Blood Craving #CoverReveal #PNR

Today is all Blood Craving, the 5th novel in the Sons of Navarus series coming later this year. Thanks to CBLS for hosting this cover reveal and thank you to all the great blogs who have joined with me to introduce Sion's story to the world.

So without further ado, here's the blurb for Blood Craving:

I am everything you hunger for. I am vampire.

For Sion, reason and logic are his only solace. Since becoming vampire in the 1940s, he has shunned feelings, morphing into a being more machine than man. As a Son, he keeps his distance from the others, allowing only one soul in the world to stir his icy heart.

A vampire turned in ancient Greece, Kali is the only hope the Sons and the Order of Macaria have to decipher the prophecy now that Thane is gone. But her past hides a dark secret that has finally caught up with her. Demons she only barely controlled now threaten her very life and the safety of all dear to her.

The one vampire who can help her knows nothing of how to reach another's heart, but without him, they both may be lost.

His Passion, Her Temptation Blurb

Granger Pharma executive Monica Granger is hiding her relationship from her family. She has to. Her lover is the son of her father's biggest business rival. Ben Coron is more than Monica can resist; he's everything she's ever wanted—including dominant in bed.

But when Coron Health makes a play for Granger Pharma, Monica's relationship—and her life—blow wide open. She loses her job, and her family rejects her. Someone's stealing Granger's vital trade secrets, and worse, Monica's brother is dodging attempts on his life.

Their passion is too strong to keep Monica and Ben apart for long. They must thwart the takeover and heal the rift between their families. If they don't, they'll never trust one another enough to pursue the dominance and submission they both need.

His Passion, Her Temptation Excerpt

"So, do you want to eat now … or later?" Monica's smile turned seductive.

"Well, I think I might need you first." His hand reached to touch the silkiness of her hair.

"I agree. Food can wait." Monica pulled his head down and kissed him, greedy to taste his lips.

Without breaking the kiss, Ben guided her out of the hallway into the living room.

Monica slipped her finger under the edge of his collar. "You know, it doesn't seem fair that you get to call all the shots."

"Oh? I call all the shots?" Ben's hands roamed to her rear and squeezed.

"Yes … you decide when and how …" Monica licked the edge of his lip.

"One, that isn’t quite true, and two, I haven't heard you complaining." He gave her a playful pinch on the ass.

"Oh no, I'm not complaining." Her hand moved to the front of his pants, cupping him.

"Then what?" His hands slid down to the back of her thighs.

"I thought it might be fun to … try a little something else." She rubbed him through the fabric of his pants.

"What did you have in mind?" Ben swept his hands up her back and tangled his fingers in her hair.

Monica tilted her head back. "Do you recall that night before I left for Hawaii?"

"I do believe it is burned into my memory."

"Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be interesting to reverse things." Monica observed his face for a reaction.

"Reverse things?"

"Oh yes." Her finger laid a trail down the front of his chest. "You," she poked him gently, "would do as I say."

"I see. Are you finding you have a dominant streak?" he teased.

"I'm not sure, but I have a desire to find out." The thought of taking charge appealed to Monica, not all the time, but perhaps occasionally.

Ben smiled. "That sounds … enticing."

"I hoped you'd think so." Monica walked around him, patting his ass with her palm.

"How would you start?"

"I'd tell you to disrobe for my viewing pleasure." Monica enjoyed looking at the hard planes of Ben's body, so different from her own curves.

"Shall I?"

"Oh, yes." Monica crossed the few steps to the seating area and settled herself into an upholstered chair.

Ben approached Monica and then turned his back toward her. He loosened his tie and pulled it free, tossing it over his shoulder in Monica's direction before unbuttoning his shirt and letting the fabric fall to the floor. He turned slightly and caught her eye. Monica flushed under his wicked gaze.

