsters, she continues to roam the rest of the Universe in her head.<br />

Welcome to Peaceville, population 2067 and rising...from the grave...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luke Chester has had enough. He’s the school geek, the girls laugh at him, he’s lost his dead-end job at the pizza place, and in the midst of the world’s messiest divorce his parents don’t even know he exists. An overdose of his mom’s tranquilizers and a stomach full of whiskey should solve all his problems...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But they don’t. Instead, Luke finds himself booted out of the afterlife for not dying a natural death, with nowhere to go but back to his recently vacated corpse and reality. How the hell is he going to pass for one of the living without someone trying to blow his brains out for being one of the undead?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it just gets worse. He’s got to fight his own desperate craving to consume the living, evade the weird supernatural hunter who’s having a field day with the new undeads rising, and there’s this creepy black shadow following him around. Add to that the distraction of female fellow undead Annabelle burning to avenge her own murder, and clearly there’s no rest for the wicked. Jeez, all he wanted to do was R.I.P.</div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-8b9d3060-464f-a6d4-19d1-b0fe1889709b"></span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span id="docs-internal-guid-8b9d3060-464f-a6d4-19d1-b0fe1889709b"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You gotta be kidding me...</span><span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Waking up inside a small dark space is a pretty bad experience. Although I didn't wake as such because I wasn't asleep. I just became...aware maybe? The darkness kind of faded away until I can see I'm inside this metal box. Well, as far as I can tell. I tap the wall with one knuckle to check, and the hollow metallic knock proves at least part of my assumption right. So, what is this? I died and got kicked out of the afterlife. As far as I know, coffins ain't made of metal. So at a guess, I'm in the mortuary, and since I'm not laid out on a slab I must have been put away in storage. I've never been stuck in a drawer before, but somehow this fits with how I imagine it would be.</span></span></div>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-8b9d3060-464f-a6d4-19d1-b0fe1889709b">
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I suppose I should count myself lucky they hadn't started carving me up, and that I'd gone for an overdose rather than throwing myself in front of a truck or out of a window. I'm in damn good condition...for a corpse. Still in one piece as far as I can ascertain, and that ain't easy to determine, let me tell you. You know how an arm or a leg goes after you've sat on it for a while, cutting off the circulation? But before the blood flow starts again and you get pins and needles? That numb heaviness? My whole body is like that. Like every part of me is full of lead.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Also, the not breathing is weird. I take a couple of breaths out of habit, for the familiar feeling of air moving in and out of my chest. After that I don't bother. It takes too much concentration and there are other things I need to focus on. Like, what do I do next, for instance? </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, what, I'm just gonna lie here?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardians protect humanity from unspeakable horrors--but their hearts are as fragile as any mortal's. . .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For centuries, Lisette d'Alençon has been a warrior against the dark. She fights alongside her brothers and comrades. But when the dreams start coming, she can't bear to confess them to the Immortal Guardians' command. Dreams of a dark-haired man with soft eyes and brutal wounds, a man her heart aches for--and a man she knows has been declared a traitor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zach is an exile, a loner. He won't defend himself against false accusations or grovel to those who should have faith in him. But he'll damn sure defend the woman who kept him sane against a plague of super-vamps that seems to have appeared from nowhere. The Guardians will blame him, and that will make Lisette suspect, too. With life, death and eternity on the line, who can they really trust?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Review</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lisette may be a warrior but she still has desires. Desires she has to keep hid from the other Immortal Guardians. They all think Zach is a traitor but she knows different. She looks beyond the wall he hides behind and sees him for the man he is not what he shows. Zach would do anything to protect Lisette. He is an exhile from everyone but he can't stay away fro her. He doesn't argue or deny the charges and accusations made against him he just takes them in stride. When Lisette shows him how much she cares she opens up feelings he never had before. Now even while hiding he will do whatever it takes to make Lisette his. A new type of super vamps have arrived and it seems like Zach is to blame. He has to either run and leave Lisette behind or stay and prove he didn't do it all the while he is still being hunted down by the Others.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lisette is tough, a great fighter, friend and person. She still is a woman and seems to want only one man Zach. She knows he is different from her but she trust him. Zach I have been waiting to see more of. He is sexy, powerful and can be very stubborn. Even while tortured he doesn't reveal secrets or even try to defend his self. He is very protective and can be very caring. I love seeing him open up and learn more about him.<br />
<br />
I love this series and couldn't wait to read more about these two. For some reason Lisette has always seemed quiet to me and not really out front like the others. It is nice to see things from her side and what it is like for a female Immortal Guardian. Zach I wanted to know more about since he showed up and took a lollipop from a friend. He seems to always be around but not part of anything. You get to see what he thinks and how he feels. It is amazing to see how much Lisette opens him up. There is tons of action in this book as a group of super vampires is on the loose and they have to figure out where they are coming from and how to stop them. For fans of Seth you also get to see a different side of him as well. There is romance of course in this and love even a very special new member. I look forward to the next book already and I hope Seth gets his story soon and we find out even more about the Others. If you are looking for an excellent paranormal series I suggest this one!<br />

<span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Thank you for joining me! I’m so excited to be here today, celebrating the upcoming September 2</span><span style="font-size: 10px; vertical-align: super; white-space: pre-wrap;">nd</span><span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> release of NIGHT UNBOUND, the fifth book in my Immortal Guardians series. If you’re new to my series, it features powerful immortal warriors with special gifts who spend their nights hunting and destroying insane vampires who prey upon humans. But vampires aren’t the only enemy my Immortal Guardians must face. While they contend with the maddened vampires, even more dangerous foes rise up against them, presenting incredible challenges and threatening their very existence.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I’m not writing, I work in the local independent film industry. And, as I help directors cast their feature films, short films, and music video projects, I admit I often imagine casting my own projects . . . namely film versions of my books. With each book’s release, I rethink my dream cast, adding new characters and tweaking it here and there. Since my Immortal Guardians group is like one big family, players from previous novels often return in ensuing books. So I thought I would share with you now the dream cast I’ve concocted for NIGHT UNBOUND: </span></div>

Darkness Dawns, the first book in her Immortal Guardians paranormal romance series, was nominated for the RT Reviewers' Choice Award for Best Vampire Romance by RT Book Reviews and for Best Paranormal Romance - Vampire by The Romance Reviews. It was also deemed a Top Pick by The Romance Reviews and a Best Book by Long and Short Reviews. Night Reigns, the second book in the series, was nominated for Best Best Book of 2011 - Paranormal Romance by The Romance Reviews and declared an “utterly addictive” Top Pick by RT Book Reviews. Phantom Shadows, the third book in the series, has been declared a Top Pick by both The Romance Reviews and Night Owl Reviews. Her Immortal Guardians novella In Still Darkness was released in the Predatory anthology on May 7, 2013, and has received many fabulous reviews. Darkness Rises, the fourth book in the series, hit the USA Today Bestseller list, has been nominated for the RT Reviewers' Choice Award for Best Vampire Romance by RT Book Reviews and was deemed a Night Owl Reviews Top Pick.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dianne has also completed two not-yet-published paranormal romance novels that are prequels to Darkness Dawns. A Sorceress of His Own is a medieval romance with paranormal elements that won awards in the Lone Star, Where the Magic Begins, Southern Heat, Picture This, Book of Your Heart and Suzannah national writing competitions. Rendezvous With Yesterday is a time travel romance and won second place in the Picture This writing contest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In addition to writing romance, Dianne has completed a one-act play (comedy) and teamed up with an award-wining screenwriter to write a spec script for a new situation comedy. Several of her poems have also been published in anthologies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When she isn’t writing, Dianne is very active in the independent film industry and once even appeared on screen as a machete-weilding maniac not unlike the vampires she so loves to create in her novels.</div>

Blurb:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She can kill with a kiss. But can assassin Tyree also heal one man’s grief, and bring peace to a galaxy threatened by war?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Tyree of the Su, being an assassin isn’t simply something she was trained for. It’s the sole reason for her existence. A genetically enhanced clone—one of many in Refuge—she’s about to learn her secluded lifestyle, and that of all her kind, is under threat by a race capable of neutralizing their special talents to leave them defenseless.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Zander D’joren, being a diplomat has not only cost him his appearance, but also the love of his life. Scarred, grieving, he must nonetheless continue in his role as co-delegate to the fearsome Tier-vane or risk a conflict that could only end one way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now both of them need to keep each other alive and maintain a perilous deception long enough to renegotiate the treaty with the Tier-vane, or throw their people into a war that could wipe out Terrans and Inc-Su alike. But there’s more at stake than humanity, whether true or modified. Can the love growing between them save them both? Or merely hasten their destruction? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Review </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being a clone and an assassin is all Tyree knows. It is what she was made for and she isn't used to getting involved with others. Her newest assignment may be her hardest yet. She has just learned a secret about herself and her new assignment is to help Zander make a peace treaty. She has to pretend to be his love who was killed and still protect him. Zander has gave everything for his job and just wants to finish it. Tyree may resemble his late love but she is far from being her. Someone doesn't want their mission to pass and will do anything to stop them. While they grow closer to each other so does someone who will kill to stop them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tyree is very smart, tough and knows how to get the job done. She doesn't understand what she begins to feel for Zander. She does everything she can to protect him. She doesn't understand a lot about what a relationship is. Zander is really a shell of a man until Tyree gets him to open his heart again. He is tough and doesn't give up easy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I liked this book and both characters really don't know for sure what is growing between them. Tyree wonders if Zander sees her or his past love and I'm glad she uses her head and has that thought. Both of them put there selves in danger to save the other even when it is Tyree's job to protect Zander. He still jumps in to help her even when he knows e has to stay alive or much will be lost. I love her ability and it was a neat to read about. I have to say I really didn't see the ending coming. Tyree has a horrible time and I wondered if she would survive. Even tough as she is she has a weakness and it just made her more great. If you like a sci-fi book about fascinating people and different abilities I would recommend this one to you.</div>

