Annie Seaton and her “Italian Affair”

Posted on by July 24, 2013

Annie_SeatonPlease help me welcome Entangled Publishing best-selling author Annie Seaton to my blog today. Thanks for visiting with me, Annie. Please tell us a little about yourself.

 I live with my very patient husband, and ‘Bob’ the dog and two white cats in a house next to the beach on the east coast of Australia. I sit in her writing chair, gaze at the ocean and write my stories.  Our two children are grown and married and I love spending time gardening, walking on the beach and spoiling my two grandchildren. I’ve always been fascinated by all things romantic and have found my niche in life writing romance novels, ranging from contemporary to paranormal with a foray into steampunk!

My debut full length novel, Holiday Affair, a contemporary romance set in the South Pacific was released as part of Entangled Publishing’s Indulgence line in March 2012 and has been a best seller on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The sequel Italian Affair was released in June 2013, and will be followed shortly by Outback Affair. I have more books being released in 2013 with Entangled Publishing in the Bliss, Entangled Suspense and Covet imprints.

I have also ventured into independent publishing with my de Vargas family steampunk series: Winter of the Passion Flower and Summer of the Moon Flower. Blind Lust (Musa Publishing) a paranormal novella is a sweet romance and one of my favourites.

In appreciation of the supportive author community, I have written a book on promotion to share the secrets of my success: Promotional Tips and Tricks for Aspiring Authors in the Digital Landscape.

Visiting Australia is on my bucket list. Sounds like you’ve been busy. Now, the blog is yours.

I love writing stories about strong females. Women who know what they want from life and where they are heading. However these heroines, although strong and focused often have personality traits that my readers can relate to, and I believe that is the key to engaging a reader.

Take Lissy in Holiday Affair. Although she was a successful university professor, she had trust issues arising from her background. Brianna in Italian Affair is a much more completed character and I have been delighted with the reviews as they have all picked up the vulnerabilities of her character.

Comments like:

Brianna is one of those people that no matter how she can frustrate you, her charm and zest for life is infectious and contagious…and

Brianna, adopted at birth by a Scottish family is the very opposite, disorganised, a free spirit and totally opposed to tying herself down because families are messy. So the inheritance of a villa from her birth mother, which comes with the addition of a whole lot of family is bound to make her lose her balance.

It is Brianna’s charm and zest for life which Tom at first is attracted by and eventually he discovers what has made her so flighty and vulnerable. Through the growth of each of their characters a wonderful romance develops and he must convince her it is for life.

ItalianAffair-new-1600pxBlurb:

Free-spirited sex therapist Brianna Ballantine has four days to find a fiancé so she can inherit her birth mother’s Italian villa. Commitment is not on the agenda. Writing her sex therapy book and signing legal papers are. And once all is said and done, she’ll return home to Scotland.

For finance guru Tomas Richards, relationships have been a bad investment—give him stocks and shares any day. When Tomas offers a marriage of convenience to help Brianna secure her inheritance, the sizzle between the sheets promises an affair to remember, despite family complications at every turn.

But Tom must convince Brianna to stay, and make this Italian affair a lifelong commitment.

Excerpt:

The soughing of the waves washing back over the pebbly beach below the villa woke Tom before sunrise. His chest was heavy as he remembered the argument with Brianna.

God, he was so damn attracted to her, and he knew he’d hurt her feelings. It had taken him ages to get to sleep. Logic told him it was way too soon to get involved with her. He was still not ready to go down that path, no matter how much she tempted him.

He tended to avoided situations like this—he hated conflict and messy emotions. Give him a financial problem to sort out any day. When you didn’t depend on anyone else, you didn’t have to deal with all the emotional crap that came with it. He much preferred his life to be organized and predictable. 

So what the hell was he doing? He’d been happy with the agreement as it stood, and then Brianna had to go and ruin it all last night. He hated not being in control.

Friends with benefits was not the way he operated.

He dozed back off and woke a while later when the bed creaked and moved. He rolled over to his side. Or rather, he attempted to roll over. A weight on his chest and legs prevented him from moving, and he opened his eyes slowly. Tom groaned and immediately closed them. He kept them squeezed shut, hoping he was still asleep and this was a dream, but a little giggle and a tickle of hair on his bare chest convinced him he was awake and his wife of less than twenty-four hours was straddling his bare legs.

Brianna was perched on his thighs with her knees resting on each side of him on the crisp white sheets. “Open your eyes. I know you’re awake.”

