MJ Fredrick On Her Love for Post-apocalyptic Entertainment
Please welcome MJ Fredrick to the blog!
My husband and I LOVE entertainment with post-apocalyptic themes. I think the first book we both fell in love with in the genre was The Stand, which remains my favorite Stephen King book. Good vs. Evil, man vs. man, though there are supernatural elements at play.
We’re mad fans of The Walking Dead, both the graphic novels and the show. We recently re-watched World War Z, which I understand is WAY different from the book, but was still so good.
My husband just finished playing a video game called The Last of Us, which was really interesting, because it was a lot like a movie. Sure, you make some decisions, but all of them lead you down a particular path.
What was particularly interesting in this game was that while there were zombies, they didn’t seem to be the biggest threat. The biggest threat was what other humans would do to survive. This game is dark, y’all. My husband had days where he could only play it for a few minutes because it was so intense. It really made you ask yourself what you’d do in those situations.
We loved the show Jericho, again with the man vs man theme, and the movie Independence Day, though that was more about bringing people together.
I love Hunger Games, and even more? The Life As We Knew It series by Susan Beth Pfeffer. That book is in my head YEARS after I read it. It’s about the moon being struck by an asteroid and knocked out of orbit, and the effects on Earth, all from the POV of one girl (first book) and one boy (second book.) I’ve not read the third yet, and I understand there’s a fourth. Really great story, though.
I had all these things in my head when I was writing Eden’s Promise, my first post-apocalyptic book set after a terrorist attack knocks out the infrastructure. I wanted to keep the man vs man theme, so there are no paranormal elements, just a study of how I think certain people would act in certain situations.
My heroine is Eden, who lives on an island off the northwest coast and whose father is a doomsday prepper, something she’s grateful for when the worst happens. But what he does to protect his supplies bothers her. But when she travels to the mainland in search of her sister, she knows why he’s done what he’s done.
What about you? Do you like post-apocalyptic stories? Do you like the ones with supernatural elements, or not? What’s your favorite post-apoc book, movie or show?
The world has gone to hell after a terrorist attack sends the world back to nineteenth 
century technology. But on an island off the coast of Oregon, Eden McKay’s small town is safe and sound. But when Eden’s ill mother wants to see her other daughter before she dies, Eden must leave the safety of her home to find the sister she hasn’t seen in four years.
The only one to help her is Aaron Jenkins, the Navy SEAL who’s just made his way to the island after months of fighting his way across the mainland. After what he’s seen on the mainland, all he wants is the peace of his family’s home. He doesn’t want responsibility for himself, much less another person. But he can’t let Eden go on her own. She’s determined, but she’ll never survive on her own.
Together they set off for the mainland, where wild dogs and mercenaries are the least of their problems, where they have to fight a mad man and search for a needle in a haystack, where the danger is not just to their well-being, but to their hearts.
MJ Fredrick knows about chasing dreams. Twelve years after she completed her first novel, she signed her first publishing contract. Now she divides her days between teaching elementary music, and diving into her own writing–traveling everywhere in her mind, from Belize to Honduras to Africa to the past.
She’s a four-time Golden Heart Award finalist, and she won the 2009 Eppie Award with Hot Shot and the 2010 Eppie with Breaking Daylight.
You can find her online (most of the time, actually) on her blog, on Facebook, on Twitter, and even at Pinterest.
A big thanks to MJ Fredrick for guest blogging today!

An emotional moment on #MostWantedMonday – Wanted by J. Kenner
Here’s a new #MostWantedMonday excerpt as we countdown to the January 7 release of Wanted by J. Kenner, book one in the Most Wanted series of erotic romances that wilI be followed by Heated in May and Ignited in September!
I hope you enjoy this week’s snippet!
“Evan.” My voice was barely a whisper, as if volume might push him out the door. “We both want it. I do, and I know you do, too.”
He stood up, then turned to look at me. I dragged the covers up to my neck, needing to keep at least part of me hidden. I’d already exposed too much of myself to him.
“Don’t you?” I pleaded when he said nothing. My voice was laced with a note of insecurity, and I hated myself for it. I watched the expressions shift across his face like clouds upon the wind, and fear slashed through me. “You’re not seriously going to stand there and tell me I’m wrong? I felt it, Evan. I felt you.”
His expression was flat, but his eyes were like a storm when they met mine. “I have done and will do a lot of things that you probably find reprehensible. But I will never, never, lie to you.”
I shook my head, confused and wary.
“Last night was a mistake,” he said, and with that single word, I understood everything. Whatever he’d seen in me—whatever he’d wanted—I’d managed to destroy it. I was dragonbait—some weak female who needed rescuing. But it wasn’t a princess that Evan Black wanted. It never had been.
“A mistake,” I repeated dully. I thought of the way I’d felt in his arms. The way I’d slept through the night. The way I’d felt whole for the first time in a very long time.
Yeah, maybe that was a mistake. Because he’d given me peace—and I damn sure didn’t deserve it.

