Freebie! On a Wing and a Dare ~ Delight Takes Flight

Posted: March 7, 2013 in Action/Adventure, Book Promos, Freebies!, otherworldly, Series, YA Fantasy
Tags: Adventure, series, winged horses, YA Fantasy

I have exciting news.

On a Wing and a Dare is free to download on Amazon Thursday, March 7th and Friday, March 8th.

I just won a gift card and this book was on my list as one to buy. Now I can buy the second book, In the Winds of Danger!

I love the titles for Linda’s books and can’t wait to enter her world of winged horses!

Mark your calendar and go here to get yours!

On a Wing and a Dare

In Tremeirchson, a barn leader’s children are expected to follow their parents into the sky, becoming riders of the magnificent winged horses that are the medieval Welsh village’s legacy. Neither Emma nor Davyd, however, want to follow that tradition.

Sixteen-year-old Emma risks losing her family by following her heart. Eager to take her place in the air, she longs to ride a forbidden winged colt born in barn of her father’s biggest rival. She also dreams of the rival’s sons, not sure which she truly loves. Bold and exciting, Evan will someday lead his father’s barn. Davyd is quieter, more dependable, with an ability to get things done. Her father disapproves of both boys and pushes her toward an ambitious newcomer. He also insists she ride the colt he’s picked for her.

Davyd, also sixteen, is plagued with a secret—he is afraid of heights. Refusing to become a rider means public humiliation, his parents’ disappointment, and lifelong ridicule from his brother, Evan. He reluctantly prepares to join his family aloft in the Aerial Games that provide the entire village with its livelihood and tries desperately to think of an alternative.

As Tremeirchson’s barns prepare for the Rider Ceremony, winged horses suddenly start dying. Shocked, the adults hesitate, mired in tradition and politics. Is it a disease or poison? Accidental or purposeful? Someone must discover the answer and act before all the winged horses in the world are gone forever.

And check out book two!

This is a sequel to ON A WING AND A DARE, but it’s not necessary to read them in order.

Nineteen year old Nia is shocked when she is secretly offered the leadership of Third Barn. This new barn full of flying horses will need someone confident, experienced, and innovative, so why are both warring factions pursuing an untried girl? Suspicious that both sides want a puppet instead of a leader, Nia races to discover their secrets before making the biggest decision of her life.

Some of those secrets are unknowingly buried in the disconnected memories of a young groom named Owain. Terror and guilt haunt Owain’s dreams – and then a face from his nightmare arrives in High Meadow. Owain looks for answers in his past and uncovers a dangerous plot that could doom High Meadow’s future. How can he foil the plot and save his people as well as the winged horses?

So what do you think? Want to ride a winged horse? I do!!

Death and Kisses ~ Book Blast and $100 Giveaway!

Tags: action/adventure, fantasy, ghosts, romance, YA

Welcome to my stop on the Book Blast for Death and Kisses by Clover Autrey hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer.

Death and Kisses

“My only thought was for Aden. I ran to him, kicking up water and called out his name. He turned and my heart skidded, crumbled and dropped to my feet. Not Aden, but Brad. Then where was . . .?

I looked down to where Brad’s gaze had been focused, down, down, in the murky water towards the center of the pond. No. Noooo! I shouldn’t be able to see him through the stirred-up sediment, but I did. Pascual was drowning Aden just as he had drowned Brad.”

One night changed Kasey’s life forever. The star football player drowned and everyone at school blames her. And oh, yeah, since that night, she can see ghosts. Not that she’s afraid of them. Much. She’s more concerned with staying under the radar as the school’s once-popular, now outcast loner freak. Until the boy she supposedly killed shows up wanting revenge.

Regardless of Kasey’s outcast status, the hot new guy in school, Aden, wants to help her figure out how to get the angry ghost to leave her alone. So what if he also wants to contact his dead brother? And why are all the ghosts suddenly following Aden around?

What better way to celebrate Emma Meade’s brand new release of End of the Line than with a giveaway.

Enjoy my 5 STAR review and enter below!

End of the Line

Now available on Amazon and Smashwords

End of the Line

In the distance, the familiar white light appeared, cutting through the dark of midnight. She’d watched it come before, but always from the sidelines, imagining what it would be like to face such a beast.

Cassie drew in a shaky breath and steeled herself. Legs splayed, arms by her sides, fists tightly clenched, she waited on the tracks as the train approached. Her legs shook, and strands of hair licked her cheeks in the gentle night’s breeze.

