Characterfest interview #4 with Miakoda by Tina Carreiro

Please welcome Miakoda and Tina Carreiro

Today we have Miakoda Starr, the heroine from Tina Carreiro’s new release, Power of the Moon.

So, I guess I should open by asking what I should call you. I know you have name issues.

Mia: MY-A is fine. Thanks, for asking.

 How difficult is it to connect with the dead?

Mia: It’s not something I’m use to yet. I guess it’s more difficult because I don’t want to connect with the dead, so I shut down and block everything out.  

 Who is your closest friend?

 Mia: Cynthia. Although, she’s a little mad at me right now.  I have to buy her something Coach and beg for forgiveness. *rolls eyes* This Coach obsession of hers is out of hand. Beyond the purses, she has Coach shoes, iphone case, lipstick case, and wristlet. You name it she’s got it. I think she needs an intervention.

  You knew this question was coming so I’ll just ask it now, what’s up with Cole?

Mia: Well, it’s complicated.

Yeah… I didn’t ask for your Facebook status, I want to know what’s going on with Cole.

Mia: We’re getting there. *grins*

What’s your greatest talent?

Mia: *smirks* I think that’s yet to be seen.

What is your favorite activity?

Mia: Riding the elevator with Cole. *drops eyes and blushes*

Yes, I think we’d all like to ride the elevator with Cole.

Mia: Watch it, or I’ll make your aura twitch.

Jealous?

Mia: With a vengeance.

Who do you love?

 Mia: Cole, of course. *smiles*

Who makes you mad?

Mia: Cole, of course. I think he does it on purpose though. Oh, and mean people. I’ve been picked on all my life and I’ll never understand the need to be mean.

 What’s your favorite snack?

Mia: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.

 Favorite Color

 Mia: It use to be midnight blue, but since I met Cole, it’s amber. When he gets excited his eyes change to this beautiful color. It’s like someone is holding a light behind a precious brown stone. And then the look he gives me, wow it’s just---

*clears throat*

Mia: Oh, sorry. He has that affect on me.

Favorite Movie

Mia: Dracula, with Bela Lugosi.

Oh, yeah, that’s right… You have a Siamese cat named after Bela Lugosi.

Mia: Yes, and he has one eye. He’s adorable.

Any final words to those who have read about you?

Mia: Yes. You know, I have some hang-ups and, you don’t even know the half of my issues, yet. ;) Not everyone has smooth edges, some of us have rough ones.  I wanted to thank all the people that stuck with me until the end. You felt my fear, my tears, and my love for Cole.

Characterfest interview #3 with Astra by Sam Cleever

Astra's Interview with the Angel City Bugler

Astra Q Phelps recently did an interview for the Angel City Bugler, during which she gives readers some wonderful insights into how she got her start as a kick-butt demon slayer and all around tough Tweener.

* * * * *

R: Hello Astra, thank you for joining us today, we love your books and were hoping we could get to know you a little bit.

A: Hey! How’s it going? You got anything here that needs to be blown up or vanquished?

R: Uh, well, no, not really. I have an ex-husband… But no, forget I said that. I just wanted to chat with you for a few minutes.

A: You don’t want me to save the world?

R: Um, no, not right at this moment.

A: Oh good. Okay.

R: So, Astra, you certainly lead an exciting life. Vanquishing demons, fighting off devilishly handsome Royal Devil Princes, and saving the world, how does one get into this line of work?

A: It doesn’t hurt to be born a Tweener, with a powerful Seraphim for a father and an equally powerful Royal Devil as a mother. It’s not an easy gig you know.

R: I can imagine. Can you tell us what exactly a Tweener is?

Phantom Shadows Book Promo + Giveaway

Phantom Shadows

Dianne Duvall lures readers into a world of romance and suspense, where love can mean the difference between life and death. . .

Dr. Melanie Lipton is no stranger to the supernatural. She knows immortals better than they know themselves, right down to their stubborn little genes. So although a handsome rogue immortal seems suspicious to her colleagues, Sebastien Newcombe intrigues Melanie. His history is checkered, his scars are impressive, and his ideas are daring. But it's not his ideas that have Melanie fighting off surges of desire. . .
Bastien is used to being the bad guy. In fact, he can't remember the last time he had an ally he could trust. But Melanie is different--and under her calm, professional exterior he senses a passion beyond anything in his centuries of experience. Giving in to temptation is out of the question--he can't put her in danger. But she isn't asking him. . .

