Tuesday Teaser - Destiny by @CeliaBreslin #excerpt #vampire #UF

EXCERPT:
My day moved from ordinary to interesting when the deliveryman handed me a box that smelled of blood.The scent made my mouth water. Pungent iron mixed with, of all things, lavender. My thoughts flew straight to Tessa, my surrogate vampire mother. When she pulled out one of her specialty powers, the one I fondly referred to as vampire valium, this relaxing, floral herb scented the air and reduced friend or foe to a boneless, helpless puddle.I shut the front door on...

A Night Time Jaunt... - The SFRB Showcase #2 #scifi #superhero #romance

Welcome to the second SFRB Showcase, and this time I'm sharing our first meeting with two of the central characters from my superhero romance story--When Dark Falls--which releases on the 21st of November from Breathless Press. 
Nocturnelle perched on the carved griffin statue decorating the tower's cornerstone, with hundreds of feet of empty space between her and the ground below. Her second skin felt tight. It was a familiar sensation and yet always the first thing she noticed on waking...

Tuesday Teaser - Enscrolled by Connie L Smith #YA #fantasy #paranormal

Excerpt:
McKenna watched him leave before refocusing on Johnny, confused at the expression her boyfriend wore. “What are you smirking at?”
 He shrugged. “I’m just not sure how this could be such a bad memory. My girl glued to my side.” Wiggling his eyebrows, he continued. “Playing nurse…”
 “Well, you are poisoned,” she deadpanned. “That puts a damper on these types of situations for most people.”
 “Oh, you’re serious again.” His smirk broadened. “Are you gonna yell at me like you d...

My Five Greatest Fears - The Haunting Halloween Blog Hop

When I saw the topic for the hop, I laughed (in classic villain bwahahaa!). Something I'm scared of? Gee, where do I start?!
I've had terrible nightmares all my life, even as an adult. Lots of things scare me, and of course they become ten times worse in the over active imagination of my subconscious. So I'm going to give you my top five fears that get me, mostly at night, but sometimes by day.




1. The dark. Yes, I'm scared of the dark. Even now I can't even walk from one room to another at nigh...

When Love Comes Home - Romancing #Halloween Blog Hop #paranormal #giveaway

Last year I wrote my first ever paranormal story, and a Halloween-themed one at that. Much like my hero, I've had to wait a whole year to reveal it! But now Halloween is upon us and I can share. :) Inspired by the old meaning of All Hallows' Eve, a couple of stock images from dreamstime.com, and a love for Brian Froud fairies, I came up with Hallow's Eve.

Off To #BristolCon!

So today I set off for BristolCon, daughter and suitcase full of swag in tow. We're taking the train from Colchester to Bristol with the convention running all day tomorrow. I have serious butterflies! It's twenty five years since I last attended, and this time as a dealer rather than a visitor. This will also be my first convention as an author with books to pimp. Eeep! But I won't be alone. Aside from daughter, I'll be with friend, fellow author and Brigader Misa Buckley (whose artistic tal...
