It's Still Important-The Importance of a Series Bible by Yolanda Sfetsos

It's Still Important

Hello, everyone! I'd like to thank Roxanne for having me over today, to help me promote my latest urban fantasy release. I love popping in! :)
The last time I was here, I spoke about The Importance of a Series Bible for my Sierra Fox series. Back then I was celebrating the release of the first book, and today I'm back to celebrate the release of the third one. Wow. I can't believe how quickly time flies... when you're having fun. LOL. Because I'm having some serious fun writing this series.Still, it's not easy. One of the hardest things is actually keeping everything straight and not forgetting the small details. Things that if the writer forgets would stand out and pull the reader out of the story.

If I thought the Bible was important back at the beginning of Sierra's adventure, now it's become essential. The more books I write in her world, the more important it is to have all of my research, notes, spells, places, names, and descriptions updated. I find myself referring to different things all the time, and not just while writing the first draft. All the info and pictures I have in my spiral notebook become super important during the revision process, because that's where I'll catch myself out.That's when I need to make sure everything makes sense and matches what's been said/done in the previous books. Continuity can be a tricky and easily missed thing, especially if you don't have the correct backup handy. I'm so glad that I started this collection of information right at the beginning, otherwise I would truly be lost.As I embark on writing the fifth--and possibly last--book, the first thing I'll do is read through my notes. They will help guide the way...Thanks for reading,Yolanda


All it takes is one freak to turn everything into a demonic ritual.

Sierra Fox, Book 3
Sierra Fox’s relationship with sexy werewolf Jason Papan is going great, but it doesn’t take a psychic to tell her someone’s out to get her. As usual, though, there’s too much else going on to worry about just another assassination attempt. In addition to the demon-possessed freaks that still want her, a whole new bucket of trouble has been dumped in her path. The half-sister Sierra never knew she had isn’t a typical teenager. Willow comes with supernatural baggage that grows heavier every time someone close to her dies. And the load gets bigger every time the police find the body of another young girl. Now Sierra’s not only dealing with the target on her own back, but the one that a power-hungry woman has painted on her poltergeist-magnet sister. As she finds herself drawn into the thick of a murder investigation, Sierra must face her deepest fears and embrace the darkest of her powers to overcome the looming threat. Or the prediction of her death might just come true. Warning: Spook catching: never gets any easier, neither does trying to avoid being killed by a shadowy organization. Always expect the unexpected—dangerous vampires, poltergeists and demon-obsessed freaks. At least the werewolf is pleasurably safe.

ON PINS AND NEEDLES is now available from Samhain Publishing.

Tour Intro: Welcome to Adelheid by Mia Darien

Welcome to Adelheid!
It's a fantasy for some, and a nightmare for others. It all depends on whether you're more about an Anne Rice vampire or Bram Stoker's classic. ;-)
It's a city in a world where the United States has made preternatural creatures legal, where a vampire could be your neighbor and a werewolf could be your boss. They were there all along, but now you know it. Some people react well, and others react with fear and hatred.
My time in this world started long ago and has seen a lot of changes before getting to this road, but having been born and raised for the first twenty-eight years of my life in New England, it's in my blood and it's exciting to bring it to readers through this new city that I've created.

I'm thrilled to have this blog tour and can't wait to invite more people into this world, along with my characters. I look forward to seeing you in Adelheid!

Isis EroticaThe Complete TrilogySandra Gore
Genre: historical time travel erotic romance

Book Description
Would you dare step back in time to find Mr. Right?

A frustrated Las Vegas party girl discovers a Red Mirror in an antique mall and succumbs to the lure of the bold-eyed woman in the glass. “Come,” the Mirror beckons, “taste of a life more sensuous than any dream.”

The exotic life that tempts is one she once lived as Isis, priestess in the mystic cult of Hathor, Egyptian Goddess of Love. "I have secrets," her aura teased. "Wonderful secrets that only I can share."

On the banks of the ancient Nile, she meets River God of bronzed flesh and snowy linen. "You shall fly to the stars with my tongue on your lotus," he breathes in her ear. Alas, the gods have other plans. Isis finds herself first on a quest for the all-powerful Emerald Tablet, and then without warning, back in Las Vegas.

Uncertain and unnerved, Isis joins best friend Barb for a surprise encounter that compels her to go back through the Red Mirror in search of River God. But a desert hunt goes all wrong, and Isis the sex slave lands in the grip of the Persian General's thick fingers. "If you please me," he proposes, "you will belong to me and me alone, but only as long as I am pleased." One fateful night, a ride on a comet shows Isis the dark side of love and sets the price she must pay for freedom.

