Devour the Night with…me! :P

Screen Shot 2016-05-02 at 8.51.41 PM

So I did it.

I started a FB group.

*gasp*

And I love it! 😀

We already have themed days (a work in progress) and I’ll be sharing snippets, giveaways, and intermittent GOOFBALL posts. Members will also get first dibs at whatever I have to offer (my soul, maybe?) along with my newsletter subscribers (different offerings, of course…maybe my firstborn for subbies ;)). If you’re into the dark, sexy, and paranormal, come join us! I’d love to have you. 😀

Here’s the linkety-link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1544747369161573/

Other than that, I’ve been working my writer-butt off on SWEET SACRIFICE in my spare time (WHAT IS SPARE? *laughs maniacally*) and I passed the 20K word mark yesterday! WOOT. I stumbled across this image on Pinterest and it’s SO PERFECT for my hero, Sebastian. Figured I’d share since it portrays the feel of the whole story flawlessly.

Yes, it’s actually Cas from Supernatural, but I DON’T CARE, I LOVE IT.

*clears throat* Ahem.

That’s all for now, lovelies! Until next time…

*explodes in a burst of black confetti*

RELEASING THE DEMONS nominated for a RONE Award!

Guys, guess what?!

RELEASING THE DEMONS has been nominated for InD’Tale Magazine’s RONE Award in the paranormal category! \o/

Another award! Ahhh! I’m so thrilled and honored to be among these authors. 😀

You can vote for RtD here: http://www.indtale.com/2016-rone-awards-week-one

Like The Romance Reviews, you have to log in to vote, but InD’Tale is also awesome. 😀 I would be eternally grateful for any votes at all! ❤ Yay!

In other news, I’ve finished up the blurb on SWEET SACRIFICE (will be sharing it soon!) and submitted for a cover. Over my vacation this past week, I hit the 15K word mark (out of an estimated 35K) and it’s coming along nicely! Although, I gotta tell you, it isn’t easy submerging into the mind of a deeply depressed woman who’s lost her husband. Definitely needed to take a few breaks from it.

But there’s always an HEA…of course. 😉

Anywho, that’s all for now! Thank you everyone for all of your support (you guys are the bomb!) and have a great week! ❤ ❤ ❤

Updates! Contest news, blurb, and a new project!

3694fa76a15dbb3e3ec960bd619aaa4a

RELEASING THE DEMONS has officially advanced to the final voting round of The Romance Reviews Readers’ Choice Awards!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who voted in the initial nomination round! Now I’m going to nag you to vote again (if you’re so inclined). 😉 As before, you’ll have to log in to the site, but TRR is awesome and I bet you’ll find your next great read there. 😀

Check it out here! http://www.theromancereviews.com/viewbooks.php?bookid=18793

Any and all votes are greatly appreciated! I’m up against some fierce competition, and I honestly don’t expect to win, but I’d like to at least give them a run for their money (or votes, I suppose, ha).

BLACK BULLET has an official blurb! Check it out below. I’d love to know what you think!

Fledgling vampire Jonathan Kerr has just met his match.

Not even his past life as a former marine and FBI agent could prepare him for the battle against the monster inside him, struggling to take hold. After an old nemesis of the Senary surfaces in Brooklyn, unleashing chaos and terror in the battered borough, Jon sets out to take him down. Instead, he ends up with far more than he bargained for when he clashes with the beautiful half-vampire hybrid, Lawan Knight.

After escaping near death and suffering unspeakable horror at the hands of vampires, Lawan trusts no one, regardless of species. In between bouts of drunken stupor, her only goal is to exterminate all those who’ve wronged her, including every member of Jon’s vampire bloodline. But Jon’s soulful eyes and quick smile crawls under her skin, transforming her black and white world into a hazy shade of gray.

As the days rapidly grow darker, Jon and Lawan turn to one another, but their inner demons threaten to tear them apart. The only way either of them will survive is if they overcome their greatest fear—love.

I CANNOT WAIT TO SHARE THIS STORY WITH YOU ALL! It’s dark and heart breaking and gut wrenching–more than RtD was, IMHO–and I’m terrified of unleashing this story unto the world. BUT I MUST. Slated release is either late this summer/early fall, but you guys will be the first to know about it. 😀

f077438802db02843e51db2e5199aeb0.jpg

In the meantime, I’ve been working on a new novella! A secret project for a secret collective by Soul Mate Publishing (set to roll out next year). 😉 I’m about 10K words in and I’m really loving this temporary escape into another crazy world (albeit, it’s still dark, but in a different way). The image above perfectly depicts the hero, a former Navy SEAL and freshly drafted Archangel in Heaven’s Third Sphere. Too bad his old mortal life keeps dragging him back to Earth, especially his widowed wife, Irene… 😀

There will definitely be more to come on this! I’ll send out sneak peeks of this gem soon once I whip the MS into shape.