My Last Kiss</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Bethany Neal </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blurb </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What if your last kiss was with the wrong boy? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cassidy Haines remembers her first kiss vividly. It was on the old covered bridge the summer before her freshman year with her boyfriend of three years, Ethan Keys. But her last kiss--the one she shared with someone at her seventeenth birthday party the night she died--is a blur. Cassidy is trapped in the living world, not only mourning the loss of her human body, but left with the grim suspicion that her untimely death wasn't a suicide as everyone assumes. She can't remember anything from the weeks leading up to her birthday and she's worried that she may have betrayed her boyfriend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If Cassidy is to uncover the truth about that fateful night and make amends with the only boy she'll ever love, she must face her past and all the decisions she made--good and bad--that led to her last kiss.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bethany Neal's suspenseful debut novel is about the power of first love and the haunting lies that threaten to tear it apart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Review </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cassidy is trying to remember who her last kiss was with. She is dead but she doesn't know how she got that way. Everyone seems to think she killed herself. She is falling everyone around trying to figure out just what happened. No one but her boyfriend can see her. Her best friend is trying to figure things out as well. Cassidy knows she must have done something bad but she doesn't remember much. Slowly as the clues begin to show their selves she starts to remember everything that led up to that night. She needs to hurry and figure things out as someone doesn't like her best friend searching for answers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cassidy is dead but she is still trying to make up for her past as she remembers it. She is a good person who made mistakes as some young people do. She has to come to terms with all that happened in her short life. Her family was falling apart before now she has an outside view of what happens after her death. She wishes she could be there to help them and get them to move on. Her boyfriend Ethan is a wonderful guy. He tries his best to help her but doesn't push her memories on her. He is a very loyal guy for someone his age. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I liked this story as you get to see what all happened to lead up to her death in flashbacks as well as what happens after. All the characters have some part to add to what happened to her and it all leads up to that horrible night. Cassidy sees who was really there for her and who she shouldn't have trusted. I liked it as I was never sure till the end what had happened that night. I had a few guesses. This is a great book and I really enjoyed it.</div>

Temptation in Shadows</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Gena Showalter </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blurb </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tall, lean, muscular—and definitely rough around the edges—Sean Walker is not your typical nightclub bodyguard. He’s a controller of shadows, able to wield darkness at will. But when a mysterious woman at the club turns out to have powers greater than his own, he has no choice but seduction…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Review </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gabby is hiding out and has a secret. She is a waitress at a night club and while her life is far from normal she thinks she is safe. A new bodyguard has her wanting more. Sean isn't your typical bodyguard he is really part of a secret organization and his job is to seduce Gabby and to keep her safe. Someone else is after them and they have to learn to open up to each other if they are going to live.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a short story but a good one. Gabby has really been on her own for a long time. She can break into computers or phones and they download into her brain. She has hid this from everyone. She isn't the type to fall for anyone as she can usually find their secrets out pretty quickly. Sean is dark and moody. He can control shadows. They both are great characters separate but when they work together they are amazing. They are in danger and they have to use their talents to stay safe. They aren't sure who to trust and while on the run really fall for each other. You don't realize it's a short story really as the whole thing gets told in the pages and it feels like a full length book. If you want a great short story that is amazing try this one.</div>

The Girl Who Never Was (Otherworld #1)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Skylar Dorset </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blurb </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THE GIRL WHO NEVER WAS is the story of Selkie Stewart, who thinks she’s a totally normal teenager growing up in Boston. Sure, her father is in an insane asylum, her mother left her on his doorstep—literally—when she was a baby, and she’s being raised by two ancient aunts who spend their time hunting gnomes in their Beacon Hill townhouse. But other than that her life is totally normal! She’s got an adventurous best friend who’s always got her back and an unrequited crush on an older boy named Ben. Just like any other teenager, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Selkie goes in search of the mother she’s never known, she gets more than she bargained for. It turns out that her mother is faerie royalty, which would make Selkie a faerie princess—except for the part where her father is an ogre, which makes her only half of anything. Even more confusing, there’s a prophecy that Selkie is going to destroy the tyrannical Seelie Court, which is why her mother actually wants to kill her. Selkie has been kept hidden all her life by her adoring aunts, with the help of a Salem wizard named Will. And Ben. Because the boy she thinks she’s in love with turns out to be a faerie whose enchantment has kept her alive, but also kept her in the dark about her own life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, with enchantments dissolved and prophecies swinging into action, Selkie finds herself on a series of mad quests to save the people she’s always loved and a life she’s learning to love. But in a supernatural world of increasingly complex alliances and distressingly complicated deceptions, it’s so hard to know who to trust. Does her mother really wish to kill her? Would Will sacrifice her for the sake of the prophecy? And does Ben really love her or is it all an elaborate ruse? In order to survive, Selkie realizes that the key is learning—and accepting—who she really is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Review </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Selkie thinks she is just a normal girl. Her family may be a little odd but a lot of peoples are. She is raised by her aunts because her dad is in an institution and her mom ran off when she was a baby. What she soon finds out is she is far from normal. When she finds out she has been hid from her mom and others she soon realizes she should have stayed hid. She is part faerie on her mom's side and part ogre from her dad's side. Her mom and other fae are after her because of a prophecy. She must stay away from them or they will kill her. Selkie can't do that as Ben has been taken. Now she will do anything to get him back. She has to meet her mother and see who she can trust. It is a dangerous journey she is taking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Selkie has been protected her whole life by many people. Ben has kept her hid even when she didn't know it. They all think she shouldn't know about any of the things for her own good but she isn't a weak person. She shows how strong she is when she takes on a dangerous journey to save Ben even when everyone tells her she shouldn't. She doesn't back down and tries her best to save him and others who need it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

If you love books with Faeries in them I am sure you will enjoy this one. Selkie is a great character and I loved getting to know what she was exactly. I would have liked to se more of the ogre part but I am strange like tat I guess lol. Her mom is one crazy person and a queen. She is ruthless and doesn't take a slight from anyone. The Fae court is very dangerous and the author does a great job with describing it. I also enjoyed the different time lines you get to see. I was something I had not seen in a book with Fae. I love Ben and how much he struggles to keep Selkie safe. I look forward to seeing more in this series.</div>

Hi everyone! We have the cover reveal for Tethered today! First some about the book.</div>

Blurb:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She can kill with a kiss. But can assassin Tyree also heal one man's grief, and bring peace to a galaxy threatened by war?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Tyree of the Su, being an assassin isn’t simply something she was trained for. It's the sole reason for her existence. A genetically enhanced clone—one of many in Refuge—she's about to learn her secluded lifestyle, and that of all her kind, is under threat by a race capable of neutralizing their special talents to leave them defenseless.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Zander D'joren, being a diplomat has not only cost him his appearance, but also the love of his life. Scarred, grieving, he must nonetheless continue in his role as co-delegate to the fearsome Tier-vane or risk a conflict that could only end one way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now both of them need to keep each other alive and maintain a perilous deception long enough to renegotiate the treaty with the Tier-vane, or throw their people into a war that could wipe out Terrans and Inc-Su alike. But there's more at stake than humanity, whether true or modified. Can the love growing between them save them both? Or merely hasten their destruction?</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Excerpt:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A thrill of excitement shivered down her spine as she backed away a few steps with Zander following. He shrugged off his formal outer robes, and for the first time she could appreciate the broad expanse of his chest, the close-fitting fabric stretched over well-defined muscles. It appeared he hadn't allowed his physique to slacken, despite leaving the Galactic Commission.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Are you ready?" she asked. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Zander spread his hands in an open gesture to say that he was. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So why is he just standing there like a defunct Manikin instead of poised to fight?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tyree took her combat position and Zander matched her, just as the Manikin had done. She'd never fought a human in combat practice before. This should be interesting.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She sprang forward and aimed two rapid punches at his face. Zander evaded both with a speed and grace totally out of proportion to his bulk. Her third he blocked with little effort, and she stepped back to reassess her strategy. But only for an instant.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A quick step forward and she lashed upward with her foot, snapping his head back. Zander staggered but didn't fall. Her second kick failed as he grabbed her ankle and jerked her off balance. She twisted as she dropped and caught him hard in the knee. Zander collapsed. Both rolled aside, and then jumped up to face each other again. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not bad. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tyree bit back a laugh as they exchanged blows, each faster than the last. Zander blocked or evaded most, but not all. His skill almost matched hers, yet his defenses were just a fraction too slow. Each move she made tested his reach, his reflexes and his stamina until she could sense him struggling a little.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Time for the kill. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She floored him with a kick to the chest, the full weight of her augmented density behind it, but as she moved in to finish the fight he dove into her. Tyree landed on her back hard enough to drive the breath from her lungs.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Zander had her pinned to the ground. She bucked but couldn't shift him. The triumphant smile on his face sent rage blazing through her gut. With hardly a whisper, she Misted out and went through him. Golden warmth filled her for a second before she pulled free. Zander pushed to his feet and spun to meet her, but she cranked up her molecular density and punched him hard in the chest. He collapsed, gasping and coughing. In one fluid movement she sat astride him at full density, and the air whumphed out of his lungs. She pinioned his arms with her hands, her face hovering mere centimeters above his.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As her breathing slowed to normal, a huge grin split her face. She'd made a vow to herself to jump him, and she'd done it. Perhaps it was childish, but it warmed her heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Your...reputation...is well deserved," he gasped.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"You're not so bad yourself," she complimented him. He'd fought well, but perhaps not quite with the determination—and certainly not the desperation—of most opponents she'd faced. "For a human."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Thank you. Perhaps we could try this again tomorrow?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Tyree laughed. As much as he could irritate the hell out of her, he was equally amusing. "If you want to spend most of your morning on the floor..."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He gazed up at her with that easy smile, making no effort to struggle. Most humans, without the influence of her pheromones and the distraction of her naked body writhing above theirs, would not have been so trusting. So compliant. She found herself staring at his mouth. What would it be like to kiss him, without the use of her talents? Would it be as satisfying? As sensual? The warmth of him, the firmness of his body beneath hers, sent heat spiraling through her abdomen.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Perhaps you could let me up now?" His words jerked her from such musings. What the hell was she thinking?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