She swallowed the fear threatening to overcome her. Hang in there, she told herself. Another sixty seconds, and it will all be over. No more drowning, murky thoughts, heavy dreams or stilted breathing. She lifted her head and stared straight ahead, willing her body to freeze.

Closer now, but not coming fast enough. She was scared. As much as she desired to have it all over with, the fear gained ground. Could the driver see her yet? No, still too far away. Why had time slowed down? An ache began in her ankles, spreading up her legs and winding its way around her thighs and into her clenched hands.

The feel of her fingernails scraping the soft flesh of her palms roused her, just as she became aware of the vibrations on the tracks.

Cassie stumbled into the grass growing beside the tracks and ran, tears running down her cheeks. She stopped as she reached the first line of trees and leaned over, resting her hands on her thighs, trying to get her breath back.

Damn it! She wanted to die. Why couldn’t she have stuck it out?

The train thundered by, unaware of the woman hunched over in the darkness, sobbing. She raised her head to watch the carriages pass, slithering alongside Wilkins Woods like a dark snake. In thirty seconds, the night was once again silent.

She’d try tomorrow night. Maybe pick up a bottle of Jack Daniel’s after work. Might help with the nerves.

Slowly, her breathing returned to normal, and she wiped the tears away. Cassie followed the edge of the woods the mile back to her dingy flat. She let herself in and headed straight to bed. One more day. She could make it that far.

End of the Line
Cassie wants to die. When midnight rolls around, she stands on the tracks waiting for the train to come.

She loses her nerve the first couple of times but returns to try once more.

After all, third time’s the charm.
Author’s Note:

Depression is still somewhat of a taboo subject, yet it has touched most people’s lives, either personally or among family and friends. In “End of the Line” Cassie can’t make sense of her despair. All she knows is that she’s had enough.

My Review

It’s midnight and Cassie stands on the train tracks waiting for death. Here it comes. She will not jump out of the way, she won’t. Then she jumps.

Now she’ll have to come back tomorrow night and finish what she started, even if she has to use liquid courage to do so.

If she does meet death, will it be the end of the line?

What will happen if she doesn’t jump out of the way in time? If she lets the wheels of the train obliterate her existence? What if the end of the line isn’t the end?

I feel sorry for Cassie. She’s so sad, so lost. Failing each time, I wonder if she really wants to die, or if she just needs a reason to go on living? This one stuck with me for some time.

Emma takes a sensitive topic and breathes a supernatural “what if” into it. I was so captivated by the beginning, I was finished before I was ready!

I urge you to hop on this train and meet some very interesting characters. They have things to tell you.

This haunting and deep story gets Five Stars from me.

Giveaway

I have three e-book copies of this new release to giveaway!

Listen Up! Sneak Peek ?Dragonfly?

DragonFly Top Secret_530x copy

That’s right! I have some cool news.

I’ll let Charles tell ya!

Project X: DragonFly

It’s been quite awhile since I last posted. I apologize for that. The principal reason is that my new ‘Project-X’ has been extremely time consuming and blogging has taken a back seat. Last time, I said I was writing a new series but left you guessing on what its genre was. I said it wasn’t a mystery or a thriller like my Scott Forrester FBI novel, Tiger Paw. But other than that I was quite vague. So here is the first inkling of what Project-X is all about!

I’m calling it… DragonFly (and yes, the F is capitalized!)

I wouldn’t be a mystery writer if I gave out all the clues at once! This name is not the complete title of the series. If I added just one more word, it would give too much away. Yes, you’ve probably guessed that it will be a combination of science fiction and fantasy. But I can assure you there will be even more than that. Yes, it does have a dragon in it, but nothing like what you imagine a dragon to be! Yes, it has an evil wizard, but again like no other wizard I have heard of before in a fantasy work. If I’m saying that I’m trying to develop something VERY unique, in its own sci-fi & fantasy niche, then the answer is… yes, I am! (or else why do something that has been done before?)

It is a very ambitious project and because of that I’m going to need a lot of help.

DragonFly already has two very important collaborators… two artists whose talents are at the top of their respective fields. Coincidentally, they are both based in Europe. For the science fiction aspects of DragonFly, I have engaged a computer graphics artist from Spain whose code name is ‘Mr. C’. For the fantasy elements, including a very unique creature spawned from the evil mind of my wizard, I have commissioned work from a fantasy artist from Belgium who I will call ‘Mr. J’. In due time, their identities will be revealed and their work on DragonFly will be published here on my blog, on a new website I’m creating, and as illustrations in the first novel of the series.