 Excerpt


Excerpt

She stared at him in silence for so long he began to feel a bit self-conscious. “You can feel other people's emotions?” she asked finally.
“Yes. And Stuart's told me he was lying to try to save his ass.”
Again she stared at him.
“What?” he asked when the silence stretched.
“You can feel my emotions? Right now?”
“No. I have to touch you to feel them.”
“So . . .”
He could see her considering it, trying to remember every time he had touched her or she had touched him. At the network. In her car. At David's. Trying to remember what she might have inadvertently revealed.
“You might have mentioned it. Given me a little warning.”
“Such didn't occur to me.”
More silence.

Now, as a malevolent wizard invokes a rogue Chaos dragon to terrorize the streets of New Orleans, she must join forces with her sworn enemy – an ultra-sexy dragonshifter – and face her past in order to save the humans. But can she save her heart from the dragon's charm?

Something for my followers to read from my heart

You know it’s amazing what authors will say behind your back. I started this blog just too keep my personal reviews, not for it to go this far. I never went to authors for reviews because I knew I had grammar issues. I’m just an ordinary average reader and human. I didn’t go through collage to be an editor. I started having followers and then all the sudden authors started coming to me to and asking for me to read and review their books, so what was I to do? I started reading their book and giving my honest opinion. Now after some gets huge they want throw me to the mud because of my grammar issues, well fine by me, but they know who came to whom first.

The blog will stay open and my reviewer will continue to review but I myself will not be taking any review request in for a while. I really need time to think.

Thanks

Length: Novel

Release date October 3, 2012

Lucky him, he found his mate. Just one teensy, tiny problem. She was already married to someone else.

Meeting the woman of his dreams would have worked a lot better if she didn’t already belong to another man. But Chris wasn’t about to let something like ‘until death do us part’ keep him from claiming his woman. He’ll do anything to win his mate, including throwing his attractive cousin at the pesky husband.

Despite the danger, and her marital status, Jiao can’t help falling for a handsome wolf. Honor says she should stay away, but her curious inner cat is flexing her claws and demanding they claim their man.

But Jiao isn’t the only one falling in love. When her husband finds himself head over heels with a she-wolf, will Sheng do the right thing and end the marriage sham? Or will the past catch up first and bite them?

Charcterfest Interview #1 with a Succubus name Pia by Annie Nicholas

Please welcome Pia and Annie!! 

Interview with a Succubus

Hi, I’m Annie Nicholas and I’ve dragged my current heroine along with me to hold my hand during this interview.

 I’m Pia Blyton and I’m forcing Annie to come out of her shell. Sort of…  (pushes Annie to the front of the class)

What? (blinks) I write paranormal romance and Pia is my succubus. Wait, not mine-mine, but my character in my new book.

(whispers) Starved for Love.

Starved for Love. She has three boyfriends—

Not boyfriends, suitors, big difference.

How?

Boyfriends implies I love them. I can’t allow myself to do that. It’s too dangerous for my mental health. Suitors are more like… contracted lovers? Geez, that makes them sound like prostitutes. (laughs) Some of them would prefer that, but I don’t pay them. The contract states that we have sex every nine days so I can feed.

What do they get out of it?

Dude! (gestures at her body) All this.

Every nine days, divided by three boy—suitors that equals…

Yes, yes, every three days I have to orgasm so I can feed. Don’t look at me like that. I’m not the writer.  You wouldn’t want to be around me if I don’t feed either. It can get ugly, well actually, I’m told I get more beautiful, but that’s not the point. I get demanding and horny and no one’s safe.

Are you close to your day three now?  (clears throat)

(tosses Annie the evil eye) Yes, I have a date after this so you’re safe.

(perks) Which suitor?

Review: Forbidden by Jacquelyn Frank

Title: Forbidden
Author: Jacquelyn Frank

Genre: Urban Fantasy
Length: Novel

Release Date : October 30, 2012

Reviewer: Jasmyn

From New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Frank comes this first book in The World of the Nightwalkers—an exciting and sensual new spin-off series in which the Bodywalkers, an ancient race of the night, battles the evil forces who prey on them.

