Monday Author Shout Out Day

It is Monday, the first of the week again, and time to see what my writer friends have coming out either last week, or this week. Be sure to give us a blurb and a link to where we can buy your novel.

We will have a lot of readers coming by in a few days and we want them to buy our books. And to be honest, I know they are looking for a great read. I hear it all of the time.

This week, I have the honor of announcing that I have a novel being released tomorrow. A TIME FOR LOVE is a full length romantic thriller which involves a complicated land deal that triggers a triple romance. While I usually can complete a novel in a couple of months, this one was 13 years in the making.

It is available for pre-order at an initial discount of 15% until December 20th, More details are on my Publisher's site. http://www.bookstrand.com/a-time-for-love I hope you take a look at A TIME FOR LOVE.

Now, back to my writing friends. Tell us what you are releasing, and where we can find it. We would all love to read any details you can share about your novel.

  5. The Last Awakening by Rachel Firasek Released Dec 6th.

    For three hundred years, Arabella’s life has been one meaningless death after another. In a cruel twist of fate, Osiris–god of the Underworld–gifts the phoenix her mortality and returns her voodoo magic. If she fails to harness her wayward magic and save a man worthy of a second chance, she’ll forfeit her power and her soul–forever.

    Ex-soldier Greyson Meadows desperately wants to be freed from the nightmares and guilt that haunt him after the tragedy that brought him and Ari together. Confronted by the waif of a woman who forces him to face his worst fears, he resists, fighting the need to keep his personal demons hidden instead of setting them free.

    When Ari becomes the target of her own magical blunder, it’s not just her life in danger, but now the one of the man she loves.

  6. Legacy Forgotten by Nicole Hill

    Ailis has spent her entire life pretending that she did not have powers because her mother deemed them UN normal and therefore bad. Her grandmother spent the first years of Ailis’ life teaching her, preparing her for a great destiny. When her mother found out she moved them to California and away from her grandmother and teacher. So she decided to spend her life on the side of law enforcement. She is still doing great things. Her only problem now is that she is pretty sure that the serial murders her homicide unit is investigating are not being committed by a human. In walks the most gorgeous man she has ever seen. What’s wrong with that? Ailis not only knows that he is a vampire but she also knows that he is the one who’s been draining child molesters and murderers and leaving an empty carcass for her to find. Still, he does not seem like a bad guy to her. During her investigation she unearths secrets about her families past that takes her half way across the world to right a wrong that occurred hundreds of years ago. Can she trust this vampire to help her solve a mystery that could very well end up with her being life challenged herself?
    Dangerously attractive vampire, Kenneth has been around long enough to know that there are no such things as coincidences. That’s why, when he meets the undeniably strong willed homicide detective Ailis, he knows that there is a good explanation as to why she looks identical to his long dead fiancĂ©. He just has to figure out what that would be. He decides to look into it and quickly discovers that she may look like his fiancĂ© but she is independent and don’t take any crap. It doesn’t take long for her to remind him that he has a heart and what it feels like when it is breaking. When his one hundred year nemesis shows up in Miami and tries to force Ailis to join him, he realizes that her powers are worth something to even the worst of his kind. He pledges to protect her from any danger as long as he is still breathing. If those trying to keep her from fulfilling her destiny have anything to do about it, that won’t be long at all.

    An Alpha's Path came out just before last week and is my debut novel!

    Here is the blurb!

    Melanie is a twenty-five year old chemist who has spent all of her adult life slaving at school. With her PhD in hand, she's to start her dream job, but before she does, her friend persuades her to relax and try to live again. A blind date set up through her friends seems like the perfect solution. Melanie can take one night away from the lab and let her inner vixen out on a fixed blind date - a chance to get crazy with a perfect stranger. The gorgeous hunk she's to meet exceeds her wildest dreams – but he is more than what he appears and Melanie's analytical mind goes into overdrive.

    Kade, a slightly older werewolf (at over one hundred years), needs a night way from the Pack. Too many responsibilities and one near miss with a potential mate made Kade hide in his work, the only peace he can find. His brother convinces him to meet the sexy woman for a one night of fun. What could it hurt? But when he finds this woman could be his mate, can he convince her to leave her orderly, sane world and be with him and his wolf-half, for life?

