Revival - M.K. Gilher

It's complicated. My Italian-shoed stranger captures my mind and body yet only allows glimpses into the depth of the secrets he holds. He's a surgeon, he's a cage fighter, he's possibly a murderer. He's not a good boy. I feel as if I know him, yet I know I don't. Dr. Jacade J. Jordan, my enigmatic sex god on a stick.

Damn, she's delectable. My sweet Ivy. I want to eat her alive. But how can I possess her when she doesn't even know me? When the secrets run too deep? When I've killed for her and would do it again in a heartbeat? How can I watch her submit so perfectly when I am the one at her feet?

Gothic Gates - R.M. Simone

GOTHIC GATES
Steamy, Sensual, Sumptuous series by Author R.M.Simone'

Excerpt:::..
“Hello Dearie, what is the problem?  Can I help you find something?  You seem lost?”

I took in a deep breath feeling foolish standing there holding the package of music.  “Well I am a courier delivery and was just let in and he told me to pick out a costume to deliver the package to the host.  Really this is not what I had in mind and it was to just deliver this.’  I began rambling and felt out of place.

“It’s okay, the host has his ways.  Look let me help you 'Dearie'.  Now what do you have on under your clothes?  Any sexy lingerie’?”   She began rummaging through things grabbing this and that.

I began to unbutton my blouse realizing I was on some kind of ride to just get through this. Get the job done.  Under my blouse I forgot I had on a black long waisted strapless bra.  She saw it and smiled.  I was really just numb with this entire event.

“Good, that will work perfectly.  We are all wearing black, it is so Goth you know.”  Next thing I knew she asked me to take off my Levi’s kicking off my shoes she searched for a tight fitting slinky skirt.  Slit up one long side of it reminding me to slide off my panties.

“What do you mean take off my panties?
I just came to deliver this package.”

From the Author

In 2002 I was diagnosed with having Postpartum Depression after the birth of our second child. Throughout a span of 9 years I was diagnosed with everything from Postpartum Depression to Major Depressive Disorder. This mainly had to do with the fact that I only sought help when my depression was at it's lowest point.

It wasn't until I was pregnant with our seventh child that I sought the help of our local Emergency Room. It was there that I was sent to a psychiatrist who after 2 hours of discussing the last 20 years of my life with my husband and therapist that the diagnosis was made that I had Bipolar Disorder.

It took me a year to accept the fact that I indeed had this illness and it was time to reach out and help others who were experiencing the same things I was experiencing. I started a blog 3 years ago called Moorestorms Bipolar Parenting. Throughout the years that blog has gone through many transformations and is now Mothering Through Bipolar. I want to reach out to moms who are living with this illness and offer them comfort, encouragement and support. There is always hope and during our darkest times we forget that. I want to be there to help them through that time and offer them the support they need.

About the Author

Snow White’s a goth and Prince Charming’s a jerk! (Katherine McIntyre)

Snow White’s a goth and Prince Charming’s a jerk.
On Neve’s eighteenth birthday, her stepmother kicks her out. A group of diner rats offer her refuge—including Brendan, who offers his couch for her to crash on. But the more time she spends with him, the more he confuses her. One second, he’s kissing her. The next he’s pushing her away.

Believing her life has reached rock bottom, Neve struggles to ditch her “damaged girl” label. But when she uncovers the truth about her life, she’s rocked to her very foundation. Will Neve be able to hold on to the good things coming her way, or will her bad luck poison everything?

Excerpt:

Neve knew this day would come. She’d been dreading it the past year, wondering what would happen and, for the life of her, unable to hazard a guess as to where the future would take her. After spending the past weeks worrying and hours in front of her computer screen talking to Internet strangers who had given her little useful advice, she’d grown wearier each day. At last, it had arrived—her eighteenth birthday.

Tugging at the spiked collar around her neck, she stole a glance at the front door of the house she’d grown up in. The peach siding created a gorgeous contrast to the stucco walls and the dark-brown roof tiles—a fairytale house in a fairytale suburban neighborhood. She rolled her eyes. Too bad life had been anything but.

She’d never wanted any of this, but such was life. Her dad hadn’t asked when he’d ditched. No, he’d pranced out of the closet and ran off with his lover, leaving her with Veronica.

Her neck itched from too much sun. She’d been out here two hours, pacing around her cul-de-sac one hundred thirteen times since she’d returned from her shift at the café and, so far, had accomplished nothing. Her stomach clenched with the stark hollowness of what would happen the moment she walked through that door. Inside, Veronica would be waiting. As much as she hated confrontation and knew in her gut trouble was brewing, she’d have to deal with her stepmother at some point and was better off handling this mess without a bad case of sunburn. Neve let out a weary sigh then trekked up the paved walkway to her front door. Time to face the beast.

