I'm so thrilled to share the amazing cover of my good friend, author Sharon Buchbinder's upcoming release SOME OTHER CHILD

 A stolen baby, a missing aunt, decades of secrets to unravel, and love lost and found. 

Between taking on the responsibility for the care of her critically injured mother as well as straightening out her muddled finances, public health researcher Sarah Wright hasn't a minute to herself, much less time to repair a fractured romance. After a much loved aunt goes missing, Sarah is convinced it's a kidnapping but the police refuse to investigate. Former fiance Dan flies to Sarah's side to help—and it looks like things might come back together for the two of them—until Sarah is arrested for her aunt's murder. As evidence stacks up against her, Sarah must find the real culprits as well as unravel decades old family secrets along the way.

SOME OTHER CHILD...available soon from the Wild Rose Press!

Why I’m a Teacher Groupie !

1/22/2014

I'm so happy to welcome my  fabulous author friend and chapter-mate Nancy C. Weeks  to share some insight into why she chose the teaching occupation for the heroine in her latest release:
 IN THE SHADOW OF EVIL


Why I’m a Teacher Groupie 
Nancy C. Weeks
Author of In the Shadow of Greed and In the Shadow of Evil

Someone recently asked me why I chose my heroine in my new release, In the Shadow of Evil, to be an elementary school teacher. That question threw me for a moment because Jennie McKenzie, in my mind, was always a teacher. I couldn’t see her as anything else. Maybe that stems from the fact that I consider myself a teacher groupie. What is a teacher groupie? It is a parent that just loves being around her children’s teachers.

The day my oldest child stepped into a classroom for the first time will always be with me. Here was this bright, enthusiastic, young boy who was so excited about being old enough to go to school. As I watched him get on his first school bus, my eyes filled with tears not only because I knew that I was going to miss the little guy every minute, but he was entering the
first environment since he was born that I couldn’t control. As a worrier of worriers, my mind for the next several hours was consumed with what  if. What if he needed me? What if someone tried to hurt him? What if he didn’t like his new kindergarten teacher?  

I drove myself crazy with what if questions. He was entering into the big bad world when he stepped onto that school bus. How was I going to protect him from what I knew was out there?

Well, he came home that day so excited and all my needless worrying was for nothing. He loved his kindergarten teacher. “Mom, you got to meet her. She is so cool.” Well, I did meet Ms. Markey and she was very cool. I loved her on sight and volunteered right away to be her room mother.

That was the beginning of my partnership with my children’s teachers that lasted the next sixteen years. I became a teacher
groupie because those amazing men and women played such an important role in my children’s future. They were helping shape their lives, secure their future, and influence who my children were going to become. How could I not get to know them
and help them out in any way I could?  

Teachers have not only had a profound effect on my children’s lives, but on society in general. On that day so many years ago, I wanted my child safe and secure. Placing him on that yellow school bus, developing a wonderful, working relationship with his teachers, making the idea of learning a valuable aspect of my child’s daily world was what would lead to him to live a
happy, safe, and secure life.

Sadly, most parents never take the time to get to know their children’s teachers. They are missing out on not only a great partnership, but a great friendship. This is a crazy busy world we live in but making time for your children’s teachers is crucial to your child’s success in school. 

In the Shadow of Evil
was my first book and Jennie McKenzie was my first heroine. I modeled her character after the amazing teachers I have worked with over the years
 
Picture
In the Shadow of Evil:

Elías Mendoza’s personal vendetta against the McKenzie family rests on Jennie’s shoulders. As she cradles the bullet ridden body of her ten-year old student, she knows Mendoza is responsible. Quinton’s death is a message. Jennie’s life belongs to only Mendoza. But she has her own message. No one else dies. Her life means nothing as long as Mendoza is free.

Jared McNeil has spent ten years with Maryland’s Special Crime Unit and very little rattles him. When the haunted teenager he once tried to protect walks into his precinct now a beautiful woman, he wants nothing more than to wrap her in his arms and never let her go. But he soon realizes she is there only to settle her debts before she goes after his nemesis, Mendoza. Jared’s vow to stay away from Jennie until the task force destroys Mendoza now means nothing.

