Faerie Forged
The Magicsmith Book 3
by L.R. Braden
Genre: Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance
New world, new rules . . .
Alex is screwed. She’s due at the fae Court of Enchantment in less than twenty-four hours, but she’s not even close to being ready. Her job is hanging by a fraying thread. There’s a new vampire master in town. And several of her werewolf friends have been captured by the Paranatural Task Force.
She’s their best chance for release before the full moon reveals their secret, but the Lord of Enchantment is not someone you keep waiting—even when he happens to be your grandfather. All Alex can do is call in a favor, hope to hell she can survive the plots of the fae court, and hightail it home to salvage her life.
One mistake at court could change everything . . . .
“Original and riveting.”—Book Likes Blog on A Drop of Magic, Book One of The Magicsmith series
“Great plot. Lovable characters. Heart-pounding action.”—Lauren Davis, Netgalley Reviewer on A Drop of Magic
Courting Darkness
The Magicsmith Book 2
“A great story of murder, mystery . . . and well-developed characters.”—Margie Hager, Netgalley Reviewer on A Drop of Magic
“A Drop of Magic is a damned fun and original read, with sass, action, hot men, and a whole lot of magic.” —Diana Pharaoh Francis, author of the Diamond City Magic, Magicfall, and Horngate Witches series
Deeper into the shadows. . .
The paranatural community isn’t done with Alex. She’s been summoned to the fae court, and she’s got her hands full trying to prepare. But her date with the fae will have to wait. There’s been a death at the gallery, and the man she hoped would be a part of her future is the prime suspect.
Bitter enemies pull her into the middle of a paranatural war for territory that has her dodging police, swords, teeth, and claws—not to mention the truth. The deeper she digs, the more secrets she uncovers, and the less certain she is about the innocence of the one man she wanted to trust.
She thought she was done with murder and monsters, but she’ll have to enter the belly of the beast if she hopes to save her friend.
A Drop of Magic
The Magicsmith Book 1
The war isn’t over . . .
With the world clinging to a fragile peace forced on the Fae by humanity after the Faerie Wars, metalsmith Alex Blackwood is plunged into the world of the half-fae who traffick in illegal magical artifacts. Her best friend’s murder and his cryptic last message place her in the crosshairs of a scheme to reignite the decade-old war between humans and fae.
Worse, violent attacks against her and the arrival of a fae knight on a mission force Alex to face a devastating revelation of who and what she is. To catch a killer, retrieve a dangerous artifact, and stop a war, Alex will have to accept that she’s an unregistered fae “halfer” with a unique magical talent—a talent that would change everything she believes about her past, her art, and her future.
Her world is crumbling around her, and Alex will have to decide who to trust if she and the world are going to survive.
“A Drop of Magic is a damned fun and original read, with sass, action, hot men, and a whole lot of magic.” —Diana Pharaoh Francis, author of the Diamond City Magic, Magicfall, and Horngate Witches series

With the Hope Diamond locked around her throat, Jesse Alexander finds herself in the unfortunate position of being a walking national treasure. With the Starfall stone poised to pulse and flood the world with more of its magic, she must figure out how to remove it before she becomes its pawn yet again.

Unfortunately, the stone has a mind—and plans—of its own. Add in a determined tiger, a wolf out for revenge, and an ultimatum to find her clan’s missing Starfall stone, and it will take all of Jesse’s wit and cunning to survive with her life—and her heart—intact.

