Shall we start with the 99 cents Sale for Award winning A MAGIC REDEMPTION is the fifth book in the award winning A DEMON’S WITCH SERIES! The book takes place in Ireland after a deal is brokered but revenge is afoot.

A little about A WITCH’S JOURNEY – .Former Navy Seal, Lathen Quartz helps Pepper, a powerful witch, achieve her life-long dream of a wild life rescue, but can they save the McKay magic & their love?

Pepper McKay comes from a long line of powerful witches. Unfortunately, magic brings her nothing but trouble. She learned the love of wildlife rescue and rehab from her Aunt Ashling. After graduating from college, Pepper works for Salem Wildlife Sanctuary and lives from paycheck to paycheck until she inherits the McKay property in Lobster Cove. With the family land and resources, she dares to dream of starting her own wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center.

Lathen Quartz, a former Navy SEAL turned handyman maintains the enchanted McKay property for the McKay estate. But someone is trying to steal the McKay magic. Lathen offers to help Pepper achieve her life-long dream of building a wildlife center. During the long hours spent together on the project, their mutual attraction can’t be denied. But each harbors a deep, dark secret. Will they overcome their demons and give love a chance?

A peek between the pages of A WITCH’S JOURNEY:

“What the hell are you doing here, and what have you done to my dog?” Pepper shouted flinging the log to the ground and yanking her cell phone out of her pocket. She tapped in 9-1-1, the operator answered on the first ring. “This is Pepper McKay.” That was all she had time to say, so she left the line open. When she circled her arm above her head, the wind picked up. As she spread her fingers wide, the rain came down in sheets, lightning streaked through the night sky, and thunder shook the ground. The dog glanced up at Pepper, blood clouding its eye, barked once, and barreled into the woods. Mr. Green started to get up off the ground, and Pepper shoved her foot on top his chest. “Don’t move. Or I’ll…”

“You’ll what?” Mr. Green rolled to the side and grabbed Pepper’s leg. Slick due to the rain, he couldn’t hold on and Pepper kicked his side and jumped out of reach.

She sliced her arm through the air. Unseen forces slammed Mr. Green to the ground. His eyes glowed an eerie green. Pain erupted in Pepper’s head. He was drawing on her magic. Suddenly, a rainbow shower of knife-sharp feathers zoomed out of the cabin door, across the air, and sliced through the man’s clothes, pinning him to the ground. Red and blue flashing lights reflected against the cabin’s wet exterior. The sirens’ wail echoed all around her, and Kaylee’s scream broke through the chaos, then everything went black.

Lathen slammed on the brakes as he turned into the driveway behind the police vehicle. A rainbow of slivers rose from the ground and streaked into the cabin. He rubbed his eyes, shook his head, and jumped to the ground searching for Pepper. The 9-1-1 call came in at the police station as he’d finished the wiring and was testing the computers. When he arrived, she was lying on the ground, and Kaylee circled above her screeching. As he knelt over her, she bolted upright.

A little about A WITCH’S HOLIDAY WEDDING –Torn in too many directions will Pepper and Lathen make it to the alter?

Elemental witch, Pepper McKay and former Navy SEAL, Lathen Quartz have built Lobster Cove Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center on enchanted McKay land. During a romantic interlude on Halloween night, Pepper happily agrees to become Lathen’s wife. What better day than Winter Solstice for their wedding in a town that loves celebrations and Christmas. However, planning a wedding and operating their wildlife center takes a toll on both Pepper and Lathen.

When the couple takes a much-needed break for Thanksgiving with family in Colorado, a Maine snowstorm fills the center with injured wildlife. Lathen finds himself drawn into a covert military mission, while trying to deal with issues concerning friends and family. Pepper wants to cancel the wedding. Is she having second thoughts? Will the nosy McKay ghosts, Lathen’s werewolf pack, Pepper’s parents, and her best friend help or hinder the wedding and holiday plans?

A sneak peek between the pages of A WITCH’S HOLIDAY WEDDING!

After she set her glass down, Lathen brushed a couple strands of hair out of her eyes and searched her face. “Are you all right?”

“I’m tired, my wedding is in a couple weeks, I have ghosts fighting over who is going to do what. Guests that have no idea the place is haunted and… Your family and pack, my parents, Gwen… To top it all off, the head of my clan, who is a ghost, is sitting in front of me wanting to know who is coming to the wedding and whether the ghosts will be outed. How could I possibly be all right?”

“When you put it that way.” Lathen chuckled. “It sounds just a bit… I don’t know…crazy?” His right eyebrow winged up. She saw mischief sparkle in his eyes. “We could still elope,” he offered.

Dec 13th Celebrate the Full Cold Moon on Friday December 13th

The full moon of December — which is the final one of this decade – arrived last night. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, this December’s full moon, which is rising in Gemini, is being called the Cold Moon, the Long Night Moon and the Moon before Yule. It’s been said, the full moon is the culmination of a cycle. It’s all about peak intensity: concentrated energy from the preceding phase overflowing, spilling out into emotion, action and matter.

I can attest to that. Been a roller coaster of a week of emotional upheaval and taking action in my world, how about yours?

What better way to Celebrate the cold, winter full moon that a new release where emotions run high and action must be taken? CHARM ME AGAIN fit that bill perfectly.

Breaking the curse is only the first step to forever. Two families long divided brought together through love, understanding & an adventure of a lifetime. Join the magical adventure, pick up a copy today.

Daylan, a warlock, is being haunted, but what the ghost wants is a mystery. His magical powers bring him no closer to an answer—until he encounters Josie, a Yoga instructor.

