Here's a teaser from Selena Illyria! BEWITCHING THE VAMPI...


Here's a teaser from Selena Illyria! BEWITCHING THE VAMPIRE is out now, just in time for Halloween!

“Joe took his seat with easy grace, his features bathed in golden light from the overhead chandelier and the lit candelabras. Bridget took in the neatly groomed five o'clock shadow, his navy blue eyes outlined with dark lashes, the barbell piercing that cut through his thick right brow. Despite his undead status he had a light tan that only enhanced her fascination with him. Where the hell did vampires go to tan that wouldn’t cause them to burst into flames? She shoved away her question and focused on the silver studs in his ears. A smirk graced his mouth. She wondered what it was that he knew that made him smile that way?”

New Release!

I've always wanted to write more stories about Lilly Meratoliage, whom, as some of you long-time Vampire Babylon readers might recall, was a very bad girl during the London Trilogy. She also made an appearance in my indie novella "Raising the Darkness" and starred in the short novelette in KICKING IT called "The Girl with No Name."
Now she's ready for a bigger spotlight!


You can be one of the first to read about Lilly's newest escapade via Amazon, Nook, Kobo, and All Romance eBooks, as well as Createspace (print on demand). I'm working on getting SHADOWS TILL SUNRISE up at Apple, too. Here are the links!
Amazonhttp://www.amazon.com/Shadows-Sunrise-Meratoliage-Fantasy-Romance-ebook/dp/B00NHYS8WS/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1410799340&sr=1-1&keywords=shadows+till+sunrise
Nookhttp://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/shadows-till-sunrise-chris-marie-green/1120337917?ean=2940150428812
Kobohttp://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/shadows-till-sunrise

All Romance eBooks https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-shadowstillsunrise-1628238-153.html
Createspace printhttp://www.amazon.com/Shadows-Till-Sunrise-Meratoliage-Volume/dp/0988479052/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1410799340&sr=1-1
If you want to refresh yourself with Lilly's previous books--or if you've never met her before--here's the order in which she appears in my work:
*A DROP OF RED, Vampire Babylon, Book Four*THE PATH OF RAZORS, Vampire Babylon, Book Five*DEEP IN THE WOODS, Vampire Babylon, Book Six*“Raising the Darkness,” included in the MONSTER HUNTERScollection or available in print in its own compilation called RAISING THEDARKNESS*“The Girl with No Name,” included in the KICKING IT anthology *SHADOWS TILL SUNRISE

I hope you enjoy this! I would love to write future Lilly Meratoilage books, especially since these are more urban fantasy romance than pure urban fantasy. (There's more focus on a developing romance, but there's still a lot of action and paranormal mayhem!) To stay tuned for other projects, click here to join my newsletter. :)
And please feel free to leave an honest review where you bought the book! I'd *very* much appreciate it.
Happy Hunting everyone...

Cover Reveal!!!

Cover reveal!!! The manuscript is being formatted right now, but I'll let you know when this is out. (Soon!) This will give you time to read the novelette in the KICKING IT anthology if you already haven't, LOL. (Hint: This book is a sequel, although you don't *have* to read the novelette first. However, it's just more fun that way. ) This will be in print with CreateSpace as well as digitally on Kindle, Nook, Kobo, and at some point, iTunes. So stay tuned for all that info! Now...here's the cover of SHADOWS TILL SUNRISE, a Lilly Meratoliage urban fantasy romance...

J. Harper (Reckoning), Christina Lauren(Sublime), Tonya Hurley (Blessed series), and moderator Chris Marie Green (Only the Good Die Young) discuss the paranormal elements in their action-packed novels that keep their protagonists on their toes and readers on the edge of their seats.Saturday July 26, 2014 10:30am - 11:30am

About time, Crystal!

So yesterday I realized that "Crystal Green" wasn't a Goodreads author. I'm on here as "Chris Marie Green," my urban fantasy persona but...no Crystal.

Duh, right?

Glad to finally be here in this guise!

Another Opportunity Giveaway!

***ROUGH AND TUMBLE Opportunity Giveaway!***

Since reviews are so very important to a book’s success, I’d be ever so grateful if you’d help me out with them.  For those who can leave honest reviews on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, or Apple (They don’t even have to be long reviews!), I’m offering this giveaway with a fun prize package: At the Romantic Times Conference in May, I received so much swag and books that I thought the winner might like these treats—along with the *very* nice RT book bag!

Here’s how the giveaway works: If you leave a review for ROUGH AND TUMBLE, email me via my site by clicking here. Let me know the name you posted the review under—and please know that I am asking for honest reviews, so I won’t be judging the content in any way. This is just to confirm the review. The giveaway will end on Tuesday, August 5, 2014, at 5:00pm Pacific Time, and I’ll announce the winner on my blog, on Facebook, and on Twitter (@CrystalGreenMe). I will also contact the winner. (One entry per review.)

If you have the time to post an honest review, thank you so much! Reviews help so much with promotion and exposure, and that’s part of what keeps me writing. 

Here are the site links!