Tom obeyed reluctantly. Her black curls tumbled in wild disarray over her bare shoulders and skimmed the edge of the sheet she clutched in front of her breasts.

Can you tell us about your next release?

Next on the list is Jess in Outback Affair which winds up the Affair series. Another strong female lead for readers to look forward to. Jess is confident and sassy but taken right out of comfort zone and put n the outback with the third ultra sexy and rich Richard’s brother.

Look out for it later in the year!

The Italian Affair is available now on Amazon , Barnes & Noble and iTunes.

Gambling on a Heart – Sara Walter Ellwood

Posted on by July 23, 2013

Sara Walter Ellwood_smallToday, I’m going to give you a taste of Sara Walter Ellwood’s latest release, Gambling on a Heart.

Gambling On A Heart
Book 2 of The Colton Gamblers

Blurb:
She once lost his heart on a bluff. Will she risk everything to win it back?

Beautician Tracy Quinn spends her days making the women of Colton, Texas beautiful, while living down the nickname of Olive Oyl, given to her by the only man she has ever loved—Zack Cartwright. She spends her nights alone, despite what her ex husband wants their friends and neighbors to think.

Ex-rodeo cowboy. Ex-bad-boy. Ex-Marine. Widower and single dad Sheriff Zack Cartwright can describe his life in exes. One ex in particular reminds him of what’s missing in his workaholic life: Tracy Quinn. For years since she broke his heart, he’s practically made avoiding her a second job. He still wants her, but can never go after her.

When cattle rustlers target her brother’s ranch, Tracy and Zack are stuck working together. Her son could use a positive male role model, and his daughter is wild for a chance at a “substitute” mom. But Tracy’s ex threatens to sue if she lets Zack near her son, and the Colton grapevine is abuzz with rumors about their past relationship. Is it worth the gamble to see if what they have is more than lust?

CONTENT WARNING: Spicy sex

gamblingonaheart 500x750Excerpt:

“I was hoping you could keep me company this afternoon.” He skimmed his fingers over her cheek.

Her insides, heating up like lava under the surface of the earth, pooled in her low belly. Her lips parted.

Against her lips, he whispered, “Tracy, I want you.”

She had thought of little else since he’d left her standing on her porch Friday night. He was asking her to enter into a sexual relationship without any hope of a future–without love.

But she was already in love with Zack.

Both of their kids would benefit from them being together. Hadn’t that been what she’d decided while she tossed and turned in her big, empty bed?

With her gaze locked on his, she murmured, “I want you, too, but I have a stipulation.”

He leaned back. “What is it?”

“I’m no one’s bed-buddy, Zack. I know what my reputation is in this town, but it’s all wrong.” She swallowed her rapidly thumping heart back into place. “I’ll only go through with this, if you promise to treat me as a serious girlfriend. That means we date, we visit with our families and we share our kids.” When his expression hardened, she quickly added, “Mandy likes me. And I adore her. I’d like to bring her here, to the shop, for a few hours and play. And take her shopping. I know your mom tries, but she’s busy with her foundations and charities she does for the Junior League.”

The breath she sucked in was full of Zack’s scent of sage and leather. “Meanwhile, you can teach Bobby how to ride and maybe take him to the sheriff’s department and show him around. Jake won’t like it, but I’ll deal with him.” Having laid her demands out on the proverbial table, she held her breath, waiting for him to tell her what she could do with herself. After all, a man of Zack’s caliber could have any damned woman he wanted. Tracy was just handy, and according to the gossip of her ex-husband and mother-in-law, she was easy.

He studied her for a few moments. “That’s more than one stipulation.”

“Take it or leave it.”

“Tracy, it won’t change what I told you Friday night. I’m never getting married again.”

His words stung as much now as they had the other night, but she didn’t show him how much. She kept her face determined, as
if she were haggling over one of his horses, rather than her body and soul.

“Fine. But I’m not a floozy. Yes, I’ve made mistakes. But I have my son to consider. And I’d hope you’d feel the same about Mandy. They’re bound to see us together. What do you plan on telling your six-year-old daughter when she asks about me? That I’m your friend with benefits? I know that isn’t what I want to be teaching my son.” Moreover, she didn’t want to give credence to Jake’s claim that she had no sexual morals.

“Okay,” he said at last. “We’ll play the game your way.” He pressed her against him. “Luck would have it I’m off this afternoon, too. I’ve already put in sixteen hours.”

When his lips captured hers, she knew she’d made a pact with the devil, but she couldn’t stop the elation surging through her. There was something he wanted from her. Sex was a big portion of it, but something else kept Zack from walking away and hooking up with any one of the many available women in town.