The Caster Prophecy Series

by eileentroemel, posted in Book Tour
Canticle
Caster Prophecy Book 1
by LaVerne Lewis
Genre: Urban Fantasy
She’s a human with a busted ticker. He’s an ancient warlock. The only thing they have in common are birthmarks that flare to the point of pain when they’re together. But fate has other ideas…
Studying abroad despite her advancing heart disease, Leilani Gibson squeezes all the joy she can out of life. Literally bumping into the most handsome guy she’s ever seen while Christmas shopping should be the best thing that’s happened to her in quite some time, but she knows he’ll disappear when he discovers her secret.
Born into a family of Casters, Stellan Kierkegaard lives his life away from the reminder that he alone is the only one un-mated in his coven. When he collides with Leilani at a Montreal mall, his gallant attempt to get her to the hospital when she succumbs to congestive heart failure takes an unexpected turn. Now he’s forced to withhold some secrets of his own.
Stellan poses as Leilani’s fiancé until she gets the medical care she needs, but the more time they spend together, the more intense their feelings become as their birthmarks flare. If Caster prophecy is to be believed, and this reaction is only triggered in true soul mates, they must hide this fact from a trio of zealous Caster royals who have been tricked once.
The Caster couple who bears the foretold birthmark is prophesied to knit dark and light covens to lead the Caster World. Yet how can this be when Leilani is by every indication, mortal?
Opus
Caster Prophecy Book 2
When the most precious Caster artifact goes missing, its retrieval becomes the difference between peace and civil war.
Powerful warlock, Stellan Kierkegaard was united with his Caster’s Canticle in Leilani Gibson, whom he believed to be human, but is actually an equally powerful Caster who’s been raised by human parents. During surgery to repair Leilani’s severely damaged heart, the power which someone had been siphoning from her since childhood was returned, revealing her true nature.
Now, the Kierkegaard coven is on the run from their governing body, The Hemlock Society, and the unknown person or persons who plotted to relieve Leilani of her power. Shortly after learning that the second half of the Caster Prophecy, the Caster’s Opus, has been stolen from the Hemlock Society in Stockholm, Leilani is kidnapped, sending Stellan into a Caster rage.
Will Stellan and Leilani retrieve the Caster’s Opus in time to join the Dark and Light covens together as prophesied, or will the Caster World descend into chaos?
Masterpiece
Caster Prophecy Book 3
Ruling the Caster World proves dangerous, but is it as dangerous as a little-known prophecy which could be the final triumph?
Stellan and Leilani Kierkegaard balance marriage, governing an underground race of magical beings, an investigation to discover who her biological parents are, all while completing their matriculation at an Ivy League school. It seems all too easy until their lead Caster investigator turns up dead, and every conceivable clue leads back to someone trying to keep her parents’ identity a secret.
When Leilani’s grad school bestie learns the secret they’re sworn to keep at all costs, things get even more interesting in their world, particularly, the fact that her in-laws may not share her views, or fondness for humans, when it comes to the existence of Casters in a world dominated by them. Combine all this with the discovery that there’s yet another prophecy which must be fulfilled in order for them to reign over the Caster World in relative peace and prosperity.
Will Stellan and Leilani have to make the same choice her Caster parents had to make to safeguard their legacy, or will prophecy protect their Masterpiece?
LaVerne Lewis grew up watching shows like Dark Shadows, Bewitched and later Charmed and Supernatural. Her favorite authors in the genre include Anne Rice, Stephen King, Karen Marie Moning and J.R. Ward which cemented her fondness for Urban Fantasy and the Paranormal. While she works by day in an office writing dry contract language, her love for Urban Fantasy compelled her to pursue writing the types of books she loves. Now she writes her own Paranormal Romance novels in the hope that someday her name will be synonymous with her idols’.

