Lovers in Hell

Only fools fall in love, and hell is filled with fools.

Lovers in Hell

A Heroes in Hell Anthology

created by Janet Morris

Genre: Dark Fantasy Anthology

Only fools fall in love, and hell is filled with fools. Our
damned lovers include: Christopher Marlowe and Will Shakespeare, Napoleon and
Wellington, Orpheus and Eurydice, Hatshepsut and Senenmut, Abelard and Heloise,
Helen and Penelope, Saint Teresa and Satan’s Reaper, Madge Kendall and the
Elephant Man, and more . . . — all of whom pay a hellish price for indulging
their affections.

Shakespeare said “To be wise and love exceeds man’s might,” and in
Lovers in Hell, the damned in hell exceed all bounds as they search for their
true loves, punish the perfidious, and avoid getting caught up in Satan’s
snares. In ten stories of misery and madness, hell’s most loveless seek to
slake the thirst that can never be quenched, and find true love amid the lies
of ages.

Includes:

Never Doubt I Love – Janet Morris and Chris Morris

Love Interrupted –  Nancy Asire

Lovers Sans Phalli – S. E. Lindberg

THE ART TO ONLINE DATING

This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.


A step-by-step guide to navigating dating and finding love on the World Wide Web, written by someone with firsthand experience on the topic, and who has also tested the theory on a number of case studies and through research. Authored from a female perspective, directed to a female audience, although potentially an eye opening and helpful read for a male reader too.


This book is not about making you a better person, nor is it a self help book. It is about changing your mindset when embarking on singledom and internet dating to not fear it, by equipping you with the understanding of people’s actions and motives.


Throughout the book you will be guided in setting up your online profile, picking your match, the all important art and the do’s and don’ts through every step of courting someone, all the way to going forward with your ultimate love match!


Reading this book will bring you confidence and or at least clarity. It will make you think about your past experiences and open your eyes to see where they may have gone wrong, and more importantly to ensure the same mistakes don’t happen to you on future experiences.


Read an Excerpt

Long gone are the days of meeting a potential partner in a bar or at a music festival or at parties. You might be lucky enough to do so, but as time goes on and you get older, or as you and your potentials rely more on technology to meet someone, or as you lose the skills to do so by becoming accustomed to technology, the chances are getting thinner. There will be fewer parties with fewer single people, or there will be more awkward interactions at these parties, or your friends will grow old and become tired of attending music festivals and going to bars. Also, let’s face it: as we get older, the music at venues become too loud and we simply just want to have a good conversation, good food, and good wine which brings on more occasions like dinner events and dinner parties. These are the least likely type of events to meet someone, unless you are lucky enough to be set up by a mutual friend.

So, you might find yourself single and at a loss. Maybe it simply might be that all your friends are in relationships and you have no one to go out with. This is where online dating comes into play. Online dating has such a bad stigma, but if you look at it at another way, whilst your friends are becoming old and boring or are in relationships and/or just don’t want to go out anymore for whatever reason, you have an infinite number of potential new people to meet and play with who are in the exact same boat as you.

About the Author: I successfully found love online using historical principles, understanding people’s motives and actions, listening to the right people, as well as trusting my own instincts. I am now married and a mother. I am a business woman with a very successful business, built from extensive networking and relationship management experience. I have received professional mentoring and coaching, which has helped me achieve all of this.

Overlord

Power comes with a price.

 

Overlord

The Price of Talent Book 4

by AK Nevermore

Genre: Spicy Dystopian SciFi Romance

 

  

On an alternate earth, a cataclysm has altered a subset of
the population. Talents are persecuted for their psychic and physical
mutations, giving rise to two conflicting societies based upon maintaining
genetic purity. And the Source, a shadowy corporate entity dependent upon the
exploitation of captive Talents, is hunting them…

Chaos rules the city of Glynfyls.

And all Flynn Scot can do is watch. With the hill frozen in
the shadow of the coming Incursion, and the commons giving into a bacchanal
madness, the city’s chances of survival are dire. His hands tied by mandates,
in order to do what he knows is right and give them a fighting chance, Flynn
will have to risk everything by doing wrong.

Meanwhile, Kara can’t hide her declining health.

The Triam’s location remains elusive, and the window to get
the treatment she needs is closing. Unwilling to give in, or idly await her
fate, she hatches a daring plan to help save the city, even if it ends up
destroying her politically.

Because Titus’s army is marching closer to Glynfyls, and
they’re not alone.

With them comes a monster that threatens not only the city,
but the entire Breaker hierarchy. As the world watches on tenterhooks, Flynn
and Kara race against the clock to save their people, but there’s no guarantee
they can save themselves.