About the Author:

Katherine McIntyre is an author of steampunk adventure, dark comedy, urban fantasy and paranormal romance stories. She splits her time writing and working the day job, but as for creative pursuits, she's dabbled in a little bit of everything.

A modern day Renaissance-woman, she's learned soapmaking, beer brewing, tea blending and most recently roasting coffee. The one constant from a very young age was her passion for reading and writing. For more casual content, she’s a regular contributor on CaffeineCrew.com, a geek news website.

With more imagination than she knows what to do with, writing proved to be the best outlet.

Tears of Crimson - Year in Review

From everyone at Tears of Crimson, we'd like to wish you the Happiest of New Years!  2014 was one of our best years ever, and it's all because of wonderful readers like you!  So many things have happened this year, and we'd like to take a chance to highlight them for our own memory capsule of sorts.  What better way to do that than with the friends of Crimson who made this journey possible?

Before that happens, we'd like you to know a little bit more about how this dream all came together.  In 2008, Michelle was laid off from her job in Respiratory Therapy.  Her husband was working full time, and they decided together that raising their youngest child who hadn't begun school yet was a better choice than looking for new employment.

Writing at that time was just a way to pass the free time Michelle now had, going from a 72 hour work week to stay at home mom.  In that first year she penned the original Tears of Crimson book, built from years of dreams she had.  The book didn't hit a bestseller list and only sold twenty copies in the first few months.  To Michelle this was like hitting the lottery though, because she never dreamed it was possible that anyone other than family or friends would want to read her material.

It would take her several more books before she made a profit on her craft, and it was a humble beginning that still meant she needed a job when the youngest went to school.  Then something miraculous happened, one of her books made it to the top 100 overall on Amazon.  Once she proved that this writing thing was more than just a way to pass time, a career outside the home became less likely.  Even her husband, who is and was one of those people that can only see black and white, started to believe that living a dream could actually work in supporting their family.

2014 proved that Michelle's writing was indeed a better choice than leaving the comfort of her home since she surpassed even her husbands generous salary after he'd worked for the same company for the last twenty years.  Thanks to wonderful readers like you, Michelle continues to bring new worlds of romance and in 2015, paranormal as well.  The original book she penned is getting a facelift and her vision for Tears of Crimson will be reimagined.  Contemporary Romance has been her love, and that won't be changing, but the paranormal romance will be an addition to those readers who've been there from the beginning.

With all that being said, 2014 was an incredible year, and everyone here at Tears of Crimson is just thrilled to have such a loyal family that we will always consider Friends of Crimson.

Tears of Crimson Love

If you haven't noticed, Tears of Crimson has gotten a new look and it's all in preperation for the Mardi Gras Book release of the new vision for Cara and Rafe.  The entire event centers around Fat Tuesday, February 17,2015.  Originally I had planned to run the Virtual Book Tour on my own, but I'm just slammed with other things that need my attention.  Thanks to my incredible friend, Brandy Dorsch, I discovered Girl's *Heart* Book Tours!  I've decided to hand over the promotional blast to them, and I hope you'll stop in and sign up.  If you have a blog, that's all you need.
The giveaway for a $100 Amazon Gift Card, is completely seperate, and nothing will change there. You can enter that by visiting the Rafflecopter link here.  If you stopped by the blog a few days ago, you'll also know that I've decided to work with Dahlia Salvatore for Jack's second book.  I've received hundreds of emails asking when that one would hit the shelf, and knew I needed a help to make it happen.  My computer was hit by a nasty little virus, and ended in the blue screen of death. New computer, and a fresh set of eyes for Jack, Talk about a busy week!
The second book for 1st, is also getting some love, but I'm not listing a release date for it yet.  I promise, as soon as I have more information on that date, I'll share it.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the inquiries I've gotten for future book releases, and you have my word that I'm working my fingers to the bone to give you the stories you crave.  
2015 is going to be another exciting year for Tears of Crimson, and myself as an author.  I hope you're holiday shopping is almost wrapped up and you're ready to enjoy time with family and friends as the best season of the year comes to life.  If you haven't noticed I'm a huge Christmas fan.  I'm working on a reference side for the new Tears book as a companion, and will offer it free of charge to readers of the series.  So busy, busy, busy.  It's not something you'll need to enjoy the story, but it will explain more about the characters and their beginnings.
Wherever your travels take you this holiday season, I am sending my love with you.  Be blessed, and a blessing to those around you.  I consider all of you one to me!  
Love,Michelle
