Celebrating the Release of Samantha Sommersby's UNDER FIRE


Today we're celebrating Samantha Sommersby's new release UNDER FIRE which is available in ebook from Red Rose Publishing!

Samantha lives in San Diego with her husband and fifteen year old son. She is the author of ten novels and novellas including her critically acclaimed Forbidden Series. In 2007, Samantha left what she used to call her "real life" day job as a pyschotherapist to pursue writing and working in the publishing industry full-time. She now happily spends her days immersed in the world of Forbidden, a world where vampires, werewolves, and demons are real, where magic is possible, and where love still conquers all.



It’s 1917 and Lieutenant Jackson Crawford is in Arabia on an important mission. A seasoned soldier sent to ensure a victory that will secure British interests in the Suez Canal, Crawford was prepared for resistance from the prince; he was prepared for the crude weapons, the hellish sun, and the never-ending sand. What he wasn’t prepared for was Harvard bred archeologist turned spy Lillian Barton Drake.

Weeks after Lilly’s arrival in the desert she found herself in the center of a bloody massacre. Rescued by the prince she travels as part of his entourage, doing her utmost to gain his trust while avoiding becoming a part of his harem. Then into the camp rides an exhausted Jackson.

In a twist of fate Jack fights for Lilly’s honor risking life and limb to claim her as his own. Casting aside common sense the couple begin a passionate affair that sets the desert on fire and is guaranteed to melt your heart. Will their love be strong enough to survive the ravages of war, the duty they’ve sworn to their country, and the secrets of Jackson’s past?


WIN - Join the party and leave Samantha a question or comment today over here on our Cyber Launch Party and your name goes in the hat to win a free download of the her new book UNDER FIRE! Good luck! The winner will be announced right here, tomorrow - so be sure to check back!

Set Phasers To Sizzle...in this sexy new sci fi romance from Karen Kelley.

A half-human, half-Nerakian who needs a one-on-one crash course in how best to channel her powers. And while Roan's usually a master at separating business from pleasure, one glance into Lyraka's green eyes is enough to spark scorching fantasies of seriously close encounters with the tall, tanned temptress...

Lyraka's trying not to mind the way Mister Macho Special Agent keeps barking orders, but it's impossible to ignore Roan's rough-and-ready appeal. The sensitive ponytail guys Lyraka grew up with didn't have a clue how to handle her outsized sex drive, but Roan looks like he'd be up to the task in every way.

Celebrating the Release of Karen Kelley's DATING OUTSIDE YOUR DNA

Karen Kelley became very adept at how things worked in the publishing world. You write a book, you mail it off, you get rejected, you write another book. She did this for six years until one day she talked her husband into mailing her manuscript for her. She couldn't take one more look of pity from the postal workers. Being the loving husband that he is, he mailed Bachelor Party to Hilary Sares at Kensington to be considered for the Precious Gem line on a Tuesday. On Friday of that same week, Hilary called to offer a contract.

Currently Karen writes for the Brava Imprint with Kensington Publishing and has the fabulous Kate Duffy for an editor. Karen writes full-time, and collects junk which she fondly calls antiques. Her husband can still be talked into mailing her manuscripts and also helping with her publicity. She has two grown children, one son-in-law and three grandchildren and a very spoiled Pekinese. She loves sitting on the patio on a warm spring day and procrastinating about her approaching deadline(s).

Author Desiree Holt has a busy week on her hands...two new releases from two different publishers. If there's better reason for a party, I can't think of what it is!

Now tucked away in the Texas Hill Country she shares her fantasies with her readers. In her satin robe, with her scented candle burning and a chilled glass of wine at hand, she lets her mind run wild — and hopes you’ll take the journey with her.

Lexxie Couper's Cyber Launch Party Winner

Thanks to all who celebrated with Lexxie Couper on her very special day! The winner of the download of Lexxie's new release and a choice of any other Lexxie Couper ebook is Melanie. Melanie, please send your email address to AuthorIsland at yahoo.com so Lexxie can get you out your two free books!


She has the power to bring new life…or utterly destroy it.

