On the surface she's a cute and feisty blonde, a slender pocket rocket fitness coach. But Cassiopeia Lake has a secret; she's really a force of nature – an elemental.
Water sprite, Cassie, has lived undisturbed in her native Scottish loch for eons. Now, one encounter too many with modern plumbing has driven her to live in human guise along with her selkie boyfriend, Euan. It’s all going fine - until a nerdy magician captures Cassie to be an unwilling component in his crazy dangerous experiment.
Escape is only Cassie’s first challenge.
She’s smitten by her fellow prisoner, the scorching hot fire elemental, Gloria. But how do you love someone you can never touch?
And what do you do when your boyfriend starts to hero-worship your persecutor? Not to mention that tricky situation of being the prize in a power contest between two rival covens of witches.
So when Gloria’s temper erupts and she sets out to murder the magician, can Cassie keep her loved ones safe from the cross-fire, or will she be sucked into the maelstrom of deadly desires and sink without trace?

Happy Holidays!
I recently released by debut novel, The Reporter and The Girl. Based on my award-winning blog of the same name. Its not your typical love story, as it feels more like real life than fantasy. I'm looking for reviewers here are some links to the book:

Sarah McCarthy was in love and she was happy. She only wished that the love of her life would be more open with her about his past. Or she'd thought that was what she wanted, until the night that's Mark's past slammed headlong into their future. Mark Outlaw was an odd man. He was tall and handsome, and strangely, always alone. He never speaks to anyone, but for good reason. He has a secret to keep...he doesn't really exist. Mark is actually just a creation...a guard of a man named Juvenile of Ammon. A human/demon/angel hybrid, Juvenile was a breed unto himself. He was born from a Divine prophecy that made him destined to become a weapon of Hell and destroy Heaven itself. It was a prophecy he'd sworn to himself never to fulfill. Mark's job was to keep Juvenile locked inside a cell in their shared mind; to be the barrier between Juvenile and the outside world, and then Juvenile met Sarah. When Sarah was put in harm's way because of Juvenile's past, Mark knew that she would either be their salvation or their undoing. Would Mark be able to hold onto to Juvenile or would he lose him, sending Juvenile spiraling uncontrollably into a future he had spent over two thousand years running from?

Mona's tale is done and dusted, (but far from over, watch out for more from her late next year) and the spotlight is now on Marina. And the clue's in the title. She's a bitch. But with a heart!

Marina has never taken the easy road. Why should she, when she prefers a storm to a perfect summer’s day? But even for her, Marina’s life is in a mess and she knows it.
Too many wrong decisions have put her life in danger and the only way to safety is to embrace the past. But Marina moves forward, steam-rolling ahead rather than focusing on the mistakes she’s made; the mistakes that have brought her to this point. And while she is happy with her head buried in the sand, Nathan Conroy won’t let her.
He loved her once, could love her again, but for her safety, even if it causes her to hate him, he’ll do anything to protect her from the mess she’s in.
From big city living to a huge ranch in the middle of nowhere, Marina’s safety comes at a price. But to her the physical danger is no less frightening than the peril to her heart.
Can she rewind ten years to right the wrongs she once made? And even though the future depends on it, can she unbend enough to do just that?

I´m from Argentina.
I´ve recently published my first science fiction book: EL SALTO CUANTICO (only spanish edition for now, but I hope to have the english one soon, if the circumstances allow it).
On my profile you can see my review, the trailer and of course, you have the first pages to read for free on AMAZON and B&N).
As I´ve said, it is a science fiction story about a trip in a distant future to the edge of the Solar System, which ends unexpectedly in a flop that gives rise to a peculiar is happening series of revelations. The ship is rescued by a civilization that is the harbinger of humanity, responsible for seeding Earth with her. Once in the new world, the astronauts discovered for an unexpected event, that these beings are not only responsible for grounds higher up but several events that marked the history along its development on our planet.
Enjoy it!

“You are free to go to your mosque, temples and churches,” was the refrain when Pakistan was born in 1947, but that all changed after the first Afghan war when Pakistan was plunged into a sectarian and extremist battleground. It all changed again when Karachi was set ablaze by gangland violence that forced a hapless government to take direction from the powerful Pakistan Army.
From the crowded streets of Karachi to the barren plains of tribal areas, a boy transforms himself from an average man into a precision soldier and superior intelligence operative bringing the fight to the Taliban’s backyard. Kamal Khan, born and raised in the conflict ridden tribal area, gives up his privileged family background to serve his nation in a war that will define Pakistan’s future.
The cold adrenaline, the fear of the unknown, the shadowy hands, and the cunning that surpasses a Sicilian mind... the game of espionage in South Asia comes to life in Agency Rules, the spy thriller that takes the battle to the Taliban in Pakistan.