Landlocked</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Blurb </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maribel dreams of the ocean, but has never been. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her overprotective aunt and uncle have kept her away from the place that calls to her at night. And trying to push them into taking her isn’t an option. She knows how much it hurts them to talk about the very thing that took her parents’ lives so many years ago in a boating accident. In fact Maribel never pushes anything with her loving adopted family, until she meets Jaron. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is unbelievably hot and the only boy that she has ever been attracted to. For the first time in her life she feels exhilarated and truly alive. She can tell that he feels it too, so why does he keep disappearing on her? And why is it that as soon as her secretive brooding knight shows up, her world is turned upside down? People are following her, she’s having terrifying nightmares, and she suddenly gets the feeling that her beloved aunt and uncle are keeping something from her. Can she unravel the secrets of her past without her life falling apart along the way? Will the truth forever change the way she sees the people that she loves?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Review</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maribel would love to go see the ocean. It calls to her and she dreams of it. Her aunt and uncle won't let her go near it and are very protective of her. She has everything she could want and is very well taken care of. She just wish she understood her dreams. Then a new boy comes to town and for the first time Maribel is drawn to a boy. Jaron is a mystery to her and while he seems like he would do nothing to hurt her, he does have a secret he is keeping from her. Maribel has noticed she has people following her and she needs to know what her uncle and aunt are hiding. She is in danger she just doesn't know why.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maribel is the pretty girl everyone seems to love. She isn't stuck up or snobby and isn't close to a lot of people. She knows something is being kept from her and she wants to know what. Jarod seems to always be around when she needs saving. He is keeping a big secret but it is for good reasons. I love these two characters as they are sweet at times but also have fire underneath. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a very enjoyable book as you can tell it is about mermaids but in a different way. Most of the story lets you know Maribel and what type of person she is. You see her dreams and see what she wants to know. There is an element of danger as someone is after Maribel you just don't know why at first. Getting to know all the characters was a joy. There is the falling in love for the first time as well in this story and the author has written it in a good way. There is a reason Maribel is drawn to Jarod and she has to see how she truly feels. There are a few twist and turns that you may not see coming and I will say the ending really surprised me. I did not see it coming and need to know what happens next. If you like YA paranormal books, books about mermaids or just an engaging read I would recommend this one.</div>

Claimed by the Alpha (a BBW Werewolf Shifter Romance) (The Cull #1)</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blurb </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*This short story contains explicit sex. It is not intended for readers under the age of 18. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anna Davis has accepted that her four-year battle with cancer is finally over. With only weeks to live, she makes peace with her life and makes arrangements for her death.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Twenty years ago, Anna fell in love with Conor Evans at the wrong place and in the wrong time. She’d had to make the toughest decision she’d ever faced—and let him go. Now at the end of her life, he’s offering her a chance to finally follow her heart. He has invited her to the cull—a tradition of transformation from human into a lycanosapien by “bite and blood.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anna has her reasons for refusing Conor, even if it means only living another month, but Conor refuses to give up on the only woman he’s ever loved—not without a fight. Anna has another tough choice—go back to her frail humanity or accept Conor’s invitation and…claim.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Review</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anna has made her peace with dying. The cancer she has fought is about to win and she is ready to let go. All that changes with the arrival of Conor. She loved him many years ago but wouldn't leaver her unhappy marriage for him. Conor can change Anna and save her but she fights him. She has reasons for not wanting to live forever. Conor will not give up and tries his best to convince her to become a werewolf. They both love each other they just have to see if Anna is brave enough to fight to live.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a quick entertaining read. I liked Anna from the start. She is dying but still doesn't jump at the chance to live forever. She worries about her family and leaving them behind if she becomes a werewolf more than she worries about dying. She could have had Conor years ago but she would not cheat on her husband. Se is a very amazing person. Conor has for years tried to cure people using his werewolf blood. Anna is his mate and he just has to show her she can become one of them. They have tons of sexual sparks between them. It may be short but it is a hot, good read.</div>

Jenny Undead (The Thirteen)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by J.L. Murray</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blurb </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Warning: This book contains strong language, zombies, knives, guns, and violence. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a world ravaged by disease and chaos, Jenny has a secret. She and her brother were part of a gruesome experiment conducted ten years earlier in an attempt to stop the zombie apocalypse. If the rumors are true, her mother was the hated pathologist who released the disease in the first place, leading to the destruction of government, civilization, and life as we know it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Despite the constant terror of the undead, Jenny is as happy as a post-apocalyptic girl can be. She has friends, she's good with a knife, and she has Declan Munro by her side. But when she hears her brother might still be alive and living with the Underground, a religious group hiding in the now-defunct subway, Jenny jumps at the chance to find him. She infiltrates the group to right the wrong she caused when she ran away, leaving him in that lab.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When she finds him, though, Casey is not at all what she expected. He's been turned. And the impossible happens when Jenny is bitten. She and Casey are dead, but they're not like any other rotters. Their minds are still intact. And there are others: Thirteen children survived the mysterious experiments, and it’s up to Jenny to find them and bring an end to the plague. But not everyone wants the chaos to end. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Between battling her hunger for living flesh and the all-encompassing rage that goes with it, and the realization that a killer is stalking both the living and the undead, Jenny has her hands full. Coming between a dead girl and the people she loves is a big mistake. Because if you can count on one thing, it's this: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You wouldn't like her angry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My review</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jenny is living in a world of rotters. She is trying to stay alive and find her brother. She ran away years ago and now wants to find him and hopes he is safe. She is tough but she is also scared someone will find out her secret. Her mother is rumored to be the reason for the zombies and she did experiments on children looking for a way to stop the zombie apocalypse. Jenny and her brother Casey were some of the children she experimented on. Jenny also had to deal with more horror than the rest. She puts herself in danger to find her brother and when she does she is in for a surprise. Casey has been bit and died but he isn't like the other zombies. He has kept his mind and is just like people still alive. Jenny gets bit and finds she is the same way. There is thirteen of them that were experimented on and now may be the key to saving the world. Jenny is different than the others and everyone seems to be after her. She is the key to fixing it all. She won't take threats lying down and goes after those who harm her loved ones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really enjoyed this book. I have read a few zombie books were they kept their mind but Jenny is a great character. She rushes into things and even when she gets turned and hungry she does everything she can to keep from hurting others. She is in love but would rather he stay away than risk her harming him. She is being told all kinds of things and doesn't know who to trust. Declan loves Jenny and seems to be the guy most are afraid of. He isn't afraid to kill and usually kills any zombie he sees. I will say I worried he would kill Jenny when he saw her. He does go a little crazy but only because he loves her. He is a great guy no matter what others think as he wants to stay near Jenny even when she is changed. There is so much going on in this book. Like you would think there is always danger or something happening and now they have to deal with people wanting them and government secrets. I loved every bit of this book and yes even the sad parts. They show you Jenny's softer side. I will be looking for the next book as I have to see what happens next. If you enjoy books with zombies be sure to pick this one up.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone! Today we have an interview with author Kenra Daniels and Azure Boone along with info on their soon to be released book. Kenra is the one who has filled out the interview!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your book(s) about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Archangels Creed is about an elite group of warrior Archangels who are sent to Earth to combat Satan's new plan to win in the war against good. They've found a way to use the passion of a couple in love to create a Holy Warrior, allowing them to live and fight on earth. The only problem is, humans don't act as they were predicted to, and the first Archangel sent ended up falling in love with a human woman. To protect the balance of the mission, all the other Archangels must take wives.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>These books are filled with flawed, realistic characters, sizzling intimate scenes, and various battles between the two factions.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you tell us a little about yourself?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Kenra is in Kentucky, married almost 28 years, with one adult child and raising her 3 young grandsons. Azure is in Louisiana, married 22 years, and has 9 children.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>We're both in our mid-40s and when we met on a tiny little writing forum 5 years ago, we found we had a great deal in common besides writing. We quickly became critique partners, helping each other with our writing, as well as very close friends. The natural progression of our relationship was to become co-authors, and Archangels Creed gives us that.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What started your interest in writing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Kenra started writing at a very young age, and dabbled at it over the years. When chronic illness left her unable to continue her teaching career, she turned to writing.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Azure began writing a few years ago, hoping to make tons of money. She didn't count on all the hard work it took to write well. But she kept at it.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are your currently working on?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>We're working on "Summon Zool" right now, the 5th novel-length book in Archangels Creed. We also have 5 novellas in the series, and more, both novels and novellas to come.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How long did it take you to get your rough draft finished on your latest release?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>About 6 weeks.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you could be any paranormal creature what would you be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I think we'd both be Archangels, lol.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the first book you remember reading?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I remember a few childhood books, but the book that hooked me on reading was "Mustang, Wild Spirit of the West" by Marguerite Henry. I was in 3rd grade and got in trouble for checking it out from the library too many times. The librarian pointed me toward Ms. Henry's other books when she realized I was re-reading and re-re-reading, lol, and I was hooked.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How did you come up with your title?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ummm, not sure! It just sort of appeared out of nowhere.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who is your support team?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Both our husbands do what they can to help out, and we also have our exceptional Street Team. Our War Chamber, a few of our most active supporters, is an amazing group. Amanda Muller creates our teaser images, and Tracey Moore Presley creates amazing bling swag and jewelry items for us. Seregon O'Dassey is our media advisor. Other members, Sandra Wilcher Goudie, Adrienne Allem-Samson, Denise Gardner, Kathy Moore, Miya Grubaugh, Marci Paralez, Lisa Jester Pearson, Cynthia Morgan, Libby Barnes and a couple of others, are awesome at finding pimping opportunities and other ways to promote Archangels Creed. And none of it would work without our PA, Gloria Esau. She's a wonderful friend and goes above and beyond to help us.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you do when your not writing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Azure is fully occupied with homeschooling the 6 children she has still at home. Kenra stays busy riding herd on three rambunctious boys, the eldest being almost 6.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the lastest book you read?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Meat Market by James Chalk</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where did you get the idea for your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I think a video game character was the initial inspiration for Kassern, the first of the Archangels. From there, everything around us became fair game to be incorporated into the stories.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are any of your characters like you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I think every writer puts parts of themselves into some of their characters, but we make a conscious effort to keep ourselves out of our characters.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What genres do you write in?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Paranormal Romance and Erotic Romance</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you will never write about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>We'll tackle most things, no matter how taboo, but neither of us is comfortable writing same sex couples. It's a mindset we just can't achieve.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you have a favorite quote from your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Sex, within a loving and committed relationship, is a divine gift intended to be fully enjoyed by both partners. - Paraphrasing Archangel Uriel from "Summon Kassern"</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you would tell aspiring writers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Write and write. Always strive to improve and don't get 'hooked' on your own words. Read everything, good or bad, and any genre. There's something a writer can learn in it all. Analyze books to find what works, what doesn't, and how incorporate it into your own writing. Learn good writing mechanics. Bad grammar and punctuation is not a style. It simply confuses readers. When you know the rules, you can judiciously break them to achieve specific effects.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The most important is to make time to write. If you don't write, you aren't a writer. It might mean reducing the time you spend watching TV, or playing online games, or on social media, but if you're going to write, it has to be done. By the time you watch a 2 hour movie, you could have 2000 words written on your book. Priorities.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If zombies attacked what kind of supplies would you want?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Other than the usual survival gear and weapons, paper and pens to write and books to read. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who designed your cover(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Azure designs most of our covers, with input from Kenra.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you learned anything from writing your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>We've both learned to trust our instincts for the story, and to complete projects.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the hardest part of writing your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Making sure we don't sound preachy with some of the moral and religious elements, and justifying how the Archangels have sex without breaking Divine Law.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you could sit down with any author dead or alive who would it be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
J<b>R Ward is the obvious answer, but we'd both choose each other as well, simply because after about 5 years of being close and constant friends, we still haven't met in real life.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you cowrite a book with any author who would it be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Again, we'd choose each other. Our working relationship is unique, in part because we're totally honest with one another. If one of us doesn't like something, we work it over until we arrive at a compromise. We keep our egos entirely out of the process and gladly accept criticism from one another.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your favorite paranormal being?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Archangels </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you react to a bad review?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>It depends. If the review is legitimate and the person truly just didn't like the book, okay. But if they leave a bad review because they didn't read the description, etc, we're annoyed by it. But either way we don't respond publicly.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you keep a notebook near your for when new ideas pop into your head?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Yes, and we also keep a running list of ideas in a document.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you write a series do you reread your previous books before you begin the new one?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
S<b>ometimes, if we need to work closely with a character that starred in an earlier book, it's necessary to reread to get the voice right.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does much research go into your novels?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Sometimes. We use current events, and sometimes regional settings that must be researched. And we often check details.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you wish to say to your readers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>We appreciate you more than words can say. You inspire us to continue the series even when other work would be easier and make us more money. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Description for "Summon Zool" coming May 31</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
12 Archangel Warriors are to be sent to Earth to prevent their Fallen Brethren from setting off Armageddon prematurely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zool, the Onyx Warrior, approaches the Mission from a different point of view than his Brothers who've already arrived. Kassern's lack of discipline might have doomed the entire Brotherhood of War to Holy Matrimony with female humans, but Dorn, Toren and Lyght carried equal blame. They had surrendered to the weaknesses of their human flesh, and to the women they selected as brides.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A former Fallen Angel, Zool has no intention of going that route. Even if it kills him, he will dominate. The bride he chooses will be an obedient woman, dedicated to the their mission and willing to fight at his side. If only the infuriating Tina would get out from under his skin!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And his couple, recently rescued from a Satanic Coven, could make things a bit easier. The opinionated male insisted Tina would make a formidable warrior. It was true, but Zool didn't need anyone to tell him that. And the woman acted as if Tina becoming the final member of his Quad was a foregone conclusion. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lesser Warrior might be tempted to give in, but not Zool. He'd learned all about resisting temptation as the prisoner of a demonic warlord bent on breaking him. A mere human woman was nothing compared to that.</div>