Work on Lucifer’s Key, the sequel to Tiger Paw continues, but at a reduced pace. DragonFly is easier to write and I plan the first draft to be complete by the end of May. At that time I will go into revision mode and when ready I will be soliciting beta readers for DragonFly before it is published. Several of you have already volunteered, so I thank you in advance!

I expect the first novel in the DragonFly series to be published before Sept 1 and will have a website launch party this summer!

I’m very excited about DragonFly. As an author it has special writing challenges beyond the genre bending aspect of it, which in itself is a bit of a risk. I can also reveal that it will be written in first person from the perspective of a heroine whose quest will define the destiny of her country and will change the course of history. Be patient, you will meet her shortly!

Regards

Charles

“But it is one thing to read about dragons and another to meet them.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea

Cool isn’t it! I can’t wait for this one! Charles is a wonderful, talented writer and an all around great guy.

You’re going to want to read this book(whatever it is?)!!

Have you read Tiger Paw yet?

It will blow your mine!

Description

As a serial killer wreaks havoc on Wall Street, dismantling a corrupt financier’s empire one body at a time, FBI profiler Scott Forrester uncovers the deadly secret of a demon-worshipping Hindu cult that is determined to change the very fabric of society. Firmly in their assassin’s crosshairs, Scott Forrester is forced underground to stop the killing spree. But will he survive the deal he must make with the Devil to thwart their satanic plan?

The Tiger – a poem by William Blake

Tiger, Tiger burning bright,

In the forests of the night;

What immortal hand or eye.

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.

Burnt the fire of thine eyes?

On what wings dare he aspire?

What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,

Could twist the sinews of thy heart?

And when thy heart began to beat.

What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain,

In what furnace was thy brain?

What the anvil? what dread grasp.

Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears

And watered heaven with their tears:

Did he smile His work to see?

Did he who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger, Tiger burning bright,

In the forests of the night:

What immortal hand or eye,

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Emily’s Smashing Book Signing in Alabama!

In Emily’s own words!! Her Book Signing in Alabama!

It was a wonderful time!!!

First of all, you all know I abhor having my picture taken.

I just don’t take good pictures ever!

So, I am coming out of my comfort zone…so to speak…with these pictures.

It took 14 hours of straight driving through to arrive in St. Louis, Missouri!

I turned my radar detector on and made it in my Dodge Charger SRT8 with HEMI engine in record time.

By the way…the Charger is what my Hero, Tabbruis drives! Funny how life imitates art???

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We visited with my husband’s family and that went very well.

I don’t know if you watched “Everybody Loves Raymond” and or “Martha Stewart”…so if you didn’t, you won’t get this at all…

198551

Matt’s mom is the original “Everybody Loves Raymond/Martha Stewart” Combo Mother-in-Law.

Every meal is to die for. But it’s hard to explain how “Debra” I feel sometimes.

However, his family put up with my editing and working on my book while I was there. His family even came to Birmingham with us.

I have to say, it was very nice of his family to come and give me and Matt their support!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then we pack everything and go down to Birmingham, Alabama for the Book Expo at the Birmingham Library.

UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE…I have NEVER seen a library so big!

The Birmingham Library had two buildings, it was beautiful and airy! Just perfect!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

photo (3)

We stayed at the Tutwiler Hotel right across from the Library and it was GORGEOUS inside and out!

The room was comfortable and VERY luxurious!

I was blown away at how nice it was! If you ever need to stay in Birmingham…stay at the Tutwiler…it’s MARVELOUS!!!

And no, I’m not getting a commercial endorsement fee…haha!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The night before the Book Expo we dined at the Applebees with my family, another author Daven Anderson of “Vampire Syndrome” and my Publisher PDMI Direct, TC McKinney, his wife Nessa and his two children Wayne and Christian.

By the way, his kids are adorable!

My Publisher TC and Nessa presented me with WONDERFUL news!

PDMI, my publisher took my first three books and put them in a LIMITED EDITION GOLD BOX SET of my first three books,”Charmeine,” “Mactus,” and “Accendo.”

There will be ONLY 250 of them made. SQUEEEEEE!!!