Bio:
Sara Walter Ellwood is an award winning author whose novel Gambling On A Secret was named by bestselling author Carolyn Brown in the Happy Ever After Blog on USA Today as one of her favorite romances of 2012. Although Sara has long ago left the farm for the glamour of the big town, she draws on her experiences growing up on a small hobby farm in West Central Pennsylvania to write her stories. She’s been married to her college sweetheart for nearly 20 years, and they have two teenagers and one very spoiled rescue cat named Penny. She longs to visit the places she writes about and jokes she’s a cowgirl at heart stuck in Pennsylvania suburbia.

She also writes paranormal romantic suspense under the pen name of Cera duBois.

Keep your cool

Posted on by July 19, 2013

We’re in the middle of a heatwave here in Canada, with temperatures climbing into triple digits (if you take humidity into account). It reminds me of the opening lyrics to the 1965 Drifters hit, Under the Boardwalk. I won’t quote it here, but if you want to listen, you can hear the song here. Unfortunately, I don’t have a beach or a boardwalk to hide under to keep cool.

Those of you in the south who deal with this heat and humidity every year are probably laughing at me right about now. That’s okay. You folks are acclimatized to it. But my body is not meant for this kind of heat, especially since I have no central air conditioning in my house. Until the last couple of years, I’ve been comfortable with open windows and fans. Not anymore. Global warming? I’m no climatologist, but something’s going on, and I’m not happy about it.

So, for those of you like me who’ve never needed a/c until now, here are a few ways to keep cool until the temps get back to normal.

1. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water, juice and electrolyte replacement drinks, such as Gatorade.

2. Soak your feet in cool water. For some reason, cooling your feet seems to help, as well as applying cold damp clothes to your wrists, underarms and neck/shoulders.

3. Eat fresh fruit (or frozen) and vegetables, and avoid high protein foods.

4. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.

5. Go out – not into the blistering sunshine, but to a mall, a movie, anywhere that has a/c. If you can’t go out, head to the basement. Since heat rises, the basement is the coolest area of the house.

cold drinkRight now, I’m heading downstairs to sit by a fan with an ice-cold drink and a good book.

Do you have tips for staying cool?

PS: Just think, a few months from now, we’ll be wishing it was half as warm as it is today.

Robin Hood – with a twist

Posted on by July 14, 2013

Please help me welcome author Michelle McLean to my blog today. She’s going to talk to us about her Blood Blade Sisters series, a twist on the classic Robin Hood tale. The blog is yours, Michelle.

Thanks so much for having me on your blog today, Margery!

I just had a new book release, A Bandit’s Broken Heart, and one thing people often ask me is how I decide where to set my stories.

I’ve always been a huge history nut. I even got my bachelor’s degree in History and loved every second of studying different time periods. One of the great things about writing historical romances is getting to immerse myself in long ago times and places.

For my Blood Blade Sisters series, I wanted a setting that I hadn’t seen very often. The series is about three sisters who become Robin Hood-type figures in order to save their ranch and their town from their corrupt half-brother, the sheriff. I was already throwing a twist into the Robin Hood tale by making the main characters women. I wanted even more of a twist and thought about how fun it would be to make them Wild West Robin Hoods. I grew up in California near the old Gold Rush towns, so it was a location I was both familiar with and really loved. And so the setting for book one, A Bandit’s Stolen Heart, was born 🙂

Book Two, A Bandit’s Broken Heart, (and the newest release), centers on the eldest sister, Brynne. Brynne has a hard time of it in book one and book two finds her starting a new life in a town as far away from her Californian home as she could get. I knew I needed something far away, but I also wanted a place that would have a lot of culture, an elite society that would be hard to be a part of if you’d been raised on a ranch in the wilds of California. So I chose Boston, which gave me the opportunity to do a ton of research, something I weirdly love to do 😀 Brynne is very much a fish out of water in this story and it was fun to pit her feisty country girl-ness with the refined Bostonian elites.

For book three, I needed another vastly different location…but I wanted to keep the story set in the United States. So Lucy, the youngest sister, will have her story played out in the South, a location where I lived for several years and so am very familiar with. It will be fun to see her in such a different setting.

But for now, readers can follow Brynne to Boston and see how she fares as she tries to rebuild her life.
Here is the blurb for A Bandit’s Broken Heart, along with the book trailer if you’d like to get a little peek of what’s in store for Brynne.