But when she is kidnapped by an ancient Fae Warrior set on revenge Daylan must rescue her before the rogue claims her as his own. During his quest, his world spirals out of control, and a devastating curse comes to light. Could the ghost hold the answers he needs?

Can he break the age-old curse to save Josie and their future, or will Daylan lose her forever?

Turning the pages for a peek-

Without warning, Shay and his Fae warriors materialized beside the group. An eyebrow raised, he nodded. “We’ll take it from here.”

“Not with Josie inside,” he protested.

A loud boom shook the ground and the side wall of the building collapsed. Purple smoke billowed up and Shay cursed. “Get him. Don’t let him get away.” The warriors rushed forward toward the building. A column of the purple haze rose upward and spread across the sky dimming to lilac. Shay and the warriors disappeared with the haze after one of their own.

Josie stumbled out coughing and choking. Daylan rushed to her side as she collapsed in his arms holding her hands out, palms up. The group formed a circle around them as he eased her to the ground.

Summer’s eyes widened as she pointed to the subtle orange glow rising from Josie’s palms. “I believe her latent magic must have saved her.”

One more celebration –

Dec 4th #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge Book Boyfriend or Girlfriend

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge December 4, 2019, Book Boyfriend or Girlfriend This was another difficult topic, so many book boyfriends so little time, but I finally narrowed it down to a few.

Let’s start with –Troublemaker by Linda Howard. Book Boyfriend Morgan Yancy, an operative and team leader in a paramilitary group. Loved his character and his interactions with the heroine and her dog.

The Witness by Nora Roberts. Book boyfriend would be The police chief Brooks Gleason is a laid back law man with a hippy mother. I found Brooks characteristics to be fun and sexy.

The Very Thought of You by Claire Marti – In this one book boyfriend would be Jake Cruz. Yeah he was a hunky fireman with a soft spot for animals. Do we see a pattern forming here? LOL

And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention A Demon’s Witch. Yeah it’s my own book, in fact my debut novel back in 2015. But the hero, Bruce is just to smoking hot to ignore. Keeping a lid on all the paranormal beings inhabiting Washington D.C., is a daunting job. Bruce, a six hundred year old demon and the Territory Overlord of the Western Hemisphere, keeps his finger on the pulse of DC’s power players through the activities at his highly successful Wycked Hair Salon. His movie star good looks and body builder physique keeps his dance card full and the rumor mills running. Within these walls, his anonymity is safe, mostly.
Pssst…. I’ll let you in on a little secret… Shhh… I modeled him after my own real life hero I’ve been married to for many moons. Just don’t tell anyone. Okay?

Alas, I need to get back to my writing cave where deadlines loom, so let’s see what other authors list as their Book Boyfriends or Book Girlfriends. L&SR

Teaser from CHARM ME AGAIN –

For several months a Scottish Highland Ghost has haunted Daylan, in his personal life, his professional life and at his forge. Yet, being a talented warlock, he is no closer to discovering what the ghost wants or why he chose Daylan. A trip to his estranged sister’s home in Colorado may have unforeseen consequences especially when family history leads him to a shocking discovery.

As his attraction blooms for Josie, a yoga instructor in his sister’s studio, he realizes there may be more to Josie than he can imagine. When an ancient rogue Fae Warrior set on revenge kidnaps her in an attempt to claim her as his own, a devastating curse comes to light.

Daylan’s world spirals out of control as he searches for Josie. Can he break the age old curse to save her and their future, or will she be lost to him forever?

Nov 27th #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge Books that Influenced My Life

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge November 27, 2019, Books that Influenced My Life. I had to think long and hard about this topic but finally came up with a few. First, I want to announce the winner of my $10.00 amazon gift card from last week’s Charm Me Again new release celebration. <drum roll> Marianne Arkins. Marianne, please contact me via email. Congratulations! Now on with my list of Books that Influenced My Life:

Let’s start with – Your Erroneous Zones by Wayne W. Dyer. Step by step advice for escaping the trap of negative thinking & taking control of your life. Yeah I know it was published back in 1991, but the premise of the book still holds true today. I admit that some days the trap catches me, but I do my best to avoid it. Making me a much happier person most of the time.

This is going to sound odd, but bear with me. Stephanie Myers vampire books influenced me to take writing and publishing seriously. It was after reading the Twilight series, I decided I’d polish my own manuscripts and actually look for a publishing house. Now mind you, I’ve written stories for as long as I can remember. But as with most people life got in the way. Now I’m not saying that if she could get published…. so could…. well you get the drift. During that time, other events in my life confirmed it was time to live my dream. Five years and ten books later, I’m still pinching myself to make sure it’s all real.

It was through Deborah Harkness’s books, ie Discover of Witches, that I found out I really did enjoy a well written historical fiction. Of course it still had to have magic in it. LOL Up until those books, I wasn’t remotely interested. So I guess you’d say she influenced me to give historical fiction a try. The second book in her series, Shadow of Night took place in 16th century London during the Elizabethan era. I truly enjoyed the book from the descriptions to the character’s actions.

I must be hard to influence as those are the only Books that Influenced My Life and come to mind. I’m sure there must be more, but…

Alas, I need to get back to my writing cave where deadlines loom, so let’s see what books the other authors in this blog challenge claim influenced their lives L&SR

Pssst… While you’re here, don’t forget to check out my paranormal romance/mysteries click here.

So excited! I’ve got a new release, Charm Me Again, December 9, 2019, available for pre-order now. Please check it out.