There are forces at play greater than the evil shadowing Jared and Jennie, but time is running out. United, they can do anything. Alone, they will fail.

It's coming, it's coming!  I'm so happy to share Max Logan's next adventure in LIFE AFTER DEATH!
WHAT? You say you missed the beginning of Max's story in DEATH BENEFITS? Well, how in the heck did that happen? No worries! Check it out the links at the bottom of the page :)

LIFE AFTER DEATH
After artfully arbitrating her return from the dead, Max Logan considers her experience with the afterlife a thing of the past. But Max’s success as a temporary Superintendent of Spiritual Impediment was no accident as she discovers when the permanent SSI shows up in the middle of the night to reveal that Max has a genetic predisposition to a supernatural calling. When Max’s ex-husband and current boyfriend, Roger-the-Proctologist is lost in a plane crash due to an inept Reaper gone rogue, Max has no choice but to venture back into the sweet hereafter in an attempt to rescue him. Throw in a freak blizzard, a hot Grim Reaper, and the last person on Earth Max would choose to save, and Max will be lucky to escape before her time runs out and she becomes a permanent resident of the Between.


Genre: Paranormal/Fantasy
Publisher: Whiskey Creek Press
Release Date: January 1, 2014

Excerpt:
     The annoying luminosity I’d mistaken for the early afternoon sunlight was, in fact, coming from Alicia who, when the mood struck her, could glow like a radioactive Christmas tree. On steroids. I hadn’t seen or heard from her since that happy day months ago when I’d been relieved of my duties as SSI. It was a temporary position I’d been obligated to assume to regain my status among the living after my untimely Death in Error (D.I.E.) caused by an overeager Grim Reaper in Training (G.R.I.T). Turns out the bureaucrats in the afterlife are quite enamored with acronyms. Who knew? Anyway, I hadn’t seen Alicia in all this time, and frankly, I hadn’t exactly been complaining. Not that I had anything against Alicia personally, it was only that I preferred to relegate that period of my life—or death, depending on how I chose to look at it on any given day—to the been-there-done-that file. I mean, c’mon, wouldn’t you? I’d never shared my life after death after life experience with anyone; not even Roger. First of all, even I wasn’t completely convinced the entire episode was real after the fact. In the first place, my black Italian marble shower with the Chastings Corque Corian Square Ceiling Mount Showerhead and I came together
quite dramatically in a completely involuntary manner that cracked my skull hard enough to scramble my brain into a convincing three- dimensional hallucination that could be misinterpreted as a near death experience. Secondly, who in their right mind would believe me? Sure, I’d emerged from the experience a kinder and gentler Max Logan, filled with insight and forgiveness, ready to own up to my own part in the misery that had become my everyday existence, but those who knew
me best were far more likely to attribute it to a temporary psychotic break than any supernatural intervention. 

“Alicia, I’m going back to sleep for at least the next five hours. I’m returning to the place where I’m always thin, never run out of money, and am sitting on a private beach with hot cabana boys who bring me exotic cocktails with little paper umbrellas. Do not attempt to wake me again or my Teddy Bear will attack,” I threatened in a sleep-thickened voice. 
 
“You don’t have a Teddy Bear,” my uninvited visitor pointed out reasonably. 
  
“Totally irrelevant, Glow Girl. Come back later.”

THE WITCH'S THIEF-FREE on KINDLE!

The Witch’s Thief  

FREE on Kindle December 17-21!

To save her sister’s life, Julia Grey seeks a spell hidden somewhere within Merriweather Manor. Her position as a lady's companion affords her the freedom to search the house. But time is running out. The necromancer she's bargained with is growing impatient. And an unexpected appearance of a man from her past
makes matters worse in an already complicated situation.

Basil Merriweather returns to England after ten years abroad to discover his childhood sweetheart living in his home. But, he's no longer the carefree man of his youth and she's hiding something--deadly secrets Basil vows to uncover even as he hides a dark secret of his own.

While neither Basil nor Julia will trust in the other, their hearts speak a truer language.  In a grand attempt to save Julia's sister and Basil's life, the two must finally confess sinister truths. Will their admissions help or hinder any future they may have together? Or will the necromancer destroy all in a vile attempt at revenge.


