Interview with C.M. Michaels

What do you think you’re really good at? As far as writing is concerned my books are fast-paced and keep the reader engaged. And while both Dangerous Waters and Kerrigan’s  Race feature strong romantic elements , they are about more than just your typical “boy-meets-girl” forbidden romance love story that so much of the genre focuses on.  The supporting characters have equally important roles to play in advancing the central plot. I also like to keep my central characters in the dark about key elements that will unfold rather than having the supernatural creatures have all the answers and the ignorant human being the one who is educated along with the reader. The main characters initial theories and assumptions are often totally off base, and in a lot of cases the reader may figure out what’s really going on before they do. 
What do you think you’re really bad at? Again sticking with writing (I’m sure my wife would be thrilled to field this question, otherwise), I have already seen a great deal of growth in my writing since my first novel. I now write with a stronger narrative voice, and I’m getting better at adding more color and flair to my prose. But these are still focus areas for me. I will be the first to admit that I have a lot to learn as a writer. I love to study my favorite author’s novels as I read to pick up on techniques and further hone my own style.
Is your life anything like it was two years ago? A lot of things are the same. We still live in the same house and have our same spoiled dog (Sophie). I still work for the same company for my day job as well. But the last year has certainly been a whirlwind as I prepared for the launch of my first novel, Dangerous Waters, on September 5th.  Between the editing process, building up my social media sites, creating the theatrical trailer and cover art, totally overhauling my website and putting together a book signing tour it has been a very busy year.
Do you have any phobias? I’m not great with heights unless I’m within a building. When my brothers all started using climbing tree stands for hunting several years ago I was more than reluctant to join them. I caved in the end, but my “maximum height” is about half of theirs. I’m also a bit compulsive about checking to make sure the garage door is down when we leave and that the stove is turned off, but not to the point where it’s a full blown OCD or anything.

BOOK BLURB: 
The latest victim in a rash of abductions near campus, Emily is brutally attacked before being rescued by a powerful new friend. She survives the ordeal, only to find herself held captive and presented with an impossible choice.
While preparing for the unimaginable life she must now embrace clues soon emerge that Emily may not be entirely human, and her physical transformation awakens goddess-like powers that her new family cannot begin to explain.
Dealing with her human first love, the not-so-platonic relationship with her coven “sister,” and her new vampire sort-of-boyfriend further complicates matters, not to mention being secretly hunted by the psychopaths who attacked her. And as the only known offspring of a once all-powerful race, the climactic battle is only the beginning of her journey.

Interview with Tawdra Kandle

Can you give us a brief overview of your latest book? Is it part of a series?UNDENIABLE is the story of Rafe Brooks. He’s just graduated from high school, and he’s trying to recover from a broken heart. He goes a little nuts, running from the pain, until he meets Joss, who gives him the chance to use his abilities—Rafe can manipulate minds—for the greater good. He goes to work for an organization that links those who have extraordinary powers with clients who need them. Things become a little intense, though, when Rafe and Joss go undercover with a group that’s planning to incite nationwide anarchy. UNDENIABLE is the first book in  The Serendipity Duet, a spin-off of The King Series.
Do you have a favorite character? Rafe has been one of my favorite characters since he strolled into BREATHLESS. He’s complicated and conflicted, but not in an angsty-way—Rafe is kind of in-your-face. I love that even though he’s terminally sexy and little bit of a bad boy, he’s also a gentleman and he loves his grandmother.
Have you ever had a minor character evolve into a major one? Did that change the direction of the novel at all? Uh, yes. Rafe was not meant to go beyond one or two books, and now he has his own book. Same with Nell, whose story will be told in UNQUENCHABLE.  And it also happened with two characters in my NA contemporary romance, Best Served Cold. Clearly writing a stand-alone novel is not something I can do.
What is your writing process? Do you listen to music or do you like silence? Silence is a rarity in my world, and honestly, it makes me nervous. Sometimes I have music, either just around me or via earbuds, and sometimes I have the television on, just as background noise. My process is just to sit down and write, as much as I can, as often as I can.
Do you outline your story or just go where your muse takes you? When I begin a book, I jot down notes, including character names and any pertinent info. I do a rough synopsis. But more often than not, things change a little as I go along.
Do you find it difficult to juggle your time between marketing your current book and writing your next book? Absolutely. I usually go directly from writing into marketing and writing the next book. There’s no break, or not a long one, anyway. I try to balance it so I can do both.
What advice would you give a new author just entering into the self-publishing arena? Don’t be afraid to find a few seasoned authors and ask questions, and as you do, be open to their advice. Be gracious at all times, whether you are the one needing help or the one giving it. And always pay it back by helping those coming up behind you, once you’re the one in the know. Also, start your social media as early as possible, make connections and form relationships.
Besides writing, do you have any other passions? I love to talk about the publishing process and the importance of marketing and branding. I enjoy traveling. . .and I’m a homeschooler, so I can go on for hours about that topic, too.
What kinds of marketing [twitter, facebook, blog, forums] are you involved with for promoting your book(s)? I have a website, I’m active on Facebook and Twitter. . .I am on Google+ and Tumblr, too. I also have a newsletter for my fans, where they can receive updates and special previews ahead of the rest of the world.
What’s next for you? I’m already knee-deep in UNQUENCHABLE, The Serendipity Duet Book Two. After that, I’ll be working on JUST DESSERTS, the second book in The Perfect Dish Duo (sequel to BEST SERVED COLD). And then I hope to delve into the Recipe for Death series, an adult paramystery series. . .and then at least one more book in the Crystal Cove series. 2014 is going to be quite busy.

