Featured Book: The Man by Emma Lear

Posted in , ,
Synopsis:
When magic and mystery become a part of adult memory, and children only know the hushed whispers in dark corners, people expect trouble at every turn. 

For Gin, her safety relies on those dark corners and the danger of the grimy British streets. Magic and fantasy are a long buried dream; until she meets the candle-maker. Thrust into his secretive world with just a sullen, shadowy guide for company, Gin clings to the edges until the heavily guarded line between life and fantasy blurs. 
As she chases her inevitable future to escape the echo of what lies behind, the world and all she knew of it becomes one final step into the unknown. (Taken from Goodreads)

Book Promotion: Street Food and Love by H.A. Enri

Posted in , , , ,
22432900
Synopsis:
Sole Eaby, seventeen, has a few complaints he’d like to lodge against life, the main one being that his dad, Cedro, has recently quit his job and withdrawn his entire life savings, which included Sole’s college fund. Why? To launch a food truck business he knows nothing about.

To cope, Sole uses his knifelike wit to moonlight as a stand-up comedian, and so far, it’s paying off. He’s not only replenishing his college treasury, he’s making people laugh; but it’s one person in particular he performs for. Her name is Ava. When the fated bond of humor joins the two, and they begin a sort of quasi-romance, things begin to seem somewhat bearable. Of course, that’s when an ill-timed event decides to put another spin on things. Just when Sole is ready to move on with his own life and disconnect himself from his father and the family business, he suddenly finds himself in charge of the food truck he desperately loathes. Here is where Sole must realize that the answers to love and life are not to be found apart but, rather, are more like a savory recipe: only by combining the ingredients will the wonderful flavors reveal themselves. When comedy isn’t enough, the future seems ever bleak, and a fledgling love has barely had a chance to bloom, where will Sole turn?

More About the Book (Tempted by a Rogue Prince (Eternal Mates Romance Series Book 3)):
An elf prince on the verge of losing himself to the darkness, Vail is maddened by the forty-two centuries he was under the control of a witch and forced to war with his brother. Now, he roams Hell seeking an escape from his terrible past and the heads of all who bear magic. When demons of the Fifth Realm capture him, he sees a chance to end his existence, but when he wakes in a cell to a beautiful female, he finds not death but his only shot at salvation—his true fated mate. 

Captured by the enemy of the Third Realm when the war ended, Rosalind has spent months in the cells of the Fifth Realm with her magic bound, forced to heal the new king’s demon warriors, and haunted by the lives she has taken. When she’s brought to heal an unconscious man, she discovers her only hope of escape has come in the form of her worst nightmare and the first part of a prediction that might spell her doom—a devastatingly handsome and dangerous dark elf prince.

Unwilling to fall under the control of anyone ever again, Vail must escape before the Fifth King can use him as a pawn in a deadly game of revenge, but he cannot leave without Rosalind, the woman who looks at him with dark desire in her stunning eyes and awakens a fierce hunger in his heart. A witch who drives him mad with need even as the darkness within whispers she will enslave him too.

Can Rosalind escape her fate as they embark on a journey fraught with danger and resist the temptation of her rogue elf prince? And can Vail overcome the memories that madden him in order to seize his chance for salvation and the heart of his fated female forever?

Excerpt:
Pain. It tore at him. Shredded his flesh. Smashed his bones. Devoured his soul. Blood. He needed it. Ached for it. Hungered. Darkness. It consumed him.

A floral scent swept around him, invading his senses, driving back the darkness and the agony. Nature. He was somewhere green and verdant, beautiful and soothing. He could see it in his buzzing mind, and could see it for himself if he could just get his eyes open.

He yearned to run his fingers through the tall meadow grass. He longed to lift the wild blooms to his nose and inhale their delicate fragrance. He needed to lay beneath the mighty oak and let the dappled sunlight play across his tired body as the melody of the branches swaying filled his mind. He wanted to breathe deep of it all and let it fill his soul with light.

