Series spotlight: A’yen’s Legacy by Rachel Leigh Smith
My Name is A’yen
A’yen’s Legacy, book 1
by Rachel Leigh Smith
They’ve taken everything from him. Except his name.
The Loks Mé have been slaves for so long, freedom is a distant myth A’yen Mesu no longer believes. A year in holding, because of his master’s murder, has sucked the life from him. Archaeologist Farran Hart buys him to protect her on an expedition to the Rim, the last unexplored quadrant of the galaxy.
Farran believes the Loks Mé once lived on the Rim and is determined to prove it. And win A’yen’s trust. But she’s a breeder’s daughter and can’t be trusted.
Hidden rooms, information caches, and messages from a long-dead king change A’yen’s mind about her importance. When she’s threatened, he offers himself in exchange, and lands on the Breeders Association’s radar. The truth must be told. Even if it costs him his heart.
Book One is free for the whole month of February!

New Release from K. N. Lee: Goddess of War
Goddess of War
Tales from the Abyss
by K. N. Lee
From the award-winning author of the international bestsellers Rise of the Flame, and The Chronicles of Koa series comes Goddess of War, an epic fantasy series set in a world of humans, fairies, and a battle between dueling gods.
After escaping the Vault, a prison for gods, twin siblings Preeti and Vineet make a desperate journey to another world.
The Abyss, also known as the human world.
The Abyss is nothing like they imagined, and soon they find that they may like it more than the world of the gods, especially when relationships form with their human friends.
Three years are all they have to hide from the Goddess of Law, a woman determined to either imprison or kill the twins and take their spot as rulers of the gods.
The human world will never be the same with the Goddess of War and the God of Peace hiding in their land.
Preeti and Vineet are thrust into a war for more than their lives, but their souls, and those of the humans they have grown to love. The Goddess of Law will stop at nothing to destroy them, even if that means tearing the human world apart.

Especially with a dangerous new foe haunting the night and Rick harboring a few secrets — and enemies — of his own.
There’s more than meets the eye on Twin Moon Ranch, home to a pack of shapeshifting wolves willing to battle for life and love.

Author interview: @kerryadrienne talks about #StormDamage
Good day everyone! my friend and writing partner, Kerry Adrienne, has a new release! She is here today to talk about her mermaid-lite novel, Storm Damage. I can’t wait to go hide somewhere to read this one! Pull up a chair and welcome her.
Lia: Welcome Kerry Adrienne! Please start off by telling us a little about yourself.
Kerry: I’m an author living in Raleigh, NC who wishes she lived in NYC or on the beach or in Europe…but Raleigh is a great place to raise kids, and I have three. Two are in college, and I have a 9yo that I homeschool. We also have seven cats, some reptiles, and a bunny. Dinner is busy time around here.
Lia: Tell us about your new release.
Kerry: Storm Damaged is what I like to call “mermaid-lite”. It’s set in the contemporary world and most all of it takes place on land. There’s no underwater chatting. Mari is the heroine and she saved the hero, Chase, from drowning. His brother died on that same dive and now Chase suffers PTSD around water. Chase is trying to sell his bar and move inland, but Mari wants him to stay! Problem is, there’s a hurricane coming and they end up getting stuck on the island to weather out the storm. Meanwhile, Mari’s betrothed stalks them.
Lia: Is Storm Damage a single title, or part of a series?
Kerry: Currently, it is a single title, but I have an idea for another two books in the same world. Stay Tuned!
Lia: What were your inspirations for the story?
Kerry: I love the Outer Banks of North Carolina and I’ve always loved mermaids. Putting the two together was natural.
Lia: Please share your setting for Storm Damage. Have you ever lived or visited there? If so, what did you like most?
Kerry: Yes, the Outer Banks of North Carolina are some of the most beautiful islands you’ll ever visit. They aren’t super commercialized and you really feel like you are far away from the hubbub of normal life. We’ve been spending a week there every summer the last several years.
Lia: When did the writing bug first bite?
Kerry: Like most writers that I’ve run into, the urge to write hit as early as I was able to write. I think the stories were always there as way to entertain myself and escape reality.
Lia: Do you have any hobbies or special things you like to do in your spare time?
Kerry: I’m a professional costumer and I used to sew a lot—making historical costumes for reenactments, and bringing to life anime and manga characters for conventions. I also did a lot of theater work. Writing has really eaten into that time, but I hope to do more sewing this year.
Lia: Boxers, brief or commando?
Kerry: brief
Lia: Favorite eye color?
Kerry: Blue!
Lia: What’s the strangest thing you’ve heard or seen?
Kerry: How about the strangest thing I heard today (cause every day is weird)? Today, I overheard Andi say, “I made a statue out of my skin.” Okay…
Thank you, Kerry, for taking time out in your busy schedule to stop by. I so look forward to reading Storm Damage. Now more about the book.
STORM DAMAGED by Kerry Adrienne!
In another time and place, she’d be exactly the kind of woman he’d want to date. And more. If only…

In a world where humans don’t know mermaids exist, Mari leaves her home in the ocean to escape her mother, her betrothed, and her tribe’s expectations in order to make a go of independence on land. Chase, former Navy diver and self-appointed curmudgeon-who-isn’t-worthy-of-love, lost his brother in a freak diving accident and now fears the ocean he once loved.
When a hurricane threatens, they have to work together to save everything they’ve worked so hard to build. With Mari’s betrothed on the rampage over a centuries-old vendetta, the storm isn’t the worst thing they’ll have to face.

About Kerry Adrienne:
Repped by the fabulous Marisa Corvisiero with the Corvisiero Literary Agency. http://www.corvisieroagency.com/
Kerry loves history and spends large amounts of time wondering about people who lived and walked on Earth in the past. She’s a mom to three daughters, six cats, and various small animals. Her husband says she’s a marketer’s dream, as she often believes everything she hears—at least initially. Her shoe horde will attest to her fine shopping skills.
In addition to writing, Kerry loves to sew (costumes and cosplay, especially), draw, paint, make chainmail, and play guitar.
Her new love is her Mini Cooper Convertible, Sheldon, and they have already gone on many adventures. They travel to as many concerts as they can–especially Green Day and Marilyn Manson.
You can visit her much-neglected costuming blog here: http://cloakandcostume.blogspot.com/ Maybe she’ll have time to update it soon.

New Release: Knights of Stone: Lachlan by Lisa Carlisle
Knights of Stone: Lachlan
by Lisa Carlisle
Find it at Amazon | B&N | iBooks | Kobo
As the new alpha of his gargoyle clan, Lachlan takes on a leadership role at the historic peace talks between the wolf shifters and tree witches. Cooperation is crucial to their survival. The magical veil over the Isle of Stone is weakening. But unity is hard to achieve when tensions are running high. So is Lachlan’s concentration when a sexy wolf shifter rushes to the talks. Her wild beauty is mesmerizing.
Raina has her hands full with pack problems, from pack mates succumbing to blood lust to animosity toward her species. The source of her problems is clear-the gargoyles. If they hadn’t lured the humans to the island with their unconventional rock concerts, she wouldn’t have to deal with the fallout. She wants nothing to do with them, especially their alpha. His not-so-surreptitious glances are hard to miss. Nope. Not the kind of attention she needs. She’s heard rumors of the rebellious, attention-seeking rockers–and of their endless string of females.
But when humans come to investigate the wolf attacks, Lachlan and Raina must work together to coerce them off the island. And time spent together sparks a forbidden attraction. If unexpected love were their only problem, they’d be able to deal with it. It’s not. Time is running out, for them and their island.
