Fantasy and Vampire Book Club discussion

Yep, just keep teasin' me...The censor? Nope, not even that is gonna hide you! Now, the 'Chase' is on. ;}

I'm Heidi Cullinan, and I write fantasy, contemporary, and historical romance. My contemporaries and historicals are all m/m so far, but my fantasies can be all over the map. One series in particular, the Etsey series, is more traditional straight-up fantasy. The Seventh Veil is the first in that series.

You can read more about me and about my books at my profile page: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/21....

Rachel haven't you posted in here already?
or am i imagining things?

Hhhmmm....I believe I have, but it may have been about something else. This is the first time I mentioned the e-book because it literally just released today. Hope that's okay!

"We ask that authors only post their book once and it can be posted again if you are answering a separate post which relates to your book "
re posted from the rules topic(i has a longer name but it's essentially the rules topic)

However if it is completely different. I don't see a problem. Just as long as it's not constantly about the same thing.

Okay, sure thing. Sorry for any inconvenience.

you haven't inconvienced me at all rachael!

It's all part of my job as a moderator, to make sure rules are adhered to, smooth running etc. and i do it all because i want to not because i have to!

anyway rachael, the group is developing rules as we go along, that one has been in effect for a while(the no spamming one), but the rules topic is hardly ever noticed, so i have to draw attention to i a bit more (and that's what i'm starting to do now).

by implementing a few rules as the group gets larger i'm hoping it'll make my job easier in the long run.

Oh, I totally understand, Adele. It's got to be hard to keep track of everything as the group snowballs and gets larger and larger. You gotta do what you gotta do! Thanks for bringing it to my attention so I don't share duplicate information. I don't want to be one of THOSE people lol. :)

Not sure if I did this right! Salem Moon is on goodreads. New novel which blends historical fiction with paranormal romance.

Hey All,

Anyone interested in trading endorsements? I write YA fiction and have a small but growing following. If you're interested, write in the same genre, and want to swap books, let me know. Thanks so much.

Thought I'd share my new fantasy book, Ruined City:

Ruined City

Uncover the secrets that haunt the streets of Elowen as twelve tales unfold the story of this cursed city.

In the Northern Pass stands the city of Elowen, the glittering guardian between the Empire of Aloquis and the Kingdoms of Immra. It stands proud and prosperous, never dreaming its dark past was coming to call...

On a bright winter’s day a stranger arrives in Elowen, bearing a secret. From this man a dark blight of ruin descends over the great city and this day becomes known as Winter’s Bane.
The day the world changed for the people of Elowen.
The day their existence turned into a recurring nightmare.

Read of the aftermath of revenge through the eyes of a shopkeeper, a child, ghosts, a blacksmith, a guardsman, an innkeeper, and even a King.

Twelve Stories, One Evil.

Father Michael Henry had sacrificed his youth and worldly desires to God. He feels he is worthy of Heaven. When doctors resuscitate him after suffering a heart attack he is shocked to what he remembers after death… nothing. He turns against Christianity, seizing the attention of a vampire, Lamia. She sends her half-vampire servant, Morrow, to offer something to him that God had not, the gift of eternal life. He eagerly accepts the gift with open arms, but soon finds out to his dismay that the gift is actually a curse that afflicts the damned. Now he fights for what is left of his humanity to escape from the powerful vampire that hungers for him.

Check out my new YA Paranormal Romance Novel, Beg for Mercy.

Everyone dreams of that first kiss. Of that magic moment when your lips finally meet those of that special person you’ve waited your whole life for. A little awkward, a little scary, a little hot and every bit amazing. We speculate that the whole world will shake and time will just stop. No one, however, ever imagines that kiss to bring Death himself knocking.

The book is currently at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Beg-Mercy-Cambi...

It is also available at Barnes and Noble:

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...

Well in a lot of groups it is a NO-no to promote your work. hence i created an area where it is safe to do so. However we don't want to become a group that is overrun with promo. that is why we try to restrict all promotion to here.

It's my first attempt at a novella so pls be kind. : D

Hi Shannon,

Your book sounds interesting. I might just check it out. Vampires are my favorites.

Shannon. :)

It's my very first novella... I expanded a ramble that I started years ago. I'm working on Book 2 now. Constructive critiquing appreciated, just be kind, like I said before this was a new venture for me, LOL!