Torin Kerridon, the last warrior from an ancient order, is drawn to an abandoned, dying Earth, where he finds a forgotten young woman. A woman forged by the Immortals to wield the ultimate weapon—the Sun Sword. A woman capable of commanding the power of the suns. A woman with no past and no memory, the body of an angel and the spirit of a demon. He will train her. Prepare her.

Hunted all her life, Kala Rei has endured more than one woman should. Sheer grit, and a dangerous skill with a lead pipe, are the key to her survival. But nothing threatens her sense of safety more than dominance-oozing Torin. He wants her, but not for what’s between her legs. For what he believes her to be—some ludicrous savior from some absurd prophecy. No matter…his offer to take her away from Earth is too good to refuse.

But when a savage desire begins to burn between them, both Torin and Kala are in danger—and so are the worlds of man.

Warning: This book contains an ancient prophecy that can’t be denied, a brooding hero tormented by desire, a stubborn woman who hungers for his touch, a villain so vile you’ll want to kill him yourself and sex so hot it’ll melt the suns of the known universes…and then some.

Celebrating The Release of Lexxie Couper's THE SUN SWORD

Today we're celebrating Lexxie Couper's new romantic sci fi adventure, THE SUN SWORD!

Lexxie's not a deviant. She just has a deviant's imagination and a desire to entertain readers with her words. Add the two together and you get darkly erotic romances with a twist of horror, sci-fi and the paranormal.

When she's not submerged in the worlds she creates, Lexxie's life revolves around her family, a husband who thinks she's insane, a pony-sized mutt who thinks he's a lapdog, two yabbies hell-bent on destroying their tank and her daughters, who both utterly captured her heart and changed her life forever.

Contact Lexxie at http://us.mc536.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=lexxie@lexxiecouper.com, follow her on Twitter http://twitter.com/lexxie_couper or visit her at http://www.lexxiecouper.com/ where she occasionally makes a fool of herself on her blog.

Ben Larken's Cyber Launch Party Winners

What a great party! Thanks to all who celebrated Ben's new release with him!

Here are the winners: Misty/Mitz wins an autographed copy of THE HOLLOWS, Booklover0226 wins an autogrpahed copy of PIT STOP, Sharon wins a free download from LL Publications, and S7Anna wins a PIT STOP T-shirt! Please contact Jim at LL Publications to claim your prizes!



THE HOLLOWS By Ben Larken


1949
A young girl is traumatized when she witnesses a grisly murder in the forest behind her home.

1999
A loving wife disappears in the middle of the night, leaving no trace of her whereabouts.

2009
Former detective David Alders rents an apartment at a typical complex; a quiet unassuming place nestled in the outskirts of Fort Worth called The Hollows.

David is at a dead end after ten maddening years searching for his vanished wife. With mounting bills and a daughter on the verge of college, he makes the only logical choice: sell the family home, get back to work, and take a cheap apartment. His daughter, Melanie, is secretly thrilled about the change hoping it means a fresh start for their withering family.

But The Hollows has other plans…

As a new community welcomes the Alders into its midst, elusive figures watch from the periphery, waiting for their moment. On the first night, a grotesque, burnt man seizes Melanie in her bed, spewing insane ramblings before disappearing into the darkness. She struggles to convince her father what happened was real, but David has his own problems.

Like the fact that he has just woke up in the wrong day.

Welcome to a tour through the dark underbelly of the last half-century where invisible hands take you by force to the demons of your past. Where you can find terror, time travel, and murder—all for one low monthly rent. Welcome to…

THE HOLLOWS.
Pray that the lease agreement expires before you do.

Celebrating the Release of Adelle Laudan's TRIAD OF HOPE

Triad of Hope



Contemporary, Inspirational, Interracial/Multicultural

It’s time to celebrate the release of Triad of Hope!! And as the author, Adelle Laudan, I’m thrilled to have you here with me today.

Be sure to find out how to win some cool prizes at the end of this post. I will also be picking a few random winners throughout the day from those who participate.

I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Adelle Laudan and I live in Southern Ontario with two of my four children still under my wing. Life as a single mom of two teenage girls is...interesting, to say the least! Family, Writing, and Motorcycles are my passion.

Triad of Hope is extra special to me because it includes the re-release of my beloved, Juliana.

