I am looking forward to becoming part of the community.

My novel is going to be a four-part serial, and I'm currently offering ARC copies of Part I in exchange for Amazon reviews. Part I is 100pgs in length, and I'll need reviews by 30th April for the release date. If anyone needs any more information, feel free to ask. :)
Here's a synopsis:
Have you ever had a friend you'd die for?
One you'd kill for?
At seventeen-years-old, Jennifer should have the world at her feet. Instead, she’s an ex-heroin addict living in a council estate with Tony, her boyfriend and former dealer. Shunned by her family and friends, she dreams of something greater than she’s been given.
Beautiful and strange, Ebony has moved in across the street. She’s just lost the one person in her lonely existence to cancer. She’s also a centuries old vampire, struggling to cope with murderous outbursts and the desire to be something more.
When these two lost souls meet, an unusual friendship begins.
But with the news of Morris, Tony’s sadistic best friend and drug-dealing partner, being released from prison, Jennifer knows it’s only a matter of time before his path of vengeance leads to her and Ebony, too.
With a cast of memorable characters, a village full of secrets, and a gripping story, The Fragile Things is a layered tale of friendship, hope, survival and what it truly means to be human.

"Thirteen sixty-three. The werewolf warrior Stytentos is jaded and disillusioned, living in a monastery in Nepal. His outlook on life has changed since the humans turned on his people and began hunting them to the point of extinction. As mass hysteria took over Dacia, lycanthropes and humans alike were burned at the stake, accused of being werewolves “in league with the Devil” by the self-righteous and power-hungry Catholic Church. Stytentos is attempting to rebuild his life in the aftermath of the darkest chapter of his people’s existence: The Burnings. So when an old friend long dead appears to him in a dream, asking for him to fight the vampire threat and save the world, he wants no part of it. Eventually, he gives in and his quest leads him on an adventure that will take him around the globe, throughout the centuries until present day. Modern America and the rest of the world have forgotten the old ways, as vampires and werewolves live, fight and die in secret. Nestafil, the vampire leader, plots to unleash his nosferatean army on the human populace and enslave the werewolves. Stytentos must once again learn how to let people get close to him. And the clock is ticking. Will he learn the true identity of who murdered the Volknor family? Can the werewolves destroy the vampires once and for all? It’s a showdown to the finish as the fate of humankind hangs in the balance."

*FOREWARNING* The book itself has erotic/sexually explicit content, and while I honestly attempt to make everything "classy" and related to the story, it's still sex. Not going to sugarcoat that or anything. Obviously this isn't for anyone under 18, then.
Anyways! The trade paperback is currently available on most Amazon sites(except .ca, I believe) and will be available at others(B&N, etc.) around 5/11/13. The eBook will be coming out around 4/11/13, or so.
It's a medieval fantasy, coming of age(all characters are adults/18+, of course), erotic monster romance book involving a haughty princess and a troll. There's blackmail, taboo sexual experimentation, love, lust, intrigue, deceit and deception, acceptance(or the lack thereof), silly fun, and a more serious romance.

My author site and everything is connected to Goodreads, so you can just check my profile here for more info about me, too. Feel free to send me a friend request if you want =)
I have a PDF copy of the book if anyone wants to take a look at it(just send me a message. 18+ only). I'd love reviews and I appreciate them a lot, but they are by no means necessary. I'll also be holding some Goodreads giveaways things for copies of the trade paperback in a bit(I'm thinking 1 a week for the month of April).
I'm thinking of doing some bookmark giveaways through my website, too, for subscribers to my newsletter, so if that's interesting to you then feel free to sign up(I post deals and freebies and stuff every now and again for e-books, too, so that's kind of neat).
My website is mostly safe for work, but the banner sometimes has women in lingerie, so probably not really, depending on where you work I guess? There's no sexually explicit content on the website, though.

