Haedyn’s Choice Virtual Book Tour
Haedyn’s Choice starts a Virtual Book Tour today! I’m very excited and the best part – I don’t even have to change out of my pajamas. How cool is that?
Thanks to Reading Addiction Blog Tours, I don’t have to dress up or drive to places unknown. I don’t have to worry 
about wearing comfortable shoes or making sure I have pens that work. I don’t even need to make sure I sign my name legibly. All I need to do is hang out at the blog sites that are hosting my book. And I can totally do that without makeup. SWEET!

Haedyn’s Choice is releasing May 15th!
The date has been set – Haedyn’s Choice is releasing May 15th!
That’s right around the corner; only 16 days away. I can’t wait. I’m so excited. And nervous. And scared. And happy. I’m all those rolled up into one crazy package.
Hell, I’m so excited that I created a Facebook only event for launch day so that everyone to celebrate with me. (As if anyone really needs a reason to party! lol)
If you haven’t joined up yet, just click HERE and then hit join. There will lots of fun, virtual drinks, and the best part – GIVEAWAYS!! I’m offering two signed paperback copies, a few eBook copies, key chains, posters, and even a bracelet similar to the one Haedyn wears in the story. It is going to be so much fun!
Have I ever mentioned how impatient I am? Seriously, I have no patience whatsoever. I totally want to publish it right now, like right this instant. But I can’t, I have to hold out until the 15th.
However, what I CAN do is show you the cover and let you read the description.
HAEDYN’S CHOICE
There’s always a choice.
The demon Azazel knows an opportunity when he sees one. That’s why he took the Unnamed abomination, Haedyn, under his wing and honed her skills. Now she’s a predator, like him, but far more dangerous because she holds the potential to wield great power. The kind that humans and supernatural creatures alike will bow down to worship. The kind that will let him create his army of evil-born souls without challenge. And when the full moon rises and a human’s rare blood is spilled, Haedyn will be the key to unlocking hell on earth.
Former investigative reporter Lexington Carter saw his brother murdered by vampires, but no one would believe him. Now it’s his mission to learn everything there is about monsters, how to kill them, and what happens to their victims. But when he’s kidnapped by a super-human albino chick who claims she’s protecting him, he realizes that not all supernatural creatures are monsters and there might be one that’s worth saving.
Haedyn is the last Unnamed and Azazel’s personal assassin – his most prized servant. It’s not a title she wants, but it keeps her alive and that’s all that matters. But when she is tricked into protecting Lex, the same human her master is hunting, she learns of Azazel’s terrifying plan to create an army of evil souls – and that Lex isn’t the only one slated for sacrifice.
Can Haedyn accept the truth of her past and face the demon who molded her in his image, or will she risk the losing the souls of those she loves?
So what do you think? Want more?
If so, you’ll really want to sign up for my newsletter, Updates from Behind the Quill because this Friday, I’m offering up the first chapter to subscribers only! The sign up link is at the top right hand side of the page or you can click on the “Contact” menu item at the top. (I promise I won’t give your email address out and I won’t spam you, either.)
Hope to see you all on May 15th for the launch party!

A Faery Hunter and an Ancient King – The Iron Locket by Samantha Warren
“She was raised to hunt faeries. He was raised from the dead.”
Intriguing, isn’t it? That’s the tag line for Samantha Warren’s latest novel, The Iron Locket. I was fortunate enough to be a beta reader for this book and I loved it. Very rarely do I get sucked into a book enough that I dream about it but I did this one.
What happens when you combine faeries, knights, and humans? War, chaos, and love. The Iron Locket by Samantha Warren is now available. Grab your copy today!
For two straight nights, I dreamed about knights, faeries, and being sucked into portals. It was crazy!
But enough about my overly active imagination, let’s talk about this story.
I am a huge King Arthur fan, so when Samantha told me about this book – I knew I had to read it. This isn’t your typical story of Arthur and his most trusted knights battling it out in medieval times. On the contrary, it’s set in the present and the king and his crew have to do a little adjusting to modern-day ways. Especially when dealing with the Faery Queens.
I was a little leery about the faeries, I’ll admit. But then I found out the main character, Aiofe, hunts rogue faeries that enter the human world. How freaking cool is that? Seriously, that is my new costume for Halloween!
So, now I’ve got a Faery Hunter and an Ancient King, all rolled up in one book. And the bad guys? Oh, they are sooo bad – you’ll love them. This book brings you into the land of Faery and has you roaming around castles, fighting alongside the Knights of the Round Table and mingling with the Four Faery Queens.
And the ending… well, you’ll just have to read it to find out!
Here’s the description:
She was raised to hunt faeries. He was raised from the dead.
Aiofe Callaghan comes from a long line of faery hunters. Hired by one of the faery queens, they protect the human world from chaos and destruction. But when Aiofe stumbles through an open door into the land of Faery, she discovers the job isn’t as simple as it seems, and neither is she.
Arthur Pendragon spent centuries in blissful nothingness, until the day the four queens banded together to raise him from the dead. Along with his twelve most talented knights, he leads the warring armies of Faery against the greatest enemy they have ever known: one of their own.
Can they overcome their differences to confront the greatest challenges either of them have ever faced?