 

Excerpt:
 "What are you doing?" 

He ignored her frantic questioning. Instead, he blocked out the sound of her voice and raised his arms into the air at his sides, his fingers splayed out as he extended his senses to scan the area. His power eased out, like extensions of his fingertips, stretching into the corners of the room, seeking, searching for the source of the magic he sensed.
 
It was here...somewhere. 

He had sensed it earlier on his arrival, but being that his aunt and siblings practiced magic on a regular basis he'd never given it a second thought. 

This room, however, stank with it. He smelled the odor, something strangely like
sulfur... 

"A spell has been cast in this room," he muttered. A strange spell. Odd. A spell he'd never sensed before, something new. It felt off is some way he couldn't explain. Who would be working new magic of this kind in his home? And, in this room in particular. Aunt Petunia worked her spells in the privacy of her rooms upstairs, or sometimes in the gardens, but never in this room. And his siblings each, practiced in their own private settings, places where they could concentrate without the threat of being disturbed. A fairly difficult task with the number of people normally in residence at Merriweather Manor. 

He took a step closer to the center of the room where he sensed a surge of power. He shivered as coldness seeped into his skin. It wrapped around his arm, sinking into his flesh, right down to the bone. This was not right. 

The magic in his house was always full of warmth and gentleness. Goodness and love. This magic chilled him to the bone. His heart skipped a beat. There was fear, terror, pain. This spell was full of darkness.

Contemporary Romance with a Dash of Suspense – Untangle My Heart by Maria K. Alexander

12/15/2013

7 Comments

 
Picture
I'd like to welcome fellow The Wild Rose Press author Maria K. Alexander to the blog to talk about her new release Untangle My Heart. Welcome, Maria!

I want to thank Sharon for allowing me to visit and share a little about my contemporary romance, Untangle My Heart.

When I started writing, I hadn’t intended to write a story with a suspense secondary theme, but that’s just what happened as I developed the
plot for Untangle My Heart. Kate DiFrancesco’s life was turned upside down by a tragic event in her past. It’s years later and while she’s done her best to move on with her life, her past has come back to haunt her. Now she finds herself stalked by a psycho hell-bent on making her pay for causing the death of his brother. If that isn’t bad enough, she’s working alongside her summer-fling-turned-boss to renovate her family’s trattoria. Edward Weston’s distractingly good looks and British accent may have always gotten him the girl in the past—including her—but Kate’s determined to keep him at arm’s length. But when danger lurks, will she be able to set aside her pride and trust him to help her as well as those she cares about most?

I hope you’ll enjoy a blurb and excerpt that shows the hot chemistry between these two opposites attract characters.

Blurb

When her marriage ended in tragedy, Kate DiFrancesco rebuilt her life, but has never gotten over the pain of what she lost. Seeking the help of an ex-lover ignites feelings she’s promised never to have again. She’ll need to untangle herself from dangers in her past in order to break the hard shell around her heart.

Edward Weston has a lot to prove, both to his stuffy upper-crust British family, and to himself. Working alongside Kate, a woman he had a casual relationship with, stirs unexpected feelings. Helping her family makes him realize what he's missing. For the first time, he wants more than a one-night stand.

When Kate is threatened, Edward must overcome feeling unworthy to protect the woman he loves and fight for the family he never thought he’d have.

 Excerpt

“You’re safe now. He’s gone.” Edward pulled her to him. “Who is he? He called you sis. I haven’t met him, but I know that’s not
Nick.”

She pulled back, feeling in control now. “That’s my former brother-in-law, Salvatore DiSilva, Mario’s brother. Apparently, he just got out of prison.”

 “What did he want with you? Why did he say you’d pay for what you did?”

 “Sal was in jail when Mario was killed. He hadn’t witnessed the slow demise of his brother and probably picked up whatever he knew of the case from the papers or his contacts on the outside, who I’m sure didn’t put the fault on Mario.”

 “So he blames you for his brother’s death?”

“It appears so. He was also looking for a booty call.” She shuddered at the thought of the man even touching her.

Edward paled, but behind it sparked the heat of anger, which he quickly replaced with concern. She placed a hand on his forearm. “It’s okay now. Sal’s gone and it’s over.”

