BLURB:  

Twenty-three year old Dimitri has to do what he is told—literally. Controlled by a paranormal bond, he is forced to use his wits to fulfill unlimited deadly wishes made by multimillionaire Karl Walker.

Dimitri has no idea how his family line became trapped in the genie bond. He just knows resisting has never ended well. When he meets Syd—assertive, sexy, intelligent Syd—he becomes determined to make her his own. Except Karl has ensured Dimitri can’t tell anyone about the bond, and Syd isn’t the type to tolerate secrets.

Then Karl starts sending him away on back-to-back wishes. Unable to balance love and lies, Dimitri sets out to uncover Karl’s ultimate plan and put it to an end. But doing so forces him to confront the one wish he never saw coming—the wish that will destroy him.

Summoned is represented by Rossano Trentin of TZLA.

Author Tara Brown

Tara-Brown

I am not going to talk in the third person. It feels weird. I am a Bestselling author of Contemporary and Paranormal Romance but my true passion is my Post Apocalyptic and Fantasy novels. I write a lot of books and jump Genres a lot. Mostly because I think I have Writers ADD, I like to call it WADD. It might be a real thing. I write New Adult, my books have sexual content (Heck yes) and Swearing. You have been warned. Now enjoy! I have a beagle named Buster, a husband who I force to read everything I write and two girls who want so badly to be a character in my books. And not in that order. I am mid thirties so be prepared for the chick lit novel this year. I am calling it my Ode to my Midlife Crisis. I have been writing since I was old enough to lie. So for some time. Welcome to my world. Please enjoy the ride.

TOP SECRET File being opened ~ Dragonfly is taking flight

Posted: March 1, 2014 in Book Promos, New Release, otherworldly
Tags: , ,

I finally get to show you this top secret file!

Dragonfly by Charles A. Cornell is scheduled to take flight on Sunday, March 2nd and all of you can book a seat!

It will be available for purchase and everyone can enter this dieselpunk world.

I was a beta reader for Dragonfly and had a thrilling time being a part of this project. Unlike anything I’ve read before!

For your viewing pleasure I have the three cover designs for this adventure to show you.

*

Charles will be publishing the story three ways:
1) Part I – the first half of the book with a few illustrations… ebook price will be $1.99 but regularly discounted to $0.99 or Free!

DF-Part-I-To-Hell_Internal

*
2) Part II – the second half with a few more photos… Price $2.99
*
DF-Part-II-Victory_Internal
.
.

*

3) DragonFly (The Illustrated Edition)… Parts I & II with 30 color and 30 B&W illustrations… introductory price of $4.99

DF-Main-Book-Cover_Internal

.
.
So the best deal is to buy DragonFly fully illustrated after receiving Part I for free to try it out.
Sunday March 2 is Launch Day for all of them to be published and for his new website launch. Charles will be blitzing all the social media so your support is much appreciated to share, retweet, etc. He’ll be on Facebook and Twitter and has DragonFly boards on Pinterest. And he plans to serialize Part I on Wattpad.
.
A brief Description I’m allowed to reveal!
.
RAF pilot Veronica Somerset has the destiny of her nation in her hands. She’s young, vulnerable and all woman. But inside the cockpit of DragonFly… a plane designed by science and fueled by magic… she’s a hard-nosed, quick-thinking daredevil who has all the right stuff. Strap yourself in for a wild ride in award-winning author Charles A. Cornell’s dieselpunk adventure, DragonFly: a World War re-imagined like never before.
~~~
.
So there you have it folks. Mark your calendar and be sure to grab your copy!
I’ve provided the Amazon purchase links and will add more links as they become available.
Also, I have the link to Charles new website just for Dragonfly and information on how to request your illustrated copy for reviewing!
.
Anyone who would like a copy of the fully illustrated Dragonfly (must be willing to post reviews on Amazon & GoodReads) can send Charles a note with the email address that he will need to use to ‘gift’ you a copy to ARC(at)Dragonfly(Dash)Novels(dot)com.
Also there will be a signup box for this email account on the new website, so hop on over and take a look around there too and signup right there. The website will come ‘live’ at 12 noon. http://www.dragonfly-novels.com/
And  Charles will be ‘blogging’ on Facebook and Twitter all day and would love questions! Let’s get a conversation going!

A safe way to be struck by lightning.

STRUCK

Paranormal Gothic Horror

by Clarissa Johal

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

BLURB

The shadows hadn’t been waiting.

The shadows had been invited.

After a painful breakup, Gwynneth Reese moves in with her best friend and takes a job at a retirement home. She grows especially close to one resident, who dies alone the night of a terrific storm. On the way home from paying her last respects, Gwynneth is caught in another storm and is struck by lightning. She wakes in the hospital with a vague memory of being rescued by a mysterious stranger. Following her release from the hospital, the stranger visits her at will and offers Gwynneth a gift–one that will stay the hands of death. Gwynneth is uncertain whether Julian is a savior or something more sinister… for as he shares more and more of this gift, his price becomes more and more deadly.