My Three Year Anniversary! #amwriting

Three years ago today, I decided that after writing for years and never taking that final step that finally, I was going to do it. I was going to pursue achieving the goal of being published.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I walked out of the local Borders on a Monday night with my now editor, turned to her, and said, "I'm going to get my next book published. I can do this." Her answer? "Of course you can." (She can be very supportive even though as an editor, she's tough as nails.)

My son was away at Boy Scout camp for the week and I sat down on that Tuesday morning after having a fantastic dream that Monday night about a race of beings descended from humans but blessed with powers above and beyond what humans possess. I wrote ideas all day and badgered my son's father (my ex) with ideas all the way up to camp to see Christiaan on Wednesday for Family Night as I tried to find a name for my new kind of paranormal being. I chose the name Aeveren on that drive and still have the envelope with all the brainstorming scribbles on it.

I wrote every day until late August when I had a brand new idea come to me one day in the shower. Wild things go through my mind as I wash my hair. :) That was the day I came up with the idea for Stolen Destiny (technically the second Aeveren story), the book that would push aside the first Aeveren book and become the one that I finally got published.

Back then, I was pursuing traditional publishing and not indie. Indie didn't come along until after I submitted the book to a publisher and had it accepted. Regardless, I had decided I was going to have my book published and I did it.

I began Stolen Destiny in early September and finished it at Thanksgiving. Since then, I've been writing pretty much non-stop. By the time I returned to school from Thanksgiving break, I was busy writing the follow up book, Destiny Redeemed, which I finished in March, almost 4 months later. And as they say, the rest is history.

Now three years later, I've written 6 full length novels, 3 novellas, and 4 short stories, along with a 7th full length novel under the K.M. Scott name that I'll be releasing in a little over a month at the end of August. I've spent my time in Victorian England and with a group of modern day sexy vampire warriors who are as much of my world as anyone I know in real life. It's been a wonderful three years with these characters!

I want to say thank you to all the incredible readers and fans who have taken to my books and taken me into their hearts, bookcases, and ereaders. Your support means the world to me, so I'm giving away two copies of the Blood Avenged audiobook. Just leave a comment making sure to leave your email address and I'll choose two winners on July 20.




It's been a great three years, and just wait until you see what's coming next!

Nikki Prince & Shyla Colt Guest Post

I want to welcome Nikki Prince and Shyla Colt to my blog today! So without further ado, take it away ladies!

Today Nikki and I are going to get a little personal. We’re talking about how we met, what it was like writing The Bond together, and What writing means to us.

Looking back now I think I met Shyla on Facebook when I was screaming (in type of course) a fan girl scream after reading her book Don’t Fear The Reaper.  The story caught my eye because for one I love the song by Blue Oyster Cult (It also makes me smile and think of “I need more cowbell, baby” from the SNL skit with Christopher Walken).  Yes my mind makes all kind of crazy connections.  I remember friending Shyla on my Facebook and how open she was and how friendly. 

The thing I loved about Shyla was that she’s always treated me as an equal even when I wasn’t published then.  Then through getting published and us finding out we had a lot in common such as our geekdom, being married to Caucasian males and having children we decided to write one together and The Bond was born.

Being able to write allows me to create worlds and the characters who live within them.  Although I have written contemporary stories I love writing in the paranormal genre because it allows even more world building and such dynamic characters.

It was a pleasure to write The Bond with Shyla about puma shifters who were destined to be together even though others had another idea about that.  Rafael and Sanura are strong characters who in the midst of trying to change their Pride they find one another and learn that change can be a blessing and not a curse.

Okay, can I just say Nikki is too sweet! Reading this got me a little misty-eyed. She’s a fantastic woman I was lucky enough to get to know. I’m all about paying it forward, and it made me proud to see her go after her dream, capture it, and come into her own. If you’ve never read her work, I highly suggest it.  Writing with her reminded me of a slumber party. You stay up too late, go back and forth with what if scenarios, giggle, cry… you know all the high points. This was my first co-authored piece, and I’m looking forward to more collaborating.