“Are you mad? Did you see his face? It’s far from over.”

“I’ll talk to Nick. He’ll know what to do.”

“I won’t have this nutter threatening or hurting you.”

“I appreciate your concern, but I’m not your responsibility to protect.”

“Maybe not but you have it.”

“Even if I don’t want it?”

“Yes. Let’s go find Lucas and the others.”

Spotlight-DAUGHTERS OF THE NILE

12/3/2013

0 Comments

 
I am so very pleased to welcome friend and MRW chapter-mate, the immensely talented Stephanie Dray, to feature the  final installment of her historical fantasy trilogy featuring the daughter of Cleopatra, Cleopatra Selene. If you love historical fiction, no one does it quite like Stephanie Dray! Treat yourself to Daughters of the Nile as well the first two books in the trilogy...trust me, you'll be so very glad you did!

Daughters of the Nile slide

From critically acclaimed historical fantasy author, Stephanie Dray comes the long-awaited new tale based on the true story of Cleopatra's daughter.

After years of abuse as the emperor’s captive in Rome, Cleopatra Selene has found a safe harbor. No longer the pitiful orphaned daughter of the despised Egyptian Whore, the twenty year old is now the most powerful queen in the empire, ruling over the kingdom of Mauretania—an exotic land of enchanting possibility where she intends to revive her dynasty. With her husband, King Juba II and the magic of Isis that is her birthright, Selene brings prosperity and peace to a kingdom thirsty for both. But when Augustus Caesar jealously demands that Selene’s children be given over to him to be fostered in Rome, she’s drawn back into the web of imperial plots and intrigues that she vowed to leave behind. Determined and resourceful, Selene must shield her loved ones from the emperor’s wrath, all while vying with ruthless rivals like King Herod. Can she find a way to overcome the threat to her marriage, her kingdom, her family, and her faith? Or will she be the last of her line?

Read the Reviews

"A stirring story of a proud, beautiful, intelligent woman whom a 21st century reader can empathize with. Dray's crisp, lush prose brings Selene and her world to life." ~RT Book Reviews

"The boldest, and most brilliant story arc Dray has penned..." ~Modge Podge Reviews

"If you love historical fiction and magical realism, these books are for you." ~A Bookish Affair

Read an Excerpt

Below me, six black Egyptian cobras dance on their tails, swaying. I watch their scaled hoods spread wide like the uraeus on the crown of Egypt. Even from this height, I'm paralyzed by the sight of the asps, their forked tongues flickering out between deadly fangs. I don't notice that I'm gripping the balustrade until my knuckles have gone white, all my effort concentrated upon not swooning and falling to my death. And I would swoon if I were not so filled with rage. Someone has arranged for this. Someone who knows what haunts me. Someone who wants to send me a message and make this occasion a moment of dread. My husband, the king must know it, for he calls down, "That's enough. We've seen enough of the snake charmer!" There is commotion below, some upset at having displeased us. Then Chryssa hisses, "Who could think it a good idea to honor the daughter of Cleopatra by coaxing asps from baskets of figs?" The story the world tells of my mother's suicide is that she cheated the emperor of his conquest by plunging her hand into a basket where a venomous serpent lay in wait. A legend only, some say, for the serpent was never found. But I was there. I brought her that basket. She was the one bitten but the poison lingers in my blood to this day. I can still remember the scent of figs in my nostrils, lush and sweet. The dark god Anubis was embroidered into the woven reeds of the basket, the weight of death heavy in my arms. I can still see my mother reach her hand into that basket, surrendering her life so that her children might go on without her. And I have gone on without her. I have survived too much to be terrorized by the emperor's agents or whoever else is responsible for this. If it is a message, a warning from my enemies, I have already allowed them too much of a victory by showing any reaction at all. So I adopt as serene a mask as possible. My daughter blinks her big blue eyes, seeing past my facade. "Are you frightened, Mother? They cannot bite us from there. The snakes are very far away." I get my legs under me, bitterness on my tongue. "Oh, but they're never far enough away."

I'm so happy to welcome a fellow Fantasy, Futuristic, and Paranormal chapter mate, Victoria Pinder, and give you a sneak peek at her upcoming release!

