Broad Daylight by Tara Quan

A Proper Rock Chick by Sofia Grey

I’m a 40-on-the-outside / 20-on-the-inside girl with a passion for the simple things in life. As long as they include wine, chocolate and rock music, I’m good. When I’m not either herding project managers (at work), cats (at home) or cub scouts (in what passes for spare time…) I’m curled up with my Kindle or my laptop. To me, writing is as addictive as reading and I can’t manage unless I have both.




Claimed by a Leprechaun by Jocelyn Dex

The Boss’s Brother by Sotia Lazu
June expects to get fired, after how she’s been ogling her boss’s brother, Dorian. She's in the midst of her own pity party when Dorian shows up. June gives him a piece of her mind—and then some.

Sorcha Mowbray is a mild mannered office worker by day…okay, so she is actually a mouthy, opinionated, take charge kind of gal who bosses everyone around; but she definitely works in an office. At night she writes romance so hot she sets the sheets on fire! Just ask her slightly singed husband. She is a longtime lover of historical romance, having grown up reading Johanna Lindsey and Judith McNaught. Then she discovered Thea Devine and Susan Johnson. Holy cow! Heroes and heroines could do THAT? From there, things devolved into trying her hand at writing a little smexy. Needless to say, she liked it and she hopes you do too!




Almost Goodbye by Shiloh Saddler

Interview with Daisy Banks, Author of A Perfect Match

Daisy Banks
A Perfect Match
Futuristic Romance with a touch of sci-fi

Book Description:
Daisy Banks whisks you into a futuristic world, where you might fight for water, or offer up your freedom and become a slave for the promise of enough to drink.

Passion and politics ripple through A Perfect Match where the enmity between the government leader, Lord Chardel and Commander Varon, head of the Astan water acquirement fleet, is at flashpoint. The enforced marriage of Anwell Nastor, a young Temple adept, to Commander Varon, not only breaks Astan religious rules, but could break untried hearts. This cruel ploy meant to silence Varon’s opposition to current circumstances in the city-state brings unexpected results. Through careful manipulation of the news links, Varon and his bride become the city’s most adored couple, but danger shadows their steps.

Join Anwell and Varon as they discover the power of A Perfect Match on their perilous journey in a world full of dangers and political intrigue.

Interview

Q: Do you have a favorite quote or line from A Perfect Match? If so, please share.
A: Her icy fingers locked together and shook, along with the rest of her. “What if I don’t breed?”
“We’d better see you do.”

Q: Name one thing the hero and heroine of A Perfect Match can’t live without.
A: Water; this is the key to one of the dilemmas they face in their world. They have very little water on the planet. Varon, the hero, is skilled water diviner and he sees the city is supplied with water.

Q: Are there any specific words or phrases you aren't comfortable using in your stories (especially in sex scenes)? Word or phrase that makes you say “ick”?
A: I don’t like the c word for female genitalia. I don’t find it at all sexy. D.H. Lawrence didn’t make me like it in Lady Chatterley’s Lover, and it’s not a word anyone else has convinced me is sensually pleasing. I know some people think it’s a must for erotic pieces but I prefer to write without using it. Saying that, I don’t like the purple prose type things such as, vale of delight or euphemisms like that. Another word that makes me go ‘ick’ is globes as reference to breasts. I always think of the antique type of world globes and it ruins the moment by making me laugh. My last pet hate in sex scenes is bucking, oh my goodness, the images that brings to mind are hysterical.

Q: Convince readers to buy A Perfect Match in 25 words or less.
A: An ex-nun and a control freak forced to marry in a world full of dangers. How can you resist?

Q: What’s one of your biggest fears?
A: This isn’t an easy question to answer. I think the fear of something bad happening to a member of my family has to top the list. Having once experienced that trauma, I never want to live through something like that again.

Another fear of mine is spiders. This is an unpleasant phobia I have had since I was a very small child. I lived in an 18th century cottage for a while and there were many spiders of colossal size. Since all the exposure to them while I lived there, I’ve improved and I can be in a room with a small spider without freaking. However, if the spider is a big one I have to find someone to remove it. 