~~~~~~

Struck_CoverBanner

 

Check out this peek inside Struck 

 

A loud ‘crack’ sounded and an iridescent white light surrounded her. Two things registered: a searing pain that ripped down her back and the ground which seemed to be pulled away from her at an alarming speed.

* * * *

Blackness.

Pain shot through the back of Gwynneth’s head as she opened her eyes. Somebody was standing over her. She tried to focus on the face, but it hurt too much. A cool hand slid across her forehead. She opened her eyes again.

Pale, almost white eyes. High cheekbones, aquiline nose, and a well-shaped mouth. Long, white hair. Ageless. Beautiful, like a Michelangelo. All of those details registered with clarity before agony ripped through her body. She arched her back and cried out. The man murmured something into her ear which she couldn’t understand. She could feel the vibration of his voice and his breath on her neck as he gathered her in his arms. She opened her eyes and saw lightning fork to the ground silently behind him. She blacked out again.

Synopsis
.
Scientists are the new rock stars. The infection has been contained for nearly three months, and the world is celebrating. But humans are still dying. Rebekah Taylor has seen it firsthand. Her husband was killed right in front of her by the very creatures that humans were told they no longer had to fear.
Rebekah is determined to find out who is responsible for the death of her husband and the obvious cover-up. Fueled with revenge, she begins to find answers that lead to one frightening conclusion. The apocalypse might be over, but the battles are just beginning.

A peek inside Recruitz
.

I gripped the console as I watched the twitches and spasms of the zombies’ movements closing in on us. They were everywhere…the grass, the sidewalk, the driveway. There was no mistaking the rotting, grey flesh that exposed the muscle and bone of the undead. They were something I’d run from countless times, but this time we had nowhere to run. The undead had us trapped. They would rip us to shreds in an instant.

“I think some of ‘em are new,” I said, turning my attention back to Gavin.

There were some clean-looking zombies staggering toward us, their flesh mostly intact. That made no sense. The outbreak had been contained for months. There should be no freshly infected roaming around. Everyone had been vaccinated. The only stragglers evading capture had been around awhile, so their bodies were beat up badly by the time they were caught. Not these.

“Let’s hope not,” he murmured, not bothering to look out the window to confirm nor deny my suspicions.

“We can’t run. They’d totally get us before we got away,” I said, hoping he’d correct me, tell me that we had a chance.

He didn’t.

He slammed his fist into the steering wheel and looked over at me. When the outbreak happened, we never looked back. We were always on the move, running from the disease that took our families and friends. That was the key to survival. Never stay in one place. Always stay on the move. Now we had nowhere to move. I glanced over at Gavin and saw the fear in his eyes. Even with everything we’d encountered, his eyes had never held this amount of terror.

“Babe, whatever happens…”

“Knock it off,” I said.

“We have nothing to fight them with, and a horde this size needs a distraction.”

“Don’t you dare,” I hissed, shaking my head. The fear was pulsing through me at an unstoppable rate. “We didn’t live through the outbreak

In 1346, Princess Ophelia Dacre sneaks out of the castle to visit her  boyfriend in secret. A perfect night cut short when she’s brutally  murdered.

Excerpt

                 “The scroll chose you. For whatever reason, she’s your reap.”

                “Well, that sucks.” Leila chewed her  bottom lip. “If I don’t do it?”

