Vamp Writer said...

Vampires are usually seen as enemies of humans but must they be? First of the three book series title is: "Immortal Relations"
Blurb: When Gary Logan discovers an old black-and-white photograph of his father in Prague with a woman’s handwriting on the back, he flies there to investigate where his father worked while in Europe, only to meet and fall in love with a beautiful lady who he believes to be a vampire. In love with her, Gary is initiated into her coven of guardian vampires, beginning a journey of epic proportions.

Exciting, erotic, and full of heart-stopping action, this debut novel turns human vampire lore on its head, with a symbiotic relationship between the species that deepens emotional connections to astonishing effect. But a coven of evil vampires bent on destroying the guardian vampires and feeding on the humans at will have other plans. Gary’s full vampire son helps humans to almost wipe out the evil coven, beginning the ever-increasing relationship between vampires and humans. Probing the gray areas inherent in sexuality, family and legend, the tale examines the very nature of existence.
Target Audience: Readers who enjoy Paranormal Romance with a positive message but some erotic content and lots of action.

Mystery, suspense, thriller — with a little romance.

ASYLUM, a dark suspense saga

On an innocent day in 1899, twelve-year-old Maggie Delito accidentally discovers a scandal so shameful and shocking it will forever haunt her life. The next day she's locked in an asylum.

Secrets remain hidden for seventy-five years until Laura Delito inherits ancestral assets and her prestigious family's mysterious past comes knocking. After sacrificing an independent career at the brink of success, Laura assumes control of Delito's failing jewelry business while daring to expose its ghosts. A strange old woman. Cryptic messages. And a rare antique key that might unlock the truth, if only she could find it. As she pursues clues from Hartford and Providence to Italy and Morocco, she doesn't see a lethal danger looming in an office down the hall.

Strong female characters make this tense drama a women's and book club favorite with special appeal to interests in asylums, New England, history, vintage jewelry, genealogy — or an American industrialist family gone wrong.

The Trouble With Dying ***FREE TODAY ONLY***

When Faith Carson wakes up on a hospital ceiling looking down on her body in a coma, it’s a bad start to the week. A very bad start. She has no idea who she is or how she got there or why, and the biggest mystery of all is why she married the schmuck who wants her ventilator switched off.

As if that’s not enough Faith has a dead gran haunting her, a young daughter missing her, and one devilishly delicious man making her wish she could have a second chance at life. And maybe she can, if she finds a way back into her body and wakes up by Friday. But if she doesn’t, this will be her last bad week—ever.

Nate Sutherland decided long ago he’d settle for friendship if he couldn’t have Faith’s heart. But now, as she nears death, he’s going to have to listen to his feelings in a whole new way—and act. Because if he doesn’t, this week will be the worst damn week of his life. He’ll lose everything he’s ever loved.

Perfect for readers who like a bit of humour and romance with their suspense :)

Kelly Miller - Detective novels with as much emotion as fast-paced plot

SPLINTERED - Life turns from barely tolerable to complete hell when Maddy Eastin’s impulsive plan to win back the attention of her absentee father backfires. Word of her scheme spreads through her high school, but when mockery escalates to cyberbullying, Maddy and her failed stunt become headline news. But the worst is yet to come . . .

A disturbed man is fighting the overwhelming urge to surrender to his true nature—a moral code molded by a sadistic father who taught him that a girl needs proper training to become the perfect subservient woman. As he watches Maddy on the evening news, his already fractured psyche completely splinters. She’s the girl he’s been waiting for.

When Maddy disappears, she’s labeled a runaway even though her mother believes it was foul play. Will the two detectives investigating Maddy’s disappearance find her before it’s too late? Or has she already fallen prey to the vicious stranger hunting her?

This mystery/psychological thriller unfolds through the viewpoints of five deeply flawed characters. Each is on their own emotionally charged journey that ultimately intersects in a collision course of devastating consequences.

Readers who like crime fiction and psychological thrillers will love this 2015 Kindle Scout winner!

Anne Carrole-Capturing the romance of the West
For love…
When Mandy Prescott’s grandfather dies, this determined cowgirl expects to head up the family’s stock rodeo company. But JM Prescott’s last will and testament not only gives that honor to Ty Martin, a man who broke Mandy’s heart a decade ago, it contains a crazy provision: to gain back control, she must agree to marry Ty Martin for a period of six months. Mandy has three days to decide—marry a man she doesn’t trust but is still attracted to, or risk her company being sold. Risking her company is one thing. Risking her heart is another

For money…
Maverick lawyer Ty Martin measures success in dollars and cents. And he’s promised JM Prescott to base his decision to keep or sell the company on that yardstick. Only now he’s presented with an intriguing bonus: a six month, commitment-free relationship with a woman he’s always desired. Ty’s certain he’s up to both challenges.

Forever?
But, when it comes to this feisty cowgirl, has the maverick met his match?

Target Audience: Readers who love exploring what makes characters tick--and enjoy a few complications along the way to happily ever after. Fans of Linda Lael Miller will find much to like in The Maverick Meets His Match.

1. AUTHOR TAGLINE: Life is all about relationships.

2. TITLE: High Tea & Flip-Flops
BLURB: Chelsea Cole is only one paycheck away from--OMG--moving back to her mother's house, which would really suck because she's trying to catch the eye of the gorgeous Brit who moved into the apartment above hers.

Jeremy Pearce is definitely not her usual blond and bronzed surfer type. He's all sexy long hair, poet shirts, suede boots, and secrets. Lots of secrets. But how will she get close enough to solve the Jeremy puzzle if she keeps humiliating herself every time he's around?

To Chelsea's amazement, Jeremy comes to her rescue with an offer that not only ends her financial worries but means they'll be spending long hours together. The first secret she discovers is his surprising occupation--one that keeps her imagination focused on the bedroom. But while she's thinking pleasure, he's thinking business. Do they dare mix the two?

3. TARGET AUDIENCE: Women who like a little laughter with their romance.

Thank you for the op to talk about ROYAL DARE (The Royals of Monterra, Kindle Worlds).

1: Getting clean ain't easy...even for a princess.

2: ROYAL DARE

Born a princess, Violetta of Monterra is living the fairy tale. She has everything she wants. Designer purses and shoes, a party lifestyle and she’s as thin as a smartphone.

She’s also a meth addict.

If she doesn’t get clean, she’ll lose everything. Her title, her family. Her soul.

Learning how to survive in rehab is only the first step to gaining her sobriety. Once she finishes the program, the real challenge comes when Violetta goes back to her fancy Swiss boarding school. His name is Chace. Her first crush . . . and the guy who got her hooked on meth. Trusting him won’t keep her sober.

Then there’s Troy, the new hottie in school. Can he save her from relapse? And from losing everything precious to her before she goes down that rabbit hole for the last time?

3: Addiction to drugs is a major problem -- not just for the addict but for those in their world. If you've ever wondered what it's like to go to rehab, or what happens afterward, Royal Dare takes you into that world. Even though my heroine is a princess, she's not immune to the horrors of meth and how difficult it is to get clean. Princess Violetta meets some interesting people in rehab and hears the story about an old cloth doll and how she helped an addict face her demons. There are funny moments, too, like seeing our princess with a toilet brush cleaning bathrooms, and tearful ones--when a girl who is a "cutter" and addict calls the hotline manned by our princess threatening to kill herself and Violetta is the only one who can save her.

Royal Dare is for anyone who is an addict and wants help, and for those who love them.

Thank you.


Royal Dare (The Royals of Monterra) is available on Amazon Kindle