Wolf with Benefits (Pride #8)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Shelly Laurenston</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blurb</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ricky Lee has no plans of getting serious about anyone, but he will protect Toni Jean-Louis Parker. Not just because he’s been hired to do so, but because it’s the right thing to do. And if that means traveling around the country with one complicated She-jackal, dealing with chocolate-eating wild dogs, instigating trouble between his brothers, and having the most amazing sex he’s ever had…well, who said his job didn’t have perks?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Toni doesn’t know how she keeps getting herself into these situations. But even she has to admit there’s something about Ricky Lee Reed that she finds kind of interesting…and downright sexy. Now they just have to survive long enough to figure out if what they have is worth fighting for…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Review</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Toni comes from a big family of Jackal shifters. She is the only one of the children who really doesn't have a gift. She is the oldest and tries to keep her siblings in lone and in order. Never really having a chance to be on her own she welcomes the chance to be director of travel for a hockey team. She only has to deal with Ricky Lee the wolf shifter hire to protect her. Ricky Lee is always down for a good time and he would love to have a good time with Toni. They have much to deal with from bear shifting hockey players to humans after Toni's family. The more he is around Toni the more Ricky Lee wants more than just fun with her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have read a few books in this series and enjoyed them all. This one is a great one not really for the romance in it as that just didn't click for me. It was more about all the amazing characters. I liked Ricky Lee and his charm and how he seemed kinda laid back. He has so much more going on than what you see and believe at first. Toni always seemed to feel left out in the gifted department but she is so great at trying to keep everything together. I loved her siblings and anyone who reads this book as well. From the start you see just what a handful they are. Get ready to laugh from the start with them. This book is packed full of laughter and danger at times. All these shifters play a great part in this book. I also like the fact that the shifters don't stick to just being with there kind. Who would think a jackal and a wolf. The author does a good job pairing them. I just didn't connect with them as a couple. I look forward to more in this series and all these characters. If you like a paranormal series that has romance, laughter, danger and so much more give this one a try.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone we have an interview with Author Stephanie Summers today and info on her book!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your book(s) about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Craving is the first book of The Willow Creek Vampires Series. As of now, I have three books planned in that series. Craving introduces Sabine Crowley. She lives in the town of Willow Creek, where vampires and the founders of the town have struck a deal that’s been upheld for the last 200 years. In exchange for protection from other vampires and supernatural creatures drawn to the area, one human is chosen every ten years to live with the vampires and provide sustenance to the vamp they’ve been paired with. This time, Sabine is chosen. She’s devastated even though she’s known most of her life this was most likely going to happen. She is paired with a vampire, Remy, who would rather be anywhere else in the world but Willow Creek. He’s been summoned by his maker who happens to be the vampire lord in town. There is an instant attraction between the two, though neither one can stand to be around the other, or at least try hard to convince themselves of that. Craving explores a little about the town, but mainly focuses on the interactions between Sabine and Remy and allows the reader to watch as their relationship forms and grows. The next book in the series, tentatively titled Haunting, will explore more of the town’s background along with Sabine and Remy’s trials and tribulations. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What started your interest in writing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I’ve always had what I would call a creative brain and I’ve always had very vivid dreams. Some scenes from dreams I’ve had have stayed with me for years because they were so detailed. I also find myself lost in thought in my own world at times, mostly when I’m trying to fall asleep. I decided one day a little over a year ago that maybe I could put some of these thoughts and ideas on paper and make something others would enjoy reading. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are you currently working on?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I’m currently working on Haunting, which is book #2 of The Willow Creek Vampires Series. I also have an untitled rock star romance in the works as well that I’m about half finished with. I’m aiming to have both of them released later in 2014. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How long did it take you to get your rough draft finished on your latest release?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>It actually only took me a month. I participated in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). This is held every November, and the goal is to write a full 50,000 word novel in one month. I somehow managed to complete that and spent the next three months revising and editing until I got to a version of the story I was satisfied with. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you could be any paranormal creature what would you be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Either a vampire or a witch. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the first book you remember reading?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I’m sure there were others before, but the first one I remember reading and falling in love with was Interview with the Vampire. It was not long after the movie came out, and I think I was maybe 12 years old. I bought the book for my sister for Christmas, and hurried up and read most of it before I gave it to her! Then I took it and finished it before she had the chance to read it! Not a bit selfish at all…</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How did you come up with your title?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Willow Creek came about because I wanted to have a series revolving around a specific town. I always loved weeping willow trees and decided to use the word willow. I then just sort of ran through a list of words to see what willow sounded best with. As far as Craving, I was listening to a song and the words kept coming up and it just fit the theme of the book. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are any of your characters like you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I think my main characters tend to have a little bit of me in them, but I try not to make them identical to myself. I don’t think that would be any fun to write. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What genres do you write in?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Currently I write in the paranormal romance and contemporary romance genres, but I’m considering branching out at some point. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you will never write about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I would never write about a situation where a person is raped and they end up enjoying it. I know in some romance novels, more so in the 70s and 80s than more modern ones, there were story lines where the heroine is raped by the hero and she gives in to him and it’s just fantastic and they fall deeply in love. I’m sure there are people who enjoy reading those types of stories, but I won’t write one. Rape doesn’t lead to love.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you would tell aspiring writers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Just keep writing. Simple as that. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your favorite paranormal being?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I’m a sucker for vampires. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you react to a bad review?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I try not to focus on them too much, and weed out the ones who have nothing constructive to say from the ones who do offer suggestions. If a reviewer points out a specific flaw or point they didn’t like, I look at it and see if it’s something I can improve. If the reviewer just says something along the lines of, “This sucks, story is horrible,” I tend not to take them as seriously because they aren’t really saying anything constructive. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you keep a notebook near your for when new ideas pop into your head?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Absolutely. I carry it to bed with me in case something strikes me in the middle of the night and it’s on the table beside me when I’m lounging around in my living room.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you write a series do you reread your previous books before you begin the new one?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Yes. Even though I wrote the story and have been over it a hundred times, there are still minor details I might forget. So not only do I read through it before I begin the next one, I also do a skim through again somewhere near the middle of writing the next one to make sure there is continuity. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does much research go into your novels?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>If I write about a place that actually exists I try to look into it to make sure I’m describing something correctly. I also research places and eras of history if I have characters from that place and time.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you wish to say to your readers? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Thank you! Thank you for taking the time to be interested in me and my writing. Thank you for giving me the chance to entertain you. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Craving (Willow Creek Vampires Series) by Stephanie Summers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blurb </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A small, idyllic town nestled in the Appalachian Mountains is home to a thriving community. People are happy, crime is practically nonexistent, life is good…unless you’re Sabine Crowley, who has been chosen to be the next blood bag for the vampire lord who has protected the town from otherworldly creatures for 200 years. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sabine has big dreams for her life, and none of them include becoming a vampire’s concubine. On her 18th birthday, she seeks solitude to process the cruel turn her destiny has taken. As she sits alone in Cleary Park, a sexy stranger approaches her. He’s tall, mysterious, handsome, and a complete jerk. He soon reveals himself to be a vampire and she’s terrified of him and her strange attraction to him. She wants to get as far away from him as possible, yet finds herself wondering if she’ll see him again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remy, the cocky newcomer vampire, has been summoned by his maker, Bastian, to take his place beside him in the hierarchy of vampires inhabiting Willow Creek. He’s none too thrilled to be stuck in a boring little town in the middle of nowhere where he’ll have to feed exclusively from the girl he’s been paired with. He’s repulsed by the whole situation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Sabine tries to run away from her fate, Remy is forced to follow and bring her back. They’re unwillingly thrust into each other’s lives and reluctantly find an undeniable attraction between themselves. Will they ever look past their contempt for one another and act on their urges? Or are they destined to hate each other forever?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone! Today we have an interview with Author Cindy Ponds Newell.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are my books about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> They are all about ghosts, with the exception of One Grave Secret, which is a serial killer thriller. My latest, Attached, also includes a demon. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What started my interest in writing? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I've always been fascinated in ghosts, so why not write about them?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do I do when I'm not writing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I love going to yard sales, thrift shops, crafting and reading. I also love working in flowers and being with my three children and my husband of twenty years.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How long did it take me to write my first manuscript?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The norm for all of my novels is about two to three weeks. When the mood to write hits me, I'm on a roll!</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What am I currently working on?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> Two Grave Mistakes, the sequel to my psychological thriller, One Grave Secret. I plan to release this one in the fall, maybe sooner. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first book I remember reading? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Gus The Friendly Ghost. I also read many of Carolyn Keene's Nancy Drew books. My fascination with ghosts and mysteries goes way back!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone we have an interview with Author Zabe Truesdell and info on his book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your book(s) about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-It's about Thomas Salazar's death, and his discovery that the after world was nothing like he thought it would be. Now he's finding himself caught between forces that could have serious effects on the worlds of the living and the dead. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What started your interest in writing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-I've always loved telling stories, from the time I was a little kid. All my toys were stars of many a weird tale. As I grew up I started playing a lot of Role Playing Games, which I found to be another great means of story telling. The older I got the more I got into writing down some of the stories I came up with. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are your currently working on?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-The sequel to Waking Up Dead, which is tentatively titled "The Glacier of Gods and Monsters".</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How long did it take you to get your rough draft finished on your latest release?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>- It took roughly a year, start to finish. During that time there were about 8 major rewrites, and who knows how many minor ones. I finally had to stop and say "It's good enough. It's time for it to go out into the world" then move onto book two. Every time I read it, I found something I could improve on. Still do, but since it's out in the world now I've convinced myself to let it go.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you could be any paranormal creature what would you be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-Dragon. Flight, Thousands of years life span, and love of art? Why not?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the lastest book you read?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-The Emperor's Soul, which was a short story by Brandon Sanderson. Before that it was Neil Gaiman's Ocean at the End of the Lane.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you would tell aspiring writers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-Write. Then read it then rewrite it. Then have other people read it, then rewrite it. It's great to get that first draft down, but there's always room for improvement!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who designed your cover?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>An amazing artist from Malaysia named Greg Bain. Great guy, You can check out his work at GregBainArt.com</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the hardest part of writing your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-Marketing! Writing is the easy part. Getting people aware that your book exists... that's tricky!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you could sit down with any author dead or alive who would it be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-Alive would be Neil Gaiman, but dead, well I think I would have to go with Mark Twain. How amazing would his conversations be?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does much research go into your novels?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-I grew up reading mythologies from around the world, and work a lot of them into my books. I do go back and research many of them as I write to make certain I get some of the details accurate. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you wish to say to your readers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>-Enjoy the book, and by all means feel free to send me feedback! I love hearing from readers! Thanks!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>