                Edon hesitated before he said, “Her  soul will rot inside her body. Do you have any idea what that’s like? She’ll be  a living corpse, a shell of a person. She won’t feel anything including love. We  as reapers, the undead, feel more than she ever will alive.”

                Leila swallowed the lump in her  throat. “How do you know that?”

                “Because I’ve seen what it does to a  person,” Edon said. “That little girl deserves better.”

Blurb

The last thing eighteen-year-old Ann Leigh remembers is running from her boyfriend in a thick Nebraska cornfield. This morning she’s staring down a cool Italian sunrise, an entire continent from the life she once knew. The events of the eighteen months in between have inexplicably gone missing from her memory.

All at once she’s living with Tommy, an attractive, young foreigner asking for her continued love. Though he’s vaguely familiar, she recalls a boy named Shane in America who she reluctantly agreed to marry. Juggling a new world while her old one is still M.I.A is difficult enough without the terrifying movie scenes spinning a dizzy loop in her mind: glimpses of a devastating house fire, a romance gone wrong, an unplanned pregnancy, and a fractured family – each claiming to be part of who she once was – a girl and a past somehow discarded.

Ann Leigh must collect the pieces of herself to become whole again, but she doesn’t know who to trust especially when Tommy’s lies become too obvious to ignore. And above all, her heart aches to discover what became of the child she may or may not have given birth to.

The Making of Nebraska Brown tells the story of one girl’s coming apart from the inside and the great lengths she’ll go to reclaim herself and find her way home.

Excerpt

 “Where am I, exactly? I mean . . . what is this place?”

He smiled. “The Palace of Portici.”

“A palace?” I squinted, then flipped the hair off of my face.  I was Ann Leigh, wasn’t I? Ann Leigh, strawberry blonde, five-foot-four, dreadfully allergic to cats. I grabbed the ends of my hair again and looked down at it. It wasn’t yellow-red at all but more like brown butter pecan. My head hummed. Martino was still grinning, as if he was more amused by me now that he was sure I wasn’t dead.

 He spoke again. “Orto Botanico.” “Botanical garden?”

“Si, yes. Ana, ora andiamo? La Pasticceria Tartoni?”

“Yes. We’ll go to the pastry shop now.” And I went with him. Even though, for all I knew, he could have been one of those freaks who got his jollies from attacking innocent young girls. But then, for all I knew, I wasn’t an innocent young girl.

The sky in Campania, Italy, looked familiar; the clouds were funny cotton ball shapes that could be giant sheep— pecore? If I were Ann Leigh from Nebraska, then how did I know those clouds, those words?

About The Author:

NB author pic

                        As a young girl who spent her allowance on Nancy Drew mysteries, Louise realized that one day, she might have a story of her own to tell. Maybe even more than one story. After years focused on raising her children she eventually reconnected with her passion for creative writing. She soon began to craft a large collection of short stories which were published in the inspirational online magazine, Faithhopeandfiction.com. Shortly thereafter, she authored her first novel, Wishless, a contemporary YA, released in 2011.

Louise devotes a portion of each day to honing her skills. She has several other novels currently in various stages of development. A confirmed bibliophile, Louise enjoys reading outdoors on a warm spring day and watching her pup chase leaves on a breeze. She looks forward to meeting others who share her love of the written word and invites you to visit her blog, her website and follow her on Twitter and Facebook

I also post reviews on another blog aknifeandaquill . It’s all about horror. If someone doesn’t die, we don’t do it here!

Here’s some I picked up to review on both blogs. Double exposure for the author:)

Not adding any more until I catch up on my reviews!

Book Description:

.
Joe Knowe sees things before they happen. Bad things. Just a couple months ago it was a psychopath planning a massacre at the college she attended. Now, she’s facing a whole different kind of madman, and one potentially far more dangerous.
To keep the pending disaster from happening, this time Joe will have to get up close and personal, making herself at home in the lion’s den, and attempting not to be swallowed whole.
Will she be able to keep herself and those around her from drinking the Kool-Aid? Or will they all end up under white sheets? In this second installment of the thrilling JOE series, H. D. Gordon takes you into the heart of a cult, the mind of its leader, and the lives of his followers.