And last but not least, what do you all think about me starting a FB group? Do you enjoy them? Participate? Find them useful at all? I’d love to know your thoughts! It wouldn’t only be a street team, but we’d discuss all the dark, creepy, and romantic things we love. 🙂

Anywho, that’s all for now! I’m on vacation (for once, haha) and I’ve been focusing on getting some words out while I can. Hope you all have a wonderful week and stay tuned! ❤

Note: I do not own any of the above images. They’re all courtesy of Pinterest. 😉

Book Spotlight: BEWITCHING DESIRES, A Savannah Coven Anthology

Check out this awesome anthology by these very talented authors! I’m definitely picking up a copy for Halloween. 😉 There’s also a featured excerpt from Rebekah Ganiere’s story, KISSED BY THE REAPER. It’s a great snippet so keep reading!  

Bewitching Desires: A Savannah Coven Anthology

Rebekah R. Ganiere, Tami Lund, Niki Daninger, Jennifer Ray, Danielle Donaldson, Sheri Williams, Michele Mohr, Maria Arell, A. E. Snow, Andra Shine, Sonja FrĂśjdendal, and Kay Blake

Untitled

BLURB:

Twelve Paranormal Stories of Love, Hate, and Desire. Bewitching Desires, The Savannah Coven Anthology, is packed full of Witches, Warlocks, Werewolves, Ghosts, and even a Reaper. All based around the great holiday of Samhain – or, as mere humans call it, Halloween. The witches of the Savannah coven are all preparing themselves for their favorite holiday, but on the night when humans and spirits collide, nothing ever goes as planned.

Journey with an angel across the country, with a reaper chasing a soul hiding in someone else’s body, to a haunted hotel, with a reluctant supreme witch who’d rather give her powers to someone else, not to mention eight other wild and intriguing encounters.

Twelve interwoven tales from bestselling and up and coming authors will have you wishing Samhain came more than once a year…

Kissed by the Reaper

Rebekah R. Ganiere

Some loves are worth a battle with both heaven and hell to keep.

BLURB:

Rose committed an unpardonable sin right before she died. As penance, she has been reaping souls for Lucifer for over twenty years. On Halloween night she finds herself in Podunk nowhere ushering souls back to hell when she runs into the mysteriously handsome Gabriel who’s not at all what he seems. After chasing him into a cornfield and battling an angel to get Gabriel’s soul, she leaves with more questions than answers.

Gabriel is an angel hiding out as a jumper. A soul that jumps from body to body to stay hidden on Earth. But when he finds himself mortally wounded there is only one person he can turn to for protection. The feisty and beautiful reaper who tried to kill him the year before.

With Gabriel recuperating in her bed, Rose is summoned by her boss to hell where he makes her a proposal. Find the jumper Gabriel and deliver his soul, and she will be set free. Fail and become Lucifer’s bride forever. It should be an easy choice. Problem is, Gabriel is the first person Rose has been able to touch without scaring to death in the last twenty years. And just his presence has begun to bring back hidden memories from her human life. In the end Rose will have to make the ultimate decision. Choosing Gabriel or choosing herself.

EXCERPT:

“Did you know there’s a black guy slumped on the floor in the last aisle?” said one.

“What?” Alarm bells went off in her head. “Crap.” The guy from the back door. She’d completely forgotten about him.

Rose rushed to the side of the counter, threw the separator up and raced down the last aisle. The bell tinkled for the front door, but she kept moving.

She found him splayed on the floor, face down. “Dammit.” She knelt by his side and rolled him over. “Hey. Hey, wake up.” She patted his cheek.

His eyes fluttered open and went from hazel to golden and then back again. “Rose.”

Her heart pounded. A Jumper. “Elijah?”

He nodded. No wonder he knew her name.

She threw his arm over her shoulder and helped him into a seated position.

“How did you find me?” She glanced around while trying to get Elijah to his feet. A Jumper, especially a hurt one wasn’t the norm for her. As a Reaper it was her job to play bounty hunter and send Jumpers to hell. They didn’t usually come asking for help. Someone was on his tail.

“I’ve known all year.” Blood dribbled down his chin.

She laced her fingers between his, got him up, and leaned him on the shelf. She needed to move him out of sight and get everyone out of the store. No! She needed to get his butt out of her store. She still bore the scar from her last visit to Lucifer’s pad a year prior when she’d let him slip through her fingers.

“Did you take the angelbreath?” she asked.

He nodded. “The whole container.”

“You gotta leave. Now. At sundown I’ll have to reap you.”

He gaze connected with hers. “I’ve missed you.”

Her gut tightened and the feeling that she knew him from somewhere rushed through her again. All year she’d tried to forget him, but it was hard to forget an angel Jumper. Especially one who looked at her the way he did.

“Ah, damn. Come on.” She half dragged, half carried him toward the front of the store. It was slow and he stumbled several times but they finally made it to the curtain separating the store from the back rooms. She glanced toward the front counter. The goths were gone. So was the merchandise. Stupid girls. They’d pay for stealing from her.