Book & Author Details:
Carnelian by B. Kristin McMichael
(Chalcedony Chronicles #1)
Publication date: January 10th 2014
Genres: Time-Travel, Young Adult
Synopsis:Everyone has a past, but for most it isn’t so far in the past as Seth Sangre. His past is literally from thousands of years ago. Seth’s past led him to the present seeking something that might help him save his country from destruction. He has been in the present for over three years now and just found exactly what he has been looking for.

Mari had dreams of college being a fresh start, one where she would start over and not fall for the good looking player like high school. Unfortunately for her that’s exactly what ends up falling into her lap on the first day she moves into the dorms. Now she has to hold to her promise to herself and not fall for the handsome Seth. But he doesn’t plan to make it easy for her. Seth has already marked her as his next conquest. As the semester progresses, Mari learns that Seth might just have a past of his own that’s literally in the past. Suddenly Mari finds her future along with her past put into question. She’s connected to Seth far more than she ever wanted to be and maybe the player isn’t who she thought he was. If Mari can trust her heart enough to follow him, Seth will lead Mari on an adventure of a lifetime and reveal family secrets she never knew existed.

Carnelian centers around Seth and Mari. They are meant to be together according got Seth, but Mari is not exactly falling for the cute guy just because he says that. Instead she overheads that she is to be number twenty-four on his list of conquests and decides to pass on his attempts to woo her, but that is easier said than done as Seth doesn't plan to make it easy for her.
EXCERPTS:After Mari and Seth decide to be friends, Seth still hints at wanting more:
“I know for some reason you won’t believe me, but I’m completely serious about you, Mari,” Seth began. “If my only way into your life at this point is as your friend, then that’s what I’ll be, but just know that what I really want is more than that. I’ve been searching for years for you.”
“You don’t even know me,” I retorted, trying my best to move the conversation to something else.
“I know all I need to know about you. You are the girl I’ve been searching for. Now I just need to convince you that maybe, just maybe, I’m the guy for you.” Seth grinned like he was accepting the challenge. “Just know that I’m not giving up on you.” And before I could reply, he leaned down and kissed my forehead before turning and strolling away, leaving me speechless before the open doorway.
I marched into my room and slammed the door. Seth Sangre was good. I could still feel the tingles from where he had kissed me. Heck, I could still feel his hands around my waist as he caught me from falling. He was such a puzzle to me now. He’d been nothing but a gentleman all night. In fact, he only kissed me on the forehead when I was standing there shocked, even though he could have kissed me on the lips. I probably wouldn’t have even pushed him away if he had tried. He was a riddle to me, filled with secrets, yet when he said he would protect me, I knew he was telling the truth. Most players I’d known in high school would never go that far for a girl, even just to impress them. Seth was turning out to not be the person I thought he was, but even so, there was no way to be sure. If I said yes and went out with him, and he turned out to just be the normal, player jerk, I’d be the one with a broken heart.
And as the story progress Seth makes it harder for Mari to refuse:
“I don’t need luck. I know you feel it, too. There’s something between us, whether you want to admit it or not, and I intend to make you mine. Don’t forget that when you go hugging other guys.” My mouth dropped open, and he pushed it shut with one feather light finger. Seth Sangre had more confidence than every guy I had ever met combined. He leaned even closer with his face only a breath away from mine. I glanced at his lips. He was too close. He was close enough to kiss, and yes, I did want to find out what it would be like to kiss him.
“You’ll be mine soon,” he said with a sparkle in his dark eyes.
I spun around him, past his arm that had just been touching my face, quickly before he could kiss me as I wouldn’t be able to refuse him with the tingles growing throughout my body.
“We’ll have to wait and see about that,” I called back to him as I hurried away and back to my table with Ty and Sim. I couldn’t help but glance back to the shadow. He stood in the dark, but I could still see him. He almost glowed slightly. His smile was brilliant as he chuckled at me making my way away from him. Something was really different with Seth Sangre, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to know what it was.