Vail forced his eyes open, filled with a hunger to see the nature that brought with it such a sweet, enticing scent.

Black stone greeted his eyes. The rank odour of mould overshadowed the soft floral fragrance.

A dream?

Had he been dreaming of nature, a fantasy so real that it had crossed over into reality? He couldn’t recall the last time he had dreamed. Nightmares were his constant companion. Never dreams.

But there was no nature in his dark damp cell. No sunshine. No flowers. No meadow grass.  


No beauty.

“You’re awake.” The voice was female, edged with a quaver that spoke of fear, and a sense of familiarity.

He shifted his eyes down to her. Beauty and nature stood over him and he saw blue skies in her eyes and sunshine in the spun gold of her hair. A faint scent of wild roses clung to her. He didn’t remember her, or did he? It was hazy. Her face seemed familiar.

“Remain still,” she said and he complied only because he wasn’t sure he could move, not even to snap her neck or tear her throat out with his fangs.

Why would he do such a thing to the delicate little wild rose?

She trembled, her shoulders shaking so violently that her matted fair hair tumbled off them and down her front.

He wanted to reach out and sweep that hair back into place.

Vail became aware of the cold heaviness of manacles around his wrists.

Hazy things started coming back to him, slowly gaining focus in his weary mind. The demons had done this to him. He was sure of that. He recalled the fight and wanting death, and waking to this female. He recalled her saying he was bound.

They had him chained and had a female in his cell.

She was a trap.

Crushing weight pressed down on his chest and his throat clogged. They had sent her in to hurt him.

To abuse him.

He snarled and fought his bonds, desperately trying to break the chain between them. He was stronger now, although he didn’t know why. Power flowed through him, strength he hadn’t felt in as long as he could remember. He used all of it on the restraints, bowing off the cold stone slab as he fought them.

“Please keep still.” She reached out to touch him.

To lay her hands on his flesh.

Vail bared his fangs at her and rolled off the slab, hitting the floor hard enough to knock the air from his lungs. He kicked off, scrambling as he attempted to rise to his feet and placing as much distance between them as he could manage.

“Keep away,” he said in English, using her tongue.

She shot to her feet and he growled at her, flashing his fangs in warning again.

“I cannot,” she barked and took a step towards him. “If I don’t heal you, they’ll punish me!”

Fear shone in her blue eyes. Eyes that implored him to believe her as she took another hesitant step towards him. Her arms shifted, coming forwards, and metal rattled. His gaze dropped to her wrists and he blinked.

She wore the same heavy cuffs as he, and had worn them for some time judging by her scarred wrists. A foreign sensation bolted through him on seeing the pale streaks of silver and red on her delicate skin. A need that he didn’t understand.

He felt compelled to take her hand in his and smooth his fingers over the scars, as if that action could erase the ugly marks of her captivity and restore her flawless skin.

He had no such power, not over flesh and bone. Not anymore. He had forsaken it long ago when he had severed his connection to his people and his powers had withered over the endless centuries since then.

And he had no reason to desire to use it on this female.

“Please?” she whispered and he lifted his gaze back to meet hers. “I have to heal you.”

A healer.

What species was she? Many could heal and many of those appeared human.

Including witches.

He growled at her, unable to stop himself, a reaction to that word that would stay with him until death finally embraced him. She didn’t flinch away. She bravely stood her ground this time, although her heart missed several beats and he sensed the fear she held buried deep within her.


Not only fear of him. She feared the demons too. And something else.

Something unknown to him, but something he needed to understand. He wasn’t sure why. It ran deep in his blood, a compulsion he couldn’t comprehend and that made no sense to him. It tied him in knots, twisting his insides, making him feel useless and weak.

Cursed female.

