Thanks to Full Moon Bites Author Promotions for hosting this blog tour. I'm sharing my review of Michael Loring's Dehumanized today. Happy reading! ***************************** Summary: A deadly and currently incurable disease has been released as the result of an unknown experiment that went awry. Dubbed 'Lycanthropy' by the media due to its similarity to the horror movie genre depiction about werewolves, anyone infected begins to change, and every night of the full moon the 'beast' within is released. Within one year, lycanthropy spread throughout Europe, Asia and has now infected the USA. In an attempt to control and treat the outbreak, concerned governments have begun creating camps to contain those who are infected and to help find a cure. Despite rumors comparing these camps to the concentration camps of almost 70 years ago, the US government maintains these camps have the best interests of the public and the residents at heart. Expectatio...

HAPPY BELATED RELEASE DAY! I've read several of April Angel's (aka Milly Taiden's) works and I've enjoyed them all, so I'm please to share a little about her latest release today. Happy reading! She crashed his party and became his prize… According to one annoying Drex Callum, Chris is a “nosy reporter.” And maybe she is. She’s heard of the super secretive event known as the Seduction Party, and she won’t be content until she finds a way in. The last thing she expects to find is that Drex is the host. She’ll never get an invitation from her nemesis—unless she finds a way to get one herself. And breaking into his house is nothing if it means getting the scoop. But what she gets instead is an eye-full of the man himself, half-naked and more than she’d ever dreamed he could be in all her teenage fantasies. Drex has been fantasizing about Chris forever, and now that she’s a grown woman, he still has a hard time treating her like one. So when she shows up a...

Thanks to Bewitching Book Tours for hosting this blog tour. I have Susannah Sandlin here talking about doing research for Omega . Welcome! ***************************** How Stuff Works—Research in the Vampire World Research is a part of any writing process, but you’d think that in an imaginary small Southern town that’s eventually to become the axis of a vampire civil war, research would be minimal. But not so fast. The great thing about urban fantasy and paranormal romance—and my Penton Legacy series straddles the line between the two—is that it lies at the crossroads of reality and fantasy. So the sexy vampires and the women who tame them have to deal with some real issues. Here are some things I learned along the way in writing the Penton Legacy series, the most recent of which is Omega : --Army Underwear. Randa, the heroine of Omega is a former US soldier turned vampire while on active duty. She doesn’t like being a vampire and hasn’t done much to update her w...

I have RM Garcia with me here today to share a bit about himself and his book, The Foundlings . Please help me give him a warm welcome! ***************************** 3 Questions with RM Garcia 1) Tell us about yourself and your background. Well I was born and raised in New Jersey. My Family and I lived in and around the cities of Newark and Elizabeth. I have two siblings, and five step-siblings, so you can say I came from a large extended family. My childhood was split between the dreary streets of NJ and the Caribbean island paradise of Puerto Rico. At an early age I began writing stories and jotting down ideas. I’m an avid gamer and tabletop role-player, and these hobbies helped me learn how to chain together plots and characters. My best job ever was a nearby library branch. It didn’t pay much, but it didn’t matter to me, and I worked there all through high school. This is where my love of books grew. I discovered great authors like Piers Anthony, Orson Scott Card, and ...

For a moment his future seemed brighter with her in his life, and he started to believe he could be happy.

Donnie and Abbie now find their love and faith tested to their very limits, while someone or something else watches, waits and hopes. Title:   The Foundlings Series:   The ...

Thanks to Bewitching Book Tours for hosting this blog tour. I have Christine James here today sharing her playlist for The Chosen Series . Let's give her a warm welcome! ***************************** Playlist When I write I am taken to a completely different world. Like movies with amazing music scores, I have certain scenes I picture with certain songs. I listen to a wide range of music though; classical; rock; blues; alternative; punk. The lists of songs below are only a few of what I listened to as I wrote this series. These are the songs that I pictured in some of the intense scenes, and when I played them, I found it often helped.

Hey y'all. I'm very honored that Tara Lain named me a very inspiring blogger! Thank you so much! I am to name 7 things about myself and then nominate 15 other bloggers. Here's my 7 facts (warning they might be a little sappy): 1) I frequently fall in love with romance book heroes. I'm an absolute junkie. My biggest crush though has got to be Wrath from Black Dagger Brotherhood, with Z and V coming in at a close second. *swoon* I also adore quite a few contemporary ones too though, especially if I imagine them looking like Chris Hemsworth :D 2) I think I might be better at writing short stories than novels. Though I think being overly critical of myself too early (a first draft is supposed to suck) might be a factor in that...I'm a big chicken at this point, and have terrible self-discipline right now when it comes to making myself sit down and write. I also suffer from too many ideas, and not enough actual writing done > 3) There are a few aut...
