            Moon Kissed Musings: 
The title of this book, Moon Kissed Musings, not only invokes tales of trials and tribulations of the heart but brings a unique perspective to the table. According to Tracy Seiden, love takes an arduous journey through rhyme, free, and blank verse. The compositions of these poems provide manifestations of feelings via thoughts, via words onto paper, a conveyance of ordinary words pulling you into a myriad of emotions. This is prevalent in an excerpt of the piece Second Chances. "Her thoughts raced through the back roads of her memories kicking up dust and pebbles threatening to crack the windshield in her mind's eye. Her imagination ran wild, nearly unchecked frolicking through the past, present like some half wild five-year-old in a candy store." Seiden's work portrays a conflict between vulnerability and acceptance placing her within a world of complexities and uncertainties. Vivid pictures are painted throughout to create a literary mosaic. The reader will gain an understanding of an author that's bearing her soul, yearning for a happy ending and fulfillment.

Release BoostTitle: Relentless: A Bad Boy RomanceAuthor: Lauren LandishRelease Date: April 19, 2016         Protecting her would normally be nothing for a man like me . . . When assigned as a bodyguard for Adriana Bertoli, I knew I was in for a world of trouble. With her fiery-red hair, sparkling green eyes, milky white skin, and lush, curvaceous body, she's a damn knockout. But she also happens to be the niece of one of the most powerful mob bosses in the Seattle-Tacoma area, Don Carlo — my boss. And he’s made it clear that none of his men are to lay a finger on her. The man to have that honor would have to be perfect — a warrior and a saint. But sadly, I was no saint. It should be an easy order to follow. After all, I owed everything to the man, and I’d be nothing without him. But every moment in Adriana’s presence is pure temptation. The longer I'm with her, the more I want her, and I fear it won't be long before I betray the man who's like the father I never had.   Add to Goodreads Amazon   Lauren Landish is a young, best-selling author of Romance.

Synopsis:

You can be the strongest amongst many but it only takes one person to break you. Each year I end it thinking a change is going to come. It had to come.Only the last eight years I've clearly offended the devil somehow as he's decided to pile some form of crap on my shoulders since the year I turned eighteen. Loss, betrayal, fears - I have been through it all. Life can change in an instance, ripping out your heart and soul and leaving you the shell of the person you once were. A shell that simply cannot be fixed.
After years of suffering from the loss of her mother and the betrayal of two men, Amelia thought she was damaged for life.

They hurt her in every possible way. That was until she found herself in the arms of a stranger. His generosity was foreign to her; his ability to make her trust was overwhelming. Finally, as her life took a turn for the better, Amelia could see a future and a possibility of a happy ending she so desperately craved.

About The Author

Kate has lived in South West England her entire life just on the edge of Dartmoor where the moorland goes on for days. It's beautiful, breathtaking and occasionally rather wet. 
Growing up as a kid, writing was never her course of direction as she disliked everything about it due to being dyslexic. However, overtime she got back into reading/writing and fell in love with adult romances. Then one day two characters etched their way into her mind and didn't show any signs of leaving - the rest is history.
She has a love/hate relationship with chocolate and the weekends are not the same without a vodka in hand. She's a sucker for a heart fluttering romance and can't help but go weak at the knees for a guy with a five o'clock shadow. ;-)

Tell a little about yourself. (short bio)
I'm a father, husband, NYPD Detective, Author, and personal trainer. I'm a person who wants to leave a lasting, positive difference in the world.
What can you tell us about your books?
I put my heart and soul in every book. I believe art imitates life, so when fans read my books, I want to challenge them with stories that will make them think. With all of my books, my goal is to stir the readers emotions. 
What genre do you write and why?
I write African American Fiction/Urban Fiction and Contemporary Romance. I write in those genres because I feel they're broad enough for me to write realistic stories. I try to write novels where a majority of people can relate to the situations and characters.
If a fiction writer, is any part of your book based on events in your life?
All of my books have a part of me in them. "Monster" was semi-fictional. 90% of it was true, with a lot of characters, situations, and names were changed around to protect the actual people they were based on. A part of the character design for "Samantha" in my novel "Wounded" was based on a family member of mine as well as numerous women I've met in life. In "Love and Happiness", both Chris and Karen have parts of me in their character design. After interviewing a lot of women to get the "voice" down for Karen, I feel she has such a diverse personality because she was based on lots of women. I feel when an author puts parts of his soul in his work, the readers can feel the emotion in the book and it makes it easier to connect.
What was the greatest challenge you faced with publishing your work?
One of the most significant challenges I'm facing now is convincing readers that not all African American Fiction/Urban fiction book are about drug, baby mama drama, gangs, or crime. I feel that sometime African America fiction is viewed as the "reality tv show." of literature when many stories within the genre are deeper than that. Sometimes its very hard for me to find reviewers and bloggers to give my novels a chance because of the stigma that comes with the genre. While it can be frustrating, I know the best way to change people is by doing it one at a time. I try to alter the opinions of every reviewer I meet with my work.
You are a three time Reader's Favorite International Award Winner. Tell us a little about that and will you be going for a fourth this year? 
I'm a big believer and fan of Reader's Favorite. They were the first book award competition that I won. Even though my first novel "Monster" was received well by readers, I wasn't completly confident in my skill as a writer. Winning that competiton helped me to not only gain recognition, but it also gave me the confidence to continue to write. I've been blessed to win the competition for three straight years, and I cherish it every time I win. I'm hoping to go for a fouth this year when I enter my next novel "Daddy's girl." 
Do you have an interesting writing quirk?
I'm very weird when it comes to writing. I don't follow an outline, everything is mapped out in my head. I constantly rewrite and edit while I'm writing, which is considered a big writers no-no. I have a weird Quentin Tarrintino approach to writing my books. I write the parts as they come to me. It could be the middle of the book, the end of the book, it doesn't matter. As I write more of the book, I make evolve to fit together with the parts that I've previously written.
Do you have a favorite author or book?
My favorite author is Eric Jerome Dickey. His books as well as Richard Wright's Native son, are the reasons why I am an author today. I've been blessed with speaking to Eric Jerome Dickey personally and he has been a good mentor to me. I was honored when my favorite author was one of the first people to support first novel "Monster,"