He narrowed his gaze on her, studying her delicate features and the way she held herself, drinking in everything about her, searching for a clue as to the reason for his strange reactions to her. Perhaps they had drugged him. It was all a ploy to weaken him and lure him into her trap. They wanted to watch her bring him to his knees. They would laugh as he suffered at her hands.

They were attempting to play on his compassion, but that had been their mistake.

He had no compassion left.

It had been wrung out of him thousands of years ago.

“Please?” she said again and gestured to the slab. “I’m not going to hurt you. I just have to heal you.”

He didn’t want to lay on it and allow her to touch him. He didn’t want her hands on him. Caressing. Fondling. Groping. He snarled and flashed his fangs again, and she shrank back, a little gasp escaping her.

“I would do as she asks, Mate. She isn’t going to hurt you, but if she doesn’t do as ordered, the demons will hurt her.” The deep male voice was little more than a snarl and Vail cast a glance off to his left.

A male with long dark hair streaked with gold occupied the cell opposite his, casually leaning against the thick deep grey stone wall. Green eyes locked with Vail’s, holding him fast. Fae markings tracked up the male’s arms, flushed with blood red and ash black, a sign of aggression. He was handsome too, despite the thick dark beard. He folded his arms across his muscular bare chest, the twin cuffs he wore clanking and filling the heavy silence, but they had no chain between them.


If this male spoke the truth, then she did too, and the guards would punish her for her failure. Vail pressed his hands against the sides of his head, dug his fingers through his blue-black hair and clawed his scalp, raking his nails over it. Gods, he missed his claws. He missed his armour. He needed it back. It was the only thing that could ground him.

The male pushed away from the wall and moved to the bars. He wrapped his hands around them and his gaze slid to the female. Lingering. Possessing.

Vail bared his fangs and hissed at him, barely maintaining the human appearance of his eyes and ears. He had to hold on to his veil. He couldn’t let these people know what he was. Who he was.

The man shrugged and kept staring at the female. “I warned you, Little Girl. You play with vipers and you’ll get bitten.”

Synopsis:
The Betwixt Series includes Betwixt, Before and Beyond. 
Follow the lives of two teenagers who have to discover that sometimes to find your way, you have to get completely lost. This emotional series deals with the consequences of bad choices, young love... and the ultimate power of redemption. 

Betwixt
Beautiful, wild-child, Nicole Tepper, is hit by a car and left for dead. But when she wakes the next morning, Nicole finds herself in bed without a scratch. Perhaps she was more intoxicated than usual, as her mother is giving her the silent treatment and her friends are ignoring her as well. 

Things take a turn for the weird when Nicole soon discovers she is actually hovering between life and death. Her body is lying in the forest while her spirit is searching for anyone who can hear her. Unfortunately the only person who can is Dale Finnigan, the guy she publicly humiliated with a sharp-tongued insult that has left him branded. 

Desperate, Nicole has no choice but to haunt Dale and convince the freaked-out senior to help her. Will he find her body before it's too late? Or will the guy who tried to kill her with his car, beat him there and finish her off before anyone finds out? 

Before
In this prequel to Betwixt, find out who Dale Finnigan was before he became known as“scar-face”—the unassuming hero everyone underestimates.

Bonus Excerpt:
Her train of thought stopped abruptly as she passed her sister’s room. The door was open but there was no sign of her. Curiously, Val peered inside, the shopping bags on the floor by the bed catching her eye. She frowned then her eyebrows rose when she saw the hot pink iPod on the night table.
Where in the world did she get an iPod?
Before Val could stop herself, she stepped inside the room. She ignored the flash of danger zone in the back of her mind as she picked up the small device. Then she looked down into the closest shopping bag and saw something black and leathery.
What...
“Val.”

She bit back a scream as she whirled around.