Waking Up Dead (River Sanctuaries) by Zabe Truesdell</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blurb </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"You know, I thought when I died.... I really thought at the time that was the end of my goodbyes. Either the Good Book was right and I was headed to a place of endless happiness, or it was complete rubbish and I would just cease to be. Either way I was prepared. But this... after all this time I am still not prepared for this." </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thomas Salazar didn't know what to expect when he died, but itcertainly wasn't Jack Macintyre. Yet here he was, dead, with Jack standing there offering him a job. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a world where reality can respond to your every thought, a job that offers endless surprises can be enticing. Leaving life behind, however, isn't easy and the job holds its own risks. To complicate matters, the more souls he meets, the more Thomas realizes that everybody, including Jack, has an agenda they're not fully disclosing. Even Thomas's childhood pet seems to have secrets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"How is it that death is so much more complicated than life?"</i></div>

Hi everyone! We have author Eden Ashe with her Top Ten Romantic movies to watch and info on her books.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eden Ashe's What is your top ten Romantic movies to watch?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(No particular order)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Moulin Rouge! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because...wow. I've seen it a hundred times and it still rips my heart out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Imagine Me & You</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the idea that in an instant you can lock eyes with someone and find your soul mate. That it's their heart and soul you fall in love with, not their looks or gender. That it's about finding that person and connecting with them, loving them, on every level. Plus: YOU'RE A WANKER NUMBER NINE!</div>

I don't care about the romance, really, up until that final performance and he raises his fist in the air. And that kiss. Love that kiss.</div>

10. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can, have, and do watch this over and over again. The idea that no matter what obstacles you throw at them, certain people will always find their way back together. </div>

The Dragon's Heart (Dragon Lore) by Eden Ashe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blurb</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“We’re dragons. We don’t do the mushy friend thing.” - Daniel</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The dragon-shifter king will do anything to keep his mate alive…even if it means war.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After millennia as king of the dragon-shifters, Daniel Ashborne wants a little peace and quiet, especially from the beautiful Hollywood starlet who haunts his memories. His escape tactics end abruptly when he is called to the ER to save the one woman he wants to forget, but who now bears his mark.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shelby Kincade’s life and movie career were nearly destroyed when Daniel vanished a year ago. Now he’s back, claiming they have been accidentally mated. Getting over him once was hard enough, but she must choose either the life of her dreams or the man she can’t live without.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With peace finally on the horizon between the dragon-shifters and the Hunters, an assassination attempt on the dragon king and his mate shatters everything. Tensions rebuild as Daniel and his loyal team of shifters try to discover who put out the hit. Enemy and ally lines are crossed, but in the end--after the battle ash has settled--no one could have foreseen who has plotted for their own gain.</div>

Can a kidnapped fairy and a human find love despite all odds?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nathan Alexander’s batty aunt has done it again. This time she’s sent him a rare plant he doesn’t want. Imagine his surprise when he finds a kidnapped fairy hidden within its leaves.

