Today we have author Carmen DeSousa visiting. Welcome!

What would you like to tell readers about yourself?

* Carmen DeSousa writes stories brimming with romance, suspense, a hint of humor sometimes and, of course, a few Kleenex moments. After all, what would a great story be without an emotional event setting the stage? All of her novels are sensual, but not erotic, gripping but not graphic and will make you cry, laugh, love, and hope.
* Although her Creatus series clearly include supernatural beings, the paranormal dances on the edge of make believe. Carmen hopes that as you read, you’ll wonder, “Hmmm…what if?”

* For thousands of years, the creatus have managed to conceal themselves from the humans who hunted them almost to annihilation. Inadvertently, the actions of one creatus will jeopardize the anonymity they’ve strived to keep.
* From the moment Derrick Ashton saw her, he knew she was different, but he didn’t think his entire life—and more importantly, his family’s lives—would forever change because of his wants and desires.
* Now, thrust into a role he never wanted, protector and guardian to a girl he can never have, he will risk everything to save her from humans—and now, his family. The one thing he can’t protect her from, however, is herself.
* Derrick must come out of the shadows to save the woman he has no right to love, even if it threatens his entire race.
* The Creatus Series is not your typical urban fantasy…it’s romantic and suspense-filled, and at times, heartrending magical realism based on the legends you’ve heard throughout history. Prepare to believe the unbelievable.

Today we have author Rosemary A. Johns visiting. Welcome!

* Rosemary A Johns wrote her first fantasy novel at the age of ten, when she discovered the weird worlds inside her head were more exciting than double swimming. Since then she’s studied history at Oxford University, run a theatre company (her critically acclaimed plays have been described as “uncomfortable, unsettling and uneasily true to life”), and worked with disability charities.

* WELCOME TO THE BLOOD CLUB
* Light is a Rocker Blood Lifer with a talent for remembering things. He’s meant to be the predator. It’s been that way since Victorian times. But not now. Not since someone hunted him. Enslaved him. Ripped out his fangs. Who are these ruthless humans? Who’s their violent leader? And who betrayed the secret of the Blood Lifer world?
* WHERE THE PREDATORS
* London, Primrose Hill. Grayse is the commanding but alluring slaver’s daughter. The enemy. She buys Light, like he’s a pair of designer shoes. So why does Light feel so drawn to her? Especially when his family is still in chains. Will he risk everything – even his new love – to save them?
* BECOME THE PREY
* Does a chilling conspiracy lie behind it all? A stunning revelation leads Light to an inconceivable truth. If he can face his worst terrors, he can save his family and his whole species from slavery.
* Maybe he can even save himself.
* The third book in the series, BLOOD RENEGADES, will be out Spring 2017

~ Excerpt ~

* ‘London’s not yours.’
* I stiffened. ‘The Lost have walked these streets as long as you humans,’ I whispered, low and intense, ‘which makes them ours, as much as yours.’
* I might as well have clouted you. You drew back, with a shiver. ‘You hunt here – parasitically. But England? The world? It belongs to us. You’re just…’
* ‘Parasites?’ I offered. You didn’t even have the decency to look away.
* ‘These are my streets,’ you tapped the sticky table for emphasis, in a boozer, street, postcode you’d never have ventured into, if it hadn’t been for me.
* I took a drag of my e-cig. ‘Over hundred and fifty years says different, sweetheart.’
* You wore that narked expression, which I’d hoped we’d left behind for the night. ‘My home. Not yours.’
* ‘Any reason it can’t be both?’
* ‘On account of you’re…’ You stopped yourself, pushing your Guinness away with a jerky shove. Your shoulders slumped. You finished softly, ‘…not human.’
* ‘Right. Because I’d missed that.’ I took a mouthful of nuts, munching thoughtfully. You’d withdrawn hermit-crab like, your hair falling in two curtains over your mug. ‘There were humans once, who thought like you, the last time a Blood Lifer had the courage to reveal himself to a First Lifer. It was one of my ancestors. A man of reason, in an age of superstition. He reckoned our two species could live out in the open – side by side – so I was told. These First Lifers? They thought he was the devil.’ You’d raised your nut. I could see your peepers – dark grey now – through the veil of your hair.
* ‘What..?’
* ‘They burnt him.’

Today we have author Lisa B Kamps visiting. Welcome!

What would you like to tell readers about yourself?

* Lisa B. Kamps is the author of the best-selling series The Baltimore Banners, featuring “hard-hitting, heart-melting hockey players” (USA Today), on and off the ice. Her newest series, Firehouse Fourteen, features hot and heroic firefighters.
* In a previous life, she worked as a firefighter with the Baltimore County Fire Department, then a very brief (and not very successful) stint at bartending in east Baltimore, and finally as the Director of Retail Operations for a busy Civil War non-profit.
* Lisa currently lives in Maryland with her husband and two sons (who are mostly sorta-kinda out of the house), one very spoiled Border Collie, two cats with major attitude, several head of cattle, and entirely too many chickens to count. When she’s not busy writing or chasing animals, she’s cheering loudly for her favorite hockey team, the Washington Capitals–or going through withdrawal and waiting for October to roll back around!

* When passion proves dangerous…
* Curator Shelby Martin’s lie is as dry, dull, and dusty as the artifacts with which she works. But when she accepts an adventurous dare posed by her friends, Shelby finds more than one night of unforgettable passion.
* No-nonsense Vice cop Josh Nichols has seen his fair share of the seedier side of Baltimore. Drawn to Shelby immediately, Josh can’t resist the attraction he feels for the quirky, yet sexy, woman coming on to him in the bar. And when she bails without leaving her number after a night of hot sex, he’s reeling with desire to see her again.
* But suddenly, when Shelby and Josh are thrown together to solve a crime at Shelby’s museum, neither can trust the other. Josh sees Shelby in a different light. The carefree and courageous sex goddess from their one night together is nothing like the reserved introvert standing before him. Determined to understand the intriguing woman, he vows to solve the mystery behind the museum and the secrecy behind the woman. As suspicion riddles them with doubt and misconceptions, they struggle to find common ground. After all, they can’t possibly build a future on one night of passion—a passion that just might tear them apart.
