RT Review -

Today I received the April copy of RT Book Reviews and it starts out like this on the Urban Fantasy page:

WELCOME TO MUDFLAT, BABY
4.5 (hightest rating) = FANTASTIC- Keeper

The second book in the Mudflat series is a supernatural comic romp full of non-stop action, fantastic characters and a hero you’ll love. Tarvik and Claire balance each other perfectly as they battle the forces of evil. Two subsequent books in the series are available.
SUMMARY: Mudflat definitely has its own zip code. There are wizards, trolls, witches, and other assorted residents with varying degrees of magic at their fingertips...

Mudflat Fortune Cookie -

From the fortuneteller: INDECISION ON THURSDAY, DISAGREEMENT ON SATURDAY. OUCH. OKAY, A FEW GOOD INFLUENCES SWEETEN THE ATMOSPHERE ON SUNDAY.

For this week’s fortune cookie, check the Predictions page.

DEMON LOVERS -

Hadn’t know I’d created one until I read the new December Realms of Fantasy magazine. There’s a great article by SatyrPhil Brucato, and isn’t that a great name? He traces demon lovers from historical figures to modern fiction, Lord Byron to Edward Cullen. Easy to recognize Graham in Deja Vu Lover fitting right in with that group.

The fifth MUDFLAT book, my current work-in-progress, also has a demon lover, and this time I knew that’s what he was but I wasn’t sure how to describe him. Or how he would react to events. Again, ROF to the rescue!

For this week’s fortune cookie, check the Predictions page at Phoebe’s place.

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

Previously only available in Rapture 1 print anthology, Sentinel's Hunger was released today for the first time in electronic format:

Falling to a rare sentinel illness and separated from her charges during a retrieval mission Xevera Nanay encounters the biggest threat to her survival but more importantly her autonomy when paramedic Michael Constantine recognizes and imprisons her to exact revenge for what was done to his mother by her kind.

Duty-bound and loyal Xevera Nanay must come to terms with her heritage of betrayal and treachery when a rare sentinel condition initiates a dangerous and primordial hunger in her that must be fed…by a human.

His conception the result of a rape, Michael Constantine knows what it's like to be unloved and unwanted. When his mother is finally committed after suffering a mental breakdown, he is left an eight-year-old at the mercy of the state's foster system.

Michael, however, is a survivor and the only one in the world who ever believed his mother's story about being attacked by an "other-worldly being." Now an FDNY paramedic, he has dedicated the last twenty-five-years of his life to finding answers and exacting revenge.
But when he is faced with Xevera, a distant cousin of the very being who is responsible for fathering him, will he be able to survive…a sentinel's hunger?

4 Cherries for Nine Inches of Snow and the Ebony Princess!

“This is the first work I’ve read by Gracie McKeever, and I enjoyed it a great deal. The storyline, which draws elements from different well-known fairytales, is tight and well written, and the characters are all realistic and well-developed. Heroine Aziza Lopez is the right combination of uncertain and independent. Because she and hunky hero David Healey get to meet before he ends up a comatose patient on her nursing ward, we also get to see her fiery side, especially after she witnesses his shape-shifting. David is flawed but completely likable, the nice guy driven by need who still tries to do the right thing. I wasn’t expecting the paranormal twist to this story, when David turns to a wolf at the moment his life is put in danger, but it fits right into the plot. I don’t normally read a lot of paranormal, but I thought David’s shifting between worlds was well done and easy to follow.” 4 Cherries, Reviewed by Dandelion for Whipped Cream.