<div style="text-align: center;">
All her life Katenia was warned about the evilness of humans. Never was that proved more true than when she was kidnapped from her quiet valley home.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone! We would like to welcome Author Kyoko M to the page and blog today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your book(s) about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Black Parade series tells the tale of Jordan Amador—a Seer, or someone who can see, hear, and talk to ghosts, angels, and demons—and Michael O’Brien—archangel and Commander of Heaven’s armada. They met through the curious circumstance of Michael’s murder when he came to her as a poltergeist with no memory of who he was or what happened to him. Solving his case opened the doors to the violent and sordid nature of the archdemon Belial—a Prince of Hell who set his eyes on Jordan’s soul. The series follows the friendship, and eventual romance, between Jordan and Michael as they help ghosts with unfinished business find peace and prevent the demons from taking over. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you tell us a little about yourself?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I’m just your average everyday raging nerd-monster. I grew up reading Brian Jacques, Judy Blume, J. K. Rowling, a ton of Greek mythology, and assorted comic book series from Batman to Amazing Spider-Man to the Astonishing X-Men. I’m a die-hard dork for sci-fi films and urban fantasy tales. My love of reading led me to get a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. I write because I bleed words, day in and day out. I love the act of creating my own universe to run wild in and fill with all kinds of oddballs. If reading is escapism, then writing is getting to charter a spaceship to your planet of choice with all the coolest people you’ve ever known.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What started your interest in writing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A lot of different sources deserve credit. First and foremost goes to my mother, who used to read me books every night before bed. Secondly, I have to thank the brilliant minds behind Batman: The Animated Series, which captured my imagination as a young girl and made me want to tell stories as grand and exciting as the ones they did. I began with rudimentary fanfiction and eventually graduated to writing my own original fiction. As time went on, I realized I had more fun writing than I did in my first major in college—veterinary science—and so I switched my major. I never thought I could become a professional author until I met Jackson Pearce, an urban fantasy YA author who did a lecture on creative writing and publishing at the University of Georgia. She inspired me to decide take a chance on myself and my work, so I did. Thus, if I die a penniless nobody, I’m totally blaming her.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>All kidding aside, I became a writer because I love the act of storytelling. I love the freedom. I love the scope. I’ve watched all kinds of television shows, anime, cartoons, and movies, and read hundreds of books that made me realize that writing is one of the most fulfilling feelings one can experience. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are you currently working on?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I just finished the third and final installment of The Black Parade series, which is due in spring 2015. I’m currently preparing The Deadly Seven, a short story collection set during The Black Parade, for publication as well as the sequel novel, She Who Fights Monsters, due this July. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>When I’m not editing those monstrosities, I’m working on my epic high fantasy novel. I’ve been describing it to people as “Avatar: The Last Airbender meets the X-Men with a dash of Firefly.” It’s about a third of the way done and I plan to have it finished this year for publication in fall of 2015. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>After that, I’ve got a book I’ve been dying to write about a widower and his daughter who hunt dragons in modern day America. I’ve been keeping character notes and story ideas under my hat for almost a year now so I can’t wait to get working on it next. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How long did it take you to get your rough draft finished on your latest release?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Oh, goodness, just dredge up the pain, why don’t you? I started The Deadly Seven sometime in January and it proceeded to kick my skinny butt all the way through mid-April. For me, the trouble came from creating 21 unique stories that wouldn’t become repetitive or annoying and yet still fit the tone and continuity from the Black Parade. I had never written original short stories before, and so the main challenge was figuring out how to tie everything together, and yet allowing each piece to stand alone. The readers will be able to tell me if I was successful. I certainly hope I was able to pull it off. The only experience I’ve had with brevity is one-shot fanfics I’ve written in the past. I applaud short story authors now that I’ve given it a shot and I encourage any upcoming novelists to give it a shot someday. I guarantee you’ll learn a lot about the creative process when you have to keep it condensed and varied. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you could be any paranormal creature what would you be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Are wizards paranormal? Please say yes. If not, I’d opt for a werewolf over a vampire, if we’re going with the standard fair for paranormal fiction. I have no desire to be immortal or never be able to walk in sunlight again. Werewolves also have enhanced senses, which would be infinitely awesome. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the first book you remember reading?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume. I remember being that awkward, introverted kid, and I always related to what the narrator was going through. I read it so many times that my copy of the book split in half. It’s always been a classic to me and it always will be. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How did you come up with your title?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I think a lot of music-lovers can answer this one for me. The Black Parade of course gets its name from the My Chemical Romance breakout hit “Welcome to the Black Parade.” The titular “black parade” is a metaphor for death: a parade we will all someday join. It ties into what Jordan Amador does for a living, which is leading the dead towards their eventual peace, sort of like the drum major of the black parade. I loved the song and the imagery the phrase invokes. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who is your support team?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>My parents are huge supporters of my work, each in their own way, and I have a handful of friends who have my back as well. They are my confidants, my editors, and my critics. I run all my work past them because each of them comes from a different walk of life and can tell me when I’ve done something great, or need improvement. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The biggest contributors, though, are probably my mother and my soon-to-be-sister-in-law, who give me detailed feedback on the meat of my books. I always hire a professional editor, but the two of them let me know how they feel about Jordan as our heroine, Michael as the love of her life, and the infinite wickedness of the main villain, Belial. I trust them more than anyone else to tell me if my writing is compelling and where it can be improved. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I also have to give a shout out to my writing sensei, Andy Rattinger, who has been kind enough to offer advice on all three of the novels in the Black Parade series. He’s one hell of a scriptwriter and for some reason he took me under his wing. I can’t thank him enough for smacking me upside the head when I’m off the beaten path and pushing me to be a better, more confident writer. I hope all young authors get the chance to have a mentor of some sort because it makes the journey that much more bearable when you have a support system. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you do when you’re not writing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I like to draw every so often to relieve stress. I’m slightly above average—I’d never try to draw for profit and you’d agree if you saw my work. I’m also an avid reader by nature, but I’m more of a moviegoer than anything else. I love movies. I love the exciting, electric air of a midnight premiere of the latest superhero flick. I love the feeling of walking out of a theater after having my expectations blown away. I hate to be disappointed by a bad film, but I enjoy ripping it to shreds later if it truly deserved it. I could discuss and dissect films for hours on end. It’s why I someday plan to become a screenplay writer and move to LA to pursue filmmaking after I’ve written all the novels I want to write. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the latest book you read?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Unconsciousness of an Ethiopian Princess: Attack on Love by Talisha Harrison. She’s a great friend of mine with a lovely book of poetry that I highly recommend to anyone who has experienced the unending frustrations of dating, relationships, and love. She’s a masterful poet and one hell of a wordsmith. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where did you get the idea for your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I was taking a class on Greek mythology when I got the idea for The Black Parade. I recall getting this feeling that the modern equivalent to Achilles and Hercules were a little closer to home than I thought. However, I can’t give the gods all the credit. My first inspiration came from the 2005 film ‘Constantine’, starring Keanu Reeves and directed by Francis Lawrence. I know it’s not a faithful adaptation of the Hellblazer comics, but I really loved the idea of angels and demons on earth in our modern times. My second inspiration came from John Milton, author of Paradise Lost, the epic poem that I’ve adored since high school. I decided to meld the two ideas together and then put Jordan front and center because there aren’t enough women of color in paranormal and urban fantasy stories. I wanted to see someone with Jordan’s background tackle the hellish tasks of fighting otherworldly creatures and falling in love with the fairest angel of all. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The idea for my epic high fantasy novel actually came from a dream, which is rare since most of my stories come from things I wish already existed but don’t just yet. I remembered standing in a stadium holding the hand of one of the main characters and listening to another character give a speech to the bad guys surrounding us. I didn’t know either of their names, but I got the feeling that we were a ragtag bunch of misfits and yet we were a family. We meant the world to each other, and we were standing against injustice. After I woke up, I scribbled down what I could remember and then just filled in the blanks. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are any of your characters like you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Jordan and I are certainly cut from the same cloth, but she’s got way more armor on than I do when it comes to other people. I like to describe her in my head as a hedgehog—prickly on the outside, but a soft belly underneath. She’s also not nearly as much as a nerd as I am. I spend most of my time fangirling over handsome celebrities on Tumblr or giggling madly at Internet reviewers and Let’s Plays, while she spends hers slaying monsters and reading classic literature. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I do admit, though, that one of the most surprising characters I’ve grown attached to in my time writing the Black Parade series is the recurring villain, Belial. We are nothing alike, and I think that’s why I have enjoyed writing him so much over the years. He is a self-absorbed, cruel, arrogant, lecherous, manipulative bastard, and he has allowed me to tap into the darkest corners of my personality. I love that he doesn’t give a crap about what people think of him and I love that he knows exactly what he wants and how to get it. I tend to be an introvert but I don’t have to worry about that when I write his scenes. He’s a callous jerk, he knows it, and he’s comfortable with it. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What genres do you write in?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I categorize my work under urban fantasy, but it’s alternatively paranormal fantasy. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you will never write about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>My first thought when I considered writing a novel was to do a modern day version of the Greek gods, but then I read Neil Gaiman’s American Gods and knew I could never get anywhere close to writing gods as interesting as his, so I threw in the towel. I also don’t ever foresee writing about vampires or werewolves since every author from every walk of life has pretty much written about them and I’d have nothing to add. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you have a favorite quote from your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>As long as you promise it won’t make me look vain. Actually, yes. It’s a quote from the Seer Jordan accidentally killed who definitively began her story: “I know that right now things seem at their darkest, but there is an old saying: sometimes it’s darkest just before dawn. There is a dawn for you, and me, and for us all. So hang a nightlight by your bed and wait for the sunrise, angel.”</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you would tell aspiring writers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Don’t give up. You will have infinite chances to throw in the towel. The easiest thing in the world to do is not write. Ignore that cruel voice in your head that tells you no one cares and keep punching them keys, my dears. You’ll get through it if you do. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If zombies attacked what kind of supplies would you want?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Gasoline for the car, a machete, a crossbow, an M-24 sniper rifle, an automatic shotgun, tons of canned food and gallons of water, night vision goggles, a flashlight, a fully-stocked First Aid kit, an iPod, and an endless library of books to read while I wasn’t killing zombies. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who designed your cover(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A designer named Gunjan Kumar designed the cover for The Black Parade. Christine Savoie and Katie Litchfield both designed the cover for The Deadly Seven.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you learned anything from writing your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This job is not for the faint of heart, nor the impatient. Older authors warn you that it takes time to build sales, fans, and a reputation, but you don’t understand how much until you start. It’s incredibly painful and miserable, but the end result is still worth it no matter how huge or few the returns. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the hardest part of writing your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The post-40,000 word mark is by far the hardest part of writing for me. I wrote the first 50,000 words to the final installment to the Black Parade series in just a few months, but then I lost all my juice and couldn’t write for months afterwards. Keeping the momentum is a task in itself, let alone writing an ending worthy of the rest of the novel. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you could sit down with any author dead or alive who would it be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I<b>’d definitely love to sit down with John Milton and hear him orate Paradise Lost. It’s such a vividly beautiful reimagining of the fall of Satan and creation of life on earth that I can’t imagine what it must have been like to hear it from his own lips. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you co-write a book with any author who would it be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Though I could never write something as amazing as him, I’d LOVE to co-write a novel with Jim Butcher, author of the Dresden Files. Ever since I read Storm Front, I’ve been madly in love with Harry Dresden. Between the two of us, I think Mr. Butcher and I could make the world explode with sarcasm, nerdy references, and self-deprecating heroes. I deeply admire the way that he writes such a humble character who has these amazing powers and struggles with the idea of how to use them for good without getting corrupted. I also love the way he writes the supporting cast—each of them unique with their own hang ups, motivations, and strengths. I would learn so much if I could sit down with him and see his process. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your favorite paranormal being?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Vampires have been done to death—ha, don’t you love a good pun—but I’ve always liked them. The basic mythos stays the same, but I always enjoy different interpretations of what they’re like. I love the balance between civilized and murderous. Vampires always have a sense of style as predators who walk among us. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you react to a bad review?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Junk food and a marathon of one of my favorite shows, like Castle or Batman Beyond. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you keep a notebook near your for when new ideas pop into your head?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Yes. I actually have a file in my Documents called “Novel Ideas” where I dump any character notes, story notes, or story ideas I come up with on the fly. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you write a series do you reread your previous books before you begin the new one?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Of course. There is so much continuity to keep track of as well as reminding myself of the main characters’ desires, motivations, strengths, and weaknesses before they start their next journey. I’ve written four books in the Black Parade series now, so there is a ton of material for me to keep up with now. It can get tedious, but it is absolutely necessary to keep the story straight. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does much research go into your novels?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I often joke that the FBI has me on their watchlist for the sheer amount of bizarre things I Google on a weekly basis. I probably spend a few hours every week looking up locations, weapon specifications, climate, mythology, and fighting techniques. And don’t get me started on how much time I spend researching how to market my novels. It would make your head hurt. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you wish to say to your readers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I must express my sincerest thanks that you took a chance on me. You have thousands of authors to choose from, and somehow, you chose me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I hope that I continue to write entertaining stories for as long as you wish to read them.</b></div>