  11. My BDSM holiday novella, Caught, came out on December 6th. Here's the blurb: When Callie returns to her hometown for the holidays she comes face to face with her old lover and Dominant, Jack. She left him three years ago believing he could never be the happily-ever-after man she needed. Yet Jack still wants her and she finds herself wanting to submit to him again.

    As Jack and Callie explore their Dominant/submissive relationship, Callie gets drawn deep into Jack’s world all over again. For his part, Jack can’t seem to forget how she nearly ruined him when she took off without even saying good-bye all those years ago, but he’s afraid his baser needs will destroy Callie.

    If Callie give Jack another chance to prove he can be what she needs, can Jack overcome his own fears and claim Callie forever?

  12. If I may, I'd like to talk about my short story that was published this Holiday Time last year by Whispers Publishing...UNWRAPPING CHRIS is a contemporary MILITARY romance that happens on a southern American army base. It is a cheap, quick read but, more importantly, was created from my personal visit to an army base while my son was in training to become a drill sergeant. He even helped me with the military terminology, and the book is dedicated to him and others who serve. Try it! Available at Amazon http://amzn.to/rBjJvj

    Thanks! www.RescuingRomance.nancyleebadger.com

  13. I'll shout a few out, though it will be a few days yet :)

    Later this week, I will be releasing the second in my indie mystery series, ONCE BURNED (the first book is PAST TENSE). Here is the blurb for ONCE BURNED:

    Tarot-medium Sophie Turner is back, and Boston is burning down around her as a string of serial arsons takes hold of the city. Her personal life isn’t faring much better as Sophie makes some disturbing – and potentially dangerous – discoveries about her friends that undermine her trust in those closest to her. Worse, after suffering a psychic dry spell, the newspapers are speculating that she’s a scam artist.

    When a graduate student dies in one of the fires, Sophie spots a ghost at the crime scene. She thinks the spirit is weak, but finds out differently as the ghost gets inside her head, luring her into its past life. Sophie can only rely on herself, her ghost, and her gift to find the arsonist even as she becomes the killer’s target.



    Next week, on Dec 20, you can pick up my brand new Blaze, Straight to the Heart! And you can pre-order, now, as well :)

    You can find all of my books on my website, with buy links: http://www.samanthahunter.com

  16. Hey Beth! Thanks for the opportunity to share!

    SHADOW'S EDGE is available now...

    It takes a monster to hunt one, and for Raine McCord, forged in the maelstrom of magic and science, she’s the one for the job. In a world where the supernatural live in a shadowy existence with the mundane, a series of disappearances and deaths threatens the secrecy of her kind and indicates someone knows the monsters are alive and kicking. Partnering up with the sexy and tantalizing Gavin Durand proves to be a challenge as dangerous as the prey she hunts.

    When the trail points back to the foundation which warped Raine’s magic as a child, her torturous past raises its ugly head. Gavin and Raine sift through a maze of lies, murder and betrayal to discover not only each other, but the emerging threat to them and the entire magical community.

  17. My charming, funny Texas romance released on Kindle last week and should be avail. on Nook any minute now. Featuring a big-hearted and impulsive heroine, a hero who needs to live down a bad reputation, and loads of adventure and romance, this book is a great gift for a female friend. And it was a heck of a lot of fun to write.

  18. I just put up a brand new ebook on Amazon.
    MASTER OF PARADISE is a Plantation novel; a Southern family saga. It has never been published before.
    When Nicholas Peacock is cheated of his inheritance of Peacock Hall in Kent, he sails to Charleston, buys land, clears it, and plants cotton. Eventually, he builds a magnificent house known as Paradise Plantation. He falls in love with the daughter of his neighbor, but when Civil War threatens, circumstances force Nicholas to accept a marriage in name only. The sexual tension is stretched to breaking point as the would-be lovers are torn between honor or surrendering to the love and longing in their hearts.