It is three stories of three women and their journeys of self-discovery and healing. It is my hope to inspire women who are struggling with any of the trials Juliana, Rosa and Shani face, and instil hope for a better tomorrow.

Juliana

Juliana is the story of one woman’s healing journey after an abusive marriage.

Short excerpt

Juliana sank to the floor. An overwhelming sense of surrealism washed over her. The officer on the other end of the phone continued to speak as she scanned the apartment—her prison since the day she married Gary.

“If it’s any consolation, Mrs. Anderson, he didn’t suffer. We calculated his car slammed into the retaining wall at one hundred and twenty kilometres an hour, exploding on impact….”

Consolation? She nodded her understanding as if the officer saw her actions. What kind of heartless woman am I to wish he‟d suffered just a little? Her gaze settled on the front door.

“Mrs. Anderson? Is there anyone you can call to come over? I don’t think you should be alone….”

The officer kept talking as the receiver slipped from her hand. A mixed up jumble of undecipherable words continued. She inched her way up the wall and walked over to the door, unchained it, and opened it wide. With a big intake of breath, she straightened her shoulders and lifted her head before venturing out into the hallway. Juliana stood there, frozen.

What if this is some kind of cruel joke? What if he stepped out of the elevator right now?

Her heartbeat raced at the prospect, and she hurried back into the confines of the only world she’d known for over seven years. Trembling hands relocked the door.

Rosa

Rosa is the story of a deaf woman and the challenges she faces, including being able to take a chance on love.

Short Excerpt

Annie waited with hands clasped tightly on her lap while the doctor opened the sealed envelope.

My dearest, sweetest friend, Annie,

I know we haven’t known each other for long, but it seems you’ve been a part of my life forever. If you are reading this, it means I am no longer here, and my child has no mother. I am asking that you take my child and raise her to be just like you. I will rest easy in knowing she is taken care of by such a warm, caring person such as you. I know this is a lot to ask of you, but I have seen your heart, and you have much love to give.

Please tell my child I left this world loving her more than life itself,

Forever,

Lily

Annie looked across the desk at the man who read her future. She stood without speaking and left the office, heading straight for the nursery. Standing at the window, she looked upon a sea of babies. Her gaze fell upon the one she’d already fallen in love with. With one hand on the glass, she cleared her throat and whispered hoarsely, “Rosa.”

Shani

Shani is the story of a woman who discovers the truth behind her adoption, and dark secrets from her birth place, Africa, surface. It is the story of love and trust, of forgiveness, and rising above adversity to find hope.


Short Excerpt

An almost palpable sense of foreboding filled the attic. Shani didn’t think it would be this hard. Two years had passed since her mother’s death. Why were her thoughts and actions riddled with fear since she entered the house she’d grown up in?

It wasn’t like she’d buried deep dark secrets within these walls. All of her childhood memories were good. So why did she have this intense urge to run—to hop on her bike and not look back? She drew a ragged breath and lifted the lid to her mother’s wooden chest; the rusted hinges creaked in protest. A cloud of dust blew up in her face as the lid fell back, sending her into a coughing frenzy.

Shani sat back on her heels and wiped her eyes with her sleeve. Her brow furrowed upon seeing the neatly folded piles of baby clothes. Her parents had adopted her when she was almost two years old. These clothes were for a small baby. Carefully, she unfolded a hand-knitted sweater of pink and held it up to the light streaming in through a section of window she’d wiped clean. Did my birth parents give these to my mother? Did I wear this as a baby?

Curiosity prompted her to look under the clothes. Her hand touched paper, and she moved the baby clothes to one side. A stack of letters tied with a ribbon sat at the bottom of the chest. Her pulse raced as she lifted the stack and set them on her knees. The top letter was addressed to her mother, Becca St. John—her mother’s maiden name. She squinted to read the faded writing in the top corner of the envelope.

Kenya. The letter was from her missionary grandparents whom she’d never met, now too old to travel. She would probably never meet them unless she went to Africa. She’d often thought of going—if for no other reason than to find her birth parents.

Shani took an old shirt and wiped clean another pane of the window. Dust particles danced in the sunlight that lit up the dingy attic. She pulled an old sheet off of a chair and fanned the dust from her face before sitting down, letters in hand.