Jordan Amador. 21. New Yorker. Waitress. Mild alcoholic. Murderer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two years ago, Jordan accidentally shot and killed a Seer: a person who can see, hear, and talk to ghosts with unfinished business. Her crime came with a hefty price, too. She has two years to help a hundred souls cross over to the afterlife or her soul is bound for hell. Tough break. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As if that weren’t bad enough, two days before her deadline a handsome pain-in-the-ass poltergeist named Michael strolls into her life. His soul is the key to her salvation, but the cost just might be more than she can handle. Solving his death puts her right in the crosshairs of Belial: a vain, bloodthirsty archdemon who won’t rest until she’s his slave. Can she rescue Michael and save her own soul, or will they both be dragged down into the clutches of the eternal black parade?</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your book(s) about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Bound by Time is the title and it’s about an inherited magic, a love that spans centuries, an ancient demon, and an angel trying to protect.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you tell us a little about yourself?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I’m a writer, mother, and the ruler of the world inside my head. I’m also a lover of chocolate and coffee but never together. I garden and have a flock of chickens and I spent several years rescuing everything from dogs and cats to goats, and even a horse.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What started your interest in writing?</div>

How long did it take you to get your rough draft finished on your latest release?</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who is your support team?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>My husband is my biggest supporter. He is my cheerleader, my comfort when things aren’t flowing well and when I read my manuscripts out loud to catch awkward areas, he listens. Even to the paranormal romance.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>My mother is also a big supporter is often my sounding board when I’m trying to work story issues out. </b></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are any of your characters like you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I don’t think so. They are all far more interesting than I am</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What genres do you write in?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Epic fantasy and YA paranormal romance for now. I do have an urban fantasy planned and possibly a horror. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you will never write about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>erotica</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you would tell aspiring writers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Keep writing and don’t be afraid to let the voices in your head have voices in their heads.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If zombies attacked what kind of supplies would you want?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>I’ve learned a lot from researching aspects of my books. I’ve also learned determination.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the hardest part of writing your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Finding quiet, uninterrupted time to write. I have three children.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you could sit down with any author dead or alive who would it be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Robert Jordan</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your favorite paranormal being?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Either angels or Vampires….I don’t know though, I’m really fond of shifters too. I don’t think I can pick just one.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you react to a bad review?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I don’t. It’s one person’s opinion. I don’t expect everyone to love everything I write.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you keep a notebook near your for when new ideas pop into your head?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I don’t usually have to. Once a character shows up in my head with their story, they tend to stick around pretty firmly.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you write a series do you reread your previous books before you begin the new one?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I sometimes reread parts of them if I need to. Most of what I need is kept in notes.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It's her destiny to break the seal and his to keep her alive... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isobel Moore is looking forward to spending her summer break alone while her parents are overseas. Until she returns from college to find her home isn’t quite the welcoming place it used to be. The stained glass window her parents installed is more than just a beautiful piece of history; something sinister is sealed within the colored glass. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Isobel meets her new neighbor, Damien DeLuca, she discovers the gorgeous and mysterious stranger has plenty of his own secrets. Including the knowledge of what's happening in her home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As her world spins out of control, she unravels a past that not only tests her limits, but also everything she thought she knew. The darkness within the window yearns to be free and it will do anything to escape—including killing Isobel.</div>

What was the hardest part of writing your book(s)?</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does much research go into your novels?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you wish to say to your readers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The Guardians: A Vampire Novel: Feel the Fire by Jennifer Raygoza</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blurb </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I had life all figured out. We live. We suffer pain. We die. Death never bothered me much. It was love that scared the hell out of me, because love made you weak, and in my line of work there was no room for that. My name is Gianna Botticelli. I am the daughter and only female employee of a Los Angeles mafia boss. Today was supposed to be like any other day until Caleb walked into my life. He is sexy and mysterious and knows things he shouldn’t. I don’t like it at all, but I can’t help the way he makes me feel inside. There is something different about him. What is he? All I know is that after meeting Caleb things will never be the same as he introduces me into his world. A world unknown where the battle of good versus evil rages on. Sacrifices will be made, hearts will break and lives will be taken. How far am I willing to take this journey I keep asking myself? If I have to sacrifice myself to save everyone and everything, then the answer is easy. All the way.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone! Please give a welcome to Author Patricia Eddy to the blog and page today. We have info on her book and an interview with her today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your book(s) about? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I write books about all sorts of paranormal creatures. By the Fates is a series all about witches, humans, and devils. Secrets in Blood is a twist on the classic vampire tale. I write about strong, capable, kick-butt women and the alpha men who fall for them. I'm a sucker for happy endings, but I also like the dark side of society, so my characters usually go through some pretty intense experiences. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you tell us a little about yourself? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I've been a writer my entire life. I write every day, even if it's just for ten or fifteen minutes. I can't stop. I have four books out currently, and am planning on three more books this year including a non-paranormal erotica novel. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What started your interest in writing? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I can't really say. I've always written. I remember sitting at my parents' kitchen counter when I was no older than seven or eight typing out little stories on their first computer. I really ramped up my writing during a bad marriage. Writing helped me process my emotions and my stress. Even though my life is pretty good now, I'm still going strong. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are your currently working on? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I just sent my erotic suspense tale, In His Silks to my editor and I'm now going back to finish my elemental werewolf romance: A Shift in the Water. It's about a werewolf who's trapped as his wolf by an elemental (kind of a witch). When he gets free, he realizes that his rescuer is his mate. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How long did it take you to get your rough draft finished on your latest release? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Oh my. This was a long one. Six months. Though it was that long because I don't tend to work on one thing at a time. I was writing two other books during that time - on that's been published already and A Shift in the Water. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you could be any paranormal creature what would you be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This answer changes by the day. I love the idea of being a shifter. I'd love to be able to hide out as an animal sometimes. Plus, have you ever seen a cat or dog sleep? They sleep so completely and totally. But I'd also like to be a vampire because being nearly immortal would be awesome. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the first book you remember reading? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Oh my . I have no idea. probably a Nancy Drew mystery. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How did you come up with your title?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> By the Fates came to me easily and it really ended up shaping the novel. Secrets in Blood just made sense. But A Shift in the Water was a hard process. I went through dozens of titles before I came up with that one. When I choose a title, I always do a search on Amazon first. I don't want my title to be the exact title of another book. It helps for searching. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who is your support team? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I have a couple of amazing beta readers who give me great feedback (good and bad). My husband is awesome at doing dishes so I can write and I just hired the most amazing assistant. I'd be lost without her. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you do when you're not writing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> I'm a professional editor as well as an author, so I edit other indie authors. I love to run and do Barre classes and I have a full time job as well in technology. I do a little bit of everything-except sleep. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the latest book you read? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I just finished First Surrender by Katie Reus. She writes wonderful strong female characters. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where did you get the idea for your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> A lot of the time the ideas come to me in dreams. I tend to start out with a single scene in my head and build the story around that. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are any of your characters like you? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Oh, I think I have small pieces of myself in a lot of my characters. My heroines are the types of women I want to be and want to know, even if they occasionally do things that I hate or would never do. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What genres do you write in?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> I write paranormal romance, paranormal suspense, and erotica. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you will never write about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Nope. Nothing is off limits. I even have a memoir type non-fiction book with a few thousand words. I don't know if I'll finish it, but it's started. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you have a favorite quote from your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> "Clearly screwing a vampire doesn't mean you care for one." (okay, I didn't use the word screwing. My word started with f.)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you would tell aspiring writers? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Just write. Keep writing. You're a writer if you write. And if you don't write, you can't publish. So write. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If zombies attacked what kind of supplies would you want? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A very sharp sword and very comfortable shoes. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who designed your cover(s)? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ravven (<a href="http://www.ravven.com/">www.ravven.com</a>) has done all of my published covers. I just chose a new cover designer for the erotica series. Melody Barber. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you learned anything from writing your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Oh too much to type out! But mainly I'd probably say that I learned to not always listen to the little voice in my head that tells me I'm not good enough. I let it spur me on to make me better, but I don't let it discourage me. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the hardest part of writing your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Editing. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you could sit down with any author dead or alive who would it be? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Carolyn Keene. Nancy Drew had such an effect on me. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you cowrite a book with any author who would it be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Lindsay Buroker. I love he books. She was the indie author who really got me into writing. Hers was the first indie book that I read and I just loved it. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your favorite paranormal being? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>That changes regularly. Right now it's werewolves. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you react to a bad review?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> It depends. Most reviews have some kernel of knowledge in them I can use. I've been fortunate to not get many bad ones, but the few I have motivate me to try to do better. But I also know that I can't be all things to all people. So I read the review, let myself wallow for an hour or two, and then move on. If there's something there I can use, I use it. Otherwise I move on. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you keep a notebook near your for when new ideas pop into your head?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> I never go anywhere (other than to a fitness class or on a run) without my notebook. And even those places I usually have my smartphone so I can always email myself a note. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you write a series do you reread your previous books before you begin the new one? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Absolutely. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does much research go into your novels? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Definitely! I love research. It's one of the best parts of being a writer. I've learned to fight (a little), learned how to pick locks, and am about to take archery lessons. I also make sure that my geography is accurate and that my medical facts are as close to accurate as I can get without going to med school. I have a friend who is a nurse. He's helped a lot. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you wish to say to your readers? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Leave reviews! Share! And thank you to all of you who've sent notes of encouragement. Those mean the world to me.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>