Link to my guest blog on RomCon. They saw the 4 out of 4 star review on RT Book Reviews for "The Path" soon to come out in paperback but available now in ebook and asked me to blog. There's a snippet of "The Path" if you want a taste. Check it out.

Hello everyone,

I'm still new around here, but I wanted to share my book with other vampire and paranormal enthusiasts. If you like vampires, shapeshifters, and a little humor, then I invite you to check out Blood Candy.

Heres the quick blurb or you can check it out on my profile:

Vampires are the last thing on anyone’s mind in small town Massachusetts.

Candy Shuler's first summer after high school takes an unexpected turn when she becomes the target of a lunatic with a thirst for blood. Private school should have offered a class on how to survive the night from a linguistically challenged psychopath.

Jimmy may be a nerd, but he and his lycan friends know a thing or two about what comes out when the sun goes down. But they can barely protect themselves from the dark things lurking in the shadows of New England without having to watch over Candy as well.

If Candy wants to see the dawning of another day, she’ll have to come to terms with her feelings for Jimmy and trust his pack of misfit shapeshifters. If Jimmy wants to get the girl, he’ll have to stop running and face his immortal enemies.


Blood Candy adds a humerous twist to the paranormal genre you've come to know and love. Vampires who refuse to beleive the American Revolution is over, shapshifters with startling secrets, and the girl caught in the middle - Blood Candy is a book for all vampire and paranormal fans.

Blood Candy is available on Amazon as well as Barnes and Noble. Thank you for reading =)

Hi All!

Just wanted to tell you about my ebook, New Blood!
Thanks!

New Blood

A short blurb:
Emma Hammond is a normal young woman living in New York City whose life changes forever when one misstep brings her very close to death. Luckily, Alex Thompson, a handsome stranger (who also happens to be a vampire), jumps in to save her, turning Emma into a vampire. She quickly discovers the numerous advantages (no more allergies, glasses, or acne) and slight drawbacks (wanting to eat her boyfriend) of joining the ranks of the creatures of the night. But Emma soon finds out her new undead life isn't all it's cracked up to be when she gets pulled in to an age-old dispute between two feuding vampire clans.

Sounds great!!

Hi Guys,

shameless plug I'm afraid. If you fancy something completely different, why not try my newly published comic fantasy, The Banned Underground?

Take one Dark Lord, one off-white witch, two teenagers, one dwarf blues band and a jazz- loving BogTroll. Mix. Wait for the explosion of laughter...
What could be worse? Having to take a holiday in the (rainy) Lake District in the North West of England, with an aunt who turns people into frogs for a hobby? Or battling the local Dark Lord, whose attempt at World Domination starts with the nearby underground Dwarf Mansion, and its’ enormous collection of used Pizza boxes? Or getting involved with a jazz-loving BogTroll and his dwarfish Rhythm and Blues band? Or is it being miles from a McDonalds? The teenagers find out…

NIGHT REALM

Night Realm is a Paranormal Detective novel set on Australia's Gold Coast. It is the story of private detective, Ryan Fox. When he meets the beautiful Selena Thorne, Ryan’s life takes a detour into a dark world he thought only existed in folklore and in the minds of movie producers. Selena hires Ryan to acquire the unusual research of scientist, Doctor Marlon Becker. Becker is a hematologist and an expert in blood disorders. When Ryan discovers what the focus of Becker’s research is, it puts a whole new spin on things.

Chelsea, Ryan's teenage sister, meets Travis and she soon realizes there is something very different about this attractive and mysterious new boy in town. A relationship quickly develops .No sooner has Chelsea fallen for Travis when she learns he’s not actually what he seems.

Meanwhile, Homicide Detective David Marks investigates a spate of strange murders, where victims appear to have had every drop of blood drained from their bodies, with the only apparent injuries being two puncture wounds on the throat. With no solid leads on a suspect and more people dying every few days, Marks is getting nowhere fast in his quest to apprehend the killer.

As the story unfolds the lives of the characters - both human and vampire - come together in a gripping climax where not everyone comes out alive, and not everything goes as planned.

http://www.amazon.com/Night-Realm-ebo...

Mystery, Murder, Vampires and Jack the Ripper. Fallen is a rousing, paranormal ride through Victorian England. It is a unique story about a LOVE that will never die and a KILLER that could live forever...

FALLEN is listed on my Goodreads, or you can visit my website www.evangelineravencraft.com There you will find more information as well as links on where to purchase both the print and digital versions.

Thank you for setting this up.
