Anthology

As promised, Here is the cover and title for the anthology i'll be part of. My short story is told from Dorian Hade's point of view and titled: A Perfect Temptation. There is not an official release date as of yet, but we're hoping to have it out no later than March. All of the stories revolve around the paranormal.

Cupid Painted Blind? What a strange title, you guys are probably thinking. Well it's based off of one of Shakespeare's plays and we loved the meaning behind it so much that we had to use it. Cupid Painted Blind = Love is Blind.

Dorian lures Gwen to a old Bed and Breakfast Inn to hunt down and extract a ghost whose been causing trouble for the owners. While they deal with the trickster spirit, Dorian has a few tricks of his own. Surely Gwen won't be able to ignore someone as tempting as Dorian Hade, right? Especially when he's making sure that ignoring their attraction for each other isn't easy.

~ Joining me in Cupid Painted Blind are five other talented writers! ~

Liz Schulte is the author of two fantastic books. Her first is called, Dark Corners and will have you looking over your shoulder and locking your doors. Her second book, Secrets, is part of a trilogy and off to an amazing start!

BLURB: While Olivia Martin observed life through her camera, the abyss gazed back at her. She discovers mysterious men follow her around, people close to her are dying, and her dreams are no longer her own as she falls head over heels for a perfect stranger. A chance encounter leads to an obsession that could destroy everything she has ever known or loved. Olivia is about to find out there is a lot she doesn't know and sometimes what you don't know can kill you.

Lisa Rayns is the author of Curse of the Egyptian Goddess. The story will leave the reader rooting for the heroine and on the edge of their seats. Lisa also has a full length novel coming out soon!

BLURB: Given her ten-year curse that leaves her beaten and bruised, Emma Patrix has grown accustomed to drinking away the pain. And with a trail of dead bodies behind her, it was only a matter of time before the law caught up. Now she's accused of murder and she must flee the country to find the one man who can help her break the curse-Calvin Konrad. She finally catches up with him in Egypt, but he's not the same sweet boy she remembers from her childhood. And getting him to help her proves more difficult than she ever imagined.

C.G. Powell is the author of Spell Checked - Book 1 in the No Uncertain Logic Series. This is one of the most original paranormal romance books I've ever read. I love to see how writers perceive creatures we've all come to know and love. Spell Checked is full of sexy scenes, humor and action!

BLURB: Broken relationships were a constant in Mae's life, causing her to swear off men forever. Unwittingly lured to Ireland, Mae finds herself knee-deep in a hidden world she never knew existed and head over heels for the very man that tricked her to coming there. His deception is complicated by his own feelings for the one person that holds the key to merging the ancient races that once ruled the ancient word.Mae finds herself in an underground world of witches, and vampires, which are half-breeds of aliens long gone. She learns about her own unique parentage and powers, which she must study in order to control, before they consume her.
Beck and Helen's love for one another spans across a millennium, her human soul reincarnated to match Beck's own immortality. This time however the body she occupies is of a being that cannot be eclipsed by her return. After waiting two hundred years, Beck finds himself tormented by Helen's inability to return and his growing love for her new host.
Some of the underworld creatures welcome her with open arms as a savior, while others seek to destroy the abomination they believe her to be. Will the knowledge of her existence cause a race war when the true power of her blood is discovered? Or will love become her ultimate downfall?