The unexpected happens in an instant. On her way to work, secretary Docia Waverley hurtles into a crashing crossroads, and she quickly begins to suspect that things will never be the same. Then, when a tall, blond, muscular stranger intervenes on her behalf, telling her it is his duty to protect her at all cost, what is just a feeling turns to proof positive. That is, as long as Docia’s savior doesn’t turn out to be a crazed kidnapper.

When Ram finds Docia, he has no doubt that she is his queen. But as this golden warrior sweeps in to protect her, he feels something more than body heat every time they touch. He is overwhelmed by a searing connection that goes deep into the twin souls inside him. A desire rises in him that is forbidden—this woman is his queen, the mate of his king, his leader, his best friend. And yet Docia is so vulnerable and attractive that she awakens a hunger in Ram that is undeniable, a carnal craving he cannot yield to . . . not without risking the very survival of the Bodywalkers.

 BDSM Authors vs. Bitten by Paranormal Romance Reviewers

November 1st – 30th 2012

Last call, so if you want in please be quick. I'll leave this open until October 15, 2012. 

The whole month of November, Bitten by Paranormal Romance will be playing the submissive role, while the BDSM authors will be in the dominate role.  Oh yeah, you can't miss this one. You have to stick around to see which reviewer uses the safe word first.

I walked in Wal-Mart the other day and saw they had Fifty Shades of Gray on the shelves, and I got pissed because BDSM has been around for years. But now, this author is going to make a killing off what others have been struggling to do in this so-called taboo market. The cashier at Wal-Mart told me about little old ladies asking for this book, but I guarantee that the little old ladies would scold someone for reading BDSM last year.  The thing that kills me the most is one day I was in Wal-Mart, and the book lady was taking away the Lora Leigh erotic books. She told me,"Wal-Mart said because of the sexual content they couldn't sell these types of  books." But yet here they are selling an BDSM book? What the heck? Well, that got me thinking, and I came home and submitted my idea to my reviewers, and I couldn’t believe the response. They are totally up to this.

Blog tour with romance author Claire Ashgrove

Please welcome romance author Claire Ashgrove! 

Good morning!  It’s so good to be back here today.  Since we’re five days into the release of Immortal Surrender, I thought it might be nice to check in with our fearless Templar commander, Merrick du Loire, and see what he thinks of the new turn of events.

Claire:  Merrick, it shows through Immortal Surrender that you still don’t trust or care for Tane, but Anne has forgiven him. Why do you think she can but you can’t?

Merrick:  ‘Tis a most unpleasant subject, Lady Ashgrove.  Must we continue this course?  I do not make it habit to speak of the traitor.

Claire:  I know you don’t.  Humor me for a moment or three, please?

(Merrick grumbles, but gives a short nod.)  If ‘tis necessary for the comprehension of our plight, I shall suffer the inquisition.  Quite simply, Lady Anne possesses a gentleness of heart that I do not.  Nor do I possess the desire to cultivate such outside of my relationship with her.  My duties are such that softness and tender-heartedness could be deadly upon a battlefield.

Claire:  But this isn’t a battlefield – not in the temple at least.  This was once your brother.

Merrick:  Indeed.  The very same reason why his betrayal runs much deeper.  Were he another knight, his actions would not be so grievous, though indeed they would warrant punishment.

Claire: Do you think you will eventually forgive him?

Ordered by the archangel Gabriel to protect Noelle, the possessor of a sacred relic that could give Azazel incredible power, Farran swears to do his duty—but in name only. Fighting an attraction that grows with each day, he’s determined that he’ll never pledge himself to her.

As they war over her future, their mutual passion ignites a conflict far more damning. But before Noelle will agree to eternity with him, she demands the ultimate sacrifice – his heart.

Review Beyond Shame by Kit Rocha

Title: Beyond Shame (Beyond, #1)
Author: Kit Rocha
Source: Netgalley
Genre: Dystopia Erotic Romance (BDSM elements)
Length: Novel

All Noelle Cunningham has ever wanted is a life beyond–beyond the walls of Eden, where only the righteous are allowed to remain, and beyond her stiflingly restrictive existence as a councilman’s daughter. But only ruins lie outside the City, remnants of a society destroyed by solar storms decades earlier.