Q&A with Author C.G. Harris
  • Are you an audiobook listener? What about the audiobook format appeals to you?
    • I love listening to audio books. I feel like when you listen to a fantastic narrator you can immerse yourself so much deeper in the story. There are no parts that you skim over or zone out on. Every word is pivotal and in an audiobook you never miss a single one.
  • Is there a particular part of this story that you feel is more resonating in the audiobook performance than in the book format?
    • I always like the verbal banter between characters. A great narrator can really bring the voices alive in a way that reading alone just can’t do. MacLeod Andrews is no exception. He brings each character in THE NINE to life. Every ounce of humor, frustration, anger and even a little jealousy between the characters comes across in his amazing narration.
  • What do you say to those who view listening to audiobooks as “cheating” or as inferior to “real reading”?
    • I say Phttttttt! Just kidding. Actually I think both are fantastic ways to experience a story. Saying an audiobook is cheating is like saying movies or television are a cheaters way of experiencing a great story. They are all different and I love each and every one. I say experience them all and have a great time escaping to a new world any way you want. And headphones won’t keep your spouse up all night with a reading lamp!
  • How did you celebrate after finishing this novel?
    • I always celebrate the same way. When I complete a novel, I gather the family, we get on Yelp and pick a restaurant we have never been to or heard of, then we head out for a great meal complete with celebratory desert. Then I head home and start over at page one, ready to begin the editing, because after all, are we as writers ever really finished with a novel? LOL.
  • In your opinion, what are the pros and cons of writing a stand-alone novel vs. writing a series?
    • Readers love to follow authors and great storylines. If you write a novel that readers enjoy, they will want to spend more time in that world and with those characters. With a stand alone, readers don’t get that chance. With a series, they get the opportunity to immerse themselves into the world you created and get to know your characters on a deeper level with every book.
  • What’s your favorite:
      • Food – anything WITH gluten
      • Drink – scotch
      • Book – Sandman Slim
      • Television show – Drunk History
      • Movie – Princess Bride
      • Vehicle – Harley
      • Sports team – Denver Broncos
      • Dream Vacation – Galapagos Island
      • Decade- the 80s
  • Are any of those things referenced in appearance in your work?
    • There are a few of my favorite things referenced in The Nine. Growing up in the 80s, this decade ranks #1 for me (plus there’s so many fun, quirky aspects from that time, that it provides a wealth of great material to use). The main character, Gabe, died in the 80s, and is now in hell. He loves his 501 jeans and hightops. And, The Princess Bride, an 80s classic, is quoted a few times in the book. A true fan of the movie will have no problem spotting those references. The Nine is the first in the Judas Files series. No one rides a Harley in this book, but rest assured, someone will in future books.
  • What bits of advice would you give to aspiring authors?
    • Don’t do it unless writing is the one thing you love most in the world … then go home and decide if you have the tenacity to withstand being let down by the one thing you love most in the world. Because that’s what writing is. A series of catastrophic, emotional, soul crushing failures dotted with pinpricks of joy that somehow make it all worthwhile.
  • Do you have any tips for authors going through the process of turning their books into audiobooks?
    • I always love a new challenge and through the process of creating an audiobook, I learned a lot. Because of the increased popularity of audiobooks, I wanted to get on board as soon as possible, so did my research and jumped in. Here are three tips for anyone considering creating an audiobook. Tip #1-Find a Great narrator From my research, I knew the importance of having a great narrator for my book; a narrator can make or break an audiobook. A big difference between print/ebooks and audio, is that instead of following authors as with books, audiobook fans will follow narrators. It was my goal was to find an amazing narrator who already had a following. MacLeod fit the bill and I was thrilled when he agreed. Tip #2-Go Wide As indie authors, there are two main options for publishing an audiobook. You can go exclusive with ACX (Amazon) or go wide with a company like, Findaway Voices. I chose to go wide in order to make the audiobook available around the world and in libraries. Findaway does an amazing job with their distribution. Currently they distribute to over 40 different markets (Including Audible, Amazon and iTunes). Through ACX, audiobooks are only distributed through Amazon, Audible and iTunes. If you go exclusive you can’t put your audiobook on other platforms. You can go non-exclusive with ACX, but your royalty rate drops. To me, having my audiobook available through as many markets as possible makes sense. Tip #3-Research Audiobooks are gaining in popularity every day and the industry is shifting and trying to keep up. It’s important to understand your options and the services available for you to create an amazing audiobook. Read articles, listen to podcasts and talk to other authors who have already published their audiobooks. Find out any challenges they may have experienced and what advice they have for you. Learn everything you can so you can make an informed decision before you invest in an audiobook.
  • What’s next for you?
    • The Nine is the first book in the Judas Files series. I am hard at work on the next book, The New Dominion and I’m very excited about the story line. Same great cast of characters, lots of LOL banter and more trips Topside for Gabe and Alex. Plus, this one weaves in elements of voo doo and new challenges for our hero. Watch for this book and audiobook in the spring of 2020. In addition to the Judas Files series, I also have a sci-fi series, The Rax. Book 2 of that series is up for preorder and will be available in mid December.

  4. It gives the voices in your head a break, Lord knows they need it.
  5. Listening to The Nine in bed does not require a reading lamp which would keep your spouse up, causing extreme exhaustion in the morning apparent by the faceplant in the oatmeal.
  6. MacLeod Andrews is the BEST narrator in the world and the underworld!
  7. My mom said it’s good.
  8. Sound proof headphones can tune out the world, especially those eye-rolling teenagers who think they are way smarter than you.
  9. MacLeod Andrews will make you laugh until you pee your pants. Listen at your own risk.
  10. Listening to The Nine audiobook is clinically proven to make you more attractive to the opposite sex. (For best results combine it with generous portions of alcohol.)

Origin of the Vampire

Origin of the Vampire
The Cycle of life Book 1
by Ruth Spencer
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Christophe Haram is vampire, his skin is pale, his hair black. An avid reader of conspiracy theories, he is certain the mythical human race exist. During his wild youth he darkened his skin and dyed his hair, he remains unruly to this day.
A new dayclub, Sunrise, opens in his home town, Orionsby; and it appears to be a hotbed for trafficking missing vampires. While investigating Sunrise, Christophe uncovers terrifying tales of missing vampire spanning decades.
When, the manufactured bloods vampires drink runs out, vampires become feral.
Will chaos ensue?
And when an old friend returns with a proposition, is Christophe brave enough to accept it?
Ruth lives in Rothley, Leicestershire, England with her space obsessed husband Simon and her black cat Violet, who just wants a warm knee. She found her love of books at a young age and remembers the smell of the old library on her monthly visits with her mum. Together they would bring home books of many different genres and Ruth quickly moved from reading teen novels to digesting adult books.
Ruth was always afraid of horror films, she remembers the time her mum bought her The Thing to watch, thinking it a nice science fiction film. Ruth was terrified and her feelings for horror films remained until her mid twenties, when, suddenly she began to appreciate horror films and began reading Urban Fantasy books. Vampire films quickly became a favourite and the idea for her debut novel slowly began to take place.
Currently Ruth is writing the sequel to Origin of the Vampire and when she isn’t writing and promoting her book she loves to relax by drawing portraits. The great outdoors is a big passion and holidays in The Lake District and by the sea in Cornwall and Dorset give Ruth great inspiration. But it was walking in the woods close to home where Ruth had her eureka moment and worked out the final piece of the puzzle for her debut novel. Walking in the countryside near home remains a weekly ritual, and of course coffee and cake is essential before returning home.