Carolina Valdez's Cyber Launch Party Winner


Thanks to all who stopped by to celebrate Carolina's new release with her! The winner of Carolina's ebook HANGIN' WITH MY WINDOW MAN was Christiane France! Congrats and thanks to all for stopping by!


Their relationship begins with two serious problems...

Kevin Connolly, star of The Detective and named TV’s “Sexiest Man of the Year,” works in Hollywood with frequent filming trips to various locations. Nate Marquette, Kevin’s new love, works part of the year as a fireman in a mountain range not far from Los Angeles, but most of the year he operates his business as a helicopter logger in the Pacific Northwest and Canada. Complicating the logistics of getting together when they’re miles apart is the fact that it’s vital both men keep their sexual preferences secret. Exposure as a gay man might certainly ruin Kevin’s career, but it could also mean death for Nate.

Yet in the end, it’s not these challenges that threaten to tear them apart, but deeper issues of trust and betrayal...

Celebrating the Release of Carolina Valdez's SOMEBODY TO LOVE

Carolina Valdez warns not to be fooled by the photo. "Even if you walk most of the race, you want to be sure to break into a run for the camera." Although most of her running days have morphed into walking days, she's completed over a hundred distance races - six of them marathons. Her short story about a murder on the streets she's actually competed on, in the Los Angeles Marathon, appears in a Sisters in Crime/Los Angeles anthology.

After a varied career as a registered nurse while winning awards and making sales writing freelance, she decided to retire to finish her first novel. Now she writes about searing passions and the sweetly explosive ecstasies of love.

INTO THE WILD

They’ve bonded as friends, working side by side over the last six months — jaguar shifter, human, and calico cat. Now a freak lab accident bonds Cristían, Jeremy, and Lupe as lovers. New cat-shifter Lupe knows wishes can come true. Hers made her human and gave her the men she loves. She will defeat anyone who dares threaten her new status and her men.

Jaguar-shifter Jeremy thrills to yet fears his new role, but his relationship with Lupe and Cristían is more than he ever dreamed he could have. But the people trying to kill them, and the mysteries of why, taint it all. Much is unknown, but one thing is not…no one will separate them. No one.

As for Cristían… He’s been blessed with love where he never expected to find it. Now a force from beyond tells him he created a monster only he can destroy. How can he do so knowing it could cost him the two people he loves the most? The bonds of love and loyalty will lead them to the edge of fear and out into the wild.

SECRETS WE KEEP


Secrets we keep from our spouse, our lover, each other...ourselves. Secrets buried inside, some to fester, some to bloom. Secrets on a collision course that can't be avoided and must breathe the light of day...

Dylan Mitchell is dedicated to two things—his wife and his job. He's the agent who does whatever it takes to get his man, even if that means literally getting his man. It's part of the job, his duty. Besides, Dylan gets to hook-up with his hot-as-hell wife, Susan, once a month for a night of unfettered sex.
It's all good. Right?

Ah...but those secrets.

It's not just a job anymore. Emotions are involved—his, Susan's, and Cabot Logan's, the man Dylan is supposed to put behind bars. His two worlds aren't about to overlap, they're going to collide. Real world and undercover. Secrets revealed. Secrets Dylan's kept from himself.

But Susan has a secret of her own. So does Cabot. Those secrets and that of others are on a collision course of their own. And the aftermath will change everything...forever...

INTO THE WILD

They’ve bonded as friends, working side by side over the last six months — jaguar shifter, human, and calico cat. Now a freak lab accident bonds Cristían, Jeremy, and Lupe as lovers. New cat-shifter Lupe knows wishes can come true. Hers made her human and gave her the men she loves. She will defeat anyone who dares threaten her new status and her men.

Jaguar-shifter Jeremy thrills to yet fears his new role, but his relationship with Lupe and Cristían is more than he ever dreamed he could have. But the people trying to kill them, and the mysteries of why, taint it all. Much is unknown, but one thing is not…no one will separate them. No one.

As for Cristían… He’s been blessed with love where he never expected to find it. Now a force from beyond tells him he created a monster only he can destroy. How can he do so knowing it could cost him the two people he loves the most? The bonds of love and loyalty will lead them to the edge of fear and out into the wild.