Blog Tour: The Plan by Charlene Ammons

Posted in ,


Synopsis: Omega, Alabama in 1941 was a place that only story tellers could dream of.  Times were hard and faith was wandering; until Mode Lee entered the picture.  The handsome preacher brought what appeared to be a miracle after miracle to the tight knit community.  However, evil things lurked in the wake of the arrival of the "Man of God".  It would take a frightened, mentally unstable child; the mother of the county sheriff; and a wild natured redhead to bring the truth to light.  Everyone claims to have a plan.  Only One is The Plan.

Author Interview:
What made you want to become a writer?
I've been writing stories since I was in middle school.  For me, writing is my release, my therapy, my escape to a world better than the one I'm in.  I have the control over what happens.  I guess the best thing about being a writer is speaking without interruption.  I can say what I feel is important.  I can make people think just by speaking my mind.

Where do you get your inspirations from?
 My inspiration comes from everyday life.  The experiences I have had, things I have overheard.  My day to day life gives me plenty of material.  Every good thing, every bad thing.  Also the regional folklore from Northwest Florida gives me inspiration.  There is so much history here and I want to share it, with my own twist of course.


Other than writing books, what else do you do in your free time?
In my free time, I like to garden, bird watch, travel, take photographs, paint, and make jewelry. I also love to travel and collect antiques.

If you could work with another author, who would it be?
I really love PC And Kristen Cast and have enjoyed reading the House of Knight series.  I would think it would be awesome to do something with them.


What are major themes of your work?
My major themes deal with being different...there's nothing wrong with being the black sheep.  Also that looks are deceiving.   My stories involve strong, independent women in a time period when women were supposed to be seen but not heard.

Are there any recent works you admire?

There are several but I would have to say The Hunger Games Trilogy.  Especially the second book in the series, Catching Fire.

Which character in the book do you think you can relate to the most?
I probably relate the most to Lola.  She's the black sheep of her family.  She's hot-headed and opinionated.  She's a free and wild spirit but yet under all of that, she's broken...fragile.  Much like the honeysuckle vines that run rampant throughout Omega, her hometown.


What gave you the inspiration to write this book?
Inspiration for this book comes from several sources: my college studies of serial killers, my own personal experiences in small town life (dealing with hypocrites, whores, and people riding coat tails of their family name), regional ghost stories and true life events my family told me about from their lives growing up poor in the South during the Depression.

Blog Tour: Bad Blood By Ginny Lurcock

Posted in , ,

Synopsis:
High school senior Victoria "Tori" Reeve has it pretty good.  She's rich, she's smart, and she's popular.  What more could a girl ask for?  Sure, she's a little lonely, what with being single and her best friend going off to college and all, but she's got her work at the Spaulding Crisis Center to keep her busy.  When she gets a new boss in the very easy on the eyes form of Issac Larsen, suddenly her volunteer work feels a lot less like work.  Even if he does seem to cause Tori to break out into spontaneous fits of foot in mouth disease.  Somehow in spite of her blunderitis, Issac still seems to be interested in her a more-than-employer or even more-than-friends kind of way.

So really she should have known that things would go sideways. 


Trouble comes to Spaulding, and that trouble seems to be centered on Tori and the Crisis Center.  Is she really the focus?  Or does this all have to do with the new mysterious man in her life?  In her efforts to find out, Tori stumbles across some secrets.  Skeletons that might have been better off left in closet.  As it turns out, Spaulding is a hot spot for bad blood...


About the Author:

I am so bad at these, that it causes me physical pain.  No wait, that was a splinter...never mind.

Ginny Lurcock lives in New Hampshire with her husband whom she adores, her daughter, whom she also adores, and their cat.  Who she likes alright.


Oh, and her father, his two cats, her sister and her sister's boyfriend.


When not writing, she enjoys playing games (of the board and the video cariety) or reading to the point of obsession (she's not addicted, she can quit whenever she wants), watching intelligent television, mindless television, sports, movies and listening to music.  


Basically, she likes all the things.


ALL.THE.THINGS


And somehow she still manages ti find the time to be bored.


She also breaks the seal. (Taken from the back of Bad Blood)