Sizzling new snippet on #MostWantedMonday – Wanted by J. Kenner
Welcome to an all new #MostWantedMonday as we countdown to the January 7 release of Wanted by J. Kenner, book one in the Most Wanted series of erotic romances that wilI be followed by Heated in May and Ignited in September!
I hope you enjoy this week’s sexy new snippet!
I looked at his face and I knew without a doubt that I could fall with Evan. If he would make the jump with me, I was absolutely certain that he wouldn’t let me get hurt. He’d said it himself—he knew how to keep control. And I so desperately wanted to let go of it.
“Evan.” That one soft word was like taking a match to dynamite, and I saw the fire ignite inside him.
“Jesus, Angie.” His arm snaked around my waist and he pulled me close. I pressed against him, so hot with need it’s a wonder I wasn’t reduced to ashes. I felt the hard length of his erection against my thigh and thought I might cry, simply from the knowledge that he was as desperate for me as I was for him.
I’d truly never felt anything like this. As if each vein, each hair, each atom inside me existed for no purpose other than to spread pleasure through me. So much pleasure that I wasn’t sure I could withstand the force of it. This was everything I’d wanted. Everything I’d imagined I would feel when Evan finally touched me. But it was so fast and so hard and so overwhelming that I was on the verge of exploding.
Either that or stripping off my clothes and pulling him down to the floor right then and there.
And that probably wasn’t the most prudent of plans.
Breathing hard, I backed away, increasing the space between our bodies. I saw the question on his face, the dark disapproval at our broken connection, and before that could shift to regret, or prudence or responsibility, I moved back to him, pressing my body against his torso and my hands over his ass. For the first time, it registered with me that he’d changed clothes. The tuxedo was gone. The man in front of me wore simple Levis and an even simpler white t-shirt that exposed the vine tattoo that encircled his upper arm.
He looked young and hot and completely fuckable, and once again I was blown away by the fact that he was here. With me. A very literal fantasy come true.

It’s All about the Guys by Natalie J. Damschroder
Please welcome Natalie J. Damschroder to the blog!
Before LOST came on the air, I watched hardly any TV at all. Since then, however, I’ve become a true couch potato. And while I’ve loved (and devoured) female-driven shows like Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, and Revenge, when a show grabs me—really grabs me, so that I’m thinking about it at random times and can’t wait for it to come back on TV—it’s almost always about the guys.
The most recent example that prompted me to consider this as a blog topic is Tom on Falling Skies. This show on TNT is about a band of survivors fighting off aliens who have tried to take over the planet. Tom is a former history professor who rises through the military ranks and turns into a powerful leader. He’s not a studly soldier type, though. Not muscly-hot and rugged. He’s a dad driven by emotion more than cold strategy. That made him hard to forget.
But he was far from the first. I really fell for Michael and Lincoln in Prison Break. The things Michael was willing to do to save his brother—rob a bank to go to jail and then break him out—made for incredibly compelling TV. Wentworth Miller played him with deep emotion, and Dominic Purcell matched him despite the very different kind of character he played.
I guess I have to admit brothers are big grabbers for me. Sam and Dean on Supernatural have that same willingness to die for each other. You can’t find a more masculine guy on TV than Dean Winchester, but every decision he makes is out of love.
*sigh*
Oh! How can I write about this topic without mentioning Auggie Anderson on Covert Affairs? I mean, the guy is a spy and a soldier and a tech whiz and he’s blind. Christopher Gorham plays him with such tough vulnerability, it’s heartbreaking.
This is common with books, too. Mention Roarke, Joe-and-Ranger, Reyes, Ash, or a dozen others and you’ll get swoons and sighs all over the Internet.
So who has captured your attention this way?
Book 2 in the Goddesses Rising Trilogy
by Natalie J. Damschroder
Paranormal Romantic Adventure
Entangled Publishing, August 27, 2013
ISBN 13: 978-1622668908
The world is not what Riley Kordek imagined. On the run from those who’ve targeted her, all Riley wants is a chance to figure out her new ability to bend metal’s energy. When a hot guy who knows more than he should helps her escape her attackers, she thinks she might’ve found someone who can lead her to the answers she needs.
Three years ago, Sam Remington walked away from his employer and the woman he loved, and now, all he’s looking to do is fill the gaping hole left behind. Except, when Sam takes Riley to the Society for Goddess Education and Defense, the stakes rise beyond what either of them could have imagined.
After being alone for so long, falling for Sam would be far too easy—and far too painful, once his old flame calls needing his help. Worse, Riley uncovers a plot with disastrous ramifications not only for herself, but for Sam and the people he loves—and potentially every goddess in the country.