The Vampire Impresario Book 2

by J.B. Warrick

Genre: M/M LGBTQ Paranormal Romance

Two rival opera singers. One vampire, one human. Both running from the past.

Oscar Acosta’s abusive ex-boyfriend is dead, and his
old vampire coven is gone. Now all he cares about is winning a coveted spot
with the prestigious local opera company. His stiffest competition is Trent, an
adorable fellow grad student with a linebacker’s build who he is
definitely not crushing on.

When Oscar’s ex turns out to be not-so-deceased, sending several vampires to kidnap him, Oscar
is forced to reveal his own vampire identity to his classmate. Can he trust
Trent or should he keep him at a safe distance?

Trent Erickson is on his own with no safety net. He
doesn’t have time for partying, especially not with a privileged trust fund
nepo baby like Oscar. Trent’s not going to let some rich flake steal his star
spot onstage, even if the guy stirs up feelings in him that he doesn’t
understand.

But when he witnesses three savage vamps attacking Oscar, Trent’s own hidden history rears
its ugly head. After all, he knows more about fighting vampires than any human
should.

The Baritone’s Rival is a 60,000-word rivals to lovers, bi-awakening, fated mates
vampire romance with a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger. It contains an
ambitious opera singer and the closed-off vampire who falls for him in spite of

vampire story. It is a standalone novel in an interconnected series. Not

The Tenor’s Shadow

The Vampire Impresario Book 1

One temperamental opera singer. One vampire bodyguard. Let the sparks and secrets
fly.

Anthony wouldn’t let anything stand in his way.

His career as an
operatic tenor was finally taking off, and he would be damned if he let some
stalker keep him from his globe-hopping musical dreams. But he had made the
mistake of telling his uncle about the threatening letters the creep had been
leaving in his hotel room.

Now he was
saddled with a muscle-bound bodyguard who was seriously cramping his love life,
even if the guy did have a swoony accent and the perfect number of freckles. No
matter what Anthony did, he couldn’t get rid of the stubborn redheaded Brit.
Freddie just didn’t fit in with his glamorous life of encores and galas and
schmoozing. And how did the man never sleep?

Freddie was there to do a job.

Or maybe a few.
He had been content as head of security for the Hughes vampire coven in London.
But now he’d been sent to America to keep his coven master’s nephew safe from
the threat of a rival coven. He knew the rules. Anthony couldn’t find out about
the existence of vampires, and he certainly couldn’t find out that
Freddie was one. Plus, he had to manage Anthony’s demanding
personality, and Freddie was painfully bad with people. And he absolutely
one-hundred-percent had to keep himself from hooking up with the overbearing
American.

When friction erupts into steamy passion, can Freddie and Anthony forge a
relationship together? Or will Freddie’s secrets and the deadly vampires of the
Azarian coven tear them apart?

The Tenor’s Shadow is a 50,000-word MM vampire romance with a guaranteed HEA and no
cliffhanger. It contains a strong-but-silent vampire bodyguard and the high
strung opera singer that falls fast for him. It also contains steamy scenes and
the violence you might expect from a vampire story. Not suitable for readers
under 18.

LINE OF SIGHT

LINE OF SIGHT
Paul G. Wright

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

GENRE: Mystery

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

BLURB:

It is 1995, and intelligence operative Lora Chandler, a.k.a. Agent Vogel, is tasked with investigating the claim that Professor Simon Blackmarr has cracked the invisibility problem. A mission that leads her back to the half-forgotten beach town of Lancaster, Florida. Home to estranged love interest, and newspaper reporter Richard Davis. Her feelings for him have never really died, and matters become even more complicated when Vogel learns that Blackmarr’s breakthrough is legitimate. A scientific discovery that —in the wrong hands — could alter the balance of global power. The stakes become even higher when the professor is abducted from the university, forcing Vogel back into the shadowy realm of espionage to find out who and why. It will take all the skill and cunning Lora Chandler possesses to stop a threat that could have devastating consequences for her personal life — and the world at large.

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

EXCERPT

The file lay in easy reach, on the conference table. The letters LMAR printed across the front. In another moment she would have it. She reached out.

“I think not.”

Mason. He was like a cat, with more lives.

“You think wrong,” said Vogel.

Mason’s hand slammed down on the folder, inches from hers. Their eyes met—his with that same arrogant smirk she’d seen a hundred times before, his dark hair perfectly in place. As always, he was impeccably dressed, his wine-red tie in a flawless knot. Vogel couldn’t deny it—under different circumstances, she might . . . But no, he was an international criminal and a murderer. And he kissed like a college freshman. The lines were drawn.