A woman with a past

Widowed mother, Brynne Forrester, gave up her bandit activities when she left California to make a fresh start with her young daughter in Boston. Working for a handsome doctor fulfills her need to be useful and independent, but he creates another yearning she can’t deny.

A man with a purpose

Dr. Richard Oliver assumes Brynne is just another debutante hunting for a rich husband, until she intrigues him with her steady hand for stitches…and guns. He can’t put her out of his mind, but the young widow has mysteries he’s determined to unravel.

A love in danger

When smugglers raid much-needed supplies from the clinic, Brynne must resurrect her bandit persona for the good of the sick and the poor. Her secret life threatens to destroy everything she’s worked so hard to protect…her life, her family and her heart.

About the Author:

I spent 98% of my formative years with my nose in a book indulging in my love of reading and research. Expanding that love into writing was inevitable. I have a B.S. in History, a M.A. in English, and tend to be a bit of an organized mess with an insatiable love of books and more weird quirks than you can shake a stick at.

I am the author of the historical romances To Trust a Thief, and the Blood Blade Sisters trilogy, and the non-fiction Homework Helpers: Essays and Term Papers. If I’m not editing, reading or chasing my kids around, I can usually be found in a quiet corner working on my next book. I currently reside in PA with my husband and two kids, an insanely hyper dog, and two very spoiled cats.

Where do ideas come from? Ask Karen Duvall

Posted on by July 16, 2013

Karen Duvall-2 Please help me give a warm welcome to my special guest today, Karen Duvall, author of Desert Guardian. She’s going to talk to us about ideas and where they come from.

First, here’s a little about Karen.

Karen Duvall lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and four incredibly spoiled pets. She’s an award winning author published with Harlequin Luna and is currently working on a new contemporary fantasy romance series.

Where do ideas come from?
I’m often asked where I get my ideas for the stories I write. They come from a variety of places, even from my dreams. An idea for a romantic suspense novel can pop out of the most unlikely sources.

For example, the other day I was watching a comedy bit on TV about a group therapy session. The therapist was a woman and her patients were three men sharing some very private secrets. It was meant to be funny, but with a twist I figured out a way I could spin it into a dark and creepy storyline. I’d tell you what I came up with, but then I’d have to kill you. *grin*

Another unlikely place for inspiration is the DMV. I had to get my driver’s license renewed last week, so I spent an hour and half waiting for my number to come up. Idle minds are capable of spinning all kinds of scenarios when inspiration strikes. There were so many people at the DMV from all walks of life, old and young, some taking tests, some there for the same reason I was. My head overflowed with ideas by the time I walked out of there. My husband was with me and he contributed his own thoughts to my story stew, which included a swarmy guy and two hookers of the cougar persuasion. I swear I have enough for a whole novel. I think one of the key characters will be the elderly hunched back lady with the walker. Imagine pulling your car up next to hers at an intersection.

Ripping ideas from newspaper headlines is a tried and true method for new plots. You can find anything from local community news to national hot beds of scandal to political intrigue. I tend to gravitate toward darker themes, like human trafficking and sex tourism. These are concepts of denigration that scream high drama, and writing stories about them is my way of solving horrific crimes with my weapon of choice: a happy ending. Combine this type of story with romance and I can save the world one love story at a time.

Desert Guardian Karen Duvall MedMy romantic suspense novel DESERT GUARDIAN takes the real issue of lethal cult behavior that uses slavery and mind control, and turns it into a story about trust and healing. A lot of truth is uncovered in this tale about family tragedy and the discovery of love in an unlikely situation.

What types of suspense stories do you enjoy reading?

I love any kind of suspense as long as I’m only reading it from the comfort of my own chair. Care to tell us a little more about Desert Guardian?

Book Description:

When Kelly Bancroft receives a suicide letter from her brother, she knows the star-worshipping cult he belongs to is to blame. Cult intervention specialist—and ex-cultist—Sam Reed, aka The Arrow, has his work cut out for him when he teams up with Kelly to rescue her brother. Sam has good reason to avoid the cult that killed his mother, but he’s made it his mission to save those who have fallen under Star Mother’s spell.

Will Sam’s and Kelly’s romantic relationship help or hinder them in their struggle to stop a mass suicide? Or will they themselves fall victim to the cult’s fatal madness?