Finding Inspiration and Pyramids in Belize by Loucinda McGary (and a free book giveaway!)
Please welcome Loucinda McGary to the blog!
Where do you get your ideas? This is a question I’m asked quite often, and I always answer honestly, “Everywhere.” In truth, I never know what might turn into a story idea. I might be inspired by a piece of music, a picture, a scrap of conversation, just about anything. My latest release, New Year’s Endeavor was inspired by a pyramid.
In September, 2011 my hubby and I went on a seven day cruise out of New Orleans to Belize, Roatan, Honduras and Cozumel, Mexico. I’d never been to that part of the world before and I was anxious to see Mayan ruins ‘up close and personal.’
We booked an all-day excursion from Belize City to the ruins at Altun Ha. This site was occupied by the Mayans from 900 BC until about 1000 AD and at its peak, had a population of 10,000 inhabitants. Of course, the most impressive things about the site are the three enormous step-pyramids with a fourth still being excavated.
Threatening clouds and ominous thunder greeted us when we arrived. After a short hike through the trees, we emerged in a wide, grassy field ringed by these amazing stone pyramids, the tallest over fifty feet from top to bottom. The guides tried to hurry our group along before the storm hit, but we were all so awe-struck that we had a hard time tearing ourselves away. Fat rain drops forced my hubby and me to run for our tour bus, and we arrived moments before the real downpour started.
As often happens, I found myself looking at those fantastic sights and thinking how much I’d love to include them in a story someday. Unfortunately, I always have many more ideas than I have time to write. However, when I sat down to write the third installment of my Adventure Cruise Line series, I knew the time was right for me to include the Mayan pyramids at Altun Ha.
I tried to include everything, even the torrential rain, so that my readers can experience this amazing place right along with my characters. Here’s a brief excerpt to pique your interest:
Josh and Mason caught up with the rest of the group as they left the marker and walked through a gate. Falling in step beside Tammy, they stopped short along with the rest of their group when the jungle opened into a football field sized clearing flanked by two enormous step pyramids. Mason gasped, and Josh could see that even Dillon looked awestruck. Their female tour guide gave a brief account of the Mayan culture and everything they knew about this particular site. A huge clap of thunder interrupted her explanation of the archeological activities still happening at another partially excavated pyramid on the far side of the larger of the other two. Tammy jumped at the unexpected loud noise, and the blonde twins squealed.
“I better let you explore the pyramids before it starts raining again.” The guide made a sweeping gesture. “Please don’t climb very high and be careful. The stones are wet and slippery….”
“C’mon, Dill!” Mason shouted as he dashed off in the opposite direction.
Josh saw his mother with her sketch pad and pencil, drawing like crazy and flipping pages…
New Year’s Endeavor is a novella and the third story in the Adventure Cruise Line series. A contemporary romance, it is currently available in ebook format on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. For more information please visit me on Facebook!
What are some awe-inspiring places you’ve visited? Are there any you’d like to read about?
Thanks so much for inviting me to blog with you today! I’ll give away a free download of New Year’s Endeavor to one randomly chosen commenter.
Thank you Loucinda!

Take Me will be available December 3, and you’ll even get to meet Evan Black in the story! (No pre-order button yet, but I’ll shout out when it’s up!)
And, in honor of Take Me, I’ll be starting #StarkOnSaturday again soon, too!
That’s all for now!