SECRETS WE KEEP


Secrets we keep from our spouse, our lover, each other...ourselves. Secrets buried inside, some to fester, some to bloom. Secrets on a collision course that can't be avoided and must breathe the light of day...

Dylan Mitchell is dedicated to two things—his wife and his job. He's the agent who does whatever it takes to get his man, even if that means literally getting his man. It's part of the job, his duty. Besides, Dylan gets to hook-up with his hot-as-hell wife, Susan, once a month for a night of unfettered sex.
It's all good. Right?

Ah...but those secrets.

It's not just a job anymore. Emotions are involved—his, Susan's, and Cabot Logan's, the man Dylan is supposed to put behind bars. His two worlds aren't about to overlap, they're going to collide. Real world and undercover. Secrets revealed. Secrets Dylan's kept from himself.

But Susan has a secret of her own. So does Cabot. Those secrets and that of others are on a collision course of their own. And the aftermath will change everything...forever...

Novelist Maggie Tortelli considers dropping her pen name and persona, Magda Torrene, thanks to a psychotic fan who begins stalking her, expecting her to be Stacy Peach, the slinky PI she'd created. Maggie knows it's time to get out of the writing business and return full time to investigative work, but her PI boss, Byron Stone, has numerous enemies of his own, and one of them also tries to frame Maggie for murder.

To keep Maggie safe, Byron recruits his handsome PI buddy, Rick Sloane, to become her bodyguard. Rick, however, has reservations about his assignment, until he discovers that the woman behind the character of Stacy Peach really knows her police procedural, has a calm head in a crisis, and is someone he truly wants to get to know better.

When Rick and Maggie find themselves stranded on a remote Lake Erie island during a winter storm, they mistakenly believe they can relax in their hidden hideaway. Yet once the weather breaks, it soon becomes a struggle for survival and a question of who will get to Rick and Maggie first - the psycho, the murderer, or Maggie's mysterious new relatives who conveniently come running to the rescue...

DYAD QUEST by Ann Hinnenkamp


This is the sequel to Dyad Dreams.

Aiden Rawlings has had centuries to perfect the art of staying unconnected. For over four hundred years he’s served as human partner to one of the immortal Dyads, protecting mankind from their worst enemy—themselves. Aiden’s carefully built emotional walls start to crumble when he finds Jude Kapfer dying from gunshot wounds. He asks the Dyads to heal her. They agree on one condition—Aiden must protect Jude and discover who is behind the attempt on her life. He’s only got one problem with that—how can he protect her if he can’t take his eyes off her?

Jude is having a bad week. First, a masked madman shoots her, then two insanely sexy men show up, heal her using some unseen power, and she discovers humans are not alone on Earth. To save her life, she must team up with Aiden and allow herself to be drawn deeper into the mysterious, hidden world of the Dyads. Maybe she should take her chances with the masked gunman—at least he’s human.

Celebrating the Release of Ann Hinnenkamp's DYAD QUEST and DYAD DREAMS

Today we have two reasons to celebrate!! Ann Hinnenkamp's DYAD QUEST, the second book in her paranormal romance series, is being released today in ebook by Cerridwen Press and the first book in her Dyad Series DYAD DREAMS was just recently released in Print!


Born in a decade that starts with an F, Ann now finds herself in an age decade beginning with the same dreaded letter. Her plan had always been to accept aging with the same effortless grace as any movie star with the last name of Hepburn, but now that her forehead is sliding down around her nose, and her neck attracts every rooster in the yard, she’s given up on grace and put her faith in a good moisturizer and turtle neck sweaters.

Ann had a B.A. in theatre and went to graduate school at the U. of M. in the M.F.A. acting program. She freelances as an actor and director in the twin cities area and has played everything from Eleanor of Aquitaine, to the third extra on the right with the gap in her front teeth.

Taking the advice from her father to heart, she never quit her day job. She works at a messenger service where the motto is: If you got it, a courier brought it. Her years in the business world have taught her a few valuable lessons: When designing a floor plan, never put your own office across from the bathrooms. All it has to do is snow to turn a great day to shit. It’s impossible to pick up a monkey at the airport, look him in the eye, and then deliver him to a testing lab. And transporting caskets, even when they’re empty, is just plain scary.