Writing is life for me. As long as I can remember I’ve been a reader and a writer. For me, those two go hand in hand. With my writing I had a safe place where I always fit in and life was limited only by my imagination. I fall in love with my characters every time… even the villains. Sometimes the stories I tell are there’s alone. Other times pieces of my life slip in and I find myself healed and wiser. Looking at situations from the outside bring amazing clarity. So, I guess to summarize, my writing feeds my soul, the creative monster, and keeps me sane at the same time.

Blurb

Sanura Bast is willing to risk everything to keep her Pride of Pumas safe from Logan’s scheme to sell their land off to the highest bidder, including masquerading as his fiancée. After almost a year playing a role that disgusts her, she gets the intangible proof she’s been looking for. Desperate to end the charade, she turns to her ally, Rafael.

Banished for losing his control with a human, Rafael’s been looking for a way back to his Pride and to Sanura ever since. The woman set his blood on fire before she was old enough to accept what he wanted from her. Together they plot to stop Logan before he becomes chief, and now she has the proof they need to save her Pride. With that goal in sight, Rafael is ready to take what’s always been his and claim Sanura as his own.

Wicked Scavenger Hunt

Welcome to my stop on the Wicked Scavenger Hunt, which is going on from July 1 through July 30! It's Day 8 of the scavenger hunt, and for my part, I'm giving away an ebook copy of the first book in my Sons of Navarus series, Blood Avenged (the cover is below). All you have to do is answer the following question when you find it in the blurb and excerpt!

 Make sure you enter in the Rafflecopter thing and NOT in the comments.

Blood Avenged Blurb:
I am everything you desire. I am vampire.

Powerful and manipulative, Vasilije does as he pleases. A vampire beholden to no one, he takes what he desires, drinking deeply the pleasures this life has to offer.

When one of his own is staked, Vasilije must travel to New Orleans to exact his revenge. There he meets Sasa, a beautiful woman who arouses him like no other has for centuries. Vasilije’s need for vengeance is equaled only by his passion for her, but what he finds in his revenge is just the beginning...

Excerpt:
Vasilije didn’t bother to turn the lights on once inside. In truth, as a vampire, he saw as well in the dark as humans did in the light. Even more, there was no point in acting like they were going to sit on the couch and talk or watch television.

He knew what she wanted and he wanted it too.

Closing the door behind him, he reached out to her and pulled her to him, enjoying the feel of her body pressed to his. She was so warm. So willing.

Her hands slid over his stomach and chest as she arched up to kiss him. Bending down, his lips grazed hers for a moment before he pulled her closer, wanting what she offered.

Warm and wet, her mouth eagerly pressed against his and her tongue met his, teasing him with the tip. His fangs had slid into his mouth at the first touch of her hands on his body, and each playful flick of her tongue came so close, just missing them. To feel her tongue against his fangs would be heaven.

His hand tightened its grip in her hair and tugged, making her moan into his mouth. God, he wanted to hear that sound again. The sound of a woman needy for everything he could give her.

Remember to put your answer to my question in the Rafflecopter below and be sure to stop at all the blogs this month for a chance to win lots of prizes. Just check out the Linky below the Rafflecopter for all the great stops!

Crash Into Me - K.M. Scott #contemporaryromance #comingsoon

My alter-ego that I write contemporary romance under, K.M.Scott, is getting ready for the release of her first book, Crash Into Me, on September 18. It's the first in the Heart of Stone trilogy and a book I'm very excited about. Here's the blurb:

What would you give up for everything?

Tristan Stone was powerful, commanding, sex incarnate. And he wore it all so well. From the moment his mesmerizing gaze met mine, I had no choice but surrender to everything he was. His power. His decadence. His passion. He was all I never knew I needed.

He wanted to possess me, and I wanted to be his everything. All I had to do was accept what he offered. But everything has a price.

The world he gave me fulfilled my wildest dreams, but would that be enough when the past crashed into the present?

Be sure to check the K.M. Scott blog for updates, along with her Facebook and Twitter, and add the book on Goodreads and recommend it to all your friends who love sexy contemporary romance!