The box set looks awesome and it came with a certificate of authenticity.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then that wasn’t enough to make my jaw fall on the floor…wait until you hear and see this.

They put all my first three books together in one paperback novel the way I originally intended it!!!

I started to cry.

You have no idea what it’s like to see your ORIGINAL NOVEL put together the way YOU WROTE IT!!

I was so happy and looked at that thick bound book novel and thought about all the work and struggle it was to have that precious book in my hands!

They even had it put together as a “Signature Edition of CHARMEINE” which means it has my signature embossed in the novel on the front cover and in the novel itself!

OH MY GOD! How wonderful!

I’m welling in tears just writing about it.

Because folks…I was just in Heaven and still am to see my “Baby” come to life the way I envisioned it to be!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am really happy in this picture, I was just recovering from crying and the shock of the GOLD EDITION novels bound together and then my ORIGINAL signature edition novel!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

photo (13)1

The next day was the Book Expo!

I was very excited and also nervous. My husband took this picture. I didn’t know he took it until I saw the pictures. Before the Expo started I had to say a prayer and THANK GOD for letting this day come.

I am not a righteous or overly religious person…no.

However, I do thank God for all I have been given and the chances I have had which most people don’t ever have.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Book Expo was great! These are some pics my husband, Matt took.

Yes folks…he is very similar in a lot of ways to Tabbruis…hubba, hubba!

The signing was fun and people in Birmingham have got to be the nicest people to be so welcoming to me and the other authors.

More pictures of signing books!

It was so much fun!

Daven Anderson Author of "Vampire Syndrome"

Met PDMI’s other Authors like I said before Daven Anderson of “Vampire Syndrome”!!!

Then this is a picture of all of PDMI’s Authors and Owners!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now it was time to visit my family and my mom.

We took Matt’s family to St. Louis and then came to Evansville, Indiana where I was born and raised.

I visited family and mom. She has Alzheimers and didn’t recognize me at all but she talked to me.

However she looked great and is being well-taken care of! She is doing awesome and keeps on being the wonderful lady she is.

I LOVED SEEING and BEING WITH HER!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Storm “NEMO” cut our visit short and we left Evansville, Indiana speeding home in my Charger to race the storm back to New Jersey!

I’m not ashamed to tell you that THANK GOD the Charger is a high performance machine because we raced her all the way home!

We made it!

But it is shovel time!!

EVERYTHING is shut down and a lot of people don’t have power or heat!

Again LONG gas lines…just like Sandy!!!

But New Jersey is tough and we didn’t get it as bad as Long Island did!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well Folks that was my wonderful trip!

It was fun and exciting!

Now, I have a book signing much more closer to home at the County College of Morris on March 4th in Randolph, New Jersey!

I am thanking God for these wonderful opportunities, AND I thank you too!

Fanged Mania #10 – Giveaway and Review of Charmeine: The Light-Bearer Series, Book I by Emily Guido (fundinmental.wordpress.com)

The Wolf’s Moon is FREE Feb 1st & 2nd!

Posted: February 1, 2013 in Adult Fiction, Book Promos, Creatures, Dark Fantasy, Freebies!, horror, otherworldly, Series
Tags: dire wolves, Horror, series, suspense

I was just over visiting Sherry on her blog fundinmental and look what she’s talking about!

The Wolf’s Moon by Patrick Jones is free for two days only – Friday, 2/1 and Saturday 2/2.

The Dire Wolves really existed and became extinct 4,000 years ago. This was an amazing story and Patrick is already working on the next book of The Linden Chronicles. To see Sherry’s full review, scroll down and click on the link.

To get your copy, go to the end of the post and click on the cover.

In “The Wolf’s Moon” (ISBN 146636016X), author Patrick Jones creates a spellbinding tale of an ancient animal that haunts the foothill towns of Missouri’s Ozark Mountains. An unknown group of scientists has genetically engineered a Dire Wolf into the present day. Allegedly extinct, the ferocious beast preys upon the innocent people of Maple Hills.

To hunt and kill the beast, the town folk will have to rely on the tracking feats of Mark Lansdowne. He is a reluctant hero, still mourning the loss of his wife to illness. Relying on his rescue dogs and indefatigable hunting skills, Mark will set out on foot in search of the mysterious beast. Yet the hunter’s personal history and romantic entanglements will come back to haunt him during his search for the vicious animal.