She used her hip to nudge the curtain aside and helped him through the box maze over to a large red chaise lounge. She threw him down on it. He grunted and tried to pull himself into a sitting position.

“What the hell happened to you?” She looked around and located a box of tissues. Pulling out several, she dabbed his mouth, wiping away the blood.

“Reapers.”

She stopped dabbing. “Reapers plural?”

“Three.”

“Reapers don’t work together.”

He gave her a winning smile. “I’m a special case.”

BLURB:

Blaze Knight has been through hell and back, but the nightmares aren’t over yet.

Five years after Blaze was maimed by Cyrus Chimola, a powerful vampire with a penchant for torture, he’s still trying to pick up the pieces of his shattered life. As a genetically engineered mercenary with the ability to bend fire to his will and to see in infrared, Blaze’s mission is to protect what’s left of humanity. When Chimola and his crew return to the Bronx gunning for Blaze’s blood, Blaze is forced to face the demons of his past. Hell-bent on revenge, he seeks the help of Valerie Medeiros, an NYPD detective who manages to steal his heart and save his life in more ways than one.

Motivated by her sister’s gruesome death, Valerie has made it her life’s goal to bury every vampire in the ground where they belong. When she brings in Blaze Knight for suspected murder, she discovers he’s not only innocent, he isn’t a man at all—he’s a half-vampire hybrid working with a band of brothers for the U.S. military. Valerie has a hard time trusting anything with fangs, yet she quickly falls headlong into Blaze’s life, a life full of darkness and horror she can’t even begin to fathom. The bodies are stacking up, but Valerie can’t seem to let go of this hybrid, a beautiful monster filled with pain, rage, and passion unlike anything she’s ever known.

In a world where the line between good and evil is blurred, Blaze and Valerie will find danger at every turn, risking everything they’ve come to know and love, including one another.

SNIPPET:

Valerie kept her eyes locked on the glass windows covered with cigarette prices and beer ads, watching Tattoos pay up at the cash register. Once she reached the side of the building, she pressed her back against the warm brick wall. Sweat trickled down her spine and she wiped her clammy hands on her jeans before she drew her Beretta. She listened for the bell hanging above the store entrance, and when it jingled, she peered past the corner of the building.

There he is.

Holding a pack of Marlboros, he slipped it into his back pocket along with a silver money clip. He walked back toward the Chevelle, scanning the area one more time as he stepped off the concrete elevation.

This is it. Do it. Now!

With her gun pointed at the ground in a two-handed grip, Valerie pushed off the wall and turned the corner, staring at his back. Her voice was loud and clear as she called, “Blaze.”

He stopped and pivoted around. A fleeting expression of confusion filled his face, but it quickly turned into shock as she lifted her gun and shouted, “Freeze, NYPD!”

Gasps and shouts resounded as everyone turned their attention on her. Some people ducked while others gawked, and she wished they would just climb into their cars and get the hell out of here. She did her best to ignore them, keeping her focus solely on the man before her as she carefully approached him. He didn’t make any sudden movements, his brow furrowing as a muscle in his jaw ticked.

Valerie flashed her badge to prove she wasn’t bullshitting. “Get your hands in the air where I can see them.”

He slowly lifted his arms and spread his hands out wide. Then spoke with a voice like black gravel, matching his appearance all too well. “What’s going on here?”

She closed in on him, his presence becoming more and more overwhelming. Sirens resonated in the distance, sending a trickle of relief through her. He didn’t appear armed but that didn’t mean jack.

“Turn around and get down on the ground. Now!”

Anger consumed the confusion on his face but he surprisingly complied, giving her his back again before dropping to his knees with his hands above his head.

She kept her gun aimed and her mind submerged in the well of her calm. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d arrested someone; she usually shot to kill. “Cross your ankles,” she ordered, and he did so, crossing his booted ankles as if he’d done this before.

Valerie placed her foot in the space between his legs, so if he attempted to stand he would end up flat on his face. People finally backed away as she removed her tungsten carbide handcuffs from her utility belt, gripping the Beretta with knuckles white as chalk. Tungsten carbide was the only metal strong enough to hold a vampire, but she used it on everyone, regardless of species. Two New Rochelle cruisers whipped into the gas station, blocking off both exits before four officers leapt out of their respective vehicles. Valerie put the gun up and cuffed Blaze’s dominant hand, swinging his right arm around before latching onto the left.

He didn’t put up a fight. He didn’t even flinch. But he balled his big hands into fists at his back. She read him his Miranda rights as she cinched the cuffs around both of his thick wrists.

“You have the right to remain silent—”

“I have the right to know what’s going on,” he growled, showing her his savage profile.

“Anything you do or say can be used against you in a court of law.”

“What are you arresting me for?”

“You have the right to an attorney.”

“Fuck the attorney—”

She yanked the chain of his cuffs, bringing his solid body against her as the faint scent of cologne tickled her nose. She leaned into his ear, anger flashing through her as she thought of bloody grass and charred flesh.

“You’re under arrest for the murder of Elena Delgado. Now get the fuck up and move.”