Excerpt:

Sam pulled into the dirt driveway and parked the Jeep in front of the cabin. He checked on Kelly one more time. She hadn’t moved. Her honey-colored skin seemed to glow in the soft light that shone from the deck’s pole lamp. If he leaned down and brushed his lips across her cheek, would she taste as sweet as the honey color that coated her skin? He sensed something special about this woman with a fiery spirit that rivaled his own. Right now he felt content just to look at her, relieved that she was here with him and no longer a hostage of the cult. Aching to get closer, he ran the backs of his fingers lightly over her gleaming mane of chestnut hair.

Her eyes popped open, and he yanked his hand back. She shot him a startled look before sitting up.

“We’re home,” he said, nodding at the small cabin that appeared slightly sinister in the dim light from the lamp. “My home, anyway. Are you awake enough to stand?”

She craned her neck from side to side, as if working out the kinks. Eyes narrowed, she gave him a quick once-over. “I’m fine. I thought you were dropping me off at my father’s hotel.”

“Tomorrow. Consider tonight a free stay at a cozy cabin in the woods on behalf of your new bodyguard.”

“Bodyguard? And who are you guarding me from?”

“Star Mother cult assassins, just in case they come looking for you.”

She seemed to think this over before nodding. “Fine. I’m too tired to argue with you. Did I snore?”

“Like a drunken lumberjack.”

She curled her lip at him and climbed from the Jeep. Placing both hands on her hips, she arched her back and stretched from side to side. Raising her arms as she stood on her toes, her shorts hiked up to reveal shapely thighs and a hint of booty that peeked a half-inch below the hem. He enjoyed the view.

Desert Guardian is available now from http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DG8KCKG“>Amazonhttp://www.karenduvallauthor.com/

Hydrangea … finally

Posted on by July 11, 2013

A couple of weeks ago, I told you about my green thumb, or rather, my lack of it when it comes to growing hydrangeas. I posted two photos, one of my pitiful hydrangeas, and one of my neighbor’s. You can see them here. Turns out (thanks to my sister’s flower-recognizing skills) my neighbor’s hydrangeas weren’t hydrangeas at all, but peonies. Color me embarrassed, but in my own defense, how could I see they were different when none of mine were blooming? I was sure my neighbor had said they were hydrangeas. But it’s no wonder mine were still tiny buds. Hydrangeas and peonies don’t even bloom at the same time of year.
hydrangea
So, I’m happy to report my hydrangeas are finally blooming. Not as many as I’d hoped, and they aren’t white, which they’re supposed to be. Instead, they’re pale pink, but that’s okay. I have flowers, and even though my thumb might not be bright green, it’s a relief to find out it isn’t completely black after all.

Mary Marvella’s Plan B

Posted on by July 10, 2013

Mom_Porch_3072_RPlease help me give a warm welcome to my author friend, Mary Marvella. Here’s a little info about Mary.

Mary taught school for 15 years. She now tutors, writes novels and novellas, coaches writers, edits freelance and for Gilded Dragonfly Books, and looks for the next wonderful story. Mary has published 3 novels and 2 novellas, all available at Amazon.com.

Now that we’ve taken care of the formalities, Mary, the blog is yours. Take it away.

Plan B, my favorite plan!

Thanks for inviting me to visit your blog! I have always believed having a Plan B is necessary.

When I started my first book, I just wanted to share my characters’ story. They insisted I write it. Then I decided I could sell it to a New York publisher. No one loved the story I had sweated and done without sleep to write. I’d even learned to use a computer, for God’s sake, and just enough to write the story. So I grabbed for plan B and sent it to e-publishers who also turned it down.The new plan became to publish it myself. Before I could, an editor for a publisher of erotic fiction asked to see the book. I snickered. No way would he want that book with it’s sensual love scenes but no ménages , no bondage, S&M, or well, you know. So after he bugged me and reminded me for more than a year that he wanted the book, I sent it. Lo and behold, he wanted it.

When I told Margery I’d blog for her, I expected to have a book cover and a release date for Protective Instincts, the book I finally sold. I don’t yet. Plan B again. I have other books to share, the ones I Indi-published.

If you like to read about a different kind of heroine or protagonist, give Edna Mae a chance to win your heart. The woman came to me in my dreams and poked until I finally listened. Edna Mae was shy but insistent. She buried her controlling father on her fortieth birthday and lost her virginity that very night with a stranger she never expected to see again. Perfect for a woman’s fiction book. The baby’s daddy would be history and this shy woman would raise a kid alone. Well, once I started writing the story, she set me straight. She made wonderful friends and the daddy … Not telling any more! Plan B was Edna Mae’s plan and she got it right! Read about her in The Gift.

The Gift is available now on Amazon.