The sectors surrounding Eden house the corrupt, the criminal–men like Jasper McCray, bootlegger and cage fighter. Jas clawed his way up from nothing to stand at the right hand of Sector Four’s ruthless leader, and he’ll defend the O’Kane gang with his life. But no fight ever prepared him for the exiled City girl who falls at his feet.

Her innocence is undeniable, but so is their intense sexual attraction, and soon they’re crossing every boundary Noelle barely knew she had. But if she wants to belong to Jas, first she’ll have to open herself to the gang, to a dangerous world of sex, lust and violence. A world where passion is power, and freedom is found in submission.

In the steampunk world of Victorian London, a beautiful vampire seeks out the author of Dracula–to set the record straight . . . If one is to believe Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire tale, Lucy Weston is Dracula’s most wanton creation, a sexual creature of the night who preys on innocent boys. But the real-life Lucy is nothing like her fictional counterpart—and she demands to know why the Victorian author deliberately lied. With Stoker’s reluctant help, she’s determined to track down the very fiend who transformed her—from the sensual underworld where humans vie to become vampires, to a hidden cell beneath a temple to madness, and finally into the glittering Crystal Palace where death reigns supreme.

Haunted by fragmentary memories of her lost life and love, Lucy must battle her thirst for blood as she struggles to stop a catastrophic war that will doom vampires and humans alike. Ultimately, she must make a choice that illuminates for her—and for us—what it means to be human.

This is for you to get post by email.  If you look at the top left sidebar, you'll see a place to add an email. Just add your email and you will get the post, it worked for me today and others. So, this one seems to work better. 

Thanks 

Since my attempted of using the free Feedcat failed, I have looked into some more Feedburners. The sad fact is there isn't much for free so with only 60 Freedburners users I can't see myself paying 5.00 to 10.00 a month, plus with most of these feedburner host, if I gain subscribers then it could run into 30.00 or more a month.Until I can find something similar to Google Feedbruner than I will not be having one. I'm sorry but all of this monthly pay here and there is getting too much for this blogger.

To those of you 60 people who uses Google Feedburner you will have it for a few more weeks before they shut it down.

I am considering using mailchimp for my events next year, that way it will be easier for you to keep up with them, but again I have to be careful because if I go over the limit it too will cost around 5.00 a month, if not more it just depends on how many signs up. 

The free blogging world is changing fast, it's becoming a dollar digger by the month. This is the biggest reason you see a lot of blogger closing up because they didn't see this coming before they open a blog.

What are you reading this Autumn?

Gabrielle Bisset Sons of Navarus Paranormal Fall Fling blog tour kick off!

Thanks so much to Laurie and all the bloggers here at Bitten By Paranormal Romance for having me here to celebrate the release of the third book in the Sons of Navarus series, Blood Spirit! And the celebration doesn't stop until the last day of October. Until October 31, the Blood Spirit/Sons of Navarus Paranormal Fall Fling giveaway has weekly prizes along with grand prizes of gift cards, ebooks, and cool Sons of Navarus swag at the end of the fling. Be sure to keep reading after the post for details on how to enter!

Blood Spirit is the third book in the Sons of Navarus series and continues the story from the first two, Blood Avenged and Blood Betrayed. When I began brainstorming for this series, I decided that this wouldn't be one of those series where each book is a stand alone. I have a series of novellas like that, but I wanted this series' story to be bigger. So readers are introduced to the first Son, Vasilije, in Blood Avenged and very gently eased into the non-romantic plotline of a vampire civil war between the Sons of Navarus and the Archons. At the end of Blood Avenged, readers meet the rest of the Sons and it all begins.

In the second book, Blood Betrayed, readers meet Saint, another Son, and learn more about the Archons, the law and order vampires who want to take over the vampire world and mold it into their very sterile and cruel likeness. Each book in the series features the love story of one of the Sons but continues the series' plot.

I really don't have many of you that scribe to feedburner, so I figured I ask everyone before I go pay for something else or try to dig up something for free that probably wont work half way right. If there is a lot of you what wants Feedburber then I will go find one, if not I'm not going to even bother. 