"There is more to this collection than a love story. Add in reincarnation and mysterious artifacts that cross time. The writing is high quality and full of imagery. I highly recommend Ms Gore's work."

Four hot men crossing back and forth through time. They all want her. Who will have her? Does she have to choose?

Who says a woman should have only one man?

Who says there's a Mr. Right?

One man is not enough for Isis. One life is not enough.

She has the Power - The Hathor Power.

Author's note: If you want to go right to the juicy parts, use the special Table of Contents to jump to those vignettes.

"I was transported through time to a world of Egyptian gods and goddesses, temples and high priestesses, honeyed dates and cleansing oils. And a woman who will never be satisfied by just one man, although Isis does love them all with great intensity. She has great taste too - these men are to die for." 

The Isis Erotica collection is comprised of three connected adventures  that can be downloaded as ebooks in three parts: The Red Mirror, The Persian General and The Great Green 

Part One: The Red Mirror. Who knew an old mirror in an antique store would promise pleasures more sensuous than any dream? Isis meets River God of bronzed flesh and snowy linen, the man with The Touch. She will do anything to feel that touch, even cross through time. 

Part Two: The Persian General. A wild desert hunt goes all wrong when Isis is kidnapped by the Persian General. A bull of a man with legs like the columns of a temple, he holds her life in his thick fingers. But Isis has a destiny, and Isis has the Power - the Hathor Power.

Part Three: The Great Green. Isis is the chosen one, chosen by her father Hermes Trismegistus to protect the Emerald Tablet. But Isis needs protection herself from the evil Crown Prince and the invading Persians. Cosmic forces bring together the circle of souls in two passion-filled nights - one below deck on River God's ship on the Nile and the other on the Las Vegas Strip.

Interview and Giveaway: Dragonstone by Paula Millhouse

Hi, Fang-tastic Books! Thanks for having me on your site today to chat about Dragonstone, my Fantasy Romance with Boroughs Publishing Group.

Can you tell readers a little bit about yourself and what inspired to write in this particular genre?
I work in the medical field as a Family Nurse Practitioner during the day, and I write fiction in my off-hours. I find it’s the perfect escape from reality, and we all need a healthy dose of that, especially the creative minds among us. I’ve shared a love of all things fantasy since I was a child. Unicorns and rainbows gave way to dragons and Knights in Shining Armor as I grew up, and when I started writing it felt like a natural path to follow.
What is it about the paranormal, in particular vampires, that fascinates you so much?
I find myself drawn to fantasy romance, and I figure, why give the vampires all the press? Let’s mix it up a little with elves, dragons, wizards, fairies, and hot romance. I even wrote a story about a Leprechaun – they’re very underrepresented in romance.
What inspired you to write this book?
I wanted to write a twist on the typical Knight saves the Princess from the Dragon. In Dragonstone, I reversed the roles.
Magnus is a royal dragon, and he has a huge future in front of him – a prophecy names him, an Aurora class dragon, as the dragon who will unite all the dragons on Chalvaren. A mercenary has stolen his egg.
He’s just hatched, only days old, and in order to fulfill said prophecy Kort, our Elven Prince chases the mercenary to an alternate dimension to recover Magnus. Guess what happens along the way? Yep, you guessed it, there’s a princess involved, and of course, the Dragonstone. The story details how warrior prince Kort tries everything in his power to return the stolen dragon to Chalvaren.

Do you have a special formula for creating characters' names? Do you try to match a name with a certain meaning to attributes of the character or do you search for names popular in certain time periods or regions?
I confess, I love etymology, the study of name origins. I do like to match names with concepts, for instance, what they stand for. Sometimes a name just stands out for me, like both Magnus, and Kort did. I like the lyrical way they sound on my tongue. Coming up with my world’s name of Chalvaren was a challenge, but I’ve fallen for it, and I love visiting my fairy tale land where dragons rule the sky, and elves rule the kingdoms.
Was one of your characters more challenging to write than another?
Magnus, the dragonlet was so much fun to write. Everything we know about dragons, I twisted, and suddenly here’s this horse-sized little creature that seems to have flown away with all my reader’s hearts. I’m so stoked that happened.
Kort was the easiest to write. He’s this furious elf on an impossible quest and stacking the odds against him was an author’s greatest joy.
Mia was the most challenging to write. I tend to go all lily-livered on my heroines early on, but watching Mia develop into a kick-ass woman who knows what she wants, and goes after it, was quite a liberating experience.