Read an Ebook Week: Try THE DARKENING
It’s Read an Ebook Week! That’s right. Sunday, March 3rd kicked off an entire week dedicated to reading ebooks. I’m an advocate of reading regardless of the format, so I’ve got plenty of suggestions on books for you to snuggle up with this week.
For example, THE DARKENING, by Myndi Shafer. This is book two of the Shrilugh Saga and an excellent follow-up to her first novel.
Check out the description:
THE DARKENING (Book Two of the Shrilugh Saga)
This week only! Book 2 in the Shrilugh Saga is available HERE for only $2!! Grab it now!!
As Aydan Fulbert settles into her new life in a new world, she realizes a few things. She’s healing from losing Brig. She’s coming to terms with her new home. And she’s lonely.
Rein Torvald’s return from his long absence helps alleviate her loneliness, but a darkness comes with him. Unsettling news about her father and the Sovereign has the potential to make her a fugitive all over again – from his world and hers.
Will Aydan allow her heart to be taken places she’s never been brave enough to go? Or will the threat of danger – of the Sovereign’s rage, and her father’s vengeful grudge, send her running?
Doesn’t that sound AMAZING?! Wait, you haven’t read Shrilugh yet?

A Date for Valentine’s Day
Still trying to find a date for Valentine’s Day? Or maybe you’re just sick of all the hub-bub about that good, old cherub flying around shooting arrows at unsuspecting victims. Either way, I can totally hook you up on Valentine’s Day.
No really, I can.
And the best part – you don’t even have to leave home. You can rock the Hello Kitty pajamas with your hair sticking out everywhere if you want. Heck, you don’t even have to shave!
I see that look. You’re thinking: “What kind of crazy date is she trying to hook me up with?”
The kind that won’t forget your name, look at other people while you’re talking, or leave you stranded with the bill at the restaurant. The kind of date that makes you forget all your worries and lets you escape into another time and place. The kind of date that introduces you to people and places that you’ll never forget.
I’m talking about setting you up on a blind date with a book. And not just any book – but the kind you love to read. And even better – it’s completely FREE.
That’s right. This Valentine’s Day over 30 authors have joined together are giving away their books for free. Samantha Warren created this fantastic event called the Valentine’s Day Book Date Giveaway and it’s going on RIGHT NOW on Facebook.
You could receive a book by talented authors such as Samantha Warren, Melinda VanLone, M.G Miller, Steven Montano, Liv Rancourt, Myndi Shafer, CC MacKenzie, Kirsten Weiss, and so many more!
All you have to do is click HERE or on the picture and join the event. Then just post a comment telling us what genre books you like to read, the kinds you don’t like to read, what digital format you prefer and your email. (Or tell us to contact you through Facebook for that info if you don’t want to post it.)
Then on Valentine’s day, you will be “matched” up with a book in the genre you like, but we aren’t going to tell you what one it is. (This is a blind date after all!) You’ll meet your “book date” when the author sends it directly to your email address.
How cool is that? Not only do you get a FREE book but the actual author is the one that’s gonna send it to you!
So what are you waiting for?
Let yourself fall in love this Valentine’s Day… with a book!