Just leave me a comment and let me know you'd like to have a feedburner.

Review: Higlander Reborn, by Laura Hunsaker

Title: Highlander Reborn
Author: Laura Hunsaker
Source: Review request
Genre: Paranormal Romance 
Length: novella, 33 pages
Reviewed by: Emi

Highlander Reborn begins in Scotland, many centuries ago, where a blacksmith fights for his life and his people. His life is forever changed when Amalia, one of the Nightkind, makes the choice to save his life. But first, he has to die...

1304…

After Nevin MacLachlan’s wife was killed by a vampire, he made it his mission to hunt them all down. But one late Highland night, in a battle he couldn’t win, one of the Nightkind ripped open his throat. With his blood draining onto the grass, the last thing Nevin sees isn’t a white light; it’s the dark of night closing in on him.

Amalia has been enamored with the blacksmith ever since he first held a stake to her heart. Watching him die was unacceptable. Will he ever forgive her for turning him into what he hates most?

Nevin has lived his life alone for a reason. When Amalia walks back into his life seven centuries later asking for help, he wants nothing more but to turn his back to her. But something about her still calls to him.

Some of the Nightkind in Amalia’s seethe have been killed. It’s up to her to find Nevin and ask for his help. But how can she show Nevin that she isn’t the monster he thinks she is? 

One of our reviewers interview Jasmyn

We have just a few interviews left. This one is from Jasmyn. She has been with us for a few months and is new to romance. *sonrt* She might be new to romance but she's been really going at reading them since she came on board the pack. LOL.

Now.... Let me see I believe Emi is up next... Yes, she will be on the next few days. Then we have Artemis. Oh where, oh where art thou Artemis? I hear crickets.... Don't you hear crickets? Oh yeah, those are definitely crickets I hear. I might have to bring out the whip before we see her interview. LOL.

Anyhow, everyone please welcome Jasmyn!

First off please tell the readers a bit about yourself.

I am a 33 year old mother of 2 (9yr old daughter and 1 yr old son).  My 9yr old daughter is big into ballet and we participate in a fairly large production of the NutCracker every year.  We are currently eagerly anticipating the announcement of who got what parts.  I work full time in accounting at a community college so reading is my creative escape from life.  I am a lover of cats – or anything else that purrs and snuggles on a cold night. 

Besides reading what do you like to do in your spare time?

When not working, hanging out with the family, or reading you can find me in front of a computer playing MMORPGs (massively multi-player online roleplaying games for the non-nerds among us) or trying my hand at a new cross stitch pattern.  I probably have dozens that I’m within a few days of finishing and never quite do those last little bits.

Book One of the FORCED TO SERVE Series

Being captain of his own rescue ship is the kind of life Captain Liam Synar always dreamed of living. Being a master of his family’s hereditary demon was never in his plans because his brother had been trained for the purpose. Yet what choice did his father have when Conor's evil came to light? None. So reluctant or not, Liam is the only Synar left to rule Malachi. Now his exiled brother hunts him to capture the demon while Liam stays on the run and saves Peace Alliance ambassadors in his spare time--except for one. Ambassador Ania Looren unknowingly hosts his family’s demon inside her body. He sent Malachi into her to save her life after Conor’s men almost killed her. And though Liam hadn't wanted to, there had been no choice but to abandon her two years ago. His plan of keeping both her and the demon safe from Conor has mostly worked, but his ability to hide the truth has finally reached an end. His next rescue has to be his estranged mate before Conor finally figures it out.

After accepting only one mate in her extremely long life, Ambassador Ania Looren is now wishing the number had remained at zero forever. Mating Captain Liam Synar is turning out to be the worst mistake she has made in nine hundred years. Something happened after Liam abandoned her, something more than just the pain of losing her chosen male from her life. Something about his absence has stripped away the peaceful enlightenment she struggled years to achieve. Now Ania can’t meditate or pray, and her compassion for other creatures seems to be lessening. She is becoming again the kind of person she’s spent her most of her existence trying not to be. On top of that, she’s been accused of murdering three males who attacked her and her family. She doesn’t even remember what happened that day. Now Liam is back and demanding she go with him to his ship. What choice does she have? It's a better fate than being arrested and put through social reconditioning on her planet. The half life she’s been living for two years is no more worth keeping than her mating commitment to a male who obviously hadn’t wanted her after all.

