HEROINES & HELLIONS: Author Carly Fall

Imagine a world that is fueled by girl power. Strong women. Unbreakable heroines. Fierce femininity.

Now, imagine 22 worlds, just like that. That's what you'll see in the HEROINES & HELLIONS urban fantasy boxed set.

To kick off the prelaunch of HEROINES & HELLIONS, we wanted to show you the badass writers behind the set. Over the next few weeks, we will be introducing each of the HEROINES authors and asking them: Who is the biggest badass woman you know?

The most badass woman I know is my longtime friend, Jennifer. When diagnosed with cancer, she was so brave. She tackled cancer like she approaches any setback in life - she dominated it and made it her bitch. Thankfully, she has been cancer-free for a few years, and she continues to inspire me. I want to be like her when I grow up!


Carly Fall is an award-winning author, wife, mother and slave to the dog, Nicky. Find out more about her at www.carlyfall.com.

Scarlett O'hara. She was flawed, selfish, spoiled, and yet, she survived war and destitution. Sure, she used eyebrow-raising methods to accomplish her goals, but it was her determination and will to survive that made her one badass heroine. It's no coincidence that my heroine in Dead Witches Don't Talk is named after her. ;)

HEROINES & HELLIONS: Author Maria Monroe

So...kick back and kick it with us. Hello, Maria Monroe!


So, saying that a nun is "badass" might seem strange or even irreverent. But one of the women I consider really badass is Mother Teresa. While she didn't run around with a bow and arrow taking down vicious criminals, she was hard core in a different way. To dedicate one's entire life to other people, to literally and physically picking them up off the street and helping them, is so different from what most people do that it is a form of rebelliousness. A beautiful, gritty, painful, glorious existence. And that? That's really badass.


Maria Monroe writes contemporary romance novels. She lives outside Chicago with her amazing husband, three kids, and lots of animals. Find out more at www.graffitifiction.com.

The City Stalker
Theadora Rose captures cryptids for a living. When she's not out chasing vicious and mythological creatures, she likes to be alone. Her coffee's always black. Her liquor's always straight. And her men get kicked out well before morning.

But when her new assignment is to track and catch a vampire, her world turns upside down. He's not human. But he's close enough that the line seems blurred. And for the first time ever, her prey makes her heart pound, and not just from adrenaline.

She'll fight him. And she'll win. But suddenly everything she took for granted is a mirage. In this new world, nobody can be trusted, and danger lurks everywhere.

So...kick back and kick it with us. Hello, Heather Marie Adkins!



My mother. She was a police officer all my life - so you're talking 30 years in a male-dominated career. And she excelled at it. She spent the last seven years of her career as a Major - the highest rank you can reach without being elected into position. She's used her weapon in the line of duty. She's been injured so many times I've lost count. Then, three years ago, her husband (my stepfather of 15 years) committed suicide, and she survived. No other person in my life has the strength and fortitude to match the woman who raised me. I'm infinitely proud to call her my mother. She retired just a couple weeks ago. I hope her next adventure is just as great as the first.


HEATHER MARIE ADKINS writes too much but still too little. She also has too many cats, not enough tequila, and a torrid love affair with procrastination. She is the USA Today bestselling author of over twenty novels. Find out more at heathermarieadkins.com.

Demons Are a Girl's Best FriendHell has spilled over into the real world. But thatís okay. Nobody's dead. Yet.

An uneasy truce has been found: Demons donít screw the world up; humans don't kill them. Itís a pretty simple set-up, kept in check by the immigration and selection process.

Kahri O'Reilly has a nice, quiet life teaching martial arts by day and sleeping with her cat by night, until a 200-year old demigod sexier-than-sin shows up to drag her to hell. Turns out, Kahri's polite, cross-stitch obsessed mother is actually a demon who married the wrong man and fled to earth the minute the portals began to open. She just neglected to share that with Kahri.

Below the unknowing surface world, civil war is brewing. Kahri's dad is dead, and blood bonds dictate she has to take his place. Only, the legacy he left her is a bloody one. His problems-and his enemies-have suddenly become hers, and she has no idea what she's doing.

Kahri is poised between the worlds, the perfect ambassador to prevent the apocalypse-as long as she doesn't die first.

Now, imagine 22 worlds, just like that. That's what you'll see in the HEROINES & HELLIONS urban fantasy boxed set.

So...kick back and kick it with us. Hello, Christina Walker!



A character from my favorite urban fantasy series, the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Her name is Karrin Murphy, a Chicago cop in the department that deals with anything weird. She's five feet tall (which I automatically love because I'm short too), wins awards for her martial arts skills, and isn't afraid to go up against anything -- werewolves, demons, you name it. She's tough enough to stand up to the main character, a powerful wizard, when she thinks he's wrong, and strong enough to put herself back together after some awful things happen to her.


Christina Walker writes urban fantasy and other "supernatural" genres. She is also a librarian and a freelance editor for indie authors. Find out more at christinawalker.net.

October Frights Annual Blog Hop!


Ever since I was a kid, I got a really weird kick out of scaring myself silly.

It started long before I discovered Stephen King (that didn't happen until sixth grade). I was a relentless pursuer of the Bloody Mary legend at day camp--when I was eight years old. To this day, I still can't look into a mirror in a dark room.

In high school, I'd sit in my perfectly peaceful bedroom late at night, imagining all the horrific things that weren't but possibly could be hiding in the shadows downstairs...then have to work up the nerve to go down to the bathroom, all the while straining to hear the things that weren't there (but quite possibly could have been). And then I'd run from them.

On family vacations, I'd drag the husband along on ghost tours--and then go back to the hotel, disappointed that no one ended up possessed. Fifteen dollar for a few stories and the chance to fool around with a K2 meter used to seem like a legit spend of money.

Now, if I don't capture compelling EVPs or end up with demon scratches on my leg, I'm bummed, and I keep the rest of the family up saying things like, "Now, what *would* have been cool is if we got chased by a vengeful spirit and had to run for our lives." Everyone else would put in earplugs and go to sleep, and I'd start to worry I ended up with a spirit attachment who was just biding its time before it made my life a living hell.

King. Poe. Kruger. Halloween. Ghost hunting. Thrill rides. Disturbing movies. Haunted houses. Scary books. All of these glorious things fed an over-active imagination and resulted in a kid who was convinced she really ought to be afraid of the dark.

Ought to be afraid. Never quite made it, but I'm trying.

In fact, I keep digging and prying into the shadows, waiting for the big payoff. It'll come one day, I'm sure, and I will totally lose my poo.

Until then...I run, hoping something will chase.