Mason looked at her through steely eyes. “Vogel,” he said coolly, “why do we always seem to have this same discussion?”

Vogel smirked. “Because, Mason, you’re terrible at losing.”

Mason nodded. “A character flaw, I’m afraid, that is permanent.”

She snatched the file away as Mason lunged for her. Instinctively, her hand went for her gun, and she pointed the sleek black barrel directly at his head. He froze, a smile playing across his face.

“Now let’s be practical,” Mason said. “There’s no way out.”

“You always say that.”

A door opened and men in dark fatigues entered, holding assault rifles. Mason’s henchmen. She should have known. They stood on either side of him, with their weapons trained on her like spiders. Vogel counted six in all.

Mason eyed her. “Really, Vogel. I mean, what are your options? Why don’t you just hand that over and we can all sit down?”

A bead of sweat ran down her back. Her shoes were tight, and she hadn’t showered since Wednesday. She felt gross. This was taking longer than expected. They were on the thirtieth floor, standing in front of a series of plate glass windows. Mason was right. There was no way out.

It was then she heard the roar of the helicopter.

Q & A With Paul G. Wright

Tell us about you as a person.
At my core, I’m a storyteller. I’ve worn a lot of creative hats—journalist, screenwriter, actor—but writing fiction is what always pulls me back. I grew up in the metro-Atlanta area, surrounded by stories—my father was a reporter for The Atlanta Journal, so writing always felt like a natural part of life.
As a kid, I was a bit of an outsider, finding refuge in books and music. S.E. Hinton’s novels spoke to me in a way few books had before, and I spent my high school years in a Metallica T-shirt, blasting heavy metal and dreaming up stories of my own.
These days, I live in Atlanta, balancing my career in communications with my passion for writing. When I’m not working on my next book, I’m usually traveling with my wife, exploring new beaches, or indulging my love of film and photography.

If you could hang out with one famous person for one day, who would it be and why?
I’d love to spend a day with Sean Connery—though I realize that would require some bending of time and reality. His portrayal of James Bond was a major influence on my love of espionage stories, but beyond that, he had an incredible presence and career. I’d love to hear his stories about Hollywood, about life, and about what it was like to embody such an iconic character.
If I had to choose someone still with us, I’d say Neil Gaiman. His storytelling philosophy is fascinating, and I’d love to pick his brain about writing, creativity, and the strange way that stories seem to find us when we least expect them.

What’s the story behind your latest book?
My latest novel, Line of Sight, is a spy thriller set in 1995, following Agent Lora Chandler (Vogel) as she’s tasked with retrieving an invisibility formula before it falls into the wrong hands. What starts as a straightforward mission quickly becomes personal when she’s forced to work with her former love, journalist Richard Davis, while navigating a conspiracy that threatens global stability.
The story was inspired by a simple realization: I had never seen a classic spy thriller with a female lead—at least, not in the same way we’ve seen with Bond or other characters. That idea took hold, and soon, Vogel was in my head, fully formed, demanding her story be told.
Her character was influenced by a close, female friend of mine from high school—someone who had that rare mix of charm, intelligence, and absolute fearlessness. Once I had Vogel, the rest of the story fell into place.

What advice do you have for other writers who want to get the word out about their latest book?
Promoting a book isn’t about shouting “Buy my book!” into the void—it’s about connecting with readers. Engage with people, talk about your story, and find ways to discuss your book in a way that feels natural. If you’re great at public speaking, do podcast interviews. If you love social media, build a presence there. If you’re a great writer (which, as an author, you probably are), write engaging blog posts or articles. Building an audience takes time. The key is to keep showing up, keep engaging, and keep writing.

List 5 things on your bucket list.
1) Visit Ireland and Scotland. My people came from there.
2) See the Grand Canyon for myself.
3) Ride in a hot-air balloon.
4) Meet Judy Blume. In a sense, she inspired me to try this.
5) See one of my books turned into a movie.

Any final thoughts?
Writing is one of the strangest, most rewarding journeys a person can take. It’s a constant battle between self-doubt and creativity, between structure and spontaneity. But at the end of the day, the stories we tell matter. They connect us, challenge us, and remind us of what it means to be human.
To anyone reading this: If you have a story in you, write it. Even if it’s messy. Even if you’re not sure where it’s going. The only difference between a writer and someone who wants to write is persistence. Keep going—you never know who might need your story.

next morning. Pills and alcohol are the only ways she can cope with a childhood
filled with abuse, ending the day she left at fifteen after her mother held her
at gunpoint.

Now, the woman
who caused her so much pain is dead. Emma returns to her childhood home and
finds her mother’s journal. As she reads, her anger slowly begins to melt away
as the years of abuse finally begin to make sense…