I think that's it! If anyone has any questions they want to ask me, feel free to message me, but please don't be weird! =)

Spencer Perry lost everything the day her boyfriend died. Even when he came back as a ghost, she was never able to return to her old self. Determined to find a way to bring both of them back--him from the dead and her from her depression--Spencer hops a ride with a Reaper across the river to the Underworld where she meets the god of the dead. Hadrian isn't what she expected Hades to be like, but when he agrees to a deal that can get her Micah back, she puts all caution aside and accepts. Too bad she didn't realize that she'd also just accepted a lot more than one gorgeous yet frustrating god. Bad things are happening all around her, and now she not only has to worry about keeping Micah's ghost status a secret from their friends, but also figure out who's behind all of the accidents. All signs point towards Hadrian, but something about that just doesn't feel right to her. Something that she hopes has nothing to do with her growing attraction towards him.

Culture Shock

Description:
CULTURE SHOCK is a witty tale of mystery and romance with a large helping of southern hospitality.
Macy Holmes is a seventeen-year-old socially-isolated introvert since her best friend's death a year ago. When her family decides to move from Manhattan to the quaint country town of Bougainvillea, Florida, Macy finds she's in a completely different world. Macy is no longer the outsider hiding behind designer clothes when she is sought out by three strange students, one of whom she is particularly interested in. The more time she spends with Chad the more things don't add up. When his true identity is finally revealed, Macy is pulled into a supernatural society with its saturation of inhabitants residing in Bougainvillea.
You would think she has enough on her plate, but no, then her dreams become infiltrated by an external magical force, Macy and her band of supernatural misfits must find the culprit behind the magic-induced nightmares. They must dodge zombie assassins, shifty shape-shifters and high school bullies in order to stop this perpetrator before Macy, her friends or her parents pay the ultimate price. Especially when Macy has the sneaking suspicion that these dreams are reality...

Yet all is not as it first appears for the corrupt Order of Witch-Hunters watch from afar and one man’s obsession leads to a deadly trap. Avarice and betrayal are everywhere; who can be trusted? Creatures long thought dead rise in the darkness, and forgotten magic burns with a bitter flame.
Who makes the rules in this game of intrigue and lies? Shattered beliefs and unwelcome truths abound in an adventure filled with magic, passion, greed and revenge.
18+ rating - contains scenes of both sex and violence.
Extra warning - contains elves!
This is the second in the series but can be read as a stand alone novel.

It was a lot of fun to write. It is a story I imagined could happen taking off from where Season 4 ends.


This is the first novel in ..."
Nickie, this sounds interesting!




Vampire Alexandria Cartwright believes she’s found the perfect home in paranormal suburbia. An independent young woman and professional financial adviser, Alexi needs help from no man, human or paranormal. Until burglars break into her house and steal her most valuable possession–one which could lead to her demise.
Werewolf Gregory Holmes is instantly attracted to his new neighbor and wants nothing more than to protect her from any who would seek to harm her. Helping Alexi recover her stolen safe seems to be the perfect opportunity to show her how he feels.
Centuries of experience have shown Alexi all men are greedy pigs who only think with the brain below their belt. But as Greg comes to her aid repeatedly, she wonders if he’s the real deal. Can she overcome her loathing for men? Can Greg break through the wall she’s built to show her the meaning of love?

I'm on a blog tour for the next two weeks to promote my new paranormal romance novel. I'm giving away an Amazon gift card. The first chapter can be read for free here: Chapter One
I invite you to stop at one of the websites and enter to win the gift card. Dates and locations can be found here: My Website
I also have an urban fantasy novel coming out in early November. I'll be on a blog tour to promote it as well. Here is the info for Immortal Revenge:

Grief stricken Katie Dillinger is on a mission to claim revenge for the death of her lover. In a race against time to find the murderer, Katie reaches out to Riker, a man listed as her boyfriend’s emergency contact. The cold-hearted man comes to Katie’s aid, but she doesn’t completely trust him. To keep her friends safe, she insists they leave town immediately. But her efforts come too late. A friend disappears and a clear message is left in the wake: surrender or more people will die.
Katie’s world is turned upside down when she discovers Riker has vowed to protect her. She’s involved in a prophecy, one which her lover had been preparing her for before his murder. All the combat training he gave her suddenly makes sense, and as Katie fights to keep her friends alive, she’s forced to prioritize. Revenge now, saving mankind next.