Accompanying him on the hunt is his pal Warren Skruggs, who knew Mark when he was known as Michael Linden, a chapter of his history that he prefer be kept to the past. Adding to the intrigue are two beautiful, intelligent women who aid the hunter in his quest. Their looks and smarts would make the Bond Girls envious but Mark is still a grieving widower, unsure of how to move forward.

With its mixture of high-stakes hunting and personal and romantic intrigue, “The Wolf’s Moon” is a page-turner that will keep the reader captivated with its unexpected story twists. The thriller suspense novel is a real story grounded in the life and folkways of the Ozark Mountains not just another unbelievable werewolf story grafted onto the romance of the South.

About the author

Patrick Jones

Pat Jones was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. His special interests include the science of paleoanthropology and archaeology.

Woodworking is one of his favorite hobbies, with special emphasis on the unique grains and textures of various species of trees. He and his wife, Sandy, thrive on designing and creating a flower garden of perennials, second to none! Constantly evolving, the garden began as a way that he could surprise his wife on her birthday. The rest is history! The garden now spans one fourth of an acre!

When their children graduated from school, the couple relocated to rural Missouri where they now reside with their four dogs. The love of the area, in combination with the uniqueness of the people, provided the impedance for “The Wolf’s Moon”.

The sequel to “The Wolf’s Moon” is already in the works and proves to be yet another suspenseful page-turner! Pat believes that there is a story in everything. Everybody that he meets has their own special story; one simply has to take the time to listen. The story then writes itself.

I’ve finished this book and will be posting my review soon.

Book Description:

Lucy Donovan was supposed to have a weekend of fun in the sun, celebrating her upcoming graduation from college. In a split second, everything changed. A drunk driver ended Lucy’s mortal life. Lucy opens her eyes to a world she never imagined possible and a new destiny: as a Patronus, a guardian of spirits. Adjusting to her new role and abilities while negotiating this confusing realm will test her limits and push her further than she ever dreamed she would go. From wayward spirits who don’t want her help to soul stealing vampires, and even a stuck-up British royal, Lucy must brave them all to save one spirit she can’t bear to lose. Further complicating her confusing life is an inexplicable yet growing connection she feels to a member of her team, Max, whose mysterious behavior leaves her both confused and intrigued. Waking up dead was just the beginning of her problems. Lucy’s death is about to become the greatest adventure of her life.

About the Author

I started my obsession with reading at an early age, getting in trouble for sneaking BabySitter Club and Nancy Drew books into math class in elementary school. I would read any fiction book I could get my hands on. I knew it was an addiction when instead of grounding me from TV or music, my mom would take away my books as punishment (The Horror!). My love of all things paranormal was inspired by my good friend Laurie, who convinced me that books with vampires, witches, and all things shifter were amazing. After a little reluctance, I gave it a shot with the Sookie Stackhouse books, realized she was right, and the rest was history.
I grew up in Pittsburgh, graduated from The University of Pittsburgh with my degree in English, and taught 8th graders to love reading as much as I do for several years. I will always be a proud member of the Steelers Nation, but I couldn’t take the cold and moved my frozen tush to Florida where I now live with my family and two cats. You will find me now with my trusty Kindle in hand and toes in the sand!

Book Blast: Just Breathe by Kendall Grey

He made a deal with the devil to save the woman he loves…

After a terrible accident rocks the foundation of their relationship, Australian Sentinel Gavin Cassidy and whale biologist Zoe Morgan call it quits. Gavin can’t forgive himself for shattering her trust, and being with the sexy rock star is killing Zoe. Literally.

But love—and duty—are powerful motivators, and alliances are forged in the most unlikely places. With the key to salvation locked inside the mind of an unconscious child, Gavin must find another way to snuff out the Fyre Elementals before millions of humans die, or make good on his deal with the devil and lose the one he loves. Again.

Today is the book blast for Just Breathe by Kendall Grey. I’m reading Inhale right now and then it’s on to Exhale. I’ll be doing my reviews in February.

Word diddler and whale warrior, Kendall was born without an off-switch between her brain and mouth. She’s been called the “Flux Capacitor of Twitter” and “A little package of love all wrapped up in F-word paper,” but she’s really just a maniacal writer relaying eyewitness accounts of the rave inside her head. She writes urban fantasy romance and dabbles in erotica and horror on occasion. Kendall lives off a dirt road near Atlanta, Georgia, but don’t hold that against her.
