Fed up with the slushy snow of winter, and the frigid Canadian wizards Julie McNabb wants a transfer to somewhere warm, and where the men are smoking hot!

Now if only Julie can convince Vance to give up on Mrs. Right, for Mrs. right now!
Teaser Excerpt:
“There has to be something more than this,” I sighed as the broom came dangerously close to the road. Before I turned into witch jam, I used my magic to stop the broom, tilting it up, and slowing its descent until my purple boots skidded against the pavement.
“Like what?” Skippy asked.
“I don’t know, but flying around at night, maintained spells, checking perimeters? How is that living? I want a life that’s exciting. I don’t want to die a thousand years from now, regretting I lived all my life in Hamilton.”

Blurb/Book Description:
They call it Deadtown: the city’s quarantined section for its inhuman and undead residents. Most humans stay far from its border—but Victory Vaughn, Boston’s only professional demon slayer, isn’t exactly human…
Boston’s demons have been disappearing, and Vicky’s clients are canceling left and right. While fewer demons might seem like a good thing, Vicky suspects foul play. A missing Celtic cauldron from Harvard’s Peabody museum leads her to an unwelcome conclusion: Pryce, her demi-demon cousin and bitter enemy, is trying to regain his full powers.
But Pryce isn’t alone. He’s conjured another, darker villain from Vicky’s past. To stop them from destroying everything she loves, she’ll have to face her own worst fear—in the realm of the dead itself.

BN ID: 2940014752671

Blurb/Book Description:
She claimed the muggers were demons, but of course Jason didn’t believe her. At first.
When a mysterious woman appears in a dirty alley to rescue Jason Latimer from a pair of muggers, he tries to write her off as a garden variety lunatic. But he can’t shake the memory of her intense green eyes that seemed to flash gold, or the glowing sword she’d worn on her hip.
She calls herself Alex (no last name) like she’d made it up on the spot, and she offers Jason her protection. From what, she can’t or won’t say. He refuses, and that night he dreams of a dark man with the same offer. His black eyes flash blood and garnet, and he smells of burning things. Jason refuses him, too.
A chance meeting brings Alex and Jason together again, and she tells him of the Guardians: two immortal beings created near the beginning of time with the express purpose of fighting for mortal-kind’s soul. She is Light, and the man from Jason’s dream is Dark. Jason must choose, because Lucifer, for reasons purely his own, has unleashed the armies of Hell to hunt Jason down.
But there are things about Jason that not even he knows, and he’ll face hard truths and bitter choices as he struggles to find his place in a world redefined. Will he rise to the challenge, or, when the time comes, will he falter?
From Renaissance Florence to the French Revolution, from World War II to the modern streets of New Orleans, The Dark Man’s Son is a riveting journey filled with unforgettable characters, wry humor, dark twists, and a touch of romance.

We are privilaged to be joined by the amazing Jacqueline Paige today. She took time out of her busy schedule to share with us the strength shown in her characters. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
Here is an excerpt:
“I can’t imagine living the way Felicity has had to, Jacinda either for that matter. When I was growing up we moved around a lot, I averaged two schools a year for most of my childhood so I can relate to moving as much as Felicity has had to. What I couldn’t do is remove myself from the normal things in life. I may have moved around often, but I was still able to have friends and interact with people.“

Praise for When Copper Suns Fall:
“The author’s style was fluid and there were lovely passages and lines throughout that I simply loved. The pacing flowed so well I felt like I was on a boat ride, grabbing onto the railings at times when the waves got too rocky until I was able to settle back and begin the ride all over again.” — The Reader Girls Blog spot

Keith Austin recently took the time out of his busy schedule to share with us an amazing character interview. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Here is an excerpt:
“KA: So, Mr Eric Elland, how did you come to write your book Grymmer: The True Story of the Town that Died of Shame?
EE: It’s a good title, isn’t it? A little long perhaps but it does rather get the idea across. Well, I started writing it after my last parishioner left town. She was quite old and seemed to have got the idea in her head that Cleaver Flay was “looking at her funny”.“