Book Tour Blast: ALMOST BAD BOYS series by A. O. Peart

Book & Author Details:
Almost Bad Boy series by A.O. Peart
Genres: Comedy, Contemporary, New Adult,
Synopsis of book 1 (Almost Matched):Would you take another shot at love? Or just settle on a friend with benefits?

THEIR HEARTBREAKING PAST WILL MOVE YOU. THEIR PASSION WILL MAKE YOU BLUSH. THEIR ANTICS WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH OUT LOUD.

Twenty-five-year-old Natalie Davenport lugs substantial baggage. One boyfriend after the next has been a total disaster, leaving Natalie distrustful toward the male population in general. So when Colin Hampton crosses her path, she’s cautious. Her heart (and some other body parts!) nudges her to go for it, while her head wants her to run for the hills.

Colin is one of those gorgeous guys who attract women, no matter the age or marital status. With a successful career at a popular Seattle radio station, hard body, and charming personality, he is the complete package. But something dark lurks in the corners of his soul; some murky experience that has changed him—maybe for the better, but maybe for the worse.

Will he steal her heart and stomp over it like other guys did?

Will she let him into her heavily fortified world despite herself?

Or will they settle somewhere in the middle—establishing the emotional boundaries to protect them from falling in love? [image error]
Synopsis of book 2 (Almost Broken Up):How far would you go to protect the one you love?

Edge-of-the-seat suspense and zany wit are key elements of this comedy-mystery that combines crime and mayhem with romance and humor.

The terrors of Colin’s past are revealed and accepted by Natalie. Her doubts about letting him into her life are finally disbanded and replaced by a sense of security and commitment. But Natalie doesn’t know that Colin’s past hides more dark secrets unknown even to him.

When a delusional psychopath threatens Colin’s life, things quickly become complicated. Natalie’s stubborn character and desire to kick ass won’t let her step aside and allow the authorities to handle the danger. She gets herself tangled up with street hoodlums, befriends a Russian mobster’s high-maintenance girlfriend, and becomes expert at picking locks and hiding evidence.

****************************************************************
This contemporary romantic comedy blends humor, sensuality, and angst, with zany characters and witty dialogue.

***Warning: contains sexual situations (some quite vivid!), profanity, and a high dose of sarcasm. Oh, and there is a lot of appletini and beer drinking.
May not be appropriate for readers under 18 years old. Not intended for prudes and killjoys with no sense of humor***
SHORT EXCERPT: Colin's POV:I don’t know how long I stand in the shower. Hot water burns my skin, evoking red splotches all over me. But I welcome the sensation, because it lets me concentrate on something other than Faith’s death. I put my palms on the wall and hang my head down under the water. I watch the water run down the drain by my feet. Someone pounds on the door again, but I ignore it. Maybe the same girl as before? Or maybe another girl. I don’t care, because the only girl that I want to see now is dead.
Natalie's POV:What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. This is such bullshit. If something is about to kill you, it will scar you for life. There is no strength coming from terrifying experiences. Maybe that saying should be more specific and read something like What seriously kicks your ass makes you stronger. Yeah, that makes more sense.
