Meet the #Author Monday - Joe Chianakas #horror #adventure

Please tell us a bit about yourself:
I’m a college professor of communication. Just last year, I earned our teacher-of-the-year award! In addition to teaching, I love fitness and martial arts, and of course writing. Rabbit in Red is my debut novel published with Distinguished Press.
Tell us about Rabbit in Red:
It’s an adventure in horror, not simply pure horror, but more of a tribute to great stories, exciting action-adventure, and deep coming-of-age. I’m a fan of cross-genre, so you get a litt...

Guest Post - Digital Demons and Avatar Angels by SA Check via @s_a_check #scifi #paranormal

Blue Angel by Alejandro Lizardo
          Technology. We all love it. We all use it…but at what price? The lack of human to human interaction is a well-documented by-product of our new age of the internet, especially with our collective obsession over social media. As a science fiction author, it’s pretty much in the job description to not only imagine where technology is taking us but some of the ramifications that comes along with those...

Read Only Wednesday - The Neon Court (Matthew Swift #3) #urbanfantasy

Read Only Wednesday is where I feature a title I've either just read, am reading, or added to my TBR pile. This week it's The Neon Court (Matthew Swift book 3) by Kate Griffin. 

Blurb:
A daimyo of the Neon Court is dead and all fingers point towards their ancient enemy - The Tribe. And when magicians go to war, everyone loses.

But Matthew Swift has his own concerns. He has been summoned abruptly, body and soul, to a burning tower and to the dead body of Oda, warrior of The Order and known a...

Tuesday #Teaser - By the Sea by Kat McIntyre #paranormal #romance

Excerpt:
I pressed my lips together, trying not to laugh. He looked so frustrated and perfectly serious, and yet here we were talking about his missing seal pelt. A snort flew past my lips. The floodgates burst and I hunched over, my shoulders shaking with laughter. He stared at me, annoyed.“Sorry, I’m sorry.” I gasped for breath. “It’s just—the mental image of you shouldering a pelt, pretending to be a seal was too much.”He crossed his arms over his chest and waited for my laughter to di...

The SFRB Showcase - A #Superhero Falls #dieselpunk #scifirom #free

The SFR Brigade Showcase
Welcome back to the SFR Brigade Showcase! To celebrate my superhero romance When Dark Falls being free this weekend, I'm sharing a snippet to tempt you into downloading it. Here, my vigilante superhero Nocturnelle has broken into the villain's home, but she's made the mistake of spending a bit too long noising around what is possibly the world's weirdest bedroom...

Inside, the air chilled her. The eerie purple light outlined tubing running down the walls, glass viewpoin...

Guest Post - Talking Cyborgs & Other SciFi Heroes with Cynthia Sax

Releasing Rage is the first story in Cyborg Sizzle, my sixth SciFi romance series. I love the diversity within SciFi Romance. I’ve written about aliens, androids, bounty hunters, clones, and now cyborgs.
The type of hero in a SciFi Romance gives me some indication of the main themes the story might tackle. Yes, every character is different. There are a variety of sexy cyborgs in Releasing Rage. They’re all unique. Type doesn’t mean a cardboard, one dimension cutout character or plot. But there...

#BristolCon #fail

Today I should have been enjoying the fun and excitement of BristolCon, sharing a table alongside my fellow Brigader Misa Buckley, and taking part in the reboot panel, along with stalking my favourite authors and meeting up with another Brigader. Instead, I'm stuck home with a broken car after an evening of trauma that ended with our defunct vehicle being towed home. All for the sake of a cracked expansion tank that costs a mere 17 and takes about ten minutes to fit...providing you have the p...
