Making Love Out Of Nothing (Guest Post & Giveaway!)

kat047-218x300

  Kathleen’s Secrets To Making Love Out Of Nothing At All By Kathleen Creighton   It never gets old, sitting down, meeting characters who are born out of my psyche, discovering their flaws, highlighting their brilliance, finding their sensuality and confirming their mutual attraction… Oh, for Pete’s sake, of course it gets old!  I kind of imagine it does for just about any writer who has been around as long as I have. The trick is to find the fresh…the fire…the excitement in every new relationship.  Hey, isn’t that how you keep an “old” relationship going for the long haul,

Cover Reveal – Imaginable (+ Giveaway)

A close up of a beautiful young woman looking at the camera.

I absolutely adore J. Meyers. Besides being a fantastic author (you can read my thoughts on her first book Intangible HERE) she is one of the most genuine people I have (over the past 4 years of blogging) had the pleasure to connect with. So when she asked me if I would do the cover reveal for her newest novel Imaginable (which is due out in April) there was no way in H-E-Double Hockey Sticks I was turning the opportunity down. And…since I have been looking forward to this book for a while, I figured a few of you are as well. And what

And since I refuse to leave fabulous events like these (and trust me when I say it was freaking FABULOUS!!) empty handed I brought something back for YOU! What is it? Well, I’m so glad you asked. I brought back a signed copy of Opal. BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!! Not only is it signed by Jennifer. It is also signed by PEPE!! The excredibly

Guest Post by Julia Crane The Question: How did you come up with the idea for your book “Freak of Nature?”   “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” ~Arthur C. Clarke I often get asked how I came up with the idea for Freak of Nature since it’s so different from my other books about mythology. To me, scifi and mythology are really not that different. There is a possibility that either could be reality. Perhaps there really are elves that live amongst humans, or vampires that only come out at night. I think we need to have

The Sisters Montclair by Cathy Holton (+ FREE Download)

CATHY Holton Prof. Photo II High Res

Guest Post by Cathy Holton   Years ago, I took a job as an in-home caregiver.  It was one of those jobs you take when all the children are in school and you have a lot of time on your hands.  Not enough time to contemplate returning to a full-time job, but enough where you figure you ought to be doing something to add a little money to the family coffer. This was not a nursing position.  It was mainly just a “companionship” job.  I was to work two days a week to make simple meals, to make sure ninety-year-old

eldritch-conspiracy

    About The Series… In The Blood Singer Novels, vampires roam the alleys of Tinseltown, streetcorner psychics have real powers, and cops use memory enhancement spells. Bodyguard Celia Graves always thought she was an ordinary human, albeit one with a clairvoyant best friend and a ghostly little sister. Then a vampire attack turned Celia into an Abomination, forcing her to take food only in liquid form and giving a whole new meaning to the word “sunburn.” She’s slowly adjusting (therapy sessions and all) when she discovers that the attack awakened a hidden part of her heritage: Celia is part Siren.