Interview with author Felicity Heaton + Giveaway

Please welcome paranormal romance author Felicity Heaton! 

Ollie:How long have you wanted to write professionally?

Felicity: I don’t think I ever wanted to write professionally before I began writing for fun. I developed a real passion for writing then and once I began writing original fiction with my own characters, it became even more of an obsession of mine. I throw myself one hundred and ten percent into things I’m passionate about, and writing is up near the top of that list. I was writing ebooks back in the days when we were constantly told that ebooks were going to make it big, but they never did. I really loved writing and I stuck with it even though chances of making a living from being an indie author were non-existent. I persevered because I had come to love writing so much and sharing my stories that I wanted to do it as my career. I never thought it was possible, but it was a nice dream to have.

Review of Supernova by C.L. Parker

Title: Supernova
Author: C.L. Parker
Publisher: The Writer's Coffee Shop
Reviewer: Twigs


Somewhere between the first twinkling of stars in the night sky and the break of dawn, two souls from two unique worlds collide, creating an everlasting supernova.

Kerrigan Cruz and Dominic Grayson are among the chosen few who have the gift, or the curse, of being able to walk between two worlds. It is on the cusp of where these beings meet that everything changes, and life as they know it is turned upside down. Fantasy becomes reality and what shouldn’t be, is.

Forced by destiny, their chance encounter is breathed to life by the one thing that can make even the most impossible of impossibilities a reality. Something so complex in nature, yet as simple as a flicker of thought to exercise. Most normal people go about their everyday lives never even suspecting its existence. But it is out there…it is the Light.

The universe has granted the power of the Light to a chosen bloodline charged with the responsibility of protecting our right to choose our destiny. But in the shadows, darkness wreaks havoc in the lives of the unsuspecting. Yes, another world does exist, and it holds secrets beyond what the most vivid imagination can comprehend.

Supernova: His curse. Her gift. Their destiny.

A paranormally-gifted female vampire hunter is seduced by beautiful eight-hundred year old identical twin vampire brothers.

When pre-med student Eve Hayden searches for a translator for an ancient French illuminated manuscript she found in her dead mother’s research files, she gets more than she bargained for: Michel de Cernay, an eight hundred year old vampire and his identical twin brother Julien. The manuscript details their death and rebirth as vampires in 1224 during the Cathar Crusade at the hands of an ancient vampire.

Michel wants to prevent Eve from reading the manuscript or becoming a vampire hunter like her dead mother before her. He hopes Eve will instead pursue her studies in music. Unable to compel her to forget him and all about vampires, Michel asks Eve to become his Adept, working cases with him protecting the Treaty of Clairveaux that keeps vampires in the closet and peace between the two species. He also wants her to become his sexual submissive and despite her initial reluctance, Eve is drawn to the idea of submitting to this beautiful vampire.

She also meets his brother Julien, a brash and mercurial opposite to Michel's calm determination. The temperamental opposite of Michel, Julien tries to complicate the budding romance between Eve and Michel in the hopes of winning Eve for himself.

Gifted with paranormal skills, planning to follow in her mother’s footsteps as a vampire hunter, Eve is torn between loyalty to her mother’s cause and her desire for these twins.

Erotic, suspenseful and fast-paced, Dominion will keep you turning pages as Eve searches for the truth about her mother’s death, her birth and her desires.

Imagine finding a partner who is just as naughty, kinky and dark as you are, a lover who wanders the hardware store with you in search of new �toys,’ a man who can wrangle both you and the dishes into submission, a woman who accompanies you to office parties and play parties. Think that heady combination of: sweet and sexy, dirty and romantic, love and leather. Bound By Lust is a romantic, couples-focused erotica with a BDSM slant. The couples range from newly blossoming relationships, lont-time loves and reunited flames. BDSM aspect of this is both naughty and nice — bondage, spanking, domination, submission, power-play, pain and pleasure, or whatever your dirty mind can think of. Bring on the rope and rough stuff, the dens and dungeons, the corsets and clamps and cuffs. Romance can be a little rough and still have VERY happy endings!