The level of fear is high and the symptoms unpleasant. I can’t walk by a big spider, or be close to them and I think I’d pass out if I had to touch one. I don’t want them killed just put outside. Once when I was at the cottage a massive spider had decided it would sit half way up the stairs, thus preventing me going up there.

I stopped a man who happened to pass by the house that day and asked him to come in to get rid of a spider for me. I did make sure he wasn’t scared of them first.  I think he thought I was a little odd but he put the spider outside any way.

I can guarantee that if there is a spider no one else has noticed in a room, I will see it. I have been known to scream and run at the sight of one. There were so many of them at the cottage, I tried the Conker method of keeping the spiders at bay and it did seem to work. You have to put a Conker, a Horse Chestnut nut, in each corner of the room and the smell of them should keep spiders away. I do think I saw fewer of them that year. Where I live now the spiders are very small and spindly and not so scary.

Jocelyn's Note: Ew! Spiders! That is also one of my fears. The damn things are just so creepy!

Fun Stuff

Q: Tattoos. Hot or not? And do you have any?
A: I don’t have any tattoos, but I do like body art. I like the Celtic style patterns some people have and I love the Maori style patterns.
Q: Wine, Beer or Liquor?
A: I enjoy red wine. Sometimes I drink Guinness, as it is full of iron and good for you.
Q: Dogs, cats or other?
A: I am allergic to feathers, fur and fluff. If I am in close contact with any of those things my eyelids swell up, my eyes run and I sneeze constantly. It is rotten not being able to have a cute pet. I did have a goldfish for a long time, he was quite sweet.
Q: Kindle, Nook, Paper? Other?
A: Kindle and paper. I like audio books too. I listen to them in the car sometimes when I am driving.
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: I don’t know, but I do remember a day when three chickens brought the traffic in Bridgnorth to a standstill. They must have escaped from their run and they spent about half an hour dodging back and forth across the road. It was quite amusing to watch and people were very kind because none of the drivers squished them. Someone finally herded them up and took them out of the way.

Mutt or Meow Monday: Meet Peanut, Annie Nicholas's Mutt + Giveaway

Welcome to Mutt or Meow Monday!

Mutt or Meow Monday is where we interview the author’s animal friends instead of interviewing the author. Let’s see what the animals have to say!

It’s great to have you here today.

Please introduce yourself.

Hello, I’m Peanut and I own Annie Nicholas. I’m a one year old Great Dane who likes to try to fit into places that won’t hold me like my human’s lap.


What’s your favorite book by Annie Nicholas and why?

I love her Chronicle of Eorthe series because it’s about wolf pack life and in my heart I KNOW I am part wolf.

Do you ever interrupt Annie Nicholas for attention when she’s trying to write? Does she stop and give you attention, brush you off, or bribe you with treats?

Are you kidding me? I live to interrupt her. Especially when she’s on the couch and I can snuggle right against her and lean my 115 pound frame against her body. She doesn’t have a choice but to stop and pay attention to me or I’d crush her to death.

Does Annie Nicholas ever read her writing to you? Do you like it?

No, she’s very tight lipped. Something about not wanting to corrupt my mind.

Has Annie ever based one of her characters on you? Which one?

No, but another author has contacted her for permission to use me.

What do you wish Annie would do with her writing time instead of writing?

Take me on long truck rides with the window down so my flubby lips can flap in the wind.

What’s the best part about living with an author?
She’s always home and accessible when I need her. She writes a lot about wolf pack dynamics and understands that some of this is part of dog pack life as well.

Chicken, bacon or cheese?  BACON           
Butt sniffin’, leg humpin’, fluffy toys? Fluffy toys

Final thoughts: Dogs are people too.

No Refuge 
Known Universe, Book 1
Annie Nicholas

Genre: Space Opera/Science Fiction Romance 
Publisher: Lyrical Press/Kensington 
Number of pages: 94, Word Count: 24,000 
Cover Artist: Renee Rocco

Hunted to near extinction by an alien race called the Ko, my people have run from Earth and drifted so far among the stars we can’t remember the way back. We live everywhere, but call nowhere home. The Ko want us erased from existence and memory. They don’t even want our DNA in the space dust. Humans disguise themselves as other alien species and hide in plain sight. It’s the only way we can survive.