He was only passing through...
David Dillahunt has spent the last few months backpacking through Britain and hopes to make it to Loch Ness for a bit of Nessie spotting before the weather turns cold. Instead, he finds himself in the quirky village of Glencreag, where a cranky old innkeeper named Angus convinces him to stay a few days.
A few days turn into a few more when David runs into the local Laird, Andrew McGuiver. Andrew is a mystery himself and David figures he'll be a lot more fun to solve than the Loch Ness Monster. Along the way, the two of them chase local legends, get caught up in controversy and slowly fall for one another. But Andrew's past and his own personal fears threaten their fledgling relationship. Can he put them behind him? And will David decide Andrew's worth staying for?

The Coolest Way to Kill Yourself is an unconventional romance novel.
Amazon reviews:

Interview with Rutgers University's RUckmakers:

______________________________
BACK COVER:
Okay. So no one actually kills themselves in this book.
The Coolest Way to Kill Yourself pulls you into the early 90's New York City rave scene, in all its chaotic, psychedelic glory. The narrator grabs you by your wrist and drags you behind two teenage lovers from New Jersey as they tumble through a whirlwind of reckless hedonism that eventually spirals into a dark, devastating world of drug addiction and heartbreak. As a teenager, Lynn cried, "No one is ever going to write something for me."
Nearly two decades later, in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Nicholas did just that. The gesture came too late for our unlikely heroine, but his heart was in the right place. A broken heart... but a true love. Reunited after years apart, Lynn and Nicholas embraced their love and sexuality, and embraced each other, despite troubled pasts, despite illness, despite all of their imperfections and mistakes. They shared the kind of honest and shameless connection that few have had the honor of knowing, and most would never understand.
"We're not hurting anyone. We're just living life without caring what anyone thinks about us."
"It's the coolest way to kill ourselves," Lynn said.
So turn the page, and pull the trigger.
What some people are saying...
"I used to think that I was a fairly liberal and open-minded person. But this world is truly a world outside my comprehension and comfort zone." - my sister-in-law.
"This will never be published." - my ex-wife.
"Are you crazy? I can't believe you are publishing this." - most of my friends.
"I love the fact that you are publishing this." - most of my cool friends.
"You have disgraced me." - my mother.
"Why is your mother so angry about your book? Make sure you shovel the snow from the driveway." - my father.


returns from covering the wars in Central America to bury his ex-wife, Palm
Springs TV reporter Robin Anderson, after her brutal murder. When Peter
discovers the local police refuse to investigate Robin's murder, he sets out with an old friend, retired cop Matt Banyon, to find her killer. They unearth secrets old and new - a shadow world of sex and drugs, political corruption, and a wealthy Cuban freedom fighter who may not be what he seems. In a final, cliff-hanging struggle, Peter faces his own demons - and death in a dark and empty place.

Check out the blurb to see if you might be interested:
This is not your typical rock star romance. For one, the “rock star” is a rapper. And not just any rapper. Trace is the hottest ticket in the music industry right now, regardless of which definition of ‘hot’ you choose.
Taryn Starr is not the girl-next-door who unknowingly meets a celebrity. Known as “America’s Sweetheart,” the reigning country music princess and world-renowned superstar knows exactly who Trace is…or does she?
Their worlds collide when the musicians whose paths were never destined to cross are forced by their joint record label to collaborate on a song. The sparks fly and ignite a fire that blazes hotter with every minute they spend together—for better or worse. One thing’s for certain, the two media magnets can’t deny their explosive chemistry, but will life in the spotlight ultimately bring Trace and Taryn together or force them apart?
***This contemporary romance new adult novel is for mature audiences. The language alone would make a sailor blush (the guy’s a rapper, remember?) so 18+ only, please.


It's about four college students who go on vacation, but a nuclear explosion ruins everything.
I'd provide a link, but for some reason, searching for the book title, or even my exact name turns up completely unrelated results.
(Did I piss off a librarian, or is this normal?)

Hey, Edward! I'm not a librarian but . . . I sussed out what you meant, and you're right! The "add book/author" tool didn't go anywhere near a hit for you.
However, I went to your book page here on GR, and just pasted the link. Seems okay:

Do the same [paste URL] for your Amazon, Kobo, Smashwords pages, etc., - maybe in a fresh post. Hope this helps. Sorry I couldn't solve your cover-pasting problem.

But, hey, gotta ask: *Is* it a romance? Just curious, as this is the romance page. The novel sounds awesome, but wanted to make sure we're your audience!

Oops!
Thanks, Roberta! For your compliment and for telling me where I'm at. lol I completely didn't notice I was in a romance section. I don't know how I managed to do that.
The book is not a romance, but there's romance in it, if that helps. :)

Hey, you're talking to the girl who thinks Die Hard is the most romantic movie ever! *sniff* Everything's a romance.

That's funny! I don't even think there's a female in the movie, except McLane's wife on the phone. lol
If you'd like to read In The End (with far more romance in it) let me know and I'll message you a gift code for Amazon. You just might enjoy the combination of romance/action. :)

[And I think you're thinking of Die Hard with a Vengeance. I was thinking the original, in Nakatomi Tower and wife rescuing and all - "Holly! HOLLY!" It's my favourite Xmas movie, too.]