I'm thrilled to say that I've published my first book. It's the first in a seven book series called Feral—supernatural romances that delve into the history and variations within vampire species. "Engaging and interesting", it also puts a new twist on vampire mating, exploring the more animalistic traits of the immortal species like no other. It's a fresh new look at these mythological creatures, with strong romantic threads and super sexy moments between our hero and his mate. Feral: Part One is available now on Amazon!
Sofia Deering has just returned from her core studies in London when she runs, quite literally, into Simon Treviso, the alluring Humanities professor of the local university she attends. The sudden intensity to which she is drawn to him is startling, but even more so when she discovers there is more to the man than she would have ever imagined. The sexy Italian is an incubus!
Sofia learns that Simon has suppressed his dark, animalistic side for over six hundred years. Determined to encourage and release true his nature, Sofia must also navigate the new world opened to her while fending off the obsessive ex lover determined to keep Sofia for himself.


Hi, I'm Tima Maria and I'm new here, but I've been part of Goodreads a while. It's led me to a lot of fabulous books. Now, I've written and published my own - a PNR vampire series set in Sydney.
Descended from a cursed Roman soldier, primary school teacher, Laura Dantonville carries a rare genetic mutation that makes her a coveted prize to the secret community of vampires who reside in beautiful harbour city of Sydney. Her unique blood not only enables them to daywalk, but is also the key to ending a centuries-old curse. As such she becomes the epicentre of a power struggle between two rival vampire factions who want to claim her. The oldest and most powerful of these is led by Alec Munro, whose position as leader, or Princeps, gives him sole claim to Laura. Has she any other choice but to accept her destiny?
It's currently available on Smashwords, where anyone can download a sample.It'll be on Amazon and B&N within three weeks.
I'd love readers to check it out and give me some feedback, or post a review.

Hi JC, your book sounds good. Would love to read them.

The Last Overseer is a good blend of science fiction, occult horror, dysfunctional romance and alternative history.

My name is Gayane and I am the author of a new vampire series "Stuck In 2 Worlds" the first book came out in July called Cloak & Dagger. My book is a little different from other vampire books. Through out my life i have seen and herd how just because someone was born a girl in the middle east had no value, no voice and was looked at as someones property at all times. Saddest of all many had no say in their marriage and were married off as early as 9 years old. I took many things that I or others went through and put it in to my series. It's a vampire series but with so much culture in it.
It's available in amazon, barns & Nobles, apple, smashwords, wavecloud and all the major places that sell books. You can just put my name G. Avetis in the search bar on any of the sites that sell nook and it will pull up. Soon it will also be in audiobook!!!
10% of everything that is made for my books lifetime is going to the orphans. This November I am holding a orphan charity event in Sacramento and everything that is made that day will also go to the orphans Christmas gifts!!! So the more books I sell the more I can do for those kids in need:-)
My website is gavetis.com you can learn a little more about me there:-)
Hi JC, I understand the time issues as I'm in the same position - currently writing book two in my series - while trying to keep up with my reading and everything else. Your book is next on my list. Will post a review when I've read it.
Mawh,*blowing kisses your way* J.C. :-) Once my book's on Amazon (Sept. 20th), let's see if we can't make our novels hit the Top spot list!

Imagine you were destined for something far greater than you ever thought possible. You have no choice in the matter, it will just be. You can’t run as it is in your blood. You cannot escape your destiny.
Karamee Thornley, a quiet twenty-three-year-old college student, lives a quaint life in the small town of Wisteria Heights, Washington. That is, until the day she lets the very charismatic and mysterious Chance into her life. For the first time, it seems, she has met someone who complements her heart in a way that no other could. She is unaware, though, that Chance is actually a Collector, a primordial order of vampires created to discover the vampire Legends of ancient prophecy before their transformation can begin. As she struggles to understand the truth behind her destiny, the quiet life she clings to begins to unravel, and little by little her world, like her own being, is transformed.
Filled with chaos, excitement, romance and more, this story sends Chance and Karamee down a path of undeniable love and despair, leading up to the climatic event that may prove to be Karamee’s demise.