I believe in the myth of Earth. I’ve even discovered a bona fide book written in the dead language of my people. My man, Brody, dreams of a secret human colony. He’s searched for years, hunting any rumor we’ve run across, and finally he’s made contact. Usually, he’s the one grounding me to station and keeping my head out of the atmosphere. Time for me to return the favor…that is, if I can ditch the Ko who’ve discovered me, thanks to my incessant artifact-hunting. If we don’t make our rendezvous, and the Ko don’t kill me, Brody just might…

CONTENT WARNING: Aliens, cargo ships, and a fast paced race against all odds.

Mother, daughter, and wife are some of the other hats she wears while hiking through the hills and dales of her adopted state of Vermont.

Mutt or Meow Monday: Meet Chase & Yin, Chandra Ryan's Mutts

Welcome to Mutt or Meow Monday!

Mutt or Meow Monday is where we interview the author’s animal friends instead of interviewing the author. Let’s see what the animals have to say!

It’s great to have you here today.

Please introduce yourself.

My name is Yin and I’m a five-year-old terrier mix. The family is still pretty new to me. I only picked them out about four months ago. But I think I’ll keep them.

My name is Chase and I’m a fifteen-year-old whippet. Life was pretty good here until they decided I needed a friend. You need another dog to keep you company, they said. You’ll love it, they said.


Do you ever interrupt Chandra Ryan for attention when she’s trying to write? Does she stop and give you attention, brush you off, or bribe you with treats?

Yin: Interrupt? Me? Never! I’m a helpful dog. I lay on her arms to keep her warm and paw at the keyboard. She’s always going on about how many words she needs to write so I’m doing my part. And the sooner she gets those words in, the sooner she throws the ball. It’s not like the actual words matter. I’m sure her editor loves my contributions to the story.

Chase: She writes? Huh… Must be during my naptime. Though I don’t know why anyone would rather write than nap from 9am-6pm. Really. When does she get her extra nine hours of sleep in?

Does Chandra Ryan ever read her writing to you? Do you like it?

Chase: She mumbles and curses quite a bit during my naps? Does that count?

Yin: Of course it does. That’s her way of asking us for our insight. You should really help her out the way I do. She likes it.

What does Chandra Ryan do to celebrate when she finishes writing a book?

Chase: She gets a sweet treat from the store. Which is pretty awesome because she shares. Well, sometimes she shares. Leaving the container out on the countertop where I can reach it is sharing, right? I mean, she knows I can reach it.

Yin: Funny. I don’t remember any special treats. You wouldn’t be holding out on me by any chance would you, Chase?

What do you wish Chandra Ryan would do with her writing time instead of writing?

Yin: Love on me, of course. And really, I don’t know why she prefers typing away on that computer. What does it have that I don’t?

Chase: She really needs to catch up on her sleep. I’m concerned about her. Eight hours a night just isn’t enough.

What’s the best part about living with an author?

Yin: Since she works from home, she gets to spend her days with me.

Chase: With us! I was here first, you know.

Yin: Please, you didn’t even know she writes.

Chicken, bacon or cheese?

Yin and Chase in unison: Bacon? Did somebody say bacon!?!

Butt sniffin’, leg humpin’, fluffy toys?

Yin: Sounds like a good time to me.

Chase: I think we’re supposed to pick one of the three.

Yin: No. No one would be so mean as to make us choose between three of the greatest pleasures in the world!

They’ll have to survive the mission before they can worry about that.
Inside Scoop: Gates and Julian share some super-hot male/male action on a planet where gruesome monsters deal out grisly death.

Author Bio:
Being from a rather nomadic family, Chandra Ryan loves to travel and meet people. But she’s found that sometimes, like when you’re stuck inside because of a good old-fashioned Southwestern heat wave, you have to make do.

Also, you’re a lot less likely to spill your ice tea.