What is your favorite scene from the book? Could you share a little bit of it, without spoilers of course?
I have several, especially the final scene but you’ll have to read the book for that one. One of my favorites is when Magnus comes on scene for the first time. Here’s a short snippet: His wings spanned twenty feet when he flew in. Or, rather, fell in. Mia reached out as if she might ease his descent, and her action stopped Kort in his tracks. The elf’s mouth opened, his eyes wide, and then a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips. He placed his body in front of her as a shield.The dragon’s underbelly and the inside of his wings showed red, the subcutaneous tissue tender, undeveloped and showing through translucent scales. The beast screamed again, and the terror in the cry gripped Mia so that she instantly wanted to protect him. All instinct to take cover faded. “Listen to him! He can’t roar.” She pointed with one hand and with the other covered her mouth. “He can’t even fly. Holy hell, look at that!” she said as she watched the little dragon hit the ground with full force and roll, head-over-heels, bouncing across the meadow, screeching all the way.The ground trembled with the impact. Mia covered her eyes, looked away while her heart raced with worry. “I can’t watch. Oh, God, what if he broke a wing? Is he okay?”“Inside! NOW!” Kort demanded. He hauled Mia away from the scene and into the safety of her cottage.

Do you ever suffer from writer’s block? How do you deal with it?
I think at some point all writers do in some form, whether they admit it or not. There’s a creative well in writers that can become depleted if we don’t take care and nourish that part of our soul. Travel helps. I like Pinterest as a form of therapy – it replenishes me to see all those incredible photographs. Music helps, and I maintain a small kitchen garden to stay in contact with nature.
I also have come to believe that any form of block is our brain trying to protect us from something. The trick is, discovering what that something is, and coming up with solid way to deal with the issue.


Do you write in different genres?
I do – I love romantic suspense. I have two novels on amazon with killer stories – Careful What You Wish For, and All Your Wishes. Another Fantasy Romance story I wrote is Three Wishes, from BPG.
Do you find it difficult to write in multiple genres?
No. When I find trouble with world-building in the fantasy stories, moving back into the contemporary feel of romantic suspense helps me keep writing.
When did you consider yourself a writer?
When I realized I couldn’t NOT write. And, I gotta confess, when I got that first royalty statement from my publisher, Boroughs Publishing Group, that slammed the sensation home for me. Holding my first printed novel in my hands (I used Create Space for paperbacks of my Wishes series) – Yeah, that was just like holding a newborn in my hands. Very cool.
What are your guilty pleasures in life?
Good red wine, dark chocolate, and reading

What can readers expect next from you?
The follow-up novel to DRAGONSTONE - working title, DRAGONS’ HEART.
Where can readers find you on the web?

Cover Reveal Savior by Jennifer Malone Wright

Savior A Higher Collective NovelFormerly "The Birth of Jaiden"Jennifer Malone Wright
Releases on July 9th, 2013
Description:
Alexander Lucas is a man of faith, casino owner and vampire. He should be living the Reno high life of riches and immortality. Instead, he wakes each night despising the blood on his hands and begging for a reason to continue on.

The last beat of his heart took place shortly after losing his family to a gruesome and violent death. One snowy night, the creature who had been stalking him finally took his life, in turn giving him the gift of immortality. Yet, immortality to Alex is not a gift, but rather a curse to live in eternal pain.

Nearly a century of tortured existence leads him to a dumpster in a dark alley where he finds a reason for continuing on. Nestled between bits of debris and rubbish a tiny infant wails for help. He calls for his best friend and guardian angel, Danielle, who explains to him that he has been chosen to raise this baby, for she would someday become a very powerful, natural witch. She tells him it is now his job to protect her from the enemy who wants her so badly, yet also to be her father.

Thinking this angel is out of her mind, Alex refuses many times until Danielle convinces him that the enemy, Malcolm and his wife Levine, cannot obtain the child and that they are, indeed attempting to find her. He must keep her safe, because if evil hands raise her than she will grow to possess the power to annihilate them all.

Luckily, Alex is not alone, he has The Higher Collective to assist in his mission. With the combined powers of the Vampires, Angels, Dark Angels, Witches and Warlocks, The Higher Collective prepares for a battle to protect the child from the evil she may possibly inherit.