Shadow World Trilogy

by eileentroemel, posted in Book Tour
Shadow World Trilogy Boxed Set
by Brandy Nacole
Genre: Urban Fantasy
I must dare to be different in a world where I’m unwelcome in order to save the one person left in my life, my half-sister Addie.
This deluxe boxed set contains the complete Bestselling Shadow World Trilogy (Uniquely Unwelcome, Blood Burdens, and Sacrifice: A New Dawn).
Enjoy the thrill as power is pushed to its limit, hearts are broken, and some pay the ultimate price as Racquel fights an ancient evil that is determined to make the Earth bleed, and Racquel with it.
The box set includes:
Uniquely Unwelcome
The Shadow World Volume 1
Racquel is unique. The bloodlines of four of the most powerful beings in the Shadow World are intertwined within her DNA. She has never craved attention. She just wants to be able to live as normal life as she can. But she’s about to find that even though she’s uniquely unwelcome wherever she goes, her abilities also make her the best chance the Shadow World has to stop a threat to all the Shadow races. Once arriving home, Racquel finds that greater evils exist and that the person she cares for most in this world, her half-sister Addie, has been kidnapped along with other Shadow World beings. Racquel finds herself facing horrible odds with those who would rather see her dead than alive. As her journey continues, Racquel learns more about herself, what she is capable of, and that not every being looks at her as an abomination. Coy, a human captive that Racquel saves from the Vampires, starts showing kindness toward her. Racquel tries putting distance between her and the human boy but as they spend more time together it becomes harder and harder for Racquel to fight the affection she wants and needs. But will Coy’s friendship and her new found discoveries be enough to help Racquel unravel the strangest mystery that has ever plagued the Shadow World?
Blood Burdens
The Shadow World Trilogy Volume 2
As someone with four Shadow bloodlines, Racquel is uniquely unwelcome even among her fellow werewolves, shape-shifters, vampires, and witches. Growing up, she was bullied and tormented for being a “hybrid,” a condition frowned upon by Shadow society. After saving her sister and a number of other kidnapped Shadows from a diabolical plot to create a Shadow army, many have found a new respect for Racquel, but she is far from accepted in Shadow society, and the evil is far from over. To complicate matters, Racquel now finds herself torn between two brothers. Coy is caring and has helped Racquel through her struggles, and Micah, who Racquel has only met once but who is somehow, having dream conversations with him. Racquel becomes torn between following her heart while breaking it at the same time. In the second installment of the Shadow World series, Racquel and her sister Addie face off with the Shadow leaders against a threat that could bring the world to its knees. Power will be pushed to its limit, hearts will be broken, and some will pay the ultimate price as Racquel and her group of Shadows fight against an ancient evil that is determined to make the earth bleed and Racquel with it.
Sacrifice: A New Dawn
The Shadow World Trilogy Book 3
Racquel was once uniquely unwelcome, an outcast in both the human and Shadow worlds. In desperation, the Shadows—the loose alliance of Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Shape Shifters and Faeries—turned to Racquel for help against the sorceress Cerelia, who threatened all Shadows. Now that Racquel has protected the Shadows by defeating Cerelia, it seems like things are picking up. Racquel is ready to challenge the Shadows’ Ruling Council on the injustice of the laws that made her and her family outcasts among the Shadows, and which is causing suffering among her friends. Racquel has little time to enjoy her victory. Micah, an innocent subjected to experiments by Cerelia and now the only other person in the world like Racquel, is summoned to appear before the Ruling Council to be examined. The Council has already warned that if Micah is deemed to be “unclean” and a threat to the Shadows, he will be executed. And there are agendas hidden in agendas, as well. A secret faction wants to challenge Racquel, who they still see as being an unclean creature due to her mixed-Shadow heritage. Worse still, the mysterious prophecy made by Kaya, queen of the Fay, is about to become true, and Racquel is about to be faced with her deepest fear: that she is still unwelcome in the world. Betrayed trust and a new danger to the Shadow world are waiting for Racquel, and in the end, she may have to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to save the world and her friends from destruction.