Secrets in Blood (In Blood #1)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Blurb </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vampires have been living in the open for centuries, but the laws prohibit them feeding directly from humans. A group of young American vampires wants those laws changed and will do anything to accomplish their goal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An extremist religious group, believing vampires to be an abomination against God, works to develop a serum that will stay the vampires’ quick healing, effectively turning them mortal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While visiting America, Italian vampire Nicola Angliatti tries to rescue a lost little girl, only to discover she is being used as bait. Captured by the extremists, restrained in silver, his body is used to develop the serum. Years later, near death, he’s discovered by that same little girl, now grown. The attraction between the two of them is instant and inexplicable. Can Evangeline free Nicola from his silver bonds? And if she does, what will happen between them?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
An ancient prophecy. A secret clan determined to see the world returned to war. A witch marked for death. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ealasaid has just come of age when the devil clan binds her. They steal her name, her voice, and her virtue. Her magic suppressed, she is held in the dark for ten long years, tortured and alone. She prays for a death she knows will never come. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Raven is a powerful warlock, but though he has made a name for himself as a finder and a protector, he is largely unfulfilled. When the Fates send him to the witch, he has only to touch her to discover that she is his mate, the one he is fated to love for all eternity. He must free her and protect her or his life will be over. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once freed, Ealasaid fights against the darkness that still threatens. The fate of the world rests on her scarred shoulders, but with Raven by her side to share the burden, can she triumph?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey everyone! We are happy to welcome Author Adrianne Brooks to the blog and page today. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your book(s) about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I prefer writing paranormal/fantasy. There will usually be some aspect of romance in my books. I don’t always intend for it to happen that way but there’s often no helping it. I like looking at untold aspects of a story. Taking on an angle that most people don’t get to see.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you tell us a little about yourself?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I started writing when I was in the second grade. I entered some nationwide writing contest where I had to make a story and then do pictures to go with it. I almost won but then the judges told me that my children’s book wasn’t appropriate for children and I was disqualified. I’ve been writing ever since, but I’ve never mastered the art of a good kid’s story. Oh, also I eat a pint of ice cream a day and I own a cat. I imagine that my thirties are going to hit me pretty hard given my current lifestyle of debauchery.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What started your interest in writing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>When I was three or four my mom took me to the public library in Atlanta and it was so big that we had to ride an elevator to go to the different floors. I got a book about a princess who was given a pair of magical red slippers. The slippers made her dance until she died and it was the most beautiful thing I’d ever read then or since.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are you currently working on?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Dragon King and I was originally a standalone but enough people liked it that I was asked to write two more for the series. Right now I’m finishing up book three and making plans to begin a Young Adult series once it’s done. On a side note, I’m also working on the first book in a zombie series but I have no idea when that will be finished.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How long did it take you to get your rough draft finished on your latest release?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Four weeks. I usually set goals for myself so that I have at least one thing published a year, no matter how small it is. I’ve upgraded to the point where I can turn out a book a month.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you could be any paranormal creature what would you be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I would be a shaman. My grandmothers on either side were Native American and I love books that surround Native American culture and beliefs. I.E. Jane Yellowrock, the Urban Shaman Series, and the Stormwalker books.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you do when your not writing?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I read, or I watch ridiculous shows on netflix like Bob’s Burgers (Louise is my spirit animal).</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the lastest book you read?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Kim Harrison’s The Undead Pool</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are any of your characters like you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>My best friend text me when she first read Kissed by Moonlight and she goes, “This isn’t a paranormal romance. This is a biography. About you. With werewolves in it. You disgust me.” Well I added that last part but it was implied. In short, apparently I’m like Phaedra Conners.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What genres do you write in?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Romance, fantasy, science fiction, horror, and etc. I like to touch on pretty much everything.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you will never write about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Nope. During my work as a freelance writer I’ve written about pretty much everything, some of it pretty offensive. I’ve learned never to shy away from where the muse decides to lead you. I may not feel completely comfortable with a topic, but at the same time working on it helps generate new ideas.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you have a favorite quote from your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I dreamt that I danced.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Dressed in a glittering white gown with a slashed skirt and a button up bodice I was held in the arms of a man with golden hair and dark red eyes like old blood. His hair fell in waves down his back and his features were soft, like that of a man not fully grown. His smile was sharp, mischief ruled his face, and when I looked into his eyes I saw the Devil. There was a beauty mark beneath his left eye that fascinated me and in this dream I reached out to touch it as he spun me faster and faster around the dance floor.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Then in the dream... he started to cry.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">A river a honey fell from his eyes like rain and dripped from his nose to land between the upthrust rise of my breasts. It glittered on my skin like dull metallic gold and when I looked back up from it, the man's eyes sparked like liquid garnets. Old blood given life and purpose again.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I found myself entranced.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">In the dream...</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">In the dream I leaned forward, for this man for all his strength and power felt no hesitation in lowering his face towards mine, and licked the honey away so that it swam and sunk into my tongue, coating the cavern of my mouth in liquid gold made sweet. I lapped at his tears and he caught my eager mouth with his thumb. Held me open and still so that he could slip his tongue inside and taste what I’d fed upon. Hunger turned the taste into a caress, the caress into a dance.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Then the dance turned savage.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The almost cruel pressure of tongue and teeth forced my head back as he devoured me, and the sticky, sweet, residue still coating my mouth was washed away under the gentle slide of milk.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Honey and milk, honey and milk, I fed and drunk and tasted of him until I was trembling and throbbing. Until my hips pressed against his on their own volition.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">In the dream his eyes were blood, his fingers cruelty, the knife, when it came, bliss. Pain was pleasure and pleasure was pain and I danced and bled and screamed for him.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">In the dream...I met the Devil and he turned my world into blood soaked honey.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you would tell aspiring writers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Just keep swimmin’</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If zombies attacked what kind of supplies would you want?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A knife, some brownies, and an ipod that has gangasta rap and GaGa playing on repeat. I can handle myself from there.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who designed your cover(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Kellie Dennis from Book Cover by Design does all of my books and her work is beautiful <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bookcoverbydesign">https://www.facebook.com/bookcoverbydesign</a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What was the hardest part of writing your book(s)?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Letting other people read them. I’m always afraid that I didn’t do it right. Like I failed somehow or didn’t do as well as I should have. I think someone called it the creator’s curse or something. Where you improve during the course of a project so by the time you finish that project your standards and skills have changed. Which means that you’re never really satisfied with anything you do because you think you can always do better.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you could sit down with any author dead or alive who would it be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The list is endless, but the first name that comes to mind is Charles Dickens. I read a Tale of Two Cities in middle school before the teachers told us we had to and it was just so…I don’t know. I learned the true meaning of what it meant for a book to be considered a ‘classic’. It was the kind of story that made me think. I cried at the end of it. The only books that made me feel that way since then have been the Talisman and Black House by Stephen King, The Orphans of Chaos series by John C. Wright, Daughter of the forest by Juliet Marillier, and the Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It may seem like an extended list, but it’s so hard to find a book that really fucks with you on that level, you know?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your favorite paranormal being?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I like humans who have mind powers. The possibilities of all that they could accomplish is just fun to consider.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you react to a bad review?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>If it’s constructive, I learn from it. If it isn’t I start dropping four letter words and try to ignore them.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you keep a notebook near your for when new ideas pop into your head?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I have dozens of journals where I write all of my ideas, quotes, ect. I keep one in my purse at all times just in case something comes to me. When I die, my friend has orders to either burn it immediately or use it to make herself a millionaire.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you write a series do you reread your previous books before you begin the new one?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Nope. I never read a book after I write it. I’ll read sections of it. Get lost in huge portions of it. But I won’t read the whole thing from cover to cover. It’s funny because a lot of times readers will know more details about my series than I do. In fact, I read something the other day and I was all “Who the hell wrote that?” I was really pleased when I found out that it was your’s truly. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything you wish to say to your readers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Thank you for putting up with me. For liking me. For talking to me (I like talking to people about stuff). I love you guys.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: start;">The city of Briarcliff is full of secrets, and Phaedra Conners had spent most of her life digging them up. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: start;">Unfortunately, she may have bitten off more than she can chew when she begins working for the enigmatic, and charming, Gabriel Evans. Gabriel isn’t your average CEO, and all too soon Phaedra finds herself caught up in the deadly machinations of the Wild Hunt. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: start;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-align: start;">Between battling the Mad Sidhe and helping the two natured survive persecution, it’s all Phaedra can do to stay alive, let alone sane. She’ll find that following your heart isn’t nearly as easy as she’d once thought and that more often the not, the monster under the bed isn’t nearly as frightening as the one in the mirror.</span><br />

When a man is killed while trying to bring her an umbrella, she realizes that her condition isn't going away on its own and she’ll need to find a cure if she ever wants to live a normal life. </span><br />