Setting the Scene: I’ll Be Damned by Casey Keen

Setting the Scene… Savannah, GA
When it comes to writing a novel, the setting plays an important role in creating the tone/theme of the book and how the characters interact with it and one another. When I first developed the plot of I’ll Be Damned, I knew Savannah, GA would be the perfect city to add some depth into my storyline and characters, especially the lead, Anna. What about Savannah felt right? Well, the first time I visited this city (and I visit here a lot), it was love at first site. The minute my foot touched the cobblestone street I parked on, it felt like I stepped back into time. Homes, statues, squares, street lamps, architecture, etc.—most mimicked a time when true beauty was treasured and grace was sought after. Savannah radiates historical elegance and enchantment.
Another factor was familiarity. I wanted the main setting to take place somewhere I’ve visited. What’s the importance in that? Since I knew I would have more than one fictitious setting intertwined throughout the novel, I wanted the main point of reference (or the “heart”) to be “real.” Savannah is a city I’ve seen with my own eyes and created experiences in. Because of this, I can share my deep love for it in my writing. This allows me to help the reader envision the world I created in their perspective.
Settings in novels can either be a character or embody character; sometimes both. In my novel, I wanted Savannah to be a place the characters can retreat to, but act as an influence at the same time. Throughout the book, the reader can see how Anna is heavily influenced by this city (for reasons I won’t give away here!) and in turn, how she interacts with it and what it has to offer. So, when writing, be mindful of the important role your setting(s) plays in each scene and with each character!

About the Author :

J.T. Brown is a paranormal fantasy/science fiction author, who lives in Downeast, Maine. J.T. has always been drawn to the ocean, maybe because she spent most of her days on her father’s lobster boat as a child, or maybe it’s the phenomenon that shakes her cage daily. The Reversing Falls, which sits on the coast of Maine has always sang its mysteries across the twisting currents of the ocean, but for J.T. that song has always been a tale, waiting to bleed its story across the pages of “The Reversing World’s Trilogy.”

Kickstarter- Morganville: The Web TV Series

Rachel Caine is looking to make her highly successful Morganville Vampires book series into a web based TV series. 
Readers who want to help her get it kickstarted can help by pledging. Based on your pledge you get different rewards from Rachel.
Morganville: The Series - a high quality web TV series based on the int'l bestselling Morganville Vampires novels by Rachel Caine.From Rachel Caine:So, either you’re a lover of vampire fiction, or a YA novel fan, or a reader of my books, or a follower of Blake Calhoun’s (Loud Pictures) excellent work … or you’re here totally by mistake. In any case, WELCOME! This is the Kickstarter to fund an adaptation of the Morganville Vampires novels for web TV. And it will be epic. If you don’t know anything about Morganville, here goes: a brave teen (Claire Danvers) moves to the very isolated West Texas town to attend the local university, only to (a) run afoul of the local mean (very mean) girls, and (b) move to the safety of off-campus housing with three strangers. But the plot thickens when she discovers that her new housemates aren’t crazy: Morganville really is run by vampires. They own it, and every one in it. And now ... they own her. The series is a  New York Times, USA Today and #1 international bestseller , and the first novel,  Glass Houses , was recently voted the most popular book among UK school children … ahead of powerhouses like Twilight and Harry Potter. There are 14 novels currently available, with the last,  Daylighters , coming out November 2013.I’m from Texas, as is my co-conspirator (and producer/director) Blake Calhoun. And we’re planning to film in Texas – where the novels are set – if this Kickstarter succeeds. What do we need? $75,000 in production cash to fund the essential first season costs like actors, equipment, effects, music … and, of course, the goodies we’re offering as incentives. If we go over that goal, we’ll make better episodes, or even more episodes. But what we really need is you. Your support, and spreading the word to others, because Morganville fans want to see this happen … we’ve got the emails, petitions and fan videos to prove it. So become a Morganville resident. We promise … you’ll never want to leave. Thank you!From Blake:I'm a big believer in the D2F (Direct-To-Fan) world we now find ourselves living in whether it be for musicians, writers, filmmakers or artists in general. It's a great time to be a content creator. And there honestly couldn't be a more interesting project for me to be involved with than this one...An international best-selling book series with (built-in) fans around the world - and no TV show or movie has been made yet? I'm in. I think if you were looking for a recipe for crowd-funding a project this would be it and I'm very humbled and grateful to be involved.I've produced and directed four online series (web TV shows) including PINK-The Series,Exposed (for Warner Bros. and TheWB.com), an indie sci-fi thriller called Continuumand 88 HITS, a mockumentary about a mob family who's going broke. These shows have been distributed around the world and have millions of views on sites like Hulu, YouTube, Koldcast TV, JTS TV, and more. So from the experience I've gained from this past work, I hope to successfully bring these books to life - with your help of course.Thank you for whatever you can contribute whether it be a simple tweet (or re-tweet) or $10,000 to become a Co-Producer of the show. Everything helps (especially $10K). :) Thank you!