The Zoastra Affair
by Victoria Pinder
Published by Soul Mate Publishing
Science Fiction Romance
Heat Level: Intimate 


Length: 85000 words
Available at:

Coming December 30th from Soul Mate Publishing.


 

Blurb:
A hundred years from now, Earth has trading partners with alien beings, mostly humanoid. However, going into space brought forth an unknown enemy who attacks Earth at will. The Zoastra is part of the Earthseekers, an organization originally designed to go into space. Its new mission is to find Earth’s enemies. Ariel is stuck on a Victorian planet and steals Grace’s body and life to get off the planet. Grace must get her body back before Ariel bonds with Grace’s husband, Peter. Then there is Cross, the man on a mission to find those who killed his family. Ariel is attracted to Cross, but she’s stolen someone’s life.

Short Excerpt:
 I’m going to have to steal someone else’s body to get out of here.
“Ariel, are you listening?”
Ariel Transcender stared dumbfounded at the mother superior of her prison, a/k/a Aulnale School for Orphans. “Yes, mistress.”
She had no idea what happened, though she pasted a fake simpering smile of appreciation on her face. Ms. Rochelle walked away.
A few minutes later, Ariel looked out the window again, tuning out Rochelle’s mind numbing lecture on what was proper behavior when near a man. The boarding home on this planet gave the stupidest lectures of the galaxy. Her lips curled into a sneer. Women were not excited to be bound to men. 
Could I do this to someone else? Do I have any other choice?
Lenchena, the teenage girl who’d stolen her adult body and taken off on Ariel’s ship, needed to be found. And Ariel refused to listen to the daily drivel about always listening to a man.

About the Author:


Victoria Pinder grew up in Irish Catholic Boston before moving to the Miami sun. She’s worked in engineering, after passing many tests proving how easy Math came to her. Then hating her life at the age of twenty four, she decided to go to law school. Four years later, after passing the bar and practicing very little, she realized that she hates the practice of law. She refused to one day turn 50 and realize she had nothing but her career and hours at a desk. After realizing she needed change, she became a high school teacher. Teaching is rewarding, but writing is a passion.
During all this time, she always wrote stories to entertain herself or calm down. Her parents are practical minded people demanding a job, and Victoria spent too many years living other people’s dreams, but when she sat down to see what skill she had that matched what she enjoyed doing, writing became so obvious. The middle school year book when someone wrote in it that one day she’d be a writer made sense when she turned thirty.
When she woke up to what she wanted, the dream of writing became
so obvious. She dreams of writing professionally, where her barista can make her coffee and a walk on the beach, can motivate her tales. Contemporary romances are just fun to write. She’s always thinking whose getting hurt and whose story is next on the list to fall in love. Victoria’s love of writing has kept her centered and focused through her many phases, and she’s motivated to write many stories.

Black Magic Rose by Jordan K. Rose
Picture

 

 
Is it possible to reduce the amount of workplace violence in an organization run by vampires and werewolves? Sofia Engle, the new Employee Relations Manager at Cader House Hospital is about to find out, and she may not like the answer, or
the series of firsts she experiences: first human employee at Cader House, first  day tardy, first kiss with a dead guy. Well, maybe kissing the dead guy wasn't  the worst of it after all.
 
For nearly 600 years Dragomir Petrescu has fought for The Alliance. As one of the most skilled warriors the Alliance has ever seen he's killed a lot of people and won many difficult battles. But his newest human adversary is turning out to be a 
worthier opponent than any he's met. Just the scent of her disarms him, never mind her endless policies and silly ideals about civility.
 
Can he possibly keep her safe from Alliance enemies, hospital employees and himself? The term Employee Relations is about to have a whole new meaning.

Jordan loves vampires. But if you know anything about Jordan, you already know that detail. What you didn't know is that it wasn't long ago she began writing about them.

 A few years back Jordan received a copy of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight from her husband as part of her anniversary gift. By the end of that week she'd read the entire series and moved onto Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. Eight weeks and eighteen vampire books later the idea for her first book, Perpetual Light came to her followed very quickly by Eva Prim.
