Today we have author Lindsay McKenna visiting. Welcome!

What would you like to tell readers about yourself?

* New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lindsay McKenna is the pseudonym of award-winning author Eileen Nauman. With more than 135 titles to her credit and approximately 23 million books sold in 33 countries worldwide, Lindsay is one of the most distinguished authors in the women’s fiction genre. She is the recipient of many awards, including six RT Book Reviews awards (including best military romance author) and an RT Book Reviews Career Achievement Award. In 1999, foreseeing the emergence of ebooks, she became the first bestselling women’s fiction author to exclusively release a new title digitally. In recognition of her status as one of the originators of the military adventure/romance genre, Lindsay is affectionately known as “The Top Gun of Women’s Military Fiction.” Lindsay comes by her military knowledge and interest honestly—by continuing a family tradition of serving in the U.S. Navy. Her father, who served on a destroyer in the Pacific theater during World War II, instilled a strong sense of patriotism and duty in his daughter.

* From the moment Roan Taggart picked up the pretty redhead at the Jackson Hole airport, his training and experience told him she was spooked. She’s left New York City to visit the Wind River Ranch, where Roan is a wrangler, and just as he can pick up a horse’s mood, he can feel the tension coming off her body. And that vulnerability is triggering all his protective instincts . . .
* Shiloh Gallagher likes the gray-eyed cowboy’s dry humor—and the Special Forces background that lends him a stoic, powerful presence. But she’s been scarred by trauma and her mother’s murder . . . and knows a strong man can be dangerous. She came to wide-open Wyoming to flee a threat that’s left her unable to write her novels. Now, as she rides horses with Roan and helps him build an isolated cabin, she’s slowly letting down her guard. But danger has followed her west, and they won’t have a future together unless they defeat a killer from her past . . .

~ Excerpt ~

* “Doesn’t it bother you that I’m leaving in a month? It bothers the hell out of me.”
* “Sure it does, but I don’t see it as the end of anything. It’s just distance,” he said. “There are airplanes. You could come out here for a visit.”
* “Or you could fly in and visit me?” She saw him grimace, understanding he didn’t like big cities.
* “I would,” he said, holding her gaze.
* She felt his words in her heart, which was opening widely to him. “I believe you. I can’t promise you where this will go, Roan.”
* “I’m not asking that of you. All I need to know is that you’re not going to let fear stop you from exploring me, finding out who I am. Discovering what we may have together.”
* Giving him a wry look, Shiloh said, “I think you’re forcing me to look at myself, what I want, who I am.”
* “Good relationships always do that for both people, Darlin’. It’s just a natural progression between them. It can bring out self-awareness. It’s not easy. But it’s rewarding. None of us were born to live alone or be alone. It’s natural to evolve into relationships, whether it’s in business, friendship, or on a more intimate and personal level.”
* Shiloh stood up. “Then,” she said in a low voice, holding his eyes, “I want to know you, Roan. All of you.”
* He stood and held her softened gaze. Slipping his hand into hers, he dug into her wide green eyes. “And I’ve been wanting to know you ever since I laid eyes on you for the first time at the airport, Shiloh.”

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!

What would you like to tell readers about yourself?

* 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.
* When Rosemary’s not falling in love with the rebels fighting their way onto the page, she heads the Oxford writing group Dreaming Spires.

* 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.’