Fire. The most chaotic of the primal elements. When wielded properly by the Knight of Flame, it burns like the sun. Otherwise, it slowly consumes the Knight, burning away his control, driving him towards dark deeds.
Stationed in Tampa, FL, Develor Quinteele, sixth Knight of Flame, waits impatiently for the predicted emergence of the last Gray Lord, his Order's ancient enemy. Hampered by a centuries-old tragedy, Dev knows of only one way to control his elemental power—rage. It broils just below his surface, waiting for the slightest provocation to set it alight.
Anticipating Dev's transition from asset to liability, his commander assigns a young guardian, Wren, to report on Dev's actions. Torn between duty and love, Wren struggles to save her Knight; but, after a brutal attack by the Gray Lord's minions for which Dev is wrongly blamed, he's stripped of his freedom until he regains control.
With the help of his fellow Knights, can Dev regain his balance and unlock his full elemental potential in time to prevent the destruction of all life in Tampa?
"In Knight of Flame Scott re-imagines traditional fantasy and forges something new from old metal--a fast-paced thriller that delivers a healthy dose of wonder. As enjoyable as it is engrossing." - David Farland, International Best-Selling Author of The Runelords
Here's a link to the first five chapters on my publisher's website: http://www.twilighttimesbooks.com/Kni...
The ebook was released on Kindle and Nook last week. It should be available on Kobo in the next couple of days. The print edition will come out in December. I hope you check it out.
The war against the last Gray Lord has begun!
Have fun,
Scott

Hi Everyone,
My name's Tima Maria Lacoba and my debut paranormal romance thriller, BLOODGIFTED, went live as an ebook on Amazon two weeks ago. I'd love some feedback and reviews. Here it is summarised in one line - "A young woman discovers the frightening reality behind her delayed ageing."
It's the first in a trilogy, entitled, "The Dantonville Legacy." Here's the description - What’s a girl to do when she learns she’s descended from a vampire? Being unable to age is only the beginning…
Laura Dantonville is a Primary school teacher with one wish—to marry her boyfriend, Detective Matt Sommers. When her aunt Judy reveals a frightening family secret that explains her rare genetic mutation, it threatens to propel her into a dark underworld where her true family waits.
Laura’s future with Matt hangs in the balance.
Alec Munro never wanted to become guardian to a Dantonville regardless that her blood is coveted by his vampire-kind. But his sire, Lucien Lebrettan, gave him no choice. Now he’s faced with not only protecting the girl, but fathering a child with her in order to end his servitude—and a centuries-old curse.
… which some among his kind will do anything to prevent.

My name is Harvey McCarthy and I have a vampire novel available. (Please note: My vampires do not sparkle.) Here is a Goodreads review:
Fresh Take on Vampire Lore - Jodi Wolfe
This isn't your usual vampire story. In Blood Reign, the vampires enjoy blood margaritas, massage chairs and lavender bubble baths when they're not ripping out throats or severing limbs. The hero is an ancient priest turned vampire who drinks holy water to combat his bloodlust. In an interesting twist, the story reveals that several of history's most infamous occurrences have been part of the secret ongoing battle between vampires and humans. Sure, these vampires still hate religious symbols and burn in the sun, but the way they were born and multiplied is different and interesting. Plus, blood slushies! Check it out.
Synopsis:
"The never-ending war between good and evil rages!
When the breathtakingly beautiful Mikhaeli Lanaova wanted a better life, she never imagined that it would be at the expense of countless lives. Cristof Blutherz, a man of the cloth, wanted to change a corrupt world and that same corruption changed his life forever.
Born out of distain and evil, the Order of Twelve, the original vampires, were cursed to walk the earth forever. They were the scourge of humanity until the Council of the Light, a secret holy army, vowed to rid the world of their evil presence.
Centuries later, Council of the Light warriors, led by Christopher Bloodheart, battle an evil and seductive vampire queen as she attempts to obtain mysterious vampire tomes. Within these tomes are the secrets to becoming a more powerful vampire. Her quest hides a secret nefarious plot which could destroy the Council of the Light."
