4 Delightful Divas for Nine Inches of Snow and the Ebony Princess!

“Gracie C. McKeever has written a great fantasy, which takes the reader on a wild ride. Ms. McKeever has taken fantasy from some common fairy tales and paired it with modern day slang and her own writing style. [Nine Inches of Snow and the Ebony Princess] moves along at an easy pace, building with action and drama to keep you reading. The characters are likeable and well developed, as is the story line. If you have already read and enjoyed other McKeever stories, this one will not leave you disappointed.” 4 Delightful Divas, Melissa for Dark Diva Reviews. http://darkdivareviews.webs.com/paranormal.htm

4.5 Kisses for Rapture 1 from Two Lips Reviews!

“The Prosecutor’s Paramour is a superb prequel to Ms. Santiago’s The Wives’ Tales series. Readers will be sucked into a futuristic world where women are relegated to the role of second-class citizens. Evie proves herself a worthy adversary by keeping Zachary on his toes. Zachary’s many secrets are revealed to Evie in unexpected ways. I have a whole new appreciation for Ms. Santiago’s talent as she constantly kept this reader guessing, even though I knew the ultimate outcome!

Ms. McKeever is a new author to me and subsequently I’ve never read any of the previous installments of her Sisters of Emsharra series. I found this novella to be the hardest one to enjoy, struggling to juggle the back-story with the main and keeping the secondary characters straight in my mind. I found Michael’s conflict to be one that tore at my heart. I empathized with how he could feel anything positive, let alone love, for Xevera after his mother suffered so cruelly at the hands of one of her people. I admired Xevera’s spunk as she bravely faced all of Michael’s hatred.

Ms. Ashbury begins her new trilogy The Song of the Sirens with The Enchantress. Twyla and Nicholas are a great team, loving and working together. Twyla gives her complete trust to Nicholas, thinking he might be the perfect man for her. Nicholas reworks his initial perception about Twyla as he learns more about this amazing woman. I was intrigued with the sirens and wished more background had been incorporated into this story. Knowing Ms. Ashbury, the second and third installments of this promising series will give us this and more!

A Devil’s Bargain was an utter delight to read! Isabelle is everything Devon wishes he could have, but knows is beyond reach. Ms. Wildes turns up the sexual heat as Devon introduces the virginal Isabelle to all the delights of the flesh. Isabelle not only stirs Devon’s libido, but through her wonderful spirit, encourages him to care again. A Devil’s Bargain is one historical that I’ll repeatedly turn to to warm up a cold winter’s night!”

Jenny Penn’s Intro

Hey Everybody!

Sorry to show up late, but my computer was feeling under the weather. I’ve nursed it back to health and am here to tell you about myself. I am new author, but a long time avid reader of romances.

I started reading romances as a teenager and have been working on writing one for just about as long. I’m pleased to say that Siren is going to change my title from writer to author in the fall when they publish my first two books, Deception and Mating Claire.

While Deception is a contemporary/ménage trios and Mating Claire is a werewolf/paranormal series, you’ll find that they have my love of strong female heroes in common. As much as I love alpha male characters, I’ve never been a big fan of weaker, shy female characters.

My preference probably has a lot to do with being raised by my mom, who is a very “take charge” kind of woman. My father is very much that way too, so you can imagine what it like when they try to work on things together.

Beyond the strong personalities of my characters, you’ll see my family influence in the dialog I write. My family has always been very close and we spend a lot of time just sitting around talking to each other. I’ve spent many years, working on writing believable dialog and (hopefully) have achieved my goal.

The last thing you’ll notice about my books is that they’re all set in the southeast. I grew up in Atlanta. After graduating from college, I moved around a lot. I’ve lived in Alabama (an area regionally known as LA), Florida and now reside along the southern coast of South Carolina (an area regionally known as the Lowcountry).

Other than those three things, you probably wouldn’t find much consistency in my writing. Outside of series, I enjoy reading and creating stories in all the themes erotic romance include. I love contemporary books as much as I love science fiction based stories. I enjoy long dramas and devour quick, light books with ease.

Undressing the Hero...

Hi, I'm Phoebe Matthews and the link to my website is in the sidebar. I am starting an urban paranormal series for BookStrand titled Mudflat. The first novel will be released in eBook format in July. The cover is by wonderful artist Jinger Heaston. Yesterday I left a comment from a friend about my book cover on Paranormal Monday, a fun chat site hosted by BookStrand's own Destiny Blaine.

As several participants enjoyed it, I'll quote it again.

“My friend Phoebe Matthews got the cover art for her new book TARBABY TROUBLE, which is this wonderful mix of astrology, sword-and-sorcery, and urban fantasy set in the Pacific Northwest. And, of course, the first thing she and I noticed was that her blond barbarian hero lost his shirt along the way to becoming cover art...”
